My first metal find was NOT in the ground.

i BOUGHT THIS TO USE AS A PRE-DIG PINPOINTER

It's not a Lesche, but very serviceable for me.

Wow! Congrats on find & family!

I didn't expect it to actually dig. I just want to scoop up loose dirt and pass it over the pinpointer, But I'm impressed with the strength of it. And for less than $3 shipped 2nd day FedEX, it's quite a bargain. If it can also dig--That will be a bonus. We'll see, if the good weather lasts 'til I have time to test it. I think it will also come in handy when the grandchildren want to help me dig. Much safer for them to use.

Aldi is selling a very nice digger shovel for only $8.

Welcome FlySAR! This is a great hobby for a retiree--Good fun, good exercise and you never know what you are going to find.

Welcome Gary! I'm pretty new here myself. It's a great site! Best wishes for future in your new state.

I like the way you think. One for each hand. But when will the small coil be available?

Wow 20 Amps! That must make your recharge time about 10 minutes.

Hey Jackpine! That''s really cool!

Speaking of savings, I estimate that over the lifetime of that rechargeable battery, I will save $200 in battery purchases. That makes the Equinox EXTREMELY affordable. I hereby authorize you to USE this argument when you justify the nox purchase to your wives.

I got mine from Brian at AK mining in Alaska. They give the 15% Veteran's/Military discount and also ship Fedex 2nd day for free. Great company! And they seem to get them in all the time. (800) 478-3444 (907) 277-1741 www.akmining.com/

I charge mine with a motorola 2 Amp phone charger:

I am so happy to have received my new Equinox 600. Maybe when the snow melts and it gets warmer I can get out and hunt with it. Here's the unboxing video I made:

I don't have an 800, but with my 600, the $10 Sownd aptx earbuds paired up easily and work just fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BMSF6P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yep, plastic shower cap keeps coil clean. 100 for $6 on ebay. Lately the ground has been muddy. Mud gets all over detector when I dig. I wrap it up to stay clean.

Can anyone who bought one verify that it is basically a lower cost LTD? Fisher's factory price for F75+ package is $899

I bought the red one for visability too and think It will be great also, though I haven't seen it in action. Mine arrived inoperable. I called Fisher, and they emailed me a fedex label for free return shipping. I sent it back for repair and they are now sending me a brand new one. What a great company: "Hello, I just called and left you a voice message, your new replacement F-Pulse will be shipping today via FEDEX tracking number 789917------. Thank you for being patient!

I made this video to address these concerns:

I got it from Brian at AK mining in Alaska. They give the 15% Veteran's discount and also ship Fed3s 2nd day for free. Great company! And they just got 6 more in: brian@akmining.com

Congrats on a good first hunt!
