  • This week I continue to change the settings on the Minelab Equiox 800 and with the six inch coil, go over old ground. Some nice silvers and other coins show it works.

    Thanks for hunting out my RUclips channel.
    My name is Andrew, so why do they call me The Coffee Bush Kid? I may have found the odd gold coin or two in the middle of the coffee bush where others fear to tread.

      I've got the same problem as far as changing coils 🤣
      But in the winter I will
      I'm hitting a great amount of silver coins at the park I'm doing now and all I'm able to dig is three inches at best, got 13 silver's last Sunday and I popped 10 today along with a few penny's,
      But I'm almost in tears when I have to walk away from targets down deep that come in at 34.35 36.. 😭..

    Howdy Andrew, That was a good hunt. I was surprised at how well the silvers cleaned up. Did you use electrolysis on them? Good advice on going over old sites with new settings. All the targets at that hospital dump seem to be right on the surface. You could probably set your sensitivity down to 12 and still find them but I guess there is no point going any lower than necessary. Hope you are having fun with Mish and Deb. See you later today on the livestream. - roelf

    • @TheCoffeeBushKid
      @TheCoffeeBushKid  2 года назад

      Gday Roelf. The pre 46 silvers I use electrolysis but on the post 46 I use a product called CLR which is for removing calcium, lime and rust. Leave them soak in that for a few hours then clean them off with bicarb soda and water. Come up a treat. You are right about the sensitivity. The finds aren’t that deep. We are having fun and will see you soon👍😁
