Something for all the overly critical folks to think about.
I am going to single out a person here.
Mr Keith Southern.
We watch his vids don't we??
Does anyone here think Keith just turns on a new to him detector and go hot on a video camera and then upload for us to watch?
Or has he already performed previously what he re dos when videoing?
Yeah, he gets a detector delivered turns

I watch a video like that one to learn, not critique.
Gent sure didn't charge admission to watch.
I will be waiting for the academy award productions here.

I have hunted this site. Actually dug over 100 nonferrous out of using Deus. Folks told me they had been hunting this site hard since 1975.
I haven't hunted in a while.
Based on the trees in background and listening to the one gent talk, where the gold was found, ,when I hunted a few times was in pretty tall stubble.
I have hunted with the gray haired gent once in Ky.
He was a big ti

Might well order the Nox Harold, then give us the real scoop on it. You know you want one. Etrac is getting old release date wise. Who knows what Minelab has up their sleeve.
Could they have a pair of aces ? I think they

Is the validity of dependent on frequency transmitted of a detector? Or detector disc system?
Multiple times previously stated on this forum, grounding not a good test. But these comments were about detectors generally transmitting at lower freqs. And I guess I could say had slower recovery speeds generally. Where actual grounding would it seem allow a detector to 'falsely see th

He lives in Michigan.
He has other detectors too.
Said he found nickel deep as all get out, like tip of his fingers to elbow deep- using 9" coil.
That particular detector does have a mighty lively coil on it.
Gent was plum stoked.
He likes the Chaser now.

I was told the unit is being shipped to me. When I can view tracking # and can derive delivery date I will pass along.

Well my dealer gave me info.
Can say this, just getting rid of backlog of preorders is going to take a while.
I sure don't know what preorders are for Canada and USA ( totals) but wouldn't surprise me the number doesn't approach 1,000 units.
Wonder what world wide totals for preorders are ??
Some folks may call me crazy for what I am about to say. Equinox could very well

Big pic here.
This is a search listing of all Canadian and USA Minelab dealers.
Don't know how accurate this is, but it it still a bunch of dealers.

Um, if I were indeed wanting info on a detector from a user/tester, what kind of info would I want?
Seems to me I would be interested in knowing how the detector compares to at least certain other models.
If a person told me the E was deep, or then E separated well, or the E unmask well, or was stable in salt water.
What is this really telling me? IMO not much.
So since Equinox for the
