I Gave The Equinox A Try With New 6-Inch Search Coil

beephead · Dec 31, 2019

I went back over some detected areas and some virgin ground today. I'm just amazed at how many targets that little search coil can find. I found the 1940 Canadian 10 cent silver coin near the WWII pendant. Some kid must have gotten into his dad's stuff and lost it. I found the Rosie after I dug a large aluminum screw cap that was about 6-inches away. I found over a dozen wheat pennies, so that kept me motivated to keep digging.

Thanks! This is an older Canadian 'silver' dime and it read just like a Mercury dime does.

Congrats on the 6” coil - if anyone can put it to good use it’s you,,,,, as seen in your follow-up results! Nice hunting Beep!

Nice finds beep, I love that WW2 pendent.

Ive got the 6" coil for the Nox and I was not all that impressed, Maybe I should give it another go around.

Great job! If you don't mind what was the depth of the deepest dime or penny dug?

Probably the deepest one, a Wheat penny, was around 7-inches or so. On the silver dime buried at 6-inches in my test garden with some unintentional iron contamination around it, most detectors I have struggle hitting it even with larger search coils. This little 6-inch search coil hits it cleanly with over 2-inches of ground clearance. Also, it handles EMI great.

Nice finds with the 6" coil. I ditched it because it really loved bent iron and rusty nails even with the iron bias turned all the way up. I wonder if the new F2 iron bias settings fixed some of that? Hmmmm

A very fine outing Gerald. Congrats on putting a couple of Silvers on the board using that little coil. I enjoy using it in trashy areas as it separates like no other. Trapper

The Nox is deeper for sure. My Mojave ain't going nowhere. All my best finds have been with Tesoro detectors. Besides, it paid for itself 3 times over with just one find, a gold coin pendant. I sure wish they'd make a 7/8-inch 'concentric' search coil for the Nox. I really like the Nox.

Congrats on the silver Beep. I like my 6in. coil as well. I might part with the 15 but as long as I have the 800 I will keep a 6 for it. Good luck Mark
