First Equinox 800 Hunt and BEGINNERS LUCK STRIKES GOLD!

Cal_Cobra · Mar 9, 2018

The EQ800 I ordered in September finally landed!!

I met up with a friend, he brought his Minelab SE Pro and we hunted a little area he discovered a while back. It's been a while since I ran a Minelab detector (had an Etrac about 5-6 years ago, but didn't find it to be a good machine for iron infested relic sites, so sold it). Have a ton to learn on the EQ800, but right out of the gate it makes a nice find! I have a lot to learn about the EQ800, but I recorded my thoughts on the first hunt, good and bad.

Here's the ring cleaned up:

18KT gold, with additional hallmarks on the outside bottom of the band:

Rubies, emeralds and sapphires, pretty sure I just paid for a good chunk of this detector :notworthy:

Thank you! Going to try to detect all day Saturday with the EQ800, different types of sites, park, relic, etc., hoping the weather cooperates and hoping that the EQ800 finds something good :headbang:

Very nice informative video, and congrats on a great looking ring. My 800 should arrive in April. Cant wait to get out there and start using it.
