The Equinox running in 24 sensitivity like in this persons case, is a very powerful detector.

I think you are looking at the reason for increasing coil sizes? As they were in years

Note:
2 pages so far and I have learned nothing! Salt Beach performance with moving wave wash is what I will keep my eye on.
Will wait for the testers.

Yes Tom. To be more specific I was not talking about the wires from the box to coil.
My thoughts are to the windings in the coil itself. Why could there not be a shielding topside of the w

Interesting Tom. On the one spot I have that gives me EMI issues the Equinox is bad and the MDT does not even know there is EMI. So, spot on.

I hope not. I would much rather set the amount chatter to my liking than let the detector decide for me.
The key should be for MfG's to do more research as how to eliminate EMI. I am very impressed with the Tarsacci's ability to handle EMI. But I only had one spot to compare it. Also I don't know if the Tarsacci is a platform based solution or actual engineering was done for E
