All I can say is that I found silver coins here in North Texas in super hard hunted parks, where veteran detectorist friends and general hunters have not hunted in a very long time. The Equinox has a speciality to it, for the experienced metal detecting hobbies. Separation within serious trash, beating out some danged good high end detector units.
You have to be here in my local parks to appreciate finding not only one surprise, missed silver(or simple clad mixed with trash which was missed before), but THREE good silvers in a week, 2 of them in 2 consecutive days!
I dont give myself enough credit maybe. I ran a V3i religiously since 2010, tweaked the recovery delay, called recovery speed on the NOX, and became a very proficient FBS user, finding much more deep silver in a short time with FBS after the V3i. Then, the Equinox came along, popping 2 silvers within seemingly barren, over hunted trashy spots, IN TWO DAYS, three silvers in a big-week, a
Barber dime where I and other very good hunt buddies with my Etracs and Explorers, had good success, yet all mostly moved on and generally given up there for a lengthy period of months.
I agree, semi green to moderate new detectorist starting out would miss them, so the Nox ain't magic, yet the NOX was startling after the success I had in that short period. Luck in a day is one thing. Two days, another. Three silvers in a long week in pounded local parks? That's unreal IMO. Texas friends reading this know the spots I had these finds.
