Sort of a strange thread here.
Why?
When I get tired I usually rest, or take a nap, or go to sleep.
The Equinox threads/posts are here alright, but no one here is making anyone click on them.
So, why all the hoopla over Equinox?
#1
Weight, waterproof for price advertised.
#2
Perceived stability in salt water, sallt water sand.
#3
It is a Minelab and Minelab has created a reputation.
#4
It is perceived this model series performs well in iron, better than the fbs types like CTX and Etrac.
To change topic here somewhat.
Remember Deus.
It didn't light up the forums like Equinox has/did.
Why?
Well, it likely would have but Deus initially not released or offered to USA customers.
It too is cherished by its light weight.
You know it's funny, and this may indeed happen with Equinox as it did with Deus.
What is this exactly?
I read here and other places too, these fan club FBSers would defend Etrac and CTX to their death, but some thing happened.
Some of these same people here and other places are now it seems more dedicated XP Deus users.
My only real complaint is not having another model being released in this same time frame.
Yes, I sure don't blame folks for being giddy about this coming detector model series.
Lots of older folks still detect, but detector weight is killing them, and the price of Deus may be killing them too.
Just remember, we as detectorists and future detectorists, all may benefit eventually, as the other detector manufacturers will be watching and trying to compete with Minelab and other manufacturers as well.
One more thing.
One sure fire way to get an issue(detector) talked about even more is to start another thread about the issue one (seems) is tired of I guess (reading) about.
