Minelab Equinox tips and questions

[hAyyoUinAU]

These look like the same as the Minelab branded ML 80 Bluetooth headphones, as included with the Equinox 800:

Same specs, and even the same hard Shell Case and cables, etc.

These, too:

Would make sense in a way. I don't think Minelab manufacturer headphones as such, I would say they find a company that has something that suits, modify (even if it is just a sticker or logo) and make sure quality check is consistent. Same headphones could come in various branding, but different buyers will get different quality check, depending on what was requested.

Forum member Buckshot2585 found this today with his Equinox 800, after less than 30 minutes with his new machine. 18 carat.

He is a real pro, which is why he doesn't post on forums very much...

The magic number was 17, in Park 1.

I found the $2 coin. Lucky me...

About to unbox the Nox.

Oh...and thanks heaps to Corey from Minersden Brisbane. Once again, he is DA MAN, and looked after me.

Graduated from 5 cents to $1 and $2 today, it loves aluminium tabs

Unfortunately the aluminium tabs fall in the gold band range

Does anyone know for sure if Rodd jewellery is in fact only gold plated, as stated in some places on the internet?

This link on kimbucktwo seems to confirm that it is only plated .......

Looked at that link.
Couldn't understand why they were thinking 9ct was to do with gold.
I have been of the understanding that CARAT is for diamond or gem weight, and KARAT is for gold purity.

If its gold, it would read 9K not 9ct.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for that info.

Gold can be marked either in K or CT or numbers such as 375 (9k) or 750 (18k) etc. European jewellers mostly use K and American jewellers use CT.

I don't think that ring is plated either, look at the "5", it looks all worn and there is no change in metal colour. Anyway a quick SG test will tell you if it's solid gold or not. :Y: 18k yellow gold is around 15.5sg.

 

[Sovereignone]

What about "gold filled"? Saw that years ago on a Longines watch

 

[Smoky bandit]

Geez you blokes are game....better stay on topic....don't say I didn't warn ya..lol . :Y: {)

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll pass the info on to the tight-lipped pro who found it.
