You have been one digging fool lately!!
Very nice results with that Equinox!!!

Hi Jeff,
I mainly run Park1
Always use 50 tones
Nothing notched out hence "all-metal" mode
ferrous volume set at 1
non-ferrous volume set at 25
sensitivity set at minimum 23 or higher (depending on trash content)
iron bias - 0
recovery speed 4
_____________________________________
These above settings have truly "re-opened" my hunting spots. You have to go slow like BBS / FBS slow (maybe a tad faster) however it will pay off. "message" iffy signals. If they start climbing even by only a few digits, you better dig. I have found over a hundred wheat pennies with this method at a "worked out" park. For example, I receive a TID of 20. I center the best I can over the target and start performing small sweeps over the target. (think sovereign wiggle) If that tones starts rising (I would dig a 22 anyway but when that target rises in TID 22,23,24,25 every single one turned out to be a wheat cent. I also came across a TID of 21 and the target tone / TID kept dropping out on me. I pinpointed and got right over the center of that target then performed small sweeps (again think sovereign wiggle) that 21 shot up 21,22,23 and stayed pretty consistent. I knew then I was definitely digging. Out popped a 1903 IH cent from this "worked out" park. I feel (including myself) I was moving too fast even though the Equinox has a high recovery speed. Hunters that own this machine need to slow down and use it like a BBS / FBS machine. THEN they will see the results of this new technology.
park2 or Field2
50 tones
"all-metal" mode
ferrous volume set at 1
non-ferrous volume set at 25
sensitivity set at minimum 23 or higher (depending on trash content)
iron bias - 0
Recovery set at 8 (yes that is
_________________________________________________________
Amazingly, I have gone back to some horrible iron trashy spots and high mineralization areas and was pleasantly surprised. I found many wheat cents and silver dimes utilizing these settings. Even though I am "preaching" above with my other settings, there are times a faster recovery will be beneficial especially if they deal with high mineralization.
Give these settings a try and I would like to hear your thoughts / results - Jim

I also want to point out these finds (at the beginning of my post) have come areas well beaten down by others. Me, I just keep hammering on them hoping more goods cough up. Overall, I am truly impressed with the Equinox's performance and its ability to sniff non-ferrous out of ferrous.
