IMO NOTHING outperforms an FBS machine at a polluted park looking for 6-10" coins. I would use what works best for you, at the sites you hunt. General consensus is (and always has been) FBS and FBS 2 is still probably the best choice for deep coinshooting in trashy park type scenarios. Now is the time to buy! People are offloading FBS for the equinox at crazy cheap prices! I do think they will regret selling the FBS in the latter though
I hope this isn't offending..."Have you actually detected with an Equinox in your "drained-out", left alone, trashy parks yet?" I will not sell off my Etrac and Explorer, BUT, in my experience so far, the Equinox rocks at 6-10 inch, missed targets, where I have hit hard with the FBS.
I simply can not see FBS separating near as well on 6-10" targets, in trashy, spots, like the Equinox does, AND FAST!
FBS, especially my Explorer SE, will always be in my house, ready to go on those less trashy, less hunted areas. Nothing(hardly) beats it for depth and that warble tone it is known for, except in real trash and separation.
Each have a special purpose, and I am happy to own each. I do use the Nox exclusively these days. My hunt spots have been left alone by others, but the Equinox finds me stuff we all missed
