Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.

@BeepingMad

Жыл бұрын

Hi Tom the equinox is the better out of the two.if you are detecting wet sands and pebbles you must try to get a good ground balance. The rocks are full of minerals that can cause interference. Next you could have your sensitivity too high try about 22ish use 5 tones only and on the pebbles try park 1 and so on. Put a very little threshold noise in the background so you can hear the faint whispers and this will help you find thin gold chains, it will also help tell the difference between bottle tops and pound coins. You can even use park one on the wet sand. One more thing drag your spade behind you so you can see where you have been and it also keeps the spade out of the way from the coil. Get decent headphones, I use waterproof ones on land, they are really loud. Hope this helps...

Hi I would recommend the minelab equinox 600 because it does it all. Wet sand and pebbles. If your budget is tight I would recommend the Garrett ace 400. The ace 400 in my opinion is the best coin shooting detector on the pebbles. It will work on the wet sand but in limited form. If you can the equinox 600. I had a simplex once and found it to be not any good for coin shooting. My beaches are dig by numbers because if the amount of pull rings and bottle tops. You have to be able to I'd a target before you dig, even more so as we are turning into a cashless society. Hope this helps.
