I've talked about numerous times the Equinox hitting targets the Etrac/CTX won't hit at all. Or in some cases hit very poorly. I've taken some grief about saying that. Yesterday in a curb strip my buddy using his CTX hunted it first. We swap places with each other when we are done. When I went back over the curb strip I got a soft high tone bouncing from 28-32 on the Equinox 800 Park1 sensitivity 21, recovery 4, F2-0, Horseshoe on, 11" stock coil.
I called him over there to swing over it again. He got zilch on the CTX 11" stock coil. He completely circled it several times. He tried different swing speeds etc.. When I dug the target it was slightly over the length of my pin-pointer deep. It turned out to just be a 1955 rabies tag. Copper/brass not aluminum. Bummer it wasn't a quarter, but just goes to show what I've brought up many times about the Equinox occasionally getting targets the CTX and Etrac can't. Not many, but enough for me to have taken note of it over the last 4 years.
