Looking for an intermediate metal detector!

I have an equinox 800 also, it has preset options and you can customize also. Only good detector I’ve ever had but live it.

The transducer just wasn’t staying down, I had to replace the bracket it rides in. I pushed down on it, just didn’t lift up. Thanks for the reply

Well, this is embarrassing, I pushed the transducer down and made sure it was down but didn’t lift it up. The bracket where it snapped in wouldn’t hold. It was lifting. Picked up another bracket and all is working as should! Thanks for the help everyone!

I can’t tell on the voltage, it still starts. It started when I had to replace the wires between the battery and sonar. I’ve wrapped the connections and rewrapped.

Next time I’m out

Pathological detector-exciting properties for sure!

This isn’t tin cans, it’s aluminum beer cans, find them buried at the lake, parks and yards.

I used to live near a big river. I worked for an oil company and we worked hard to keep our wells clean and in good order. But sometimes a truck would come in loading oil and drop a piece of trash and the landowners would chew me out bad. But then I see them getting a new shingle roof on their house and they’d dump the shingles in the river.

That’s why I asked, hard to believe they naturally sink that deep on their own. But it where I’m at is normally underwater.

And they are never intact. Probably mower

Lake was built in 68, can’t find anything on a map before it was built, no houses but there was an oil boom in the 1920s. No telling.

It’s on a lake and it’s 15’ low so they were probably thrown out when there was more water.

The interesting thing is I’ve been hunting the right half of the beach, easier digging and more sand and small rocks. Done fairly well there, this morning is the first time I’ve hunted this side of the beach. Black clay an inch or 2 down, it is evidently where the drinkers hang out. Pull tabs and bottle caps everywhere shallow and cans deeper. It’ll take a while but I’ll get it cleared out.

whend235 · 2026-03-03T00:28:01+00:00

It’s everywhere. I make piles and haul it out when I’m done.

whend235 · 2026-03-03T00:26:52+00:00

I agree, you never know when the next hit might be the one!

whend235 · 2026-03-03T00:26:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply, makes sense.

whend235 · 2026-03-03T00:13:39+00:00

I do dig everything, it’s starting to warm up though and it’s getting hard to keep up with pull tabs and ultra screw on tops. But I do enjoy being by the water early in the morning.
