I have been posting in the Equinox 800 forum about a problem I have been having with my unit. It turned out the battery and headphone jack were both cracked (not my fault, but a Minelab issue) and was allowing water and humidity to leak into the unit and it corroded the electronics and caused the unit to go into a fast chatter when it warmed up and became unusable. You can read about this in the Forum, but long story short I ended up buying a new pod head, since mine was out of warranty.
The new pod heard works great. I have spent about six hours searching this week, on four different beaches near me. In the attached image, you can see there is a lot of junk and just fun stuff to find like the set of Gerber pliers which I think will clean up, money, and a bunch of Hot Wheel cars.
Also, before anyone tells me shut off the iron mode, I like to find the tent stakes as I give them to my Godson for his scout troop for holding their tents, etc.
The best things I found this trip, as you can see in the images, is a small silver chain bracelet; part of a gold earring; a nice ring marked as silver with what appears to be a topaz stone; a really ugly necklace with a snake on it; but the big prize is a heavy chain. When I cleaned up the chain, I saw the tag on it says, 18K. I will have to see what it is worth when I get home. (Please forgive my dirty fingernails in the image, as I just got in from searching!)
Having a detector which is working correctly sure makes a big difference.
