Equinox it is as I have been having better luck with it . Off to the old park I go . Five minutes in a guy walks over and asks if I am having any luck . He then invites me over to his two 1870s lots where houses once were .He tells me it has been detected quite a bit but give it a go .

I detected for two hours and I do not think I will be picking the dues back up anytime soon . The weight of the Equinox is worth putting up with over digging crown caps and large deep rust . I can not believe how small that 1930s remington typewriter pin back is . Sterling silver and the 800 was all over it , finding it was another story . Nail after nail after nail , up and down re-scan the plug then the hole . I thought I was crazy but the signal was still there . Just as I was going to cover back up the hole in a small dirt clod right next to the plug she was .

After that it was nonstop action digging no junk and all goodies . Next dig the equinox proposed and I gladly excepted . 16k filled gold wedding band . Anyone know what makers mark a capital A with a box around it would be from ? Women's all brass belt buckle , a childs ponytail clip 47 rosie 20-24 buffs and a 1891 penny .Chuckie cheese even showed up .

I walked up to that guy with all those goodies and his eyes popped out of his head . He let me keep it all and I can return anytime with my magic wand . 1947.JPG buckle.JPG ring2.JPG

Use one in each arm!


The dues has become the backup . I will take the dues over the permission to see what noxy missed .Last time I did this deus only found bottle caps and deep rust . This guy told me yesterday he has pulled three barber halfs and nine barber quarters of this place . I think the large silver is gone but all the trinkets and jewels are still there along with the IHP and buffs .

Excellent finds. That's pretty good for a place that's been hit already. My 800 is due to be on my porch in the next 2 weeks. I've only been waiting since March !

I took both detectors back with me and started out with the equinox first . The guy takes me over to a spot and tells me this is where I found all those barbers . I start to work the area and bam 1888 IHP then a 1905 right away . The next dig is super shallow and a 45 wheat , when I set my pointer down it beeped so I dug with my finger and out pops a little badge that says job's daughters on it . I thought cool , pointer beeps again half of copper rivet and again other half of the rivet and again and this time it is the other half of the girls masonic book mark . Heck yeah . Go pointer .

I then hit a big ole rusty lock with a swing door and has J&N on the door . I set the equinox down and pick up the dues . I use pitch and the sifter program and deus fast using every frequency but the lowest and nothing . I then hit what I think is a deep coin . It is right where I found the first IHP with the equinox . I dig and dig and dig . It is sounding good and looking like , A rusty top to an old 1900 coin bank . I think this explains all those barbers and IHP . Someone put their coin bank in the ground and forgot where they put it . I am thinking at some point maybe when the houses were pushed in a loader broke the back and spread the coins out .The deus found deep rust again but at least this time it was coin related . bank.JPG masonic.JPG j&n lock.JPG
