   No metal detector ever made can do this...untill now!
   Beach hunters are gonna go crazy for the Equinox, could be a long wait to get one.

Might go crazy if they reintroduced the Sovereign

Deus does not detect chain in those conditions then, I wonder😢

No idea, and I'm not going paddling in the sea in February to find out!

Any volunteers?

In english waters with all the iron you would never pick that up , i also seen a video were the equinox wouldnt pick the coin up between the iron nails 

[Gary]

Can you share it

[lobo]

In fairness to the Equinox. If it's the same video I saw, it's operator inexperience that results in the coin not being heard between 2 nails. He does actually get it by trying a different mode but you can tell he has little to no experience with the machine.

And there's the problem.  Lot's of You-Tubers dashing out Equinox videos to get thier subscriber numbers up and little idea what they are doing.  But many will happily tell viewers what a great machine it is regardless.  I for one will be rather careful what I watch 

[Gary]

I think the YouTubers are doing a half decent job compared to what Minelab reps have released over the last few months.

That's a fair point Gary.  Now that they are starting to arrive will my Deus screen say Obsolete? 

[lobo]

The main problem is that there aren't enough of the production machines out in the field yet. Only then will we start to get an improved feedback on how good or bad the Equinox really is.

Seems to availble off the shelf in Europe.Just go to e-bay.

Its the UK suppliers that have been let down by somebody.

Mind you its still an unknown machine until proven by the truly knowable unbiased guys out in the field.

I will stick with the "proven XP  Deus" until it gets knocked off the perch.

Happy Hunting,

Jerry.

Wise words - oh wise one!

  so this " could " be a game changer and even upstage the mighty Deus 
 
Exiting time's " maybe" 

[Flatlander]

It doesn't matter how many bells and whistles it's got, no matter what the manufacturer says it can do, if your permissions are barren this new machine can not magically make metal objects suddenly appear in the ground ! If there's nothing to be found its no better than a 40 year old BFO, and if it's as good as we have all been told why has it taken over 5 months to get the production going ? To be honest I will be glad when the bloody thing is finally released, fed up of hearing about it !!!
