pondmn 201 Posted May 27 Hit the local park finally after using my test plot. Moved from Park one to Park two quickly. Moved the threshold up four numbers. Quickly learned bottle caps. Gold colored ones hit like zinc pennies. This is an extremely trashy park and hit numerous times. Finally came home with one quarter, two dimes, four pennies and enough caps to start a brewery. Found a program from dirt digger on utube. Plan on setting it up as it gives low tones and low volume to junk and high tones and volume to good stuff. Only hunted an hour and a half. Passed over hundreds of junk targets..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pondmn 201 Posted May 27 I agree I used a DFX for years and it was a slam dunk. The problem was it became to heavy and I needed something lighter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlakMagnet 139 Posted May 27 The Equinox has a learning curve for sure. It has its own tonal language and the multi-frequency setting continues to impress. It is by far the most versatile detector I have ever used. I look forward to hearing your impressions pondman. Don't be worried about turning up the sensitivity, the machine will tell you when you've gone too far. Have fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
