"Gee , and when everyone said it couldn't happen.
Call Minelab and try to find out what the repair bill on your $800 detectors control head costs you since it's not repairable. I suggest you sit down and when you consider reselling it in the future consider the how that will affect a buyer's decision.
I think the most unbalanced part of the Equinox is most of the owners."
Glad he doesn't post here, but then we've got a few guys that sound like him.
Good on Minelab for being more than reasonable for a user's misuse.
Thank's , i balanced mine with a Plugger strait shaft, however i do exit the beach with a scoop, dog, and the Equinox upside down, thanks for sharing, good thread .
I had a problem with my 800's screen and had to send it in for warranty repair. I can honestly say it was the most pleasant warranty work I have ever had done on anything start to finish. I got a shipping label emailed to me. I shipped it out and had it back in my hands in like maybe 8 days from the day I shipped it. I got a call from the service center telling me what was fixed and the tracking number. I was impressed!
I lean mine against my truck while getting ready to hunt. Had wind catch it and make it fall. Caught it with my foot before it hit AC. Accidents happen.
