FYI, heard the waterproof headphones and 6" coil for the Equinox will be shipping to Minelab this month and Minelab will then ship them out to the dealers.
The 15 coil , that is what i need, the 6 just like the CTX3030 is the last to get, after market headphones are out now, or better said private parties making them, basically not getting both the 6 and headphones now. thanks anyway for the news, Earl
Why would you want a bigger coil? Large coils tend to miss smaller gold objects and in your case small diamond rings that you would be searching for in the wet...
Its gonna be the same as the CTX coil which is the size of a hockey puck. May work good at your beaches? Used the ctx one beach hunting and don't think it ever paid for the shipping cost of the coil
Larry.. Earl wants a 15 inch coil... large coils are not very sensitive to small gold like studs or small gold rings...
only thing the 6" is good for is high trash parks and gold fields. You'd be challenged to try to get much at a beach unless you are in heavy erosion and in the rocks/bottom layers.
My CTX with the 17" goes DEEP and it finds very small items.. Now on the other hand, last week I was hunting with the NOX 800 and the stock coil. I found the SMALLEST silver EVER! And it was 4 straight down, full scoop digs with a 920ix in the wet sand. I was amazed and not much amazes me! Im impatiently waiting for the 800's 15" coil. I'll be all over that. That and a more sturdy shaft.. Stocker is junk.
Aqua..... where did you see the 600 have waterproof phones? I thought they were just land phones....."Wired headphones that connect to any standard 3.5mm / 1/8-inch jack". Have they started using the YELLOWS on the 600?
