Every year I go to O.C. Maryland multiple times in the summer. Usually go in May or June for a couple days, a week in July and a week in September. I always bring my Fisher coinstrike and hunt the wet and dry sand. It does false but I'm able turn the sensitivity down to where it's manageable. I actually used to rent a fisher 1280 from a place in Fenwick so I could get in the water.

Now I'm looking at getting a waterproof beach machine. Are there any Ocean City hunters using the Equinox 800? How does it handle the wet sand and in the water? I feel like this would be a good choice since I could also use it back home.

Yes

It does a fine job at the beach, the beaches are sanded in here now, with replenishment sand, no depositors waiting on June , July , August , as far as the water, ML has not released any accessories, with no swimmers here yet, not wasting time, i have beach hunted 3 times , all three with the 800, but it was basically let the dog swim days, dry sand under a buck, it's dead here now, happy hunting , Earl
 
The Fisher 1280X is a single frequency machine. Did it cause you a lot of problems? A good machine for fresh water but I didn't think it would work well in salt water.

NO find's this year :lol: Nothing posted year end last, there is a reason for it, Your on fire --in those old swim holes , but according to Facebook your in Ocean City cleaning up, but you tell me you only found 15 gold in 2 season's here , the big ? is finally answered here, pirates jet ski up, he asked for it :yes: go get him :shock::realitycheck::nono::police::bowdown::crackup::clap::snapoutofit::waytogo::realitycheck: PS :laughing: 30th street down, no replenishment :laughing:that's because - Bull Dozar's has been fixing up all the beaches along the board walk moving sand , they are even laying concrete , how do i know, i was hunting inside of the marker's , they have a two foot plastic up with stakes from the peer up.

Lol joe

Just another ploy to draw hunter's this way, when your cleaning out those old swimming holes on the Chesapeake Bay :jawdrop::lookclose::worms::realitycheck::facepalm: Happy Easter :D Water temp 40 degree's, NO depositor's swimming , i don't see any hard core hunter's in the Ocean before the season , if you think we are smoking some good s---- down here to think you can BS everyone in to thinking otherwise your sadly mistaken :nono::police: All though i did find 1 gold here in November years ago- when it was down to the hard pan, that is just not the case :roll:

Hey, thanks for the input everyone. I think I am going to grab an Equinox. To anwser that question about the 1280, it ran stable. It went deep too.I remember digging for 15 minutes for one of the ginormous mid 2000s cell phones.

I was hoping to get down there this coming weekend for a quick getaway, but I think I'm going to be stuck working on my car instead. I'll definitely get down there in May, hopefully weather warms up by then. Maryland has bipolar weather. Can't wait until my week long July trip. Going from the 21st to 28th and will be staying on 17th st.

Yes the 1280X is a deep machine. I used one for years before I went to the CZ-20's and 21's. I just didn't think it would work good in salt water. Thanks for the reply.
