Well after waiting since last weekend to get my new Equinox (and watching a bunch of youtube videos) I felt like a kid on christmas morning when I got it last night.

Had a great morning sunny and 50's out to start, so I took it to my go-to place at a nearby school yard I have pounded.

I really liked

Wireless Headphones
Lightweight
Quick recovery speed
Target separation
Tones
Depth

I ran Park 1 w/ 50 tones and only adjusted the sensitivity a few times. More than once I found a coin in same hole as iron junk, I probably missed those with the E-trac before. I dug a lot of targets just to see what they were, but could see digging only 20 and above unless I expect older coins or jewelry or relics in the site. I did find a mercury dime and for some reason 5 Canadian pennies

I can see the E-trac may be collecting dust in the future. I still have try out my 15 and 6 inch coils,

Quite happy with it and hope to get out more this weekend
