My Equinox dilemma, here it is. Iāve been thinking of buying a 600 to add to my arsenal, so, been playing with a friendās 600 before making that decision and thereās one aspect of the machine that I donāt care for.
The presets, and the manner in which the machineās presets prioritizes the frequencies seems counter productive āfor me.ā While testing the machine I was stunned to see how much loss there was between high conductors and mid-conductors depending on the preset selected. Per example, in park 2 I got decent depth on gold but extremely poor depth on silver, this same opposite effect when in Park 1. This same effect also holding true in each of the presets offered.
The problem for me is that I donāt want to miss any of the deep silver while trying to track down gold when water hunting, fact is I really enjoy recovering all that deep silver while waiting on the gold. So my question to you experienced Equinox users is this, āis there any way around this?ā I was honestly stunned at the loss of performance on deep silver when setup for maximum performance on deep gold. For now, anyway, Iām miffed to find a way around this? What am I missing?
