Glad to hear the video was useful! Thanks for watching!

Nice work! They’re very hard to find!

@@coilsandcoinsdetecting well I think it's one, I made a short of it on my channel if you want to see it

Interesting idea. You could use a small coil (Eg 6”) on an Equinox detector. You would need to make sure that you reduce the sensitivity way down so that other metal objects in the vicinity didn’t interfere with it, and make sure the table did t have any metal frame/legs etc. You could then discriminate out the target ID for the clad coin, and look for the target ID of the silver coin (which would be much higher). It would be best to spend the coins out as much as possible so the clad coins weren’t masking out the silver coin. Good luck with it!

@@coilsandcoinsdetecting Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure I’m that committed to spending $1xxx to find a few $5 coins but I have about $15,000 in quarters every month and I can’t seem to find an efficient way to pull out the silver coins mixed in. If you think of any other ideas let me know!! ;)

I’m happy to hear that it’s been helpful! Good luck!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching the video! Good luck and happy hunting!

It’s a powerful machine, that’s for sure. I’ve actually settled on running at sensitivity of around 18 and recovery speed around 3-4 for most hunts, as setting the sensitivity any higher makes for more confused signals. Hearing all of those nice $1 and $2 signals without being able to dig them would have been torture - what about using a coin popper - would that be allowed - you know the knife shaped tool with a hook on the end so you can hook the coin and pull it up to the surface without digging? Only useful if the coin is within 2-3 inches of the surface though…

Awesome machine! Good luck with it, and happy hunting!

That’s the hardest part. So many people detecting, so many people doing the wrong thing - makes it tough for those of us trying to enjoy our hobby while being respectful and ethical. Most obvious places have been detected already, but that doesn’t mean they’ve found everything. Also need to think outside the box a little bit c- ask friends and relatives if you can detect their years, or ask if they know of anyone with old properties etc.

No worries mate! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I always enjoy finding old silver, and the completely worn coin may have been a good luck coin, or a “worry” coin, constantly being rubbed between the fingers.

Old maps, or aerial photos if you can find them online. If you go to an old town, always worthwhile chatting with the locals to find out about the towns history.

Yes, I’ve heard similar stories. I’ve also heard that some people would rub a “favourite” silver coin for luck, and eventually they’d end up worn smooth. I’d love to know that coin’s history!

Thanks Tony! Always love to find silver!

Thanks! Old silver is always the best kind to find!

Cheers Gav! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

I’ll take it!

Thanks mate! Always happy to find old silver!

Sounds perfect to me!

Yep - it sounded horrible alright, but was a nice surprise!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

They sure do! They have so much more character than today’s coins.

Cheers mate!

Yes, it’s definitely harder with multiple targets all located closely together, but it can be done. If the target density is high, you’ll likely need a smaller coil to make this work.

Thanks, I never thought of that. Still have the smaller coil in the box.

Many pinpointers have a button that allows you to reduce the sensitivity. This is more a ground balance as it works by holding the pinpointer against the ground and pressing the button once to calibrate for the mineralisation in the soil, allowing the metal target to be more precisely located.

Thanks mate! Was a surprise that’s for sure!

Interesting! I’ll have to research that further!

Anything predecimal is generally considered old I think, at least for me. I’d love to come to the UK some day to find some truly old relics and coins though!

I have the equinox 900 ...i used it today in old park but i just got modern coins...so the old coins are deeper or what should i do ???

@@coilsandcoinsdetecting we would love to have you brother !

Agree!

It’s still a very good machine I reckon, and my first ever “serious” detector!

Yep - all day, every day! 😂

Cant remember the name but you can get them at minersden for around $35-$38. I have one. They are great and not as bulky as the red handled tyger digger.

I’ve always found it very easy to use, reliable, and sensitive enough for my conditions. There are several good quality pinpointers on the market - each with their own pros and cons. Happy hunting!
