Finally I got something military. I ordered the 6" coil for the Equinox 600 on friday and got it yesterday just before dinner. I told my wife I'm going out to the old carnival grounds that my parents took me to when I was a kid. The carnival grounds are about 10 miles away from where i live and right next door to Niagara on the lake and Queenston hieghts where the battle of 1812 took place. I tried the new coil on park 2 and field 2 and this is what I got after 30 min. IMG_1025.webp so being the beach and shallow water hunter I am I thought I would just try beach 2 and after 60 min. this is what I got.IMG_1031.webp now this is in a carnival park using beach 2 on the grass no water or sand for miles. I pulled the British WW1 machine gun corps cap badge with crossed vickers with brass Kc crown above the guns and I couldn't believe what I had just found. By far my best ever find. Now here are some more pics of a week ago finds from a beach about 10 miles away. One that I hunt weekly.

well Gene I will say this about using beach 2 in a park. It was very quiet and every + signal was a good target accept one.

I have actually used Park 1 at the beach with success finding coins. I found it to be quieter in some beach conditions. All I'm thinking now is oh man, this machine is really tricky.

I agree. Lots to learn. I’ll try park 1 at the beach next time out. Thanks.
