It's not much...

Well, I finally had some luck with my new Equinox 600...found my first coins. Nothing to write home about, but I'm happy because I'm starting to learn where certain coins show up on the machine. Oddly, one of the pennies was up around a 26-27, which did seem out of place when compared to the other five (closer to 20-21)...just goes to show, I guess.
Anyway, I'm loving the new detector...well worth the $80 I had to spend.

Great start for sure. More you hunt and listen to your machine, the better the finds will be. Check the dates on the pennies. If one is lets say a 1972, and the others are 1983 and above you can see the difference between copper pennies and Zincolns. Happy Hunting.

And so it begins! Happy hunting

Hi copper content Lincoln’s and thinner silver dimes will almost always ring up 25-26, at they always did on my 800. I always expected a penny, but would be pleasantly surprised when silver would show itself welcome to the addiction…we’ve got t shirts

$80 is a great inexpensive way to metal detect. How'd you get that unit for that price? I've heard that the Equinox 600 is a great machine. Nice finds BTW.

I had some "points" on my C.C., and then the unit went on sale. Between the two, I only had to pay $80. Couldn't pass up the deal.

Congratulations on your first coin finds. Incredible deal on the 600 too!

FYI:

That one coin number isn't odd. Target identification on metal detectors is calibrated to a coin sized object at about 3" depth. Numerous other factors will determine ID. In fact, all nonferrous objects will eventually ID as ferrous, when they reach the detection limit.

yes, a banner find! Getting a nox at that price! Your off to a great start!

Sounds familiar, did the same for the Legend pro pack.

Nice! For $80 bucks you just jumped into the hobby with both feet! Welcome. There's a support thread here somewhere when it gets to addictive hahaha.
