consolidated useful Equinox info?

I read the consolidated Tarsacci thread...I am very interested if anyone has done the same for the Equinox on this site. An 800 is on the way to me right now...trying to read everything over the weekend.

Thanks.

Rod

Rodman, is it coming with the update? Can't wait to hear how the transition will be...going from a Fisher and a Vista to a Minelab. I remember going from a Fisher to a ML Explorer.
I had to go back to the Fisher and then ease my way into the SE....big speed difference.

I think the EQ will be easier to get acquainted with....Let me know how you do, or, we could hit the turf together. The ground is probably frozen...mild winter though...hope I didn't jinx us.

You are welcome Rod.
Others contemplating Equinox May find helpful as well.
Good luck with your new detector.

Asking a well focused question - always a good idea

Getting a well-organized and categorized answer - one of the best things about a good forum.

Thank you!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to you all on this site. First time out, for a bit over an hour with the equinox today. Figured to just go with recommended settings given here, and see what happens. 23 sens was most without constant emi tones, FE2 on 0, no disc, 50 tones, park 1, recovery 2.

first target that sounded really solid all directions except low tone coming from left to right but only in a small portion of the arc.....silver nickel laying on a nail...silver is rusted on one side. nice start

dug some lincolns and wheats...once i had one, practiced swing speeds, pinpointing off the edges, etc to try to get a feel.... seems like slow sweeps are way better at letting the tones ring out cleanly on the coins....so slowed swings way down...would never swing that slow with F75...like ever. so now was focused on any of the high tones sounding good instead of blips, regardless of how much low tones were around them. dug 2 dozen coins, and 3 were vertical dimes...still sounded good. Last good tone was nice, but soft, and plenty of iron coming through, so dug it. flipped the plug. found one, then second nail in it. scanned the hole, still in there...out comes silver washington. gonna like this detector.

An hour on this thing isnt even enough time to figure out what questions to ask yet.

One thing I liked....the ground was wet from recent rains...but the last 4 feet before the lake edge were just sloppy sopping wet. dig the plug, and water is coming in...the detector handled the extreme wetness without any issue and still accurate ID..i knew if it was a cent or a dime before digging.

Thanks Paul, for some good conversations on detector choice, etc. I appreciate your time.
