More goodies with the new Equinox 600

[FliesOnly]

Now that I've gotten in a little practice with the new detector, I went back to one of my favorite spots that has produced a number of coins, including the 1864 Indian Head. On my previous trips (with the old Garret) I had pretty much come up dry...no new coins found. Well, on this trip I found 6 pennies and one quarter...all modern (70s, 80s, and 90s)...but it was nice to know that there were still some coins buried on the property, even though I had been over the area at least 5 or 6 times. Then I came upon these two nice finds. I cannot get a date off of the Buffalo, it's seems to be completely worn off, despite the rest of the coin being in far better shape than the 1913 I found at this location last Fall. Regardless, I was pretty happy. There are still a few areas at this site overall that I really haven't put much effort into detecting, but that's about the change.

Nice job! That detector will bring your old spots back to life

Your Minelab will expose more goodies than your Garrett will.

Good job. It’s fun and amazing how much stuff can be missed. Keep them coming.

The one thing that is common when getting a new detector is you make more finds at old sites you have hunted. I know this is true as it happened when I got the E-Trac. Other than the fact it is a better machine is probably why. Fly you have just begun to see the finds the new unit will find for you. You are soooo doomed!

Nice finds! How deep were your recoveries?

Congrats on the Buff and almost a war nickel.

Both of the nickels were probably 4(ish) inches down. I think the Buffalo might have been on its side. I got a reasonably good tone, hitting right on a 12...dug the hole and then pretty much lost the signal. Searched with my pin-pointer and had no luck. Filled the hole, put back the grass and started to move on. But the initial good tone was still bugging me, so I ran the detector over the spot again and once more got a solid 12. Pulled out the plug and there it was. Always recheck your holes...so to speak.

Thanks for that info!
