Well doc, you ol FT fanboy! What cutting edge detectors has your company put out in the last few years? A NEW PINPOINTER!!!!! Yeah!!!!! FT could only dream about having a 2 mo. backlog on a new product!!
Minelab is actually accomplishing something! Wish you well buddy.

So far the EQ using 40KZ is the bomb. While I have tested Micro on the beach another fellow in the area has gone out and is finding small gold ear rings and chains in sanded conditions. No light feat considering the amount of sand they have pumped on our beaches. Will be out next week and trying his setup. I'm keeping this one for the beach but as a land hunter I find big nails are going to be a problem. So far for me in limited use bottle caps show as good target and with the E T I can tell its a cap 90% of the time on the beach. So many positive things about the MD means its staying.

Bottled caps.
Try this.
They will usually read 10-17 ID using multi freq with q tad of dodgy sounding tone.
Set up program using user profile feature with 5khz.
Sweep a cap in Multi freq, flip to your other program sweep using 5khz, cap ID should jump a lot. Equinox won't do this on nonferrous it seems. Now it would be possible for Equinox when switching to 5khz, for the target to drop out altogether, if this happens likely smaller lower conductor, or heavier masked nonferrous.
User profile option is great little asset/option.

It appears no one in the entire country of France wants an Equinox if this is true , or perhaps XP and Minelab have a court settlement

U.K. Just starting getting units not long ago.
I am sure France will get them soon.

I am sure there are a lot of Deus lovers in France.
Some of these Deus lovers just might love Equinox when they use.
This here Deus lover DOES!!

Just like in the USA- we have White's lovers, Garrett AT lovers, First Texas lovers.

I love anything that works, don't care where it is made or engineered.

Oh I love Impact detector too. Just so folks know.

Wish I could run 2 or 3 detectors at once- then Imwould have any dilemma.

Maybe here is my all out list of detectors to cover detecting for coins and relics jewelry. In and out of water.
Not in any order.
Minelab Etrac
Deus
Nokta Impact- or Makro Kruzer
Minelab Equinox
This newest deep tech gold 30khz unit
Throw in Minelab. GPX for good measure.
Rutus Alter 71 with concentric coil.
Fisher F75 DST unit with stock coil only- for milder dirt hunting,
Need some different coils for the above.

Pretty good combo above. Should do most folks about anywhere.

Ill say it..... water phones and cable are accessories. Not to me.... to me as a water guy they are necessities. It takes me about 10 min. To do a CTX connector on a pair of phones..... im old and slow. Waterproof buds ...even blue tooth ones we can get. Dontdo much good under water. I do thank ML for wwireless.
