Kudos to Minelab here on their Equinox manual.
This manual different than any other I have viewed online.
Notice the embedded links provided within the manual that will take a reader to area for more detailed info.
This capability here really does help with understanding and faster comprehension.
For gee whiz, CTX nor the GPZ 7000 instruction manuals do not have these embedded links.

Eagles deserved to win.
No fighting, extremely few penalizes.
Eagles have IMO the next Joe Montana. Gent throws the sweetest ball I have seen in a while, since Montana actually.
Brady and his coach can go to the woods now.
Bellecheck when interviewed was a disgrace. Time for him to go. Never even put a good plug in for his boys or even put a plug in for the winners. Needed to do.

Alright,
Thought I would share a few experiences I had today while detecting in the wild.
A 3 hour hunt with split time between round and elliptical HF coils.
Made a few finds using both coils.
I ran the hot program while actually hunting. But used gold field program to check some targets. Glad I did too. Payed off.
Here is pic.
Notice the bracelet with the name on it. Gent is st

Note Equinox internal battery rating in instruction manual-5,000mAh.
Need a pretty good sized pack to handle multiple charges if going to remote site for a while with no household juice available.
Or have muliple charged packs on hand.

Frank,
Your question here is well, how can Imsay this (please don't take offense) is faulty.
Why?
Two of the models listed in your question are still in prerelease stage, no actual purchasers have used thus far or even posted about.
So could an actual tester even answer your questi

No instruction manual as part of shipped package.
This based on product release message as well as viewing package contents in the instruction manual.

Persons purchasing Equinox, be mindful.
Manual shows charging cable(s) depending on package model..
This cable is USB, will not plug into wall outlet household power.
So you'll need some thing to plug charge cable into.
Refer to manual, as to the requirements and the advantages and disadvantages for charge times depending on method used.

Spouses and significant others of Equinox 800 users. Take note of headphone linking to smartphone. No more honey I'm late for dinner. Lol
On a serious note, good innovative move here Minelab, folks can enjoy their equipment and still stay connected to friends and family for emergencies and other important issues.
I guess a fair statement here.
Minelab is even looking out for actual n

I have read manual 3 times.
Very extraordinary I must say.
Will definitely help beginner detectorist.
Layout is nice too.
Notice on page 52 this "iron bias" is talked about and how the 2 models compare.
This manual is so good, IMO it will be hard for someone to put together an aftermarket book to do a better job. Like what we have seen done on previous Minelab models.

The mixed mode seems is lacking on Kruzer multi.
If I read correctly, di99 too.
I really wished Minelab wouldn't have used this word "obsolete".
I mean a Racer 2 can still find coins and relics.
A Minelab Explorer 2 can still find coins and relics.
The Impact can still find coins and relics.
We don't off our autos every year do we??
Or our TVs.
Or our homes.

I highly encourage those who have preorders in, to make certain your dealer has all needed personal data for transaction.
I already have, and hence am Locked and Loaded for Equinox 800 model.
