Hello everyone
Grabbed an equinox a few days ago early Christmas gift for myself.
Today I had time to get out and put it to work. Took it to a heavily hunted park and put it to the test. It didn't disappoint.
Ran it in park 2 with a few tweaks and just hunted. Little did I know that my first old coin was a barber dime 1903 inside a 1913 dime bank.
When I found it I heard a rattle and suspected a coin was in there. I continued to hunt and picked up three wheats a Indian two mercs and a silver cuff bottom.
The machine performs pretty well right out of the box. A little emi issues but not to terrible.
Machine seems to excel in iron soils with trash present. Both mercs were really close to trash and the faster response on the machine helped me hear them.
Overall opinion so far is this is a good machine for the money. I've been watching my brother the past few months do well with his so I added one to the arsenal.
The rest of the finds came from my past two hunts with the ctx. Added 8 more silvers for the year in the past week.
I came upon a few early relics swinging a home site. An old thimble small little bell and what I believe is a late 1700s cuff link octagon.
Maybe the experts here can confirm. I'm off work until the 2nd and will get out a few more times before the season is over. Our weather is in the 50s right now.
Thanks for looking
