Happy New Year Steve and thank you for the photos. It’s inspirational since there are so few Eq’s in people hands. Congrats on the beautiful silvers you saved from the ground.

I got my pre-order in with deposit back when it was announced. I was told That I was number 3 on the pre-order list. Sooo we will see. I’m wondering what makes this detector release so popular. For me, I had sold my Excalibur and needed a water machine and was already familiar with Minelab. Maybe the reasonable pricing I guess?

I try to be inconspicuous.

Ok, I see now that it can.

Can the handle be adjusted on the shaft to a different position? My apologies if I missed it somewhere. Thanks

I ordered one for the beach and shallow water that I live close and I’m hoping it will be a great replacement for the Excal I sold.

At least you got to the beach. Better luck next time Mitchel!

Thank you for the link Steve. One question, does the warranty start on the date pre-ordered or when it ships? There would be some missing warranty months if it’s on the preorder date.

I just found it at the Minelab site: 3 Year’s on control box and coil.

Hey Everyone, Just a quick question on warranty. How long is Minelab’s warranty on the Equinox 800? Thanks, BH

I pre-ordered the 800 on 10/11/17.

Stunning find of a lifetime, wow!

Seal Beach occasionally, Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach more often. I used to surf these locations so I like going there to detect and enjoy a few hours. Are you local AW?

Thanks Al for the welcome. Best of luck!

Congratulations on the gold and best of luck out there.

The lighter weight and speed is what I’m looking forward to as well. I primarily beach hunt so recovery speed is important. That and the lightweight will allow me to last longer detecting. Best of luck! BH

A 9” Coil for the Equinox would be nice.

I was thinking that as well Steve. I have read where they weighted the coil for more control. Hawaii sure would be fun.

I know what you mean about weight in the water. For me I’m so shallow (lol) in the water that I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Best of luck Daniel, on your purchase, should you decide to go with the Equinox.

Very nice find. Thanks for the pic!

Shot with a rifle at a 100 yards! I can see it now. Everybody lined up to take a shot at a lot of money. Very cool find with awesome history. Thanks for showing us Steve!

I have a Thumlers Tumbler too. Very well made in the USA. Good luck!

I’m very excited to get my hands on this detector and put it in the water. I also pre-ordered the 800 and was told I’m 3rd on the list so here’s hoping!

My Sovereign GT is the one I won't part with. My Deus with the HF coils is awesome on our SoCal beaches wet or dry, is lightweight and is as good as the GT at finding targets.

In SoCal when I'm having a pulltab kind of day I usually move in the direction of the swell or try another beach.
