You can bet on it Gary-soon too.

Unit packing is good.
The wireless headphone case has a little zippered storage for charge cable and the cable for use to hardwire wireless headphones to detector in case your wireless battery dies.
All contents seem to be in package as outlined in instruction manual.
Remember folks you only get one coil bolt.

Hell yeah man! Let us know how the Nox and the Deus play together. And if one outperforms the other. Hoping mine gets here soon, but I'm patient.

Hopefully can post some preliminary comparison data by tomorrow close of business.
Remember though, I will be posting comparison data in the detector comparison subforum.

If I post Equinox specific data, I'll post in this subforum.
Need to start another thread though with appropriate title.

Looking forward to some real depth results from different modes. And most importantly, find some good stuff.:thumb_up:

Alright,
I spent about 40 minutes with the detector out sweeping and checking a few things.

Noise cancel process, best I've seen as far as selecting and cycling vs fbs/fbs 2 detectors.

Ergo rating (nose heaviness compare to Deus wearing 11" LF coil) Deus wins by a smidge. Very close.

Navigating settings a breeze. I even ventured into advanced settings.

I didn't charge my detector up all the way, but had full bars in power level meter.
Wireless headphones charged fully in about 2 hours.

Sound of detector.
Imo CTX users or previous CTX users will meld with faster vs Etrac or Deus.

Love the magnetic charge connections- some ingenuity there.

Detector doesn't seem flimsy.

Backlights works great, didn't run at highest setting, remember folks this is 800 model, 600 model backlights a little different.

Won't give opinions yet on what I have witnessed so far testing.
But can say this I saw something that made go in the house and bust out my mighty Deus with 11" coil.

May make another run tonite. Cold outside. Probably the only dummy out tonite in Tn with metal detector.

Sounds great tnsharpshooter! Can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm around #50 on my dealer's list so it may take a while for mine to arrive.
