New 600 Brings pounded feild site back to life

[Simpsonslammer]

Just got my new 600 in October, still have a lot to learn about but loving it. Went to a field site where a turn of the century school once stood. I've ponded this site every spring and fall for the last 6 yrs with my Safari and the pickings were getting pretty slim. Took the Eqinox out and got a nickel trifecta. A 1902 V, 28 Buffalo, 43P war, 2 older jeffersons, 5 wheats and a play dime. Really impressed how hard it hits on nickels.

Congrats! Good to hear of your success on pounded sites!

Congrats. I'm having a very similar experience with my 600 as well.

I hunt 2 old schoolhouses on my farm and the 600 has always been hot on nickels also. today I ran it with the new update and I think it's even better.

Simpsonslammer,

Hot on nickels seems to be a common theme for the Equinox.

Congrats on your success and continued luck for you.

Machines that are hot on nickels are usually great on gold rings. IMHO!

Congrat's fo you with the funds with the Equinox 600.

Nice nickel trifecta since you have already pounded the site with your Safari. I used a Safari myself (love this machine) until the weight of it gave me tendonitis and had to go with the Nox 600.

Either one of these machines are awesome !!!!

Good luck out there !!

Just curious. Are you able to reasonably disc out pull tabs and still get nickles and small gold? How small? Thanks and good luck.

IMO... I wouldn't disc out near the nickel ranges (11,12,13,14) or you will miss the nicks and some gold.

I've gotten 2 nice gold pieces recently in this range. And I'll dig 10-30 nickels in the 12/13 range in an outing....depending on site.
