[QUOTE="Gold1hunter, post: 641038, member: 14696"] Zero discrimination or control on the Z it finds everything (one reason it's useless in parks and beaches) smallest Nugget so far is 0.06g it's one thing hearing things like that but another altogether finding it in the pile of diggings! Dig every target and you'll get all the gold that's there (9oz last year) It also has wifi only (no Bluetooth) signal breaks all the time (very annoying) have converted mine to Bluetooth for my Clermont trip next week. Discrimination isn't always a good thing as it'll hide good targets next to the rubbish. I always thought that the equinox 800 would find a $2 coin if it had a nail either side of it whilst using the discrimination. When doubt of my belief set in I tested the theory & guess what? The $2 didn't even register & that was on the surface! So when looking for $1 & $2 coins now I don't use the iron discrimination as I run all the numbers up to 19 on volume 1 and numbers 19-23 volume on high numbers above 23 about half volume. Now it finds everything but the coin numbers are loud, fair to say if I walk over a gold ring (number 13 same as a twist top) I'm not going to dig it but I'm only after $2 & $1 coins 50c coins number 17, 20c No16, 10c No10, none of them will I find, used to but can't be bothered with them.
