I'm new to the hobby. My Equinox 800 was delivered this week and I spent a day familiarizing myself with the operations. Watched a video from Sod Busters Metal Detecting to get the basics down. Saturday was a beautiful day here in Ohio and the frost was out of the ground so I set out (in my front yard). My first find was the bolt, then the old style pull tab. The large piece of T post was the last. No treasure but familiarizing myself with tones and signals. Went up the road to an old RC Airplane flying field and tried up there. Able to distinguish a lot of trash and not dig, and found a few coins. The oldest was a 1967 dime. Overall I was not disappointed! Looking forward to the next hunt. Starting to put a list together of local areas I want to hunt.
