The Equinox came in on Wednesday and I have been excited all week to get out with it this weekend for the first time. Although it was 22 degrees and snowing this morning, I did manage to get out for an hour and a half. I went back to the field I found the walking liberty half in last weekend and pulled out a 1952 wheat cent and a 1890 Indian head cent. I also pulled out the various finds seen in the picture. I was using Field 1 and the only change I made was I set recovery to 4, since I knew there wasn't many targets in the field and was going for more depth. The Equinox seems like a great detector!

Had my Nox 800 since release, it works best when not pushed to the limits.

I use field 1, 20 sensitivity...maybe 22 on a really clean site. Threshold so you can hear the hum, iron bias 4 and recovery 5.
2 tones.

Works for me on heavy iron farm fields in the UK....give it a whirl.

Dig anything that hits both ways (turn 90⁰) sound of tone is more important than number.

Good luck.[emoji106]
