So NOBODY has EVER filmed the Equinox with a stock coil finding, sweeping and recovering a dime at 11”+ ?? NOBODY? Of ALL the people who have an Equinox and for ALL the time it’s been out…hard to believe. Or is it? Of ALL the forum members here, not ONE can come up with it?
Perhaps I should have “zeroed in” my request to TURF hunters, I am well aware that because of the aeration and lack of mineralization in certain instances that coins can be found deeper at the beach, I know that. Estimating your depth in chest deep water by how deep your scoop is…scientifically inadequate. But that doesn’t count here anyway.
The reality of the situation is this. Coin hunting in “regular average dirt” can be equated to drag racing in a way. In drag racing, the difference in between a 9 second run and an 8.5 second run is HUGE. ENORMOUS. In a similar way, the difference between a 9” dime and an 11” dime is ENORMOUS. Most people will never find a true 11” dime. It’s that hard to do. Finding one in average dirt? With an 11” coil? I want to see it done, LISTEN TO THE RESPONSE and then pick the mind of the operator regarding other things. This is the true reason I want the video.
First you ask for Equinox video proof of anyone detecting, digging and recovering 10 to 14” coins. Next, you scoff at Longbow’s 10” merc photo. Next you are asking for any video proof of an 11” dime but it has to be in turf…………..whatever.
I go detecting almost daily with either an Equinox or a Deus when I’m coin, jewelry or relic hunting. When I am not turf hunting I’m gold prospecting with an Equinox, Deus and a PI. The last thing I want to do is worry about making a video so folks like some of you will believe me when you don’t want to believe me or anyone else has actually dug deep 10”+ coin sized targets with an Equinox in the first place for your own personal reasons.
Having dug many 10”+ coins and Indian Wars era bullets, with an Equinox, I don’t need proof…..
One source for some of you might be Detector Ben’s excellent YouTube videos. Detector Ben is a member of this forum and has been railed against by some of you before. His Nebraska Equinox deep coin finds are usually in the 8 to 10” range so nothing miraculous or satisfying there for you who just have to have your perfect 11”+ dime video. I can tell you from experience that the way the Equinox has responded in the videos for his YouTube channel on 8”+ deep mid to high conductor copper and silver coins are very similar to the responses my Equinox has given me on deeper copper, clad and silver coins. But, you won’t believe that statement so why am I wasting my time writing it?
So if you just want proof keep searching YouTube. Or IDX, start an new topic demanding video proof of the Equinox hitting an 11” dime. If however, you actually want to learn something try some of Ben’s videos.
Personally, I am not going to invest in a GoPro and spend countless hours editing and uploading videos just to prove to you guys that the Unicorn is real. I would rather be detecting.
Also, excellent work completely commandeering the OP’s original post into La La Land.
