[Cooper]

Jumped on the minelab wagon today pre ordered 600 equinox bought a whites MX sport last Christmas now were do you guys and gals hide your detectors and stuff from your spouse

[Lodge Scent]

I tried making my man cave so disgustingly filthy that my wife wouldn't want to venture in to it. But that failed. The all-seeing eye sees all. ;)

[Cheap Thrills]

My wife uses reverse psychology , She says " sure , go ahead and get it " . It takes all the fun out of it so I usually rethink and pass on getting it . We have been married 48 years .

:coffeelaugh: Dang it! :lol:

I too usually just show her the pictures and threads on the forums.
And she just asks me "Yeah, So. When are you getting it?" :lol:

[OxShoeDrew]

I just got mine too!!! You have a T2 and an etrac, right, Coop? I have only used the T2...the Minelab tones are going to take a while for me to get used to.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Drew, but you will never get used to those Minelab tones. They render any metal detector useless. You may as well pack that Equinox up and ship it to me and I will dispose of it properly for you. :cheesysmile:

Nice try Tony, but I think that piece of scrap should come to me to be "recycled" properly! :detecting:

[Cheap Thrills]

Just wait, Drew. Soon that "bad flute" will be sweet music to your ears when you get the coil over a copper, colonial buckle or a silver coin. :thumbsup01:

Best of luck with your new machines Cooper and Drew , please give us all an honest assessment ( both good and bad ) .


My wife has asked me more than a few times "so when you getting a new detector" over that last 13 years (the lifespan of my DFX now) :lol: But the bills and kids expenses have always took priority that and the fact I just hate spending that kind of money on myself :yes:.

Is it me or does this Equinox look very similar to the deus ? you think Minelab is trying to cut into their market ?:lol:

[Lodge Scent]

The question I have Drew is will Mrs. OSD let you keep your new toy on that window sill when it is caked with an inch of mud and grime?

Some years back I used to hunt with a buddy that had a Minelab. He didn't ever use headphones. Even though I was a DFX user, I learned the flute notes.

Dan, if you take away the cable, and the non collapsible straight shaft, you could say the Equinox resembles the Deus ;)

If Minelab intends for the Equinox to cut into the Deus market, I think it would also cut into the CTX market seeing that the CTX and Deus have similar pricing. But performance is everything and in the end marketplace will be the final arbiter.

Yes, we want field reports from real users....NOW ! ;)

Now I think about it I was confusing you Cooper with another member, Coop. Sorry!

No problem I'm still waiting on mine i called kellyco today said they had shipped some but had alot of reserves

I would guess this is Minelab's answer to the Deus. I have already noted that the price point of the Deus has moved down a little bit and a starter bundle, without the remote, is priced very close to the Equinox. I had a CTX a few years ago but only took it to one cellar hole. I should have read the instruction manual first because I had been using it in Georgia on a Civil War site. It was a beast on my Civil War site and went deep (14" on a Standing Liberty). I was digging hot rocks all day with the machine at the cellar hole and couldn't figure out why I was hitting rocks. It turned out the machine thought I was still in GA because I didn't know to change one of the settings.
