    Manticore update?

    Got an e-mail from Minelab and I thought I saw an update for the Manticore. You fellas that own one should look into it. Then again I just got done with the snowblower and may be snowblind...:cool:

    Finally struck gold!

    On 12-9 I was eating supper when my doorbell rang. Local realtor had a relative that was playing with the dog in the backyard and lost his heirloom grandfathers wedding gold wedding band.He asked if I still had a metal detector and I told him I did. He wanted me to come right way and I said I...

    Minelab Equinox 700/900 updates??

    Has Minelab ever done an update for our new 700s/900s? Or are we left holding the bag again as other companies update their machines?

    Field 2 and Park 1 experiment on the Equinox 900

    I managed to get out yesterday for a 3 1/2 hunt. I was using my Equinox 900 in a bean field that I have hunted before. Iron bias at 2 and recovery speed at 4 and sensitivity between 22-25. Along the road where the power lines were I ran in Field 2 to reduce EMI and away from the lines I ran...

    Getting better with the Equinox 900

    I spent about 2 hours doing some research today. Ended up driving about an hour of that to talk to a farmer to get permission to hunt one of his fields. He was out planting so I talked with his wife. She took my name and number since it was a cornfield and not planted yet. I asked her about the...

    Tone comparison between Equinox 600 and Equinox 900.

    The weather here has been miserable the last couple of days. Cold,windy,and snow flurries off and on. Since I have permission to hunt a couple of brush laden old home sites,I decided to put the new 6" coil on my Equinox 600 for going thru the brush and tall grass. The 6" coil looks tiny compared...

    Saturday's 4 hour hunt

    My partner and I went out for a 4 hour hunt Saturday. Struck out at the first site where a school house was in the 1880s. Went to another field I had permission for and we found a few coins. There was broken glass all over the place including the tops of old colored medicine bottles. My friend...

    4 hours in the field for this??

    A bit windy yesterday and in the mid 50s. Winter is returning to Iowa today so I am happy we got out for a bit. All I found was a token and a dime. No pennies or nickles to be had. My partner found a 1923 merc and an 03 Barber...

    Equinox 900 struggles...

    I have about 6 hours on my new 900. I went to three different spots that have been pounded by myself and others. I have a 43 Merc,a beat up Rosey and maybe 3 wheats and a memorial cent. I dropped the iron bias and recovery speed to get more depth. I have been running Park 1 and Field 2...

    Equinox 900. My first impressions.

    I have the 900 up and running! I have another post going that I don't like the ML 85 headphones. Playing with it a bit in the house doesn't do it justice. Coming from the 600,I find the navigation pretty easy. Going thru the tones I prefer at this time 5 tones. The Dp and At doesn't do it for...

    ML 85 Headphones

    I have the headphones on the charger now. But somehow these headphones seem kind of cheap to me? How many here are using these headphones or is there something better? Thanks! Ted

    Gonna step it up a bit this year!

    As many of you know,my wife has retired. We are going to learn her how to run the Equinox 600. I think it will be fun to take a picnic lunch and go metal detecting when we can! Since she is going to inherit my 600 I needed a new machine. She won't let me use a social security check for a new...

    Minelab Equinox 600 compared to Minelab Equinox 700

    I haven't seen much on the new 700. We have a ways to go before we can dig in N.E. Iowa. My 600 got me over 20.00 in clad in 2022 and 30 silvers. I am happy with the 600 and other than the expanded target id on the 700 I don't know if I can justify the 700. Thoughts and opinions please!

    Last one for the year??

    I was hunting last Thursday in the nice 68* weather! It rained earlier in the day so I knew my time would be limited! Rain was forecast for the afternoon so I had a bite to eat then grabbed my trusty Equinox 600 and headed out the door! The first stop was an 1860 house that I had permission to...

    I found some more!

    Went out yesterday in the wind! It did get up to about 50* but the ground is very hard due to no moisture. You have to be very careful digging out your coins. I got three more Barber dimes,a buffalo nickle ,some Indian head cents. Also recovered a military button that looks to have an anchor on...

    My season is coming to a close...

    It has been a hit and miss kind of year for me. Fall is my favorite time to hunt and this year it has been extremely dry! I have been hitting a couple of bean fields the last couple of days with my Equinox 600 and have found only 3 barber dimes and a couple of green Indian head cents. It is very...

    Battery question

    As my rechargeable packs are now junk is there any options available? I know RNB has discontinued their FBS battery. I am using my pack with 8 AA batteries in it. I am playing with the Explorer SE and put a smaller coil on it for hunting crop rows and along sidewalks. Thanks! Ted

    Short hunt

    It has been a while since I have posted any finds. Most here find more silver in a day than I do all year! It wasn't bad out yesterday...Mid 80s and a tad humid. I was hunting what I thought was an old ball diamond but I never pulled any older coins. I did get three silvers for a total of six...
