Hello, I do actually have a video using this and I hate to tell you, but it was a horrible experience. Hopefully they fixed the flaws I found but this in actual real world use turned out to be the worst metal detector I've ever used. I have a LOT of experience metal detecting and have used more detectors than I can count, so I have a lot of background and experience to draw on. You would be much better served with a better detector.

@@FloydNashFixItDad Hello, thank you for your response and your valuable advice, I will change it for another one of better quality very soon to have more pleasure and probably less false sound. Thank you again and we look forward to communicating with you again. Sincerely Bernard

I've never had issues with the Equinox and water. Maybe mine is just too caked with mud to care.

I think they may have been caught a bit off guard with the whole multi frequency thing so they are having to play catch up. Garret has made some excellent detectors over the years so it will be interesting to see what they come up with to play with the new big boys on the playground. It's certainly an exciting time to be into metal detecting.

Thanks! That thing must have been dropped new. I was shocked when I flipped that out.

Thanks Deej! It went better than I expected.

This detector model only has a mode button to select the hunting mode, and sensitivity. The modes should be all metal and discriminate. All metal picks up everything. Discriminate will cancel out signals for "junk" like nails and pull tabs. I no longer have this metal detector so I don't remember anything beyond that.

Hey Deej! It could very well be Dodge Brothers. I don't know if they put the initials on parts without the logo they used to use with it or not. All I've ever seen is one with the DB in the middle of the logo they used to have, but it makes sense. I'm just glad I was able to get out and get the fresh air and find anything at all. It's been too long.

I believe it. I've found some pretty big pocket spills before too, usually in parks or ball fields also.

Oh that makes perfect sense now. I knew they looked familiar, just haven't see those in years

I realized that after looking closer. I've found some bucket list items in the strangest of places lately. I just yesterday actually found a message from you from about 3 weeks ago I missed somehow. I got a call that the display said probably spam, so I let it go then got a voicemail indicator. I checked and it was just a few seconds as they hung up, but I discovered the message you left too. Don't know how I missed that one. Huge difference in the weather in those 3 weeks though isn't it? Wow is it getting bad fast! Hope you're doing well and would love to get together again some time.

Oh, interesting. I can picture that. It's the top for a bottle of alcohol, like a bartender might use for mixed drinks, right? I haven't been to a bar in years and was usually just there with college friends back in the day and did a lot of dancing, and didn't drink any mixed drinks really.

​@@RelicManFloyd the only reason I know of the jigger is because I built a tiki bar in my house. I never use it, but I always wanted one...lol

The dingler on the bell. It wouldn't work when I first found it, like most don't, so I took it home to clean it and it started ringing again. Somewhere along the way, I need to update that video. My youngest is now a senior in high school.

Thanks! It was definitely interesting. It's hard to believe these days you can still even find places that haven't been detected before so that makes me really happy.

Thanks so much! I've found other gold rings before but not this big. I'm not really a jewelry hunter. I like relics more than anything, but I'll definitely take a nice big gold anything any day! I do agree with the personal part. One of my favorite things I've ever found is a tiny hand crafted child's silver ring. Just knowing the love and thought that went into it, I'll never be able to part with it.

Thanks! I was sure surprised when I found it.

HA HA! Thanks! I grew up loving electronics and engineering and have actually mentored kids in robotics over the years so I get off track on that stuff sometimes.

I see the resemblance but not so sure. If so, it's a really old one, which would indeed be a historic piece for sobriety recognition, which would be really amazing!

Oh definitely. Another site I went to most definitely made up for it. Stay tuned for that video

Two weeks seems a bit quick. Unless it's a really low end machine compared to what you have now, you can't learn a new detector in 2 weeks. I have a friend in our detecting group that has an Equinox 800 and pretty much stopped using it after getting the Xterra Pro. That's why I'm so curious about it. Of course, I really want to try the Legend though. Definitely agree we need to colab. Before we know it the year will be over for detecting.

I just got another cheap $22 ish one as a backup also. Not great either. With pinpointers, you definitely get what you pay for, but it'll do as a backup.
