    I’ve never updated my machine…

    Interesting about coins on edge… I’ve found many that way but maybe because I grid one way and then the other?

    I’ve never updated my machine…

    Ok, sounds like I’m not missing too much! I’ve always liked how the machine runs and I have found some dang good stuff with it.

    I’ve never updated my machine…

    Thanks for the info! I used to be more on top of such things when I detected a lot, but the last few years have been a whirlwind… I need to slow down and do more detecting!

    I’ve never updated my machine…

    I’ve been doing a little research on the updates for the equinox since I have never done even the first update after owning my machine for about three years now. It seems like there are mixed reviews on whether updates should be done, which updates, and I’ve even seen some feedback saying that...

    Thanks Calabash

    Add me to the list! I really enjoy the videos and seeing the different scenarios that the detector apparently does very well in. The only thing for me that might be missing I guess until I get my hands on one personally, is to see how it does in the gold fields… But the real elephant in the room...

    Equinox mods?

    I had a CF shaft, then got the CF telescoping shaft. Well the telescoping one was too short, so I cut down the straight shaft to make a longer upper section, solving the shortness problem. I also have the folding control box mod on mine, which is super nice for backpacking. Otherwise the usual...

    Is a Deus a good Car trunk Metal Detector?

    My ORX lives in my truck. We’ll see if it becomes a problem but I really don’t expect it to since it’s never in direct sunlight and is stored under a seat, usually with the sunroof and windows slightly open for venting. It has never been an issue for any of my other machines in spite of our 100+...

    Just Spent 38-K and got Shi..t

    My wife lets me take her car wherever my ‘judgement’ allows. Having said that…it’s a minivan so…lol! My detecting ride is a Silverado on 35’s. Not the most economical but it’ll get anyplace I point it! Problem is, I’ve only been pointing it at work for the last couple years! As has been...

    Anyone Read This Book? I am thinking about ordering it.

    I have this book and it has good info! There’s a lot of focus on how to read the landscape in terms of how available the gold will be in areas you already know are good areas. I find that approach refreshing when you consider all the information of geologic indicators may put you in the *area*...

    whats the best detector you ever had

    I’ve had a lot of good machines, so it’s hard to say. However, the most fun to use and least painful after hours on end, packed in a tiny backpack, was like having several machines wrapped into one…. XP Deus.

    Classroom?

    Oh didn't know that. Were there too many complaints about leakage or erratic performance in the heat? Those are two biggies I've read about, and experienced the heat related issues. Oh well, I know the machine pretty well, I just like to brush up before dusting it off! Almost all my detecting...

    Get Off My Land..!!

    The 'three S' rule applies to many things. But so many people are photo researchers, meaning it's easier for them to go to a place known and easily found, than to go through the trouble to find their own spots. In the goldfields my partners have literally had people following them to see where...

    Classroom?

    Just wondering where the classroom went? I searched the section with the other classrooms but don't see the EQX one? I know there have been changes as I only hit this forum maybe every 3 months or so when I'm planning on dusting off my EQX... My main use for it anymore is just riding in my...

    Another UW headphone option

    I've been sitting on this idea, mostly because I don't have much time to test stuff. Scubadetector take notes! You might be the best tester for this... We're all swimming in a sea of mediocrity with this underwater headphone performance issue-stock or modded are all too quiet. SO. Instead of...

    LCD screen ‘washes out’ after 40minute sunny beach hunt..

    Well it really pains me to report that my equinox apparently has a problem. Was hunting the beach yesterday in the sun in about 89 maybe almost 90° temperatures, and the LCD screen got hot and started washing out to where you could not read it. Minelab suggested factory reset and try again just...

    Charcoal falsing on Geohunter?

    Scan said 'precious metal' at 7'. Actual target response was due to a layer of charcoal from an old campfire at roughly 1.5'! I know VLF's can suffer in the coke/charcoal and the JH runs on 12khz... is there a certain way to defeat this type of response? Otherwise tests in clean ground do hit...

    Finally graduating from pennies!

    I've been killin it on the pennies for the last three trips! Those are my 4th, 5th and 6th trips with the CTX, and today was the second since getting Andy's book. Anyway I feel like I'm slowly getting more used to the machine and today, finally a silver coin! In addition to loads of junk I found...
