    Last hunt of the trip...

    Still on vacation back home in PA; I got out for my last hunt of the trip Sunday, with my friend John. We had a good day, digging at an old site; the pictures are of my old coin finds, and some relics (flat buttons, lantern parts, etc. etc.) It was a really nice day (until an afternoon...

    A couple of oldies today...

    THIS is one reason why I love vacationing back home in PA so much... (A two-hour hunt at the former site of an old church from the mid 1800s...now long gone, and nothing but forest; I only dug two keepers the entire hunt, but I sure can't complain!)

    A few keepers from a recent hunt...

    Hi all! A couple of buddies and I had a nice hunt last Wednesday; each of us managed several older coins, from a grassy yard between an old hospital and an old church. Here are my best finds from the hunt... Steve

    Got a couple yesterday, including a dime trifecta...

    Hi all! I finally managed to get out for a few hours yesterday, and get some detecting in. Since I've basically been "home-bound," as many of us have (except for going to work), it was nice to be able to get out and enjoy some spring weather -- especially since it's easy to "socially distance"...

    Got out on Monday, and dug a few keepers...

    Hi all! It was a beautiful day here on Monday -- and my buddy and I got out for some digging. We hit a park that I had never hunted before, but he's been there several times over the years. As all of our city parks are, it's been well hunted, but after a couple of hours I lucked into a little...

    Information regarding aptX-LL headphones, the Equinox, and pairing issues cropping up recently...

    Hello all! There has been quite a bit of chatter lately, regarding Miccus/Trond BT-80 headphones -- which have ALWAYS worked well with the Equinox -- but have recently been giving Equinox users problems, specifically with pairing. There has been some confusion as to whether or not the issue is...

    Last couple of hunts...a little silver, alot of wheat, and a gold ring return!

    Hi all! Here are the keepers from my last two hunts...well -- except for the gold ring, that is. That was a return, for a woman who lost it in her yard awhile back, breaking up a dog fight! All finds were with the Equinox 800. Thanks for looking! Steve [attachment 369061...

    Some finds from my recent trip back home to western PA

    Hi all! I managed to carve out some time to do some digging, while back home in PA the past week. I hit several sites, with a good hunting buddy, including an 1870s farmhouse, an early to mid 1800s foundation, an 1885 house/yard, and a cellar hole of unknown (19th century) age. All hunts were...

    First hunt this year...

    Aside from a quick hour or so at a local park last Friday, to make sure my gear was all in order, Saturday was the first real hunt for 2019. In fact, I've been so busy, that it was the first hunt in several months! It was great to get out, on a gorgeous day, and it was nice to make a few finds...

    Equinox complete carbon-fiber shaft prototype...

    Hi, all! Parts arrived today for one of the two prototype Equinox complete shafts I've been planning to build, and I just finished assembly. I am VERY pleased with the quality of the parts -- especially the clamping cam lock, which was a large portion of the focus for the design. I have done...

    Equinox lower rod project -- SUCCESS!

    Hi all; As some of you may know, I started a project about 8 months ago, where I set out to build a couple of carbon-fiber lower rods for my CTX 3030. I had a thread going here, marking my progress along the way, and I finally achieved a very nice, workable design. Well, I now own two Minelab...

    Air Test Comparisons -- 6" coil vs. 11" coil on U.S. coins...

    Hello all! Based on requests from several folks who are curious, I went ahead and did some air testing with my new Minelab 6” coil, attached to my Equinox 800. I wanted to give folks some idea of the relative capabilities of this coil as compared to the 11” coil. While all the normal caveats...

    The past couple of hunts...

    Hi all! I have been out doing some night hunting the past few nights, as this is the time I have available right now due to my shift schedule! The first picture (of the UGLY war nickel and the wheat) is from my local park that after too many years of hunting it WAY too much, it's become VERY...

    Today's in-the-field comparisons between the Equinox and CTX...
