Welcome to my new thread. i hope to fill this with lots of delicious pics and stories of my hunts with the Equinox 800. Below are the results after a very hard, frustrating and enlightening day. :rolleyes: Enjoy :D

All good targets came in approx one and a half hours, after a full day of not ground balancing as recommended in the manual and quick start guide :rolleyes: The targets were all very deep, the pinpointer did not register any of them until i had dug down several inches :eek: I had searched this area previously with the 505 and the targets were obviously too small and deep for it to pick them up. + 1 for the Equinox. :Y:

So the water hole finds were limited and the dollar coin was very shallow/surface.

The play area produced nothing to show :( So i'll put in a pick of another purchase i made yesterday. $80 second hand from this forum, thanks peter. :Y:

You MUST always ground balance contrary to what the manual might suggest :8

I am extremely happy with my first hunt with the Equinox :cool:
 
Thanks Heatho,Rockhound,GDA,Ktmman and Goldpick. It was a great start with the EQ, looks like it's fast becoming a thrippy killer as i went back for 2 hrs last night just to try a couple of things.
 
I will go over all sites wishfull :Y: they are never done anyway as variables continuously change ;) I'm happy with the case, looks like they are $250-$275 on ebay and in store new :D I have to stop spending now, i've spent nearly 3k on gear in the last month ha ha 8.(

Well done SS. Looks like you will have to go back over all your patches again. Looking forward to seeing what you dig up.
Good pick up on the aluminium case.
 
Here are the ones from 2 hrs last night.
