    a bullet, a knife and silver

    I haven't posted here much as of late. I had zero time for detection but now that Fall is here (almost winter really), I had the time to go out once more. The finds included here are the result of four outings done this past month. Good targets are harder to find but I can still dig up a silver...

    Four silver dimes and a quarter before the storm.

    I took the Equinox 600 out for possibly the last time this year since the first winter storm is in the forecast (actually started while I'm writing this). It was another productive 4 hour hunt in the woods. Same spot I was in last time and I found these 4 silver dimes and a silver quarter. I...

    another day another 75 cents

    Went to the same place I had luck last time with the Nox 600. After about 2 hours all I had was a silver dime and a few pennies. I went to the other side of the path and found a nice coin drop with a silver dime, silver quarter and the nickel close together. Not too far from there, another...

    outdated Nox 600 ends 2022 with a bang !

    I haven't been here in awhile and OMG I wasn't even aware that Minelab had a new version of the 600/800. Heck I just bought my 600 a little more than a year ago ! I knew about the Manticore as a buddy detector has one on order. Anyways, doing fine with my 600. Got some time to go out more at...

    my first merc of 2022

    Finding a mercury dime always makes my day and since they are rather rare in Canada, finding one makes it even better. This is the result of my 2 last Saturday hunts. I didn't find as much silver as I'm used to but lots of copper. Apart from the 1918 large cent, 1929 penny and 1943 victory...

    Saturday is for copper as well

    I got up early this morning to get some detecting time while the weather is super nice. If last Saturday was a good silver day, this one was a very good copper one. Large cents are hard to find and I found two straight up and right beside one another (1886 and 1914). From memory I think its the...

    Saturday is for silver

    My first hunt of 2022. The ground is still partially frozen and snow covers most of it but I had a few hours to spend and I could find many spots without snow and some of these spots were diggable. Given the fact that the conditions were very limiting I didn't think that I would find much but I...

    Equinox 600 encore

    Thought last time would be the very last hunt of 2021 but I got out again yesterday despite the cool temp of -6 Celsius or 21 F. This is cool here, not cold ! Anyway I spent 4 hours trying to find a spot that would still pay up. After 3 hours with a few old pennies in hand I thought this time I...

    Equinox ends 2021 with a bang

    I wasn't sure if I could get to detect again before winter would finally shut me down but lo and behold I had 2 hours of free time yesterday and the temps moved above freezing just enough to get out. Everything that was at ground level was frozen with an ice crust that I could not go through...

    rechargeable power pack

    Anybody tried the RnB power pack for the Equinox ? I was thinking about getting it in the winter months before I can get back out. Seems like an interesting backup if I ever forget to fully charge the detector before use. I read it takes a long time to charge. How long ?

    Last hunt of 2021 ? Equinox good to me again.

    I went out again despite the fact that rain was in the forecast. I knew the temps were going to drop the next day. The Equinox did not disappoint. I found my third ever Rosie, another bluenose silver dime and a very worn silver quarter with an invisible date but it's a King George the fifth so...

    more silver with the equinox

    Another weekend hunt and the Equinox found me a few more interesting coins. I stayed in park 1 mode with everything open except for iron but cranked the sensitivity just a tad to 23. I noticed a definite boost between 21 and 22 and 23 seems to take it to another level. Depth is definitely...

    the coins keep coming

    I had a weekend off so off detecting In my favorite part of the woods I went. This is the result of a 2 day hunt of about 10 hours total. The Equinox did not disappoint once more. I found 15 silver dimes so far with this detector in a relatively short time. I found my first silver quarter shown...

    The NOX 600 has got my head reeling

    Seriously. I don't know when the lucky streak is going to come to an end but this is ridiculous. Back in the heaviest of trash this past weekend and the Equinox does it again with unexpected finds and a boatload of coins. This machines loves trash. The more the better. It seems to pull out the...

    Dazzled by the Equinox once more

    Second time out with this machine. I had a few hours after work to get back in the woods and see if this detector could work its magic again. I got my answer rather quickly. Keep in mind that this place is littered with rusty bottle caps and nails. In other words, not what I would call detector...

    First day out with the 600

    I was waiting for the Nokta simultaneous multi frequency to show up before winter sets in but since it seems to be a no-go, I decided to take a chance on the Equinox. A little background info: I have used many detectors through the years : Fisher F44, F5, F19, Teknetics 8000, G2+, Nokta Fors...

    issues ground balancing my Nox 600

    Hi. I just got an Equinox 600 and I'm having issues ground balancing it. Never had an issue with any detector I have ever had (all non Minelab). I've read the online manual from Minelab, read Andy Sabisch book, saw an online tutorial on youtube and it seems pretty straight forward but wherever I...

    G2+ three hours at the beach

    I finally got some time to detect. It's been months ! I got to this beach early before opening time and got a delicate .925 bracelet. The clasp has too much gap when closed and that's exactly why it was lost. I was hoping for gold but it wasn't meant to be. Apart from that, the usual small...

    Last time out in 2020

    Winter has finally set in and in 24 hours, the temps dropped from freezing point to way below zero (-10 Celsius or 14F) with a sprinkling of snow. Fortunately I got a few hours of detecting yesterday and found some silver yet again. My first target was a 1940 silver quarter ! Not a bad start. My...

    Fors CoRe silver foursome

    Got back to my usual rusty bottle cap infested forest for a few hours and found four silver dimes. After my third silver dime, I had found more silver than copper (a first for me) but then the pennies started popping up. The last silver dime I found was the 1951 rosie (my first silver rosie). It...
