I came across a deal that’s to good to pass up! As much as I like the Equinox, I miss the information that the Ctx has. Especially the rock solid ID and the digital depth readout. I feel that in my soil the Ctx was a tad deeper on silver. I do feel like I dig more aluminum junk with the Equinox but that’s just part of it I guess. With the Ctx you can do a little more selective digging. I am still keeping the Equinox 800 and I think this will be a killer combo!
