My life is complete. Why? Because now after 11 months, almost a year, when I first ordered the Equinox, WP headphones and 6" coil, my purchases are complete.

It was so stressful waiting all that time for what I perceived as the ultimate detector and accessories. The season was waning and I needed to hit the beach.

Please don't get me wrong, I love the Minelab Equinox but I would never wait a year to purchase a Chevy Equinox.
This is the first time in my life I waited so long to make a buy.

As always, Best of Luck!

Minelab was running production 24 hrs a day. Demand was and still is huge.

Congrats Rusty. I waited I think it was 4 months from order to delivery for my 800. I was okay with the wait. It's too danged hot for dirt digging at my present state of health. I'd rather live to use it for a few years rather than stroke out. I have bench tested it in the front yard and am really pleased with the way it locked in on targets - very precise.

This is the first time in my life I waited so long to make a buy.

I guess my point is directed to Minelab for the slooooow releases. Why put customers thru that?
My apologies if it comes across poorly.

As always, Best of Luck!

Cabelas has had them in stock on and off for the past 5 months! Had mine since March no waiting list required.

Congrats though on finally getting one! Its a great machine.

To clarify, his long wait was for everything he wanted. He got the detector first, then the Anderson Shaft, next was the waterproof headphones, and finally the 6" coil. Wish I had the balance of my order of 6" coils to fullfill the rest of the orders. :-)

hope it was worth the wait for everything. you should have quite the setup now so in theory, no excuses LOL. You should have some very useful tools to use now. a six inch coil would be nice to have but I have other priorities going on right now that dictate everything. good luck with it all, should be fun

That’s exactly right. Wayne at metaldetectingstuff was awesome in getting me all the items I wanted. Without his help I wouldn’t be this far along.
Thank you Wayne for all your kind help.

Glad you finally got all you needed. I got my Equinox and 6" coil within days for ordering each. But I still wish I had a beach but closest one is 7 hours away. So enjoy your beaches,you are truly lucky to be near beaches.

Thanks pulltabfelix! Even though I’m only a few miles away, life gets in the way sometimes that it may as well be 7 hours away.
Right now I’m recovering from shoulder surgery so it will be awhile before I get back to the beach.
Best of luck and I hope you can make it to the beach soon.

To whom it may concern:
If I made it seem like I waited 11 months to receive my Nox, that wasn’t the case. It was a total of 11 months to get all the stuff that I wanted.
