    Large Coil Thoughts

    I have only used the large coil about five times. The first few times I did not find anything deep in the parks that I have hunted with the 3030 and the Equinox 600 with the stock coil. I did find several nickels but few were very deep. Yesterday I hunted an old amusement park that has been...

    Nickels

    I decided to clean the nickels that I have been finding with the Equinox. I might have too much time on my hands digging nickels but the Equinox makes it fun. I run in Park 1 and usually make use of the notching feature by setting the detector up to only hear 12 and 13 and everything higher...

    Pennies

    Why do the pre 1982 penny numbers jump around on the screen from 21 to 28? I can usually hunt with a sensitivity around 24. I thought that might be the problem but even when I change the sensitivity down the numbers still jump. The other coin readings are fairly stable. It seems only the...

    Notching and Depth

    I have the Equinox 600 and I was wondering about depth when using the Accept/Reject button to notch out targets. I did a simple air test only accepting 12, 13, and 14 to see how deep it would register on a nickel. vs. using the default settings that come up when doing a factory reset. I left...

    Target Trace and Target Trace Pinpoint

    I have been hunting in the default coin mode with ferrous coin and pitch hold selected. The only other change that I make to the program is to check the Target Trace and Target Trace Pinpoint boxes. I noticed that on silver coins that are deeper than five inches neither target trace or target...

    High Pitch Threshold

    I have been trying to use 'Pitch Hold' for the last several hunts. When a good target is detected I get a good high pitch sound which you would expect. However, sometimes I do not get the high pitch sound but the threshold sound changes to a high pitch for a moment. By threshold, I mean the...

    Sensitivity

    I usually use the auto sensitivity set at +3 but sometimes I would try the manual. I never realized that I had to take off the auto ground balance to use the manual sensitivity. Yesterday I went back to a park and tried the manual sensitivity without the auto ground balance on. I used the...

    Pattern 1 vs Pattern 2

    Using the stock coin program without any changes, does the detector lose any depth detection when toggling from pattern 2 to pattern 1? It is certainly quieter when going through trash when it is set on pattern 1 but I do not want to lose any detection depth. Thanks for your comments.

    EXhange2

    I am still having trouble with the XChange2 program. I was able to use it to create a program but I am not able to transfer any of the existing programs that are in the 3030 resource center. I have read the XChange2 user manual, Andy's handbook, and a post in the 3030 resource center that...

    transfer program from exchange2 to detector

    Finally able to figure out a little bit about creating a program on xchange2 but unable to send the program from computer to detector after it was saved. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks for any help.

    Modifying Pattern 1 or 2

    Can I make my own discrimination pattern using Pattern 1 or 2 without going to the XChange 2 program? I know how to darken the screen and pass the coil over a coin and have it accepted. I am trying to move a cursor around and create my own discrimination pattern. Example: I would like to...

    Headphone Jack

    Does any company make a 1/4" to 1/8" mono to stereo jack, that can be used with the 3030, so that ear buds can be used when detecting? It would need to shut off the external speaker. Thanks for your help.

    Headphone Jack

    I have read the post about modifying the jack or adaptor so that it will allow other headphones to be used in the 3030. I have asked in both a Radio Shack and a stereo store if they sold the mono to stereo jacks and was told they do not have them. I was wondering if anyone has rigged their...

    Empty Hole

    I am not much of a writer but I enjoy most of the stories about detecting. I decided to share something that happened to me in the hope that it might encourage others to tell about unusual detecting experiences. I only had my 3030 for six months and was still having trouble finding the...

    What would you change?

    I have hunted the local parks and found several silver coins in the trashy areas. I think there may be a few more coins to find but I have not been successful in the last few outings. I usually hunt in coin mode with an open screen. The only program changes I make are using target trace...

    Quarter Total

    Just to amuse myself I counted all the clad quarters I found this year. I found 197 hunting four parks and a few houses. I was hoping to find all fifty state quarters this year but I was short finding eight. Surprisingly I did not find one from my home state which is New York. There were...

    Pennies

    I have been hunting in a park that has quite a bit of trash and doing well with the finds. I usually only dig a few pennies that are not wheats because they ring 12 42 or below. On my last trip to the park I dug about twenty pennies that would jump between 41 and 43 and occasionally they would...

    Programing

    I know most people go to XChange to program their detectors but I have been trying to learn how to make new program modes just using the machine. I would like to know how to change programs out in the field. I have had the machine for over a year and have made many good finds so I am not...

    New Search Mode

    When Coin Mode is used to make a new "Program number 6" search mode, does one of the four remaining modes have to be used if another search mode is made or can Coin Mode be used again? Thanks for your help.

    Making A New Program Mode

    When I make a new program using coin mode and I want to make another program, can I use coin mode again or does it have to be one of the other four stock programs? Thanks for your help.
