Hello there!

[Sandiego1776]

Hello there, I’m new to the community and the metal detecting world. I have always loved history and just recently decided to actually start doing it. I have some family in Mexico and in the nearby beach these have been washing up. They ended up finding 10(just laying around). I decided to purchase the Equinox 800, I will be going in a couple months so I have some time to practice. I live in San Diego,CA so I will be practicing there. What do you guys recommend for finding gold coins in the beach?

In case you haven't seen them yet here are some short but very helpful tutorials on the Equinox series I found online:

(they cover both the 600 and 800)

Recommendations for finding gold coins on the beach? I have never beach hunted but can honestly recommend you get a rabbits foot, a four leaf clover and the long end of a wishbone.

Welcome from So.Cal. Your family has the best advice , you don't need a detector. Like in Mexico , in Diego after a big storm just walk the beach and pickup double eagles. Certain beaches are just littered.....

Welcome from Central MA! Double eagles washing up in the U.S. Is very rare, let alone Mexico... good luck out there!
