Hey there,
I've been "detectorless" for almost two years now. I sold my Minelab E-Trac and all accessories during a rough period to pay the bills. Focused on paying off debts and lowering expense over the past two years and I am back in a decent situation.
I Wanted to share my joy at buying my first *new* metal detector supporting our local metal detecting shop "The Miner's Cache" in Redding CA. I've always bought used... not today! Got myself a Minelax Equinox 800, Lesche digger and a Pro-Find 35 pinpointer. Had to order a finds pouch off Amazon unfortunately but will get that by Friday..
Charged her up fully, upgraded the firmware to the latest, got the headphones paired and now reading the manual and watching videos. Been air testing coins and such in 50 tone mode and playing around.
I'm sure you all know that anticipation I'm feeling to get detecting again! Especially since I moved into a different home a few months back and I have a front and back yard that I got permission (from myself) to detect LOL
Been researching detectors for a while now and the Nox 800 was my choice due to the fact that it's waterproof, lighter that E-Trac and has a good gold mode.. Redding hills have gold so.. wish me luck!
Very happy and excited to be back in the fold again! - It's dark out.. maybe I should swing it in the front yard anyways..
