Equinox vs all other minelab detectors

[marjam]

If anyone that has the equinox that still has an fbs model, I would love to see a head to head video. I would like to see how it does on deep silver targets compared with an fbs model. I seen it go head to head with an at pro and deus, and i hope next we see this scenario.

Marjam, when I get to do my test in VA in the horrid red iron infested dirt in March, it should be very interesting. In mild ground, with little iron, it isn't much of a test for relic hunters. We have to deal with snakes, mountains, swamps, briars, fallen trees, etc. Not like park hunters. All that fun stuff. May do stills but not sure about a video. I tried a couple but I don't want to ruin a good camera with that horrid dirt which sticks like glue. A side by side in salt water (do you hear that tone?) would be beneficial also. A lot of people are going to be making sideways moves, not upward moves. On the bright side a lot of good machines will be available soon and someone will always buy them.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE YOU COULD EVER FIND ANOTHER THING IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EQUINOX . I DON'T THINK I SIT AT HOME AND FRET ABOUT IT ..how else would they sell a new machine ?

 

[marjam]

You can still find stuff with decades old machines. What sells the new stuff is the new technology that possibly can ink out targets that the old ones can't. We are all still searching for the machine that is a game changer. And everyone that comes out, we hope this one is it. I am no different. I am not machine loyal or brand loyal. If a company came out tomorrow named xyz detectors but had the best machine without any doubt, I would sell every machine i had if i had to to get it. I think alot of people would.

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, marjam, you are correct. Everyone wants the magic machine. I am not brand loyal either.

3cylbill, love your post, rofl.

Am I the only one who thinks these beautiful ladies are way too hot for these these guys?

Did you ever think that maybe it’s not the looks these women are attracted to...just some food for thought <grin>

I view the equinox as a faster Etrac and I loved my Etrac

I've ordered an 800 and I'm going to sell my excal.. May be a mistake but wiring repairs have cost me about 600 dollars thus far. Only under warranty one time.
The excal has paid for itself though.

I feel your pain. My buddy hunts with an Excel and I swear it breaks down almost every time we hunt. If it doesn't flood some other wire breaks loose. He does well when it's working.

Have you compared the two head to head yet? If so, what were the results? I have the etrac and this would be helpful for me to make a decision.
