I have been visiting this forum pretty regularly but have not posted til now. I have only been detecting for about a year now. I first purchased a Minelab X-terra 505 and once that got me hooked on this hobby I then upgraded to an Equinox 800. I've learned a lot about this hobby over that last year and have been fortunate enough to make some very nice finds. Last weekend I went out with 2 friends who have been detecting for a long time, both of which convinced me to make the Equinox investment. We wanted to get out one last time before the ground freezes up here in upstate NY. Didn't find much for older coinage but I was lucky to pull this 10k ring at about 3-4". It rang up a solid 12 on the Equinox. I'm not the best picture taker but hopefully I have them loaded correctly.

It was a great way to end my first season!

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard mastroj187! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) - members may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

Great looking ring. I couldn't think of a better way to close out your hunting season. Sounds and looks like you are getting the Equinoxes figured out. Well Done.
