Both my wife and I are looking forward to expanding our skill level at metal detecting as well as education about our past history of both California as well as Nevada.

Mark, I have seen your videos suggesting an upgrade from Nox 800 to Manticore. I'm thinking of making that move and wonder who you think is the best source for a new Manticore. I see different packages online (some with 8" & 15" coils) and recall you mentioning in your video that you considered the more expensive version to be worth it. Which model & package do you recommend? My main target is 19th century relics & coins.

Finally found my first silver coin In a park with manticore. A 1952 dime. The next hole was a 1934 wheat Penny. Both were about about 10 feet from were I I found 1800 women’s heel tap couple mouths ago

The Equinox 900 found some neat relics at a Civil War Battle site. Battle of Boones Mill. I think the buttons are shirt buttons. 69 cal. round ball. Of course the Indian head penny isn’t period but I’ll take it!

I am so impressed with the Equinox 900! I have found 24 coins this week, 3 silvers, in a filed I have hunted before with my old machine. Thanks to Marks YouTube videos I have about got the settings figured out.
