First token with my new Equinox 800

[Nick79]

Getting the hang of this machine, had my iron bias set to high. Found this awesome token in a quick hunt after work.
Trying to find info on "The Royal" from Santa Clara, California buy nothing yet. Any help would be appreciated!

I found some info on your token. 801 Franklin Street, 1916-1917, Louis H Leibe, proprietor. I believe it was a saloon or a bar. Just my 2 cents worth. Nice find by the way.

What's the camo on your detector? Is that painted on there or is that a camo cloth cover of some sort? I like it. Gary

Jeff!!! Great work! That is very important because the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara are very close and by them saying in San Jose on Santa Clara means it is from the city of San Jose on Santa Clara (the street) I looked up the proprietor and they had a patent from San Jose.

Thanks Gary, I actually bought the 800 used with the camo cover. The guy had bought the cover from someone who makes them in the UK I believe. It's made out of camo wet suit material, like my duck hunting waders. It's a really snug fit too. He only used the detector 3x before selling it. He liked his amphibio better, and gave me a killer deal on a basically new machine

Cool, thanks! Looks like they have the city wrong. It's from San Jose on Santa Clara Street. I don't have a membership to log in though
