First gold for the Equinox

[The Urban Prospector]

So I bought the Equinox 800 over a year ago and due to my busy schedule, I haven't had the chance to start learning it until a couple weeks ago. I took it out to a local elementary school ballfield that I am very familiar with to practice with it. So after 2 outings to the field (and after the waterproof headphones arrived) I thought it was time to get the machine wet. I decided to take it to a relatively large, old swim area that I have gotten 2 old gold rings from and just "mess around". I got a deep signal (approx 8") and was jumping around at about 5-6 on the vdi. Signal was scratchy but repeatable so I started digging it. It was about knee deep water. After the 3rd or 4th scoop of material I checked the hole and the signal was gone. Swung over the tailings and there was the scratchy signal. Scooped off the top and there it was...

The coins came from the school that I mentioned where I practiced prior to going to the old swim area. Funny thing is that I didn't retrieve that knife until now and I have hunted this old swim area at least a half dozen times.
