Relics
The Equinox 900 found some neat relics at a Civil War Battle site. Battle of Boones Mill. I think the buttons are shirt buttons. 69 cal. round ball. Of course the Indian head penny isn’t period but I’ll take it!

We sometimes find later coins at historical sites, I always wondered if it was hunters, hikers, etc??
Equinox 900
I am so impressed with the Equinox 900! I have found 24 coins this week, 3 silvers, in a filed I have hunted before with my old machine. Thanks to Marks YouTube videos I have about got the settings figured out.

That's a great and very formidable machine. You must have found a great site that still has some deep coins in it!! Congrats!!😁
Iron bias
Mark, so I’m trying to lock out everything up to 50 on my equinox 900. I deleted all bars up to 50 but when I go back to detect all of the bars are still there and it still picks up on the junk. When I go back to bias it still shows all bars gone up to 50. What am I doing wrong?

Is your horseshoe off? So no discrimination. Click the horseshoe button and check it again, that toggles on and off all dicrimination.
Silver
Finally found my first silver coin In a park with manticore. A 1952 dime. The next hole was a 1934 wheat Penny. Both were about about 10 feet from were I I found 1800 women’s heel tap couple mouths ago

That's awesome!! How deep were they? How old of a park?
What have I done now...
I bought a package that had everything. Manticore, 8, 9, 11, 15 coils, PF40 pointer, bag, headphones, the works. I now find myself looking at it and overwhelmed. I hope these videos will help me get a good foundation. For starters, I'm most concerned with detecting somewhere I shouldn't and trying to find somewhere I can besides my backyard. I think half a house was used as fill in my backyard 😂

Awesome Jeff, great gear, the best of the best!! Put that M9 coil on and your good for most places. We should chat sometime in a zoom session or phone call to get you up and running and to know where to go, etc.
