New Minelab Equinox

I should do that here in my soil.

Tell you what.
You do those tests, I'll do some others. (Play with disc settings )
The only can slaw test I will do is the following.
Take some shears and a can,,and a latest generation IH penny.
Cut the aluminum for size so that Deus reads it as IH penny (unnormalized using 12khz)
Then compare Equinox in Multi freq ,over both the IH and the piece of can slaw I come up with.

Not all headphone jacks used will turn off external speaker when used. Seems stereo plugs don't turn off external speaker.

Mono ones will.

I saw a gent post about this, I experimented with mine today and saw it too, but my stereo phones were bad, but when they were plugged in, external speaker kept working.

Seems the headphone module will accept stereo jack and work correctly.

This is all very encouraging to me- thank you all for posting! I haven't hunted much dirt in the past several years but the Equinox may help me do so when the beaches are sanded in. :yes:
 
The big question I have.... Can you tell a target is silver before digging it, like you can with the Etrac, Safari and Ctx? Why didn’t they use those tones? I’m not sold.
 
The Etrac, Ctx etc doesn't know if it's silver or not either, it's not how it works.

However you can tell with high probability that it might be......could on my Teknetics 8500 from the 1990s. I could clear out a yard of high conductors before the Whites machines ever left the bag. lol. And was digging half dollars on edge 10-12 inches....so these new machines like the Equinox don't impress that much. The new machines have gotten a little better around iron targets that is all.
 
Not all silver coins are high conductors, so you may have left stuff behind for the next guy, but even so, a detector has no idea what the metal is it's reporting on.
I have to say though, I've never seen a coin on edge dug at the depth you say, but i seen many fall back in the hole and appear on edge at depth.
