exciting stuff.. maybe multi-freq in a waterproof design.. now that would interest me for sure !!

 

[John-Edmonton]

Wouldn't that be nice!

 

[BobOso]

I wonder if it is an improvement for the ATX

 

[MuddyMo]

It better perform better than their Apex. After all the hoopla most weren't very impressed and no one talked/talks about it like the nox, legend or deus. It's been pretty much forgotten and it hasn't been out long. I'd call that a big flop.

I disagree.

I talk about the Apex often and it is exactly what the wanted it to be, an excellent MID-PRICED Detector with SMF and it handles salt water very well. Has the four selectable Single Frequencies that also work well, and it is in an excellent land-based package and light weight.

It was not intended to compete with the Equinox at about twice the retail, or the much speedier Deus II.

Less confusing adjustments than the EQ 800, and I just finished some side-by-side comparisons on natural located targets. My friends agreed, the Apex was hard to beat and usually wasn't.

Monte, I whole heartedly agree. I would much prefer accuracy over raw depth. I would hope for a "juiced up" Apex for Garrett's next release.

 

[Dancer]

At least make it useable in Salt Water to Ten feet anyway. Otherwise. If it betters the ATX with half the weight, they might have something.

 

[jim tn]

Sounds like its probably going to be more of a dedicated gold machine.

Had the occasion to hunt with two different guys that (had) Apex's and as RLOH indicated, it needs a little juicing up. Anyway, we'll see shortly what the new offering is. HH jim tn

IMO, if you know what program you want to run and set it up for environment (s) you hunt in, the Equinox is extremely easy to operate. Also, I’m glad you found a machine that you mesh with. That’s more then half the battle.

I have a good Detectot Team I "mesh with" to include a Fisher F-75+ and F-19 Ltd., Garrett Apex, Nokta / Makro FORS Relic and Racer 2, Tesoro Bandido Ii microMAX and Silver Sabre microMAX, and I now own a Minelab Equinox 800. I have two friends who understand their's well and I will use their program suggestions to get to know it, then figure out what works for me so that I can "mesh" with it.

Monte, many yrs ago I also had a silver sabre micro max the the troy s9 coil on it. I sent it back to tesoro where Rusty Henry retuned the detector to match that particular coil. That combination was absolutely fantastic, even on a salt water beach. It hunted down to the water line with no issues at all. Boy was I fullish to sell the darn thing.

I started using tosoroes with the Inca in July of '83. The Silver Sabre microMAX and Bandido II microMAX were released in Oct. of '97. I was a Dealer and ordered some in and I have constantly owned one or two of each ever since. I used to use the Troy Super 7" until Tesoro got their 6" out, which I prefer, but both are great coils.
