I thought I might share my experience with the Equinox 800. A little about me. I started metal detecting with the Fisher original gold bug in 1987 hunting gold nuggets in North Georgia. I read the manual once and started using it. The gold bug was a good gold hunting machine. Several years...

I came from three years of hunting with the AT Pro and many hours on other mid-ranged price detectors. I now have about 30 hours on the Equinox 800 and on any given day after a hunt I am about ready to sell the 800 and buy another AT Pro. But I find myself out there 2-3 days later hunting with...

Hello fellow people of the internet :hello: I have always found the hobby of fun and interesting. When I was a kid I would literally just dig around my yard (with out a detector) and see if I could find things, amazingly enough I had found two bits of jewelry. Lord knows what I did with them...

Hi Everyone :), I just started MD as a hobby. I've been reading a lot on the topic and have decided to invest in my first detector. I'm primarily interested in relic hunting and heard a lot about the Fisher 1266x. I know its an older model, but would anyone still recommend a used 1266x in 2017...

Hey all I am new here I just opened my new detectors today. I bought 3 instead of one expensive one so me and friends can go in groups and see who can find the most. I got a Bounty Hunter Platinum, a White's Treasure Master and a Fischer Gold Bug 2. I cant wait to hit the path and start finding...

My family and I are novice treasure hunters but we would like to learn as much as possible. We have purchased a decent detector (not a toy, but not a $2000 machine either) and we are looking for additional tools. We would like a GPS unit to help mark places we have searched, see where we left...

Hello All. I have been detecting only for a few months. Looking for places that allow hunting. More to hone my skills than find riches lol. Anyone have any suggestions?

Picking up a Deus WS5 tomorrow and will be going out to my local secret spot on Friday/Sat with it. This spot is not very trashy, and has yielded many CW mini-balls, 3 ringers and even a plate using my older White's detectors. In truth most of the places I go are pretty clean, and I was...

Hello folks, I've had a Bounty Hunter Discovery 2200 laying around for about a year in my closet and it's time to bring it out and try some hunting. I haven't had much time and wasn't really interested but now I decided it's time. I tried it out in my backyard and there are way too many false...

I was finally able to get out this morning with the new to me Ace 350. Being the total noob, I selected one of the area sand volley ball courts where I knew I wouldn't have to do any plug cutting. Due to the heat and humidity at 09:00 hrs. I only lasted about 45 minutes as it's getting HOT here...

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post; but I guess I'll find out. I have the option of getting a Bounty Hunter 1100 or a Garret 250 & I was considering the more pricey one from Garret; but even the most expensive from Bounty Hunter was less dollars. I'm new and I have no idea what...

Hello everyone! After long research and debating with myself, I finally purchased my first detector, a Garrett ACE 250, along with a Garrett Pro-Pointer AT. I was lookiing for something not too advanced as I am presently entering metal detecting and not just admiring those who do. I found a...

New here and I've been MD'ing for about two years myself, but have never ever met another person who detects or gotten properly trained. I kinda just run with it and taught myself. I'm looking for experienced people in the OC/LA area who are willing to meet up at one of the beaches or parks...
