Equinox Or Impulse AQ Florida Beaches

[harivney]

Thinking ahead. Will be moving closer to Clearwater and St Pete Beach Florida later this year. What metal detector would you choose for wet sand and shallow wading - an Equinox or Impulse AQ (assuming its available)?. Based on what I have read, it seems Impulse is supposed to find gold rings that Equinox has missed.

The 800 is very good for any situation that may arise and with the latest update just can be beat in my opinion.

That was the main reason I purchased the 800 in the first place, and I am glad I had.

Hope this helps.

It will be interesting to heat from buyers of the AQ in FL when they get them. I have several experienced FL beach hunters on my list. So far, none of them have received a unit.

For raw depth, the AQ should beat it handily, even in very low mineral sand. The overall utility of one vs. the other will depend on the specific characteristics of the beaches, targets of all types and hunters' preferred techniques of operating.
