Truck driver Sean Sandercock (38) found a rare gold coin with a metal detector Minelab Equinox 800. He discovered a sovereign from the reign of Henry VIII. Its value is estimated by experts at £2,000. For the finder, it is said to be the "holy grail" in hyperbole.
As it happens, I planned a search with my friends for the weekend. Me, David and Brába went in a squad. We had the spot already from last time. The old quite inconspicuous path had already let something go the week before. Two Saxon grosz, 3kr. Ferdinand III and 1/24 thaler. David then 6kr.1849,10kr. FJI, a Polish poltorak and 2 Ag. So the place is quite nutritious.
The event took place in the camp in Chabařovice, where we have a searchers' meeting every year in May. With a small exception of the polygon location. Since the pond is drained every year, I could prepare the polygon at the bottom of the pond. The objectives were the same as at previous "Test Drive an Equinox" events, for the opportunity to compare in different soil conditions.
I am returning from a morning search and it is still a good quarter of an hour walk to my car.I'm bored and so I call Mara to save myself a long moment, to find out what's new and, most importantly, how it looks with the long-awaited new this autumn additional 15" inch probe on "NOXE".
As you may have noticed, the "Test Drive an Equinox" event has been going on every weekend for a few weeks now. For those who didn't make it to the event, or it was too far for them, we would like to bring you a short report and also a video from the last event on Proboštské jezere. At the end of the article you will find recommended settings from both LP and Derek Mc Lennan.
As has become a tradition, this year will be no exception. Again you will find some articles about searching by the sea. This year it will be a bit more extensive than previous years thanks to new equipment. I have also divided the article into several parts. Anyway, you have a lot to look forward to, because there will be more than enough information, so read carefully
The third part of the article introduces and explains the new technologies used in the MINELAB EQUINOX detector. Also here you will find the manual in CZ for download.
