The Aussies don"t make detectors
The parent company, Minelab, is located in Australia. They held a Minelab Dealer Seminar/Training in 2012 that I attended when they introduced the fellow then heading their new location in Illinois. In that presentation their let us know that they were no longer making FBS units in Ireland, I belie it was, and moving all their detector manufacturing to Malaysia.Wrong. Minelab. Equinox 600/800.
I have the Equinox 800
only wish they could make a detector as good as the Aussies.
Each company general has a low range line, a medium line and top of the line detectors. And most successful hunters who have been it for the long haul have more then one brand.
"Only american is good"
Are other brands not good enough you say? Not really friendly to those who read this who have a different good or perhaps even better brand.
"One brand, or crazy"
Thanks for calling me crazy.
I've got one detector more then ten years in use, and another more then 5 years. No need for others as i have found plenty super finds, and they still do for me. My hunting buddies with "the best detectors" next to me didn't found more or better, and i never found less then them. Museum worthy finds of all kinds that you would envy, so who's crazy?
One could say the same to those spending more and more money time and time again for a feeling and none actual practical results. But I'm not saying that about you, am i?
Great someone has his own opinion. Great someone is proud at his country. But i don't like it that those who have other opinions are being called names. So please stop with that.
I did not mean my comment as an insult to anyone. I am saying that all detectors are not designed the same as others. Some companies design their detectors to handle minerals and have problems with salt or EMI. Some handle trash better than others. In over 12 years of detecting I have NOT found one brand of detector that does everything great.

You need an Equinox
I'd argue that, depending upon what is already being used, the types of sites hunted, and the success already being achieved. No perfect detector out there, to be sure. All of them have a strength or two, but all of them also exhibit some weaknesses as well.
I'm adjusting my Detector Outfit this month to trim down the number of units to the analog and digital models that work well where I need them, and that includes both single frequency VLF's and Multi-Frequency that provide both VLF and LF range frequencies as desired for various tasks.
