I got a new Equinox 800 earlier this year and wanted a new area to hunt. I see a field close to my house that looked promising so called the owner and got the ok. The field was frozen the first trip there and after a dozen pieces of aluminium I was leaving when I decided to dig a couple more signals on the way back to the car. Came across Another aluminium signal but sounded a little different, dug down and out came my first cut silver. A 1/4 of a 1700s 8 real. Nothing but aluminium afterwards so left until in thawed the next weekend. Still learning the machine I dug every signal, about 100 pieces of aluminium and my friend the same. I wasn’t giving up so hit the site again the next day and changed up my settings some. I ended up digging some of my deepest coins in ever dug and my oldest. I couldn’t believe how solid the signals sound on a 1700s copper at over 12 inches. I still kept digging the shallow aluminium to get it out of the way but after only I few times using the machine I could tell the difference between it and a button or coin. Over the next couple months I dug 18 coins from the 1700s and a lot from the 1800s. A 1703s Dutch copper being the oldest. More Spanish silver and early large cents. Listening for the deep signals got me into my first colonial trash pit, which was fun to dig. Don’t think I would have found it with my old detector. My last find there two weeks ago was a 1788 machine mills copper. Can’t wait to the crops are out to get back at it but until then I've been loving the NOx in the water, the most stable detector I've used.
