So this is the result of my first real day of metal detecting with my equinox 600. I'm not sure whether to be happy or disappointed. I hit a 1840s farm and farm house. The best part is that it's a couple hundred yards down the street I live in the suburbs so its awesome to have something like that nearby when I don't have much time to detect or just want to work on learning my machine. I have an equinox 600, I've hit the beach with it a few times, and I've hit my backyard with it so not a tremendous amount of time with it yet. I'm kind of disappointed I didn't find anything older than 1936. I dug every repeatable signal in the area of the farmhouse as my plugs were going back in very nicely (no way I would leave a property a mess). I did find an intact toy car which was a surprising hit. I'm not sure what the curled piece of metal with the loop is, I could barely see it so obviously I didn't know what I was digging, I'm keeping it because it took about 25 minutes to dig it out from underneath a huge root of a 100 year old tree. The lady who owns the house was on the front porch smiling and watching, she was very kind and told me a lot of the history of the house. She was not surprised I didn't find anything from the original owner. She said the original owners were very poor and her father had purchased the farm and farmhouse in the 1920s at what was essentially a foreclosure auction.
