It only obsoletes single frequency units that it can better in a given situation like depth, separation , discrimination, target ID but any unit that does anyone of these better is not obsolete i am quite sure there are many single frequency units that are deeper so they can not be obsolete as without these units we could not find those deeper targets, to truly make single frequency units obsolet

it most likely got the nail signal first which was a false one and just coincidence that there was a coin deeper down i think its impossible to get a non ferrous signal from a target that is directly under a ferrous one as this seemed to be maybe the coin was a few inches to the side though ?

Has anyone tried more than one pair of headphones with the Equinox yet? were they any better than the supplied ones? what about Ohms 32? 150? are there any tonal changes with different Ohms? i use 32 with some units and 150 with others.
