I didn't want to commandeer Cooper's thread any more than I already have so I've started another Equinox thread. I opened and assembled mine last night! No hunts as yet and 6in of snow coming tomorrow night :overreaction:
Jeff, To answer your question...I do whatever I want (as long as it's what Mrs OSD also wants)! :grin: I started getting sick, then a few hrs later received the Equinox. I've been in bed all day. :sick: So no hunt reports coming from me.
Dan, Last night I swung it in the house and driveway and my first impressions are that the handle is more round than the T2. This seems to inhibit proper swing technique. I noticed the front heaviness and round handle promote "pendulum" swings. I just have to watch out for that.
I was surprised at the size of the processor unit, main part. It looks more like the 3030 than the Deus when you first see it. Don't get me wrong, it's smaller than my Samsung s8+ but it IS fatter.
Also, this detector is really more intuitive than I suspected. Much of my experiences carried over.
I have two test bed targets. A 6in clad dime and a 10in clad quarter. I have no idea why I chose those depths and targets 7 yrs ago. Out of the box, default sensitivity etc nailed them both.
Tony, the tones don't seem as foreign as I thought, but I need some time to play with it.
