    This was a back ordered part that was not in my last pic of my modded 800. This ought to correct the well know broken plastic Equinox arm cuff.

    15X12 coil-this dog can hunt...

    I spent a little time on a salt beach today with the 15X12 inch coil running Beach 1, sensitivity on 23, GB was initially on 9 and set to tracking. I dug a few coins and then hit a "5" and thought it would be another tiny piece of aluminum or foil. I took out about half a scoop of sand and...

    1945 War nickel...

    I dug my first Equinox war nickel yesterday. I was in Park 1 and it rang up 19-20, was about 9 1/2 inches deep with a 3 1/2 nail in the hole. This is my 5 war nickel for the year, the other 4 were dug with a 3030. They rang up in the 12-42 area on the 3030. I thought it might be another...

    I am now ready to call the Equinox 800 the real deal...

    Ok, I am ready to call the Equinox 800 the real deal. Yep, it is a keeper for sure. This my 4th silver in about 8 hunts with the Equinox. Each hunt has only been 1 to 2 hours so I don't have a lot of time on this machine. I was running Park 1 with sensitivity on 22, reactivity up to 4 from my...

    I have a great friend who gave me an early retirement (about 8 months early) present of an Equinox 800! I received it Friday evening and only got to put it together Saturday and took it out for a maiden voyage this afternoon for about an hour. I used Park 1 and went to a spot that is very...

    Native American jewelry...

    I dug this Native American silver ring a few couple weeks ago and had it repaired. It has two arrows, a cloud with rain, the sun with sun rays, a deer and an Unkena, the horned rattlesnake or horned serpent. This was found with permission on private property but very close to an area with...

    Class ring returned...

    Today I got to return the class ring I dug a couple weeks ago, to it's owner, Sharon. The story behind the ring is pretty emotional. Sharon's daughter was wearing it while on a church hayride in 1990 and lost it in a 20 acre field. My co-worker told me that his church youth group has be out...

    Another 3030 gold ring...

    This was lost in 1998 and the owner passed away in 2000. Her parents are still here and will be getting it back very soon. This one hit at 12-06 and was only about 4 inches deep. All I knew was that it was lost in a 20 acre field on a hayride in 1998. I got lucky on finding it.

    I have been waiting all week for this...

    Here is what I have been waiting on since last weekend when I dug two half dollars in the same hole, getting to hand them back to little Jonny who lost them as a kid.(he is now 65) He said that his Grandpa gave him a dollar for digging potatoes. He couldn't remember exactly what year or how old...

    And now for “The Rest of the Story”...

    If you read my post on 3/24/2018 entitled “Double big silver in the SAME hole…”, well here is “The Rest of the Story”! The original “lost quarter” story had been changed over the years as suspected. My co-worker called his uncle and ask him if he had ever lost anything between the house and the...

    Double big silver in the SAME hole...

    This was another first for me today. Not just two silvers in the same hole but two BIG SILVERS in the same hole was a first for me. 1920 Walker and 1954D Franklin. And a big piece of iron to boot.

    Yesterday's "first" for me with the 3030...

    It has probably happened in the past on several occasions but yesterday I noticed it! "It" being getting the coil over 3 targets at the same time and the detector IDing each one. I got a clad cent/iron tones and looked at the screen and sure enough as has happened so many times before, I had a...

    It has been a while since I had 6 silver day. (1936D Merc, 1942D Merc, 1951D Rosie, 1961D Rosie, 1964D Washington and no date SLQ) The no date SLQ turns out to not have stars under the Eagle and has a S mint making it a 1917S.

    Halftone dug...

    I dug this halftone last evening (Nov 10). I took a picture and then used the "negative" effect on it to form a "positive" image. It looks as though she is holding a milk bottle. The image looks familiar but I still cannot identify her. Oh well, it is a pretty cool relic find. Thanks for...

    A quote from XP "DEUS: Product information and NEWS" "All coils will be supplied with a lithium battery with a higher capacity. The new battery is integrated into the lower stem tube and offer a longer battery life, which is especially useful when searching remote area’s with no available...

    One of my greatest finds in 47 years of detecting. (long story)

    Or at least to me it is. It all started Sunday morning May 22, 2016. As I prepare to go on vacation I was waiting as long as possible to mow my 1 ½ acre yard. I usually wear ear plugs and headphones when I mow but when I reached for the earplugs they were dirty so I thought that I would just...

    I dug a Halftone today...

    A Halftone is a basically a picture for typesetting for printing. They would take a tintype or a photograph and transfer the image to a halftone. The halftone was nailed to a wooden block and would be set along with the letters, rolled with ink and then pressed onto the paper to form and...
