Need somebody to do a test with the equinox.

Run your detector over 4silver half-dollars stacked together and tell me what the readings are.

Park 1 -3 to -5
Park 2 -8 to -9

Field 1 14-15
Field 2 No response

Beach 1 broken tone 14
Beach 2 1 and 2

Gold 1 bouncing numbers from - to 20
Gold 2 -4.

I wouldn't have dug the signal based on the VDI or the tones, but, I doubt that I will ever run my coil over half dollars stacked perfectly straight up and down

 

[lse450cc]

The same thing on mine too. ?????

try them in 5 khz. You should get a 39-40. What is happening is the TID is wrapping around to the negative side.

But don't fret, this can be solved in two ways, using 5 khz OR accepting -10 to -5

-10 to -5 is a diggable signal on the Equinox?

In this situation ie a hoard of silver coins.

I dont have mine yet, but this same test I do with the half or even a few quarters on all the detectors in the last few years will either null or give you a trashy signal. I was told it is seeing too much silver density and can not read correctly. Try it with a roll of quarters or even 5 or 6 quarters stacked up and you will be shocked at the readings.

The Equinox doesn’t like silver quarters, halves or most silver rings standing on edge either..

 

[Beyonder]

Just like iron can sound like silver, in a situation like that, silver can sound like iron.

I’m hoping they address this in an update. My E-Trac has no problems with coins or rings standing on edge..

its more the technology in the detector limiting that than software, I doubt it will be fixed. But who knows. I could be wrong, but just my 2 cents.

try the same thing with a CTX see what happens ?

 

[Bryan V]

It’s been awhile since I’ve had my CTX but if I remember correctly it had trouble with big silver if the conductive numbers
were blocked up in the top right corner. Like FE line 1 CO 49-50.. if you opened them up it was fine..
