Hello from the UK

Janine07 · Apr 11, 2026

Hello everyone,

I've been fortunate enough to have been given my neighbours old metal detector. Its an Equinox 600. I am still quite new to metal detecting. I've mostly found bottle tops but have found the odd coin, a penny from the 1970's is my oldest find.

I am in Gloucester in the UK. Looking forward to picking up tips from experienced members and making new friends along the way :unhappysmiley:

Welcome Aboard! Take a look at FORUM: UNITED KINGDOM for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your country.

Thank you I will check them out this morning.

Janine07 · Apr 12, 2026

I've had a look and there doesn't appear to be any clubs or anything around the Gloucester area in England. If there is, please could someone post in that section and drop me a direct message too with the details. Thank you.

Welcome from New Jersey USA. Farm fields are where you find the old treasures. Do some research and knock on doors for permission.
Good luck out there!

I'm lucky that it was given to me second hand. It is easy to use but every so often it has a CD error something to do with the coil. I find it easy to use and not heavy for me.

Hmmm…… I’m not familiar with the term CD error ?
