Equinox is by far the top dog for park hunting because of infinite notch discrimination, Recovery Speed, choice of hunting modes, choice of tones, simultaneous Multi frequency as well as single frequencies, Bluetooth wireless, etc, etc.
Tarsacci and Vista X don't even come close to what the Equinox offers.
The only thing the Tarsacci has going for it is the proven ability to see throug

The best coil I've found for the T2/F75 is the 15 X 12 SEF. It's light and well balanced for it's size. Much lighter than the NEL Attack.

What are your reasons for not liking adapters? The pigtail itself is an adapter.

I don't see how adding an inch to the length of the coil could possibly cause a "significant" increase in depth.
A 15 inch coil would make more sense depthwise if a coil of that size will work with the MDT technology. That would also significantly increase coverage.
Make the 11/12 inch round coil the stock coil and also offer a 6 inch.

I can't bring myself to submerge my 800.
When I accidentally fell in the woods with my first one, it did not take much of a hit to break open the control pod and I could see the electronics inside. I imagine even a minor drop on the ground or bump against a tree might be enough to pop the seal and you would never know it. Next thing you know, it leaks when you enter the water.

I just Googled "The Golden Olde" and it came up on Silverfiends site. It's cool that he took the time to save Norm's work.

These old articles "The secrets of finding the deep ones" by Norm Garnush explain the technique more deeply.
I had forgotten that the non-ferrous low tones might be possible on land in some highly mineralized ground. It is less likely to occur if your ground is mineral-free like where I am. It is the minerals in the ground and the salt in the ocean sand that extend the depth capabi

I've owned a CZ20 since 1998. I have done quite a few tests in the wet sand on buried targets over the years. At ocean beaches, All metal is deeper than Disc on targets that ID as non-ferrous.
The key thing about the CZ20/21 is that deep non-ferrous targets will give low tones or partial low tones if the target is near the edge of detection. These non-ferrous low tones get the same depth

I like everything about the AQ and I'm totally sold on it but I think a lot of people who have been waiting with anticipation for a new model from Fisher will be disappointed that it is a PI.

Lol. Correction, I meant the final mass-produced model.
Most of us will never see a Limited in the wild.

Ah, the Chesapeake. For some reason, I thought Joe might be farther north like Connecticut or RI. That explains why it looks like a lake. Mystery solved.

Rick, thanks for putting it so simply. I understand it better now.
Definitely a niche detector. I like that. Only hardcore detectorists will be using this machine.
