    New V540

    I did very little detecting last year and the warranty on my E600 expired in December. Per the specs on the V540, it seems that it does a lot of what the E600 can do, so I ordered the standard V540 (wired headphones, 12x9 coil) from Backwoods Detectors. I received it yesterday, tossed a few...

    First Session with Version 2

    Took my E600 with Version 2 to a nearby park. Park1 default settings and F2 at 2. Bottle caps gave a choppy signal with chirping. No mistaking it for a good item but as with other ambiguous signals, you have to judge if it should be skipped. Spent about an hour, found two clad quarters, 4...

    E600 Update

    Downloaded the update file at a wi fi coffee shop and off-line at home installed the update with no problems. The lower back light is welcome. Other changes may have included revising the way different modes weight the Multi-IQ responses. Maybe some of the modifications that you read about or...

    Alex and Ani Bracelet

    Local park, E600, 11" coil, Park2, on surface but hidden by grass, a bracelet showed 16 on the meter. Websurfing for name on item attached to bracelet, Alex and Ani showed a wide variety of bracelets. This one likely cost around $28.

    Cherry Picking Settings

    I modified Park1 as per the Equinox Handbook to cherry pick a local park where much of the ground is already dried out and too hard to dig. Noise cancel was not necessary but I did it out of habit. Found a key marked Sargent 1308, an eye glasses temple, 2 pennies, and assorted junk. This...

    1 Yuan Coin with Equinox 600

    I detected a local bark chip area that was recently renovated. I was using Field2, all default settings except I raised the threshold from silent to a slight hum. First item found was a 1 inch key, registered 15. Probably fell off a pendant and is pot metal - it has no markings. Then I found...

    3 E600 Bench Test Results

    My new Equinox 600 had the upgrade done by Backwoods before shipping it to me, so I have no way to compare with the original software. I was able to run the E600 in my apartment after Noise Cancel. Here are the results from 3 test items with the items held an inch or 2 from the coil. 1945...

    New E 600

    Received new Equinox 600 yesterday evening so had time to assemble it and charge it. First session will be Sunday morning. Seems well built and no wobble. 11" coils tucks under when I put detector on floor. Maybe needs a coil stabilizer or I am just not tightening it enough. Bubbles hard to...

    All Metal and Highly Oxidized Coins

    I occasionally still use my Stinger and I was recently rereading the instruction manual and noticed something that may be relevant to current detectors. "For maximum depth and to avoid missing a small or very old coin, search in All Metal mode. This will prevent missing an especially old coin...

    Detech Chaser Information

    Per Detector Electronics, Chaser must be used in above freezing weather. At or below freezing, don't use it. Manual does not include operating and storage range. Some ads for the Chaser list features that at first seemed hard to find. Built in "Help Function" for example. In the various...

    Detech Chaser -61

    Bought Chaser in November from Backwoods Detectors (and traded in 2 detectors). Today was my 9th session, 45 minutes in a local park. Discrim.Zero can show negative numbers on the screen. I dug a -61 and it turned out to be a bobby pin. There is no table of positive and negative numbers and...

    Detech Chaser One Touch GB

    The owner's manual refers to but does not explain automatic ground balance. An advertisement posted by a metal detector vendor lists the features of the Chaser and mentions One Touch Ground Balance. So, while inside in my apartment, I turned on detector and pressed the ground balance button...

    Detech Chaser Notes

    The Chaser does not have notch or adjustable tone breaks. Those are features I never used when available on detectors I've owned in the past, but some people may want those features. The ground balance appears to be fixed unless you use manual balancing. The manual refers to automatic ground...

    30 Minutes with Chaser Yields An Ankh

    Had 30 minutes to detect with my Detech Chaser using Coin program, 12 x 10 coil. Went to a local park, found lots of bottle caps showed 45 on the meter. In the bark chip area another 45, was tempted to leave it, but dug anyway and found an ankh (Egyptian symbol). No marking on back, no doubt...
