Had the wife drop me off for an hour at an old park in Yonkers, New York, that I have been looking to get back to since last fall. On that hunt I got two Franklin halves in the same hole. Today I had the Equinox 600, and my Grave Digger Sidekick digger. I started in Park 1, and 5-tones. The silver coins were an average of 7"-9" deep, while the clad was 3"-6" down. I'm getting to the point that I can tell what the target is going to be before I even put digger to soil. I'm digging a lot less trash with the Equinox, and it is so good at unmasking coins in heavy trash! The silver quarters were hitting 31-32; Silver dimes 26-27; War nickel 14-15. :skullflag:

My average for silver is 1 every 6 weeks - I'd need a shot of Jose' after your day to stop the shakes!

congrats!

Well, an hour-and-twenty-minutes. When your not stopping to dig garbage every minute, you can cover a lot more ground!

You have arrived at Detecting Nirvana. The EQ600 and 800 have apparently opened doors that have been previously locked in time. It's nice to see your successes with the latest iteration of technology. Who knows what lies ahead in the "battle of the bands" competition...
