My best detecting day ever, not because of specifically what I found (some folks may classify as junk) but the circumstances surrounding these nonferrous found.
These items found in my detector proving grounds site.
Hard busted by some good detectors. Folks here probably know of one model and various I coils I have hunted before with due to my previous posting.
Folks, I didn't even really get out of my own shadow and was digging these.
You see the buttons, item on left is a smashed thimbal. Couple bigger brass pieces. A few bullets, even musket ball.
I intentionally wanted to try field mode 2 in this area just to satisfy my own curiosity.
So this is exactly what I did.
If I would have had about 10 shovels to place around the perimeter of this area I found these today, would be very eye opening and would also support highly there is no way in the world I could have missed this many nonferrous finds this close together. There are 2 landmarks near here. I knew exactly were I was today as far detecting/ detecting history.
Running factory field 2, 0 iron bias and used both speed levels 6 and 7.
Sens at 23
Auto GB with 54 in the window.
50 tones
Every single one of these finds gave very good signal but one using multi frequency.
After locating the first 5 suspect targets I checked with park 2 mode.
I could hear all, but volume of tone was louder and tone not as pure sounding. A couple of these when sweeping using park 2, the signals were trying to chop on the edge somewhat.
On these first 5 suspect targets I checked in field 2 detect mode using single freqs of 15, 20, and 40 kHz. At no time did any of these 5 suspect targets give me anything to dig tonally period. Full rotations around suspect area sweeping.
So I kept hunting, except I quit comparing using park 2, but did check all suspect targets before digging using 15, 20, and 40khz.
Only one additional target gave a signal in both 20 and 40 kHz.
The rest of the targets recovered, I got no tone period telling me dig when checking with 15, 20 and 40 kHz.
No target was deeper than 7" deep.
Equinox purred like a kitten.
Folks most if not all these nonferrous objects have been swept likely at least 200 times by myself personally using other models detectors.
No head to head done on any of them.
Equinox the only detector I had with me.
All I can do here is report truthfully what happened.
Folks can draw their own conclusions.
My Equinox will be under my pillow tonite while I'm sleeping.
I love the daylights out of it, especially after today.
Need to add one more comment here.
Folks the coil on the Nox is alive using multi freq. Some of the holes I had to widen big time to recover nonferrous. A new user of Equinox might get fooled due to the way this things works.
Only thing I can say is it has something to do with the tech and coil, how it works. Like it it seeing in more directions vs traditional VLF detector. Call me crazy but this is what I believe.
Seeing is definitely believing.
