I believe my best hunt yet with my Equinox...

[fwcrawford]

I went to a local park a few days ago hoping to find another hotel tag like I found last week, but sure wasn't expecting these finds.
I found 3 civil war era union buttons, 3 wheat pennies dated 1916,1917, and 1920, and two IH cents dated 1859 and 1865.
The union buttons are a New York button, a Calvary button, and an Artillery button.
I also found two civilian buttons.. one flat button and one two piece button.
I did find a wreath part of the tongue and wreath buckle and a pewter I button a few years ago at this park also..
may have more history than what I first thought after these finds.
All items found in a small area due to high grass.
I see the Equinox is also good at finding relics also.
Thanks for looking!!

As best as I can recall, it read about 16 on my 800. I remember it was a low reading, but after finding a couple buttons, I figured I better dig it.. glad I did
The 1865 read about 20 when I got over it.

Great finds What pattern were you hunting in? Are you still using 50 tones?

 

[fwcrawford]

I was using park 1, F2 at 0, sens at 23, and 50 tones.
And moving slow..... all of these finds had been missed many times by myself and others.
All found in an area about 8 x 20 feet.
Earthlypotluck gave me some me tips and pointers that he learned from using his Equinox.
Slow speed and slow recovery speed is key to deeper finds.

 

[JimmyCT]

Thanks Felix! Those settings along with a recovery speed of 4 have been really helping me find deeper finds. Keep up the great finds!!
