Here is what might happen.
If logistically set up smart way to do, save shipping loot to for manufacturer.
We may see dealers receive just one of each unit physically for demo purposes.
And get allocations at first.
Then dealers will take orders or use preorder info/loot, and order from warehouse.
Hence drop ship the units.
Would accelerate the pipeline process for actual transpo

This is a monster of a thing logistically-the Equinox.
Minelab has never faced this monster before.
Don't think some real thinkers are not involved with their every move.
They sure don't need to botch after the curtain is pulled back.
A movie can't be called bad until is it seen.
I'll make a prediction right now, even after release there will still be some that ra

I can only speak for Impact.
If you change freqs, for optimum depth depending on soil minerlization, good idea to do a groud balance.
Milder soil not as critical when toggling freqs while checking or actual sweeping to detect targets.
Usually the GB phase number will as you lower operating freq will increase slightly.

Go rebels,
Both HF coils can indeed turn (signals obtained using LF coils where iron tone was obtained on actual nonferrous) to tones that a user can actually decipher as nonferrous tonally.
Even some targets detected with HF coils ( depending on detecting scenario) can produce very borderline pitch sounding signals for actual nonferrous.
This can be caused by soil by a combination of ei

Yes, obviously you didn't read.

This pic here.
I don't know if any other detector made can do what Deus does here using gold field program.
We see nail board test, and nail and coin down the barrel tests done and even videoed. But what we usually see is an Indian head coin used-not a higher conductor.
Both Deus HF coils react the same sweeping down the barrel here on this nail and dime combo. I like elliptical

Yeah, and Equinox is likely the Most Open Minelab has been with a detector pre release.
Reading information about a pre release detector actually cost a person nothing financially.
So, where is the BEEF?
A person can buy now if they desire or wait or not buy period.
Neither model detector has been criticized by an actual true consumer.
No where does it say, how any manufacturer can

Maybe not what you ask here.
I will be sharing some info in a few days.
