- Equinox 800 SE and DFX
pic from last 7 hunts...
First nothing spectacular or jaw dropping...lol... Added $17.91 in clad...pushing my total to $41.53 counting two hunts with the DFX.
Added 3 wheaties all in the 1950's...total for year 5... 2 junk rings pushing my ring total to 5....2 silver....
A very large what I tought was a token... but it is actually a very large school metal for volleyball...which after cleaning I could read it...
A 1957-d nickel and a Bicentennial quarter...
Notes
For new users potential buyers...
I still like the weight of the unit and the nice clear display...
I have been using the 6 inch coil due to the trash infested areas....
A few things on the readings I do not like... again the depth meter not accurate.. more of an estimate...
The readings continue to only be used as a back up now to the tones
A few solid signals were foolers... had a quarter come in at 33... usually getting 29/30...
The large school metal came in at 31...
The junk rings both came in with a bouncy 19...
The only true readings for me seem to be the nickel, dime and normally the quarter which has a very easy tone to listen for...
Again tons of tiny ...and I mean tiny pieces of metal being picked up...
I almost feel like the equinox is more calibrated by the size of the item then anything else...some of the readings zincolns are all over (16-26)...
Three more hunts and I am going to make a few adjustments... tried a few basic ones... and I continue to run best sensitivity wise between 17 and 20...
