Dan, are you a vendor or just a fan?

Big fan Sharing the new info. Why??

 

[Peyton Manning]

just wondered, no problem

 

[etex]

Fan is short for fanatic

I just trust the opinion of someone who isn't trying to sell anything

I'm a buyer, just need a product so I can give someone my dollars

Hope this is a sign that it will be in our hands before new year

Sure looks eerily similar to the Deus.

I am really looking forward to this machine. I think it's going to be a good one...

I think by thanksgiving we will know for sure whether they will be released in US
before years end. Minelab won't commit
To a date until they're certain.

The Deus certainly has it all over them when it comes to swapping coils! The Deus user will have the new coil in place and be halfway down the field before the Equinox user has his coil off. Of course, that convenience comes at a cost - literally. Deus coils are expensive as hell because each coil has the processor and a battery in it.

Unless you are changing size on the Minelab, no need to fiddle with coils for different frequencies like on the Deus. Better make sure all of them are charged, too.

It takes me 15 maybe 20 seconds to change a coil on my E-trac. If you can change your Deus coil faster than that, I guess you've got a BIG head start on me!

I'm springing for the 600.

Good to hear, HighVDI! I really think the Equinox is going to be a good one...

Seems like all the testers are claiming it's a deep machine. To be honest, light and deep with accurate target ID is what I really want. If it is as fast as they claim that will just be icing on the cake along with the waterproof capabilities. I like hunting the early farm fields for the old deep coins.

If the EQ can ID bottle caps half as well as the Etrac does I may consider trading in the Deus for an 800. Using all of the tricks, I can almost always ID a bottle cap with the Deus, but that "almost always" is what I consider a borderline good signal so I end up digging anyway. Would still be swinging Etrac or CTX if weight wasn't an issue. Love me some FE numbers. EQ will be interesting...

So far, all the testers are... well, I'm not gonna say "Minelab shills" but let's just say that they are biased because Minelab gave them an Equinox to play with. So, I'm taking any claims with a large grain of salt until we have "real" users doing the testing. Still, I hope you're right!
