Day 1 with Equinox 800 - 3 Coppers, every spoon they owned, and a whatzit?

[FieldStone]

Temps just above freezing here in New England prior to the snow coming. Have not had a chance to try out the Equinox and its been sitting idle for 15 days. Debated on the beach or the woods, and deiced to revisit a spot that I know is off everyone radar. Field 1, sensitivity 23 and lets do this. First target was a spoon, and they just kept coming. Dug for about 3 hours and amazed how deep this unit will find a target. Ended up with all the spoons this homestead owned, an awesome gilded button, 1818 Large Cent, 1850 Large Cent, King George II Half Penny, XL Safety pin with buckle and two rivets with leather all in the same hole, 45+ square nails, oxen shoe, misc iron and this whatzit thing which appears to be brass and be some kind of buckle? Lots of targets still there to be dug, just need to figure out how to avoid the iron. Iron VDI was all over from 11 - 32 so just had to dig them all to learn the machine.

I want one of those 800's. I've got the coin but I'm afraid I'm too old and dumb to figure out all the controls. By the time I'd figure it out I'll be in the grave! The older I get, the simpler things need to be, not MORE complicated. I'll sit here and watch all the neat stuff brought up by you young guys with the NOX's. Gary

The smallest state. Predicting 4-8, then 3-6 now 2-4 with up to inch of ice in the mix. Somewhere, someone is in shorts and a tshirt with the A/C on!

Also in RI, Burriville here. Nice coppas

Never to old to learn, maybe just lacking the desire. Machine does not appear to be difficult to learn at all. Pick a mode, and go then fine tune as you go along and spend more time with it.

Nice coppers and buttons! The Nox loves spoons, seems to be able to pull spoons through the worst iron. You did very well with the new machine. Field2 seems to do a better job ID’ing iron for me. I also run with the Horseshoe button. You will eventually be able to hear the distinction between an iron dragging high tone (rusty nail) and a sharp high tone with iron grunt nearby.
