The low tides at the moment just don't suit me,so today I thought I would do a little high tide hunting as I'm still trying to familiarise myself with my new Equinox.
In between a few showers, I scored a junk ring and a few coins and then just when I wasn't expecting it, boom .. right on the top of the slope about 6 inches deep,2 scoops down .. 9ct gold ring, weight 1.6 grams.
By the look of it I thought it was high carat, nice deep yellow, but it's stamped 375.
I think I like this new Minelab!

Congrats on another nice one. Question, have you found one with a broken shank yet?

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Another fine and relatively deepish ring there! You will have that New rig paid for by the end of the month at this rate!

Congrats on yet another gold! I know it's early but do you believe that the Nox "sees" the gold easier than other detectors you have used?

New machine is working out nicely for Ya.

Congrats on the sweet little ring.

Does hunting with it allow you to hunt longer?

I don't know about longer but it's certainly much easier with the lighter machine.
I find my hunting time is limited to about 3 hours on average,4 tops. before I really start to tire. I believe we are of similar age so you'll know what I mean!
