    I've Finished Up All My aa Battery Test, and the Results Are In!, 'The Good' 'The Bad' and 'The Average'

    FYI, in my testing using Li-Ion batteries, I found the Excalibur 1000 draws about 55ma, the ATPro about 65ma and the ATX a whopping 185ma. Detector settings including audio had very little affect on the current draw.

    Aftermarket shafts. What you got ? Like it ?

    Personally, for me, the ATX shafts are oversized and over weight when compared to other options in today;s materials. The ATX was built from the base of a military mine detection, not salt water hobby detecting machine. I have to say that once in the water its weight becomes the least of the...

    Aftermarket shafts. What you got ? Like it ?

    The ATX is quite a different detector from the ATPro/Gold/Max detectors. Your shafts look great, love the rid and blue versions. If only they would fit to the ATX detector. Thanks for the note.

    Aftermarket shafts. What you got ? Like it ?

    For the Equinox: Plugger's - no wobble - no metal pins - tight plastic shaft locks For the Excalibur Plugger's Over and Under. Pistol grip - no "S" shaft. Fits inside my vehicle were as the behind the elbow being almost a foot longer will not fit without adjusting the shaft down. I use of nylon...

    Traveling to Antigua or Barbuda? A MUST READ! :surrender:

    I must be on a roll to knock off places to vacation with my detector. In August 3, 2018's Antigua Observer I read that: "Visitors and residents in Antigua and Barbuda are being warned to stop using metal detectors to uncover artefacts on the country’s beaches. In a press release on Wednesday...

    Japanese translation to English; please

    Thanks for looking and translating, if you can / did. I believe there are 4 character sets that each one has a specific meaning.

    800 - DIED - graveyard dead

    A half an hour into my second salt water hunt, while digging a target the Equinox’s audio went wild, multiple beeps of different tones and would not stop. I saw the Cd error code, powered the unit OFF and went back to the car where I dried it off. Checked both the connectors for water, they were...

    GrayGhost Amphibians to Equinox adapter

    I made a waterproof adapter for my GrayGhost Amphibians (with a Garrett connector on them) to fit the Equinox audio jack. Now I can use any of my Garrett land and waterproof headphones with the Equinox. I will probably put the same connector on my Excalibur. Cost of connectors was under $60.00...

    Tale of Two Equinox

    Minelab states an Equinox should not be operated within 45 feet of other detectors. This would be very difficult to do in a planted hunt! Has any one verify just how close two Equinox can get to each other before the go crazy? If so, how close? from page 47:

    Charger / Power Bank - IMO one ultimate big boy toy

    The RG-1000 will not only charge two devices at once at 2.1A each. It can also charge your laptop, cell phone, be used as a flashlight and JUMP START your car or truck! YES, I have done it. It is a bit heavy at almost a pound to use as a power bank but it can and does function as one when...

    404 Not Found Page Not Found

    So much for the Minelab Accessory page for the Equinox. (all day today) Hopefully they are adding prices and availability. Until then Page 60 of the user's manual will have to do.

    Anyone find the Equinox's USB connector?

    From Specification Page 66. Software Upgradeable Yes, via USB connection ( Windows and Mac OS) Maybe an internal connection that is only accessible by the repair service center? Or maybe I am going blind, could it have been eliminated in the production units? Maybe Firmware and...

    Equinox battery / cell

    First off the battery / cell is replaceable. And one will be able to replace it themselves. However the warranty probably will be voided, and the waterproof level may be compromised and special tools may be needed. But it is replaceable. Shortly, I'll bet, someone will have a video on YouTube on...
