I thougth I might share my experience with the Equinox 800. A little about me. I started metal detecting with the Fisher original gold bug in 1987 hunting gold nuggets in North Georgia. I read the manual once and started using it. The gold bug was a good gold hunting machine. Several years...

Ok, here are a few items. Other members please add to this list since I probably left out a something and even some major items. Always carefully cover your holes. Carry out all the trash finds. Prepare a “go bag” for all your accessories. I use a medium sized back pack with a grab handle...

I just wanted to encourage all the other noobs out there. You don't have to spend a small fortune to find things. I like a lot of the diggers, and someday I might end up with a fancy all metal one, but for now this one does the trick. It started as a made in USA floral shovel that was just...

Hi there. I have recently bought me a house on a large plot in Germany. Have a good reason to believe here is something to look for since the house was a guesthouse and a pub for almost 100 years until about 35 years ago. I am new in metal detecting, have never tried it before and know nothing...

HELP! Tried this in the Bounty Hunter community group but it's not very active so reposting here. I am a new user of the Land Ranger Pro. I guess I'm going through the growing pains of a beginner but thought it would be nice to get some tips and tricks from the veterans. Before getting...

First off, I'm from the Binghamton NY area and would like to start detecting. It was my 11 year old daughters idea, and after watching countless videos with her, I am fascinated. We are an outdoors type family and spend a great deal of time fishing, camping, hiking, etc, so it seems like another...

Hi! I'm new to metal detecting and I was wondering if anyone could suggest locations near either Apex, Cary or Raleigh, NC that I could visit to start enjoying my new hobby. Maybe even Chapel Hill.
