    CTX3030 map question

    I never found the gps useful at all. I think accuracy of the gps would depend upon a lot of factors, but that's probably as good as I ever got.

    Numbers don't show-up!

    Mine does this too. Sometimes it drives me nuts.

    110 video

    I don't do videos, and don't know of any, but it does what it is supposed to do: increase finds while limiting trash. If you have an etrac load it up and play with it. I made a minor tweak : dropping FE down to 26. I know I will dig a bit more trash, but I have found a few coins in that FE...

    The Equinox sucks

    I usually do park 1. The vagaries of detecting: two weeks ago found a quarter in a spot pounded for 30 years. No iron in the hole. 5". In all that time, that tiny little piece of real estate never had a coil swing over it. Modes have no effect on the problem I'm having. There are...

    The Equinox sucks

    13 for sure. I dig 11-14. My only war nickel with the nox was 13/14.

    Etrac weight!

    Sas--- look at Elmy's post from yesterday. I've been swinging both hands recently. Feels awkward, but you'll get used to it.

    An Elmy shout out....

    Thanks, E. Hi rise-- a game changer. The signal was iffy but the pinpoint was saying 12-44/45. There was no iron in the hole: the coin was at the depth limit of the coil. Looking forward to trying it on the 12x6 that is coming.

    An Elmy shout out....

    Took the etrac out today, with my six inch coil. Program of the day, Elmy's 1-10. Went to a spot I have pounded with etrac (tornado coil), ctx (stock coil) and Nox, about 8 or 9 times. Found 9 clad dimes and one wheat penny that I've missed. How the hell does that happen? Ronstar and I met...

    etrac weight

    Been swinging the etrac for 8 hours today... right now that setup looks sweet.

    The Equinox sucks

    Thanks silver. At first I scoffed at the notion that you 'never hunt a place out', but Ronstar and I keep hitting coins in an area that has been pounded. I will grid a spot from all angles of the compass. My speed is usually 4, I was just using different setting to experiment. 4 seems to be...

    How i hunt with a 6 inch coil

    @pull-- anybody can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong: I cannot separate the two targets. I have found that like a nickel/pulltab near a conductive coin, the signal gets pulled downward-- so a silver dime comes across as a penny.

    The Equinox sucks

    @fw-- I did FE and FE2. Each from zero to four. It didn't make a difference on the 'invisible' quarter. In other plugs, the higher the FE, on both, the less distinguishable the quarter was. I seemed to be getting the best results with very low FE/FE2 and a recovery speed of 4.

    Got out again this afternoon to same place I found the Barber Quarter.

    There is just something magical about those Mercs. I love 'em.

    The Equinox sucks

    Well, I've experimented, two days in a row, same plug, same site. Factory reset. Loaded the earlier software version as somebody mentioned earlier.. Programmed Andy S. In the original plug the Nox will still not give a single hint there is a silver quarter therein. CTX and Etrac hit it...

    Big Silver Exposed / Old Detailed Cross / 1917 Dog License Tag

    What coil are you using? Thx
  16. J

    Need your 2 cents on a different coil......

    I have a Tornado coil, which stays on most of the time, and a 6" SEL which I probably don't use as much as I should. I never use my stock coil anymore, which is maybe bad strategy. I vaguely remember some Elmy posts on this subject. Do a search. Best,

    The Equinox sucks

    Thx earthly. New machine. Latest software. 50 tones. The tone on the quarter was that of a penny. Andy S. FE 0. Rec speed 4. Sensitivity 24. If the weather is fine, I might go back out to that plug with quarter and play some more.

    The Equinox sucks

    Guys, I find silver with the Nox. For months I have often been swinging two machines at the same time, because the Nox nearly missed a seated quarter at 4". That was a wtf moment. That your machine finds coins does not disprove the point. The Nox finds coins, which is why I haven't wrapped...

    The Equinox sucks

    You are right Bud. There are certain conditions, and I can't pinpoint what kind, where a coin is invisible to the machine. That quarter was 'in your face' with the F75 and the Etrac. That the Nox was giving an iffy zincoln signal is pretty frustrating.

    The Equinox sucks

    Sunday morning last: I go back to where Ronstar found a Barber dime. The Saturday he found it, I gridded with the Nox an hour later. Zip. The next day I go back with the Etrac and gridded the same 100 sq feet-- Score! Just 5' away from Ronstars plug: 1937 Merc. this isn't the first time...
