How do you think the EQUINOX will do on deep silver and gold rings at the salt beech?
No only Beech for Gold rings, Dry land coin shooting for silver...You asked about the beach? Not as good on silver, but you are after gold.

smells fishy! I'm not hating either I'm gonna buy one... I remember some one posting a post about a new detector release saying it found flour gold.....I want call any names but they know who they are ///
I cant find the video?That's a bit misleading as the detector did not find the flour gold nor did his post suggest that, but his video attached to the post did. What the detector did indicate, in the way it was used, was where heavy elements had collected suggesting there could be flour gold that collected there also.
IMO, the video title was very misleading...but not the posts or if you watched the rest of the video as he explained how by severely misbalancing the detector. I thought it was actually pretty informative and very creative, and it worked assuming you believe the "proof" that was posted.
As for the EQ finding 1, 5, 20 or 4,000 more rings....well, grain of salt.
I cant find the video?

5-40kHz is a pretty wide band. I think the Etrac goes down to 1.5kHz which from what I understand is what helps it hit that deep silver.
But I'm no expert , this is just my opinion.
The 1.5kHz low frequency is not the sole reason, but it's definitely a factor that helps the Etrac and CTX over what is expected from Equinox performance. It's already been stated by Minelab that in certain conditions FBS will perform better than MultiIQ. No doubt the lower frequency is just one factor why. They also go up to 100kHz which is a much larger band spectum spread than the Equinox.
Lower frequencies are better for detecting high conductivity targets like silver.
Higher frequencies are better for detecting small and low conductivity targets like gold.
I'd think 1.5kHz to 5kHz would be quite a difference, more so when comparing to a single frequency detector like an AT Gold that operates at a set 18kHz (1.5kHz compared to 18kHz). But less of a difference in detectors that operate at 60kHz than another that runs 80kHz, even though the higher frequency gap from 60-80kHz is larger than the lower 1.5 to 5kHz.
I'm no expert either, but there is a science behind it. Theory vs reality are two different things though and newer/faster processing and firmware are making a huge difference now than in the past.

And just how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop ?
Just splitting theoretical hairs to pass the time
