    Minelab Equinox 800: Cave Rescue, Cow Bells and Yankee Bullets

    This was a very interesting day to say the least. I started out trekking to the mountains and offering a little assistance in a cave rescue. Then, I decided to take a drive to a Civil War site to do a little metal detecting with the Minelab Equinox 800. Tag along with me as we find a few...

    The Equinox 800 loves the old copper.

    I went arrowhead hunting today for about an hour and then decided to get the old Equinox 800 out and swing it a few times in between the corn rows. Well, I only got one good signal and it turned out to be an 1820 Large Cent. The "Button Field" has given up yet another treasure.

    Minelab Equinox 800: Still finding treasures in the button field.

    I took a very short metal detecting trip last Sunday and thought I found a "thick" flat button. Well, after getting back from another short trip today, I decided to use the Andre pencils and a tooth pick to clean it up a little. Well, it wasn't a flat button after all it was a two piece button...

    Minelab Equinox 800: Metal Detecting for Bullets on a Local Battlefield

    This area has been hunted by many great detectorist over the years and the finds are getting scarce, but the ground still holds a few reminders of the fierce battle. The Minelab Equinox 800 seems to have a way to tickle the ground just enough to make the bullets give away their hiding places.

    Minelab Equinox 800: Digging Up Memories

    I got a message that said that my post was deleted because it wouldn't play. I thought I'd try it again to try to figure out what the problem was.

    Metal Detecting a Forgotten Site Yields Evidence of the Occupation

    I found this site over 18 years ago and only hunted it for about 30 minutes. That was long enough to find a Confederate Script "I" button and a few other finds; enough to get me to return. This "second trip" didn't turn up too much, but I did make a good find or two. The Minelab Equinox 800 is...

    More silver from the button field

    This was the last trip I made to the "button field. The Equinox is still my "go to" detector; it always gets the job done.

    Equinox 800: 11" Coil vs 6"Coil

    This is another video I made in the Button Field. After hitting the field hard with the 11" coil, I decided to switch to the 6" coil to see if I had missed anything. Well, as it turned out, I did. I didn't find much, but I did save a little local history. I hope you enjoy the video...

    Return to the Button Field - Another good day!

    I had another good day in the button field with the Minelab Equinox 800 using the 11" coil. With the new Iron Bias (F2) set at 4, I didn't dig any nails or small iron targets, etc. I even found a good arrowhead in the process. I only hunted about 4 hours and I think this was my 7th trip so I...

    XP Deus Can Really Sniff Out the Buttons

    This makes my 5th trip to what I've come to call the Button Field. I've been taking time about detecting with the XP Deus and one of my other detectors. Today I was using the XP Deus with the 9" High Frequency coil and was using the Pitch Program. This combination is killer for finding buttons...

    Find of a Lifetime while hunting with the XP Deus

    I have felt a little guilty since a few other "new" detectors have arrived on the scene as I had neglected my XP while I was learning one of them. Well, I got back out today with the XP and I was not disappointed. This detector is so versatile as there are so many ways to set it up and so many...

    The ground was coughing up buttons
