Well Said Scuba
I can relate to what you said, went on two hunt's, i won't post because i didn't find gold, Charging up the Equinox 800 now, it's not about what machine you swing, what you find, if you find gold, or not, it's about having fun, i might add one more thing, don't disrespect a hunter for the scoop he uses, test's, own's, wins, given, or buy's, it's what he want's to use, regardless of what you , or other's think , have a good trip, have fun, and wish you a safe trip back, happy hunting , Earl PS pass it on to Chuck, the last two hunt's, i used the 920IX, i like all scoops, if i don't like it i sell it, bottom line.
