Hello all,
I've been a low level MD hobbyist for a few years - taking my kids out 'treasure hunting,' and such. I live in a good area now, and am thinking of getting more serious. Have enough to afford an Equinox 800, and am wondering how big of an upgrade over my 5 year old White's Coinmaster GT it would be. I know I have a lot to learn, and I know that digging trash is a part of metal detecting, and that's fine...but I feel like I'm digging way too much trash with the GT and not hardly enough interesting things (coins, etc). Yes, I know I have a lot to learn.
Will an Equinox 800 actually discriminate better? How much of a difference will an upgraded machine make? I'd like to find coins, but also the occasional gold nugget, if possible. Like I said, I don't mind digging up trash, but I'd like to tip the scales in my favor a little more.
