Terry,
I have never hunted salt water beach.
Have you triee to go to 5khz and use on beach to check signals for bottlecaps, realizing you will have to come out of beach mode to do.

No, never tried it. In the wet sand there is usually less trash, but Coney Island sees millions each summer, so its a different animal. Orchard beach, up in the Bronx, is the same way. Lots of gold, lots of trash! We'll figure the Equinox out, we always do!

If you wave the bottle cap back and forth while moving it past the edge of the coil until you loose the signal does it give an iron tone as the last signal?...My CZ 21 and AT pro will do that on a cap every time.

Escape, the only thing that I might offer, IF the EQ in Multi-Tone (50) is like the Minelab Safari, then I found that on the Safari a standard size gold band, such as my own, will show a say 14-15, as well as a bottle cap, difference is in the tone, high pitch tone, most always, bottle cap. Mid tone to a upper mid tone, pull tabs, sinker, nickel, gold ring. Generally speaking. I would only guess that with 3 or 5 tones?, many would be lumped together. Someone with a better sense of hearing might separate even better. In a park setting there is of course many signals at times, and VDI #'s will bounce around and cannot always be counted on at all. As of yet, I have not bought a EQ, but will be, I believe it will outclass the Safari, I am only guessing that both being a Minelab, both having Multi-Tones, (like a flute), they may read the same.

Nice hunt Escape. Funny, out by me (Eastern LI) the rusty caps were hitting 15/16. Each one I dug looked pretty much like yours but did not ring up 13 at all. I was digging everything from 12-14 and was bringing in a bunch of nickels plus some jewelry. I was using Beach 1 in the wet sand with default settings just upped the sensitivity to max. Interesting.
Best of luck in 2018

Twoyewts, you nailed it. Gotta dig the iffy targets.
His conclusion on the half dollar test was misleading. He wasn't looking at the ferrous number, which would have shown the difference between a quarter and a half dollar with the CTX. Usually the conductive number is a bit lower on the half too. Kind of a mute point anyway......I mean, are you really going to dig just one over the other?

Echoplex, may very well be a good tip for beach mode, thanks for posting.

seen another Equinox video you will get the iron grunt at the edge of the coil if you switch it to all metal mode

I dont know why anyone would hunt at the beach in any mode other than all metal.
