Well I was finally able to get out for a quick hunt with the new Equinox. I wish I could have stayed longer but due to other commitments I was only able to get in about 2 hours. I set up in park 2, 5 tones, rec speed 7, iron bias 3, sens 23. This thing really couldn't be any easier to set up, that was one thing I was a little worried about, when it comes to technology I'm a bit slow...
The spot I hunted I have found lots of good stuff at in the past but good readable targets have become scarce. This spot is one of the few "dig it all" spots I have just due to past finds, 14k ring, 3 .925 rings, many old buttons including an old scoville militia button, many other sterlings and a few silver coins. The last 5 or 6 times Iv'e hunted here I am averaging approx 2 coins per hour and it's been a lot longer than that since Iv'e pulled anything I would consider a keeper out of here. I know it's way too early to make any assumptions after only a couple hours but today I pulled up 18 coins in 2 hours, only 2 were shallow, the rest were all 5-7 in. deep. This thing is like my X-Terra on steroids, CRAZY fast! I feel that my time with the X-Terra has set me up to easily learn this machine and it's the most confident I have been in a machine so far after 2 hours in hand. Well I didn't get my coil over any keepers today other than clad but I did find one very interesting piece of junk, It looks like a bushing of some sort with an inner and outer ring. The Equinox sounded off on both of them, I couldn't believe it. After pulling it from the hole covered in dirt I went looking for the second target I was hearing and got discouraged when it wasn't there. After brushing the dirt away I noticed the two rings with a rubber bushing between them, Pretty impressive IMO, I know it's just junk but it gave me some idea of what this thing can do that my X-Terra can't. I really can't wait to get the water proof headphones and dunk this thing. 
Until next time Happy Hunting everyone!
P.S I did find one silver 63 Rosie today...... In my change at Dunkin Donuts.
I'll take it!
