I tested the Equinox 800 using a nail and a quarter and nickle. I put a 2 1/2" nail on a board up off the ground then placed a quarter half way down length of the nail, I started at an inch away then kept moving it closer sweeping down the length of the nail ....nothing if any part the coil was over the nail. Sweeping straigth across the nail...good beep, going at an angle didn't always hit good, when it hit the number was usually lower..21 or 23. I tried different programs lower recovery speeds worked better, recovery speed 8 if it hit the number was 17.... Iron bias 0 was the best.
I did the same with a nickle and the nickle hit better, it would read 11 or 12 most of the time. Running down the nail or close to down it the number was 8.
