  1. Same here that is a great find. Thrill of a lifetime for sure
  2. Thats a great hunt. If you could do that every time you hunted you could move that retirement date up a bit.
  3. Steve is this generations EF Hutton. When Steve speaks, you better listen.
  4. I haven't hit the beaches in Ventura/Oxnard for two weeks. I was hoping that today's wind shift to an onshore flow might bring the surf up to grab some sand. I've been holding off going out there until I get my nox. Hopefully it will be soon. I'm supposed to get mine with this next shipment.
  5. Right but if i had bought one from them and paid while they were out of stock wouldn't they have filled my order first? I never completed the order but I went all the way to the point of entering my CC info on a couple of occasions in January.
  6. I'd say the pre-orders are over and now it's just simply a case of supply and demand. Most of us are still waiting for our pre-order but anyone who ordered after the release are now a product of capitalism at it's extreme. In hindsight the smart thing would have been to order from Cabelas initially and gotten on their backorder list. I think if I had done that initially I'd be swinging one now.
  7. So here's a stupid question. Where do old houses or old foundations fit in? What would you use to hunt an older home site? Park 1 or park 2 or would an old homesite require Field 1 or Field 2? Sorry if this has been answered before.
  8. The power of observation is not to be take lightly. I think when they finally find Fenn's treasure there will be much gnashing of teeth as it will likely have been hidden in plain sight. Great story and I hope to be on the end of cache before my time is up.
  9. It takes a real man to admit a mistake like that The first time I took the deus to the beach with the 9.5 on it I had failed to match the puck on my headphones to the coil. The problem was I didn't know I had to do that so I used the speaker on the remote. I hope to get my equinox sometime this week. Good to hear you are enjoying it especially on the beach. If it works for me like it seems to for everyone else I'll be thinning the herd again. At only $800 I think I'd like one to keep in each car.
  10. I thought it would be cool to encourage folks to share their finds big or small. It seems most only post their finds when it’s a gold ring or old silver but most days for me look like this. Today I got out to my ranch permission and after 2 hours I came away with these keepers on the Deus. The war nickel is a 43, 10 yen coin, a 1950 cinco centavo, a Pisces medallion, an old ring of unknown origin and 4 wheats.
  11. Unfortunately there will be bad units out of all the ones produced. Look at how many brand new cars need service two weeks off the showroom floor. I hope yours is just a freak thing that resolves itself as TNS has prescribed. Best to you
  12. That would be the irony of all ironies. Charging a customer restocking fees for an item that isn't in stock, has never been in stock nor is expected to be in stock anytime soon. That's like buying a lottery ticket for a dollar and then having to pay the store back $50 for losing.
  13. I'm on it now and the nox is still nowhere to be seen. That being said it'll likely be a daily thing of checking first thing in the morning.
  14. I'm number 3 so I'm crossing all extremities to ensure maximum power.
  15. Best gold ring was an 18k womens cocktail with 3 large diamonds. I don't remember the weight but then I didn't get to hold it long because it looked better on my wife's finger then in my hand
  16. My dealer texted me this morning and said he was to expect another shipment getting to him by Monday. If he gets the number he was told mine will be in the bunch and hopefully to me by next weekend. Good days ahead.
  17. I just went to the Cabelas site and tried to find the Equinox and it wasn't listed. I searched for it under "equinox", "minelab", and finally "minelab equinox." They listed 7 detectors from Minelab but none were the EQ. This to me strengthens the idea that when it appears again is when there is a new shipment.
  18. Having been a part of many forums over the years I have read countless posts from terry and watched him argue (politely and passionately) about his Tesoro's. Whenever anyone would ask a question about a beach detector Terry wasn't usually far behind touting his Tesoro Sand Shark. To see him write about the Equinox in this way is really astonishing. Also it's posts like this that just kill me a little bit on the inside as I wait patiently hoping my position at #3 now with my dealer(was #5 he got 2) will result in me being a part of the second wave.
  19. Many gold rings. I've found a bunch of silver coins over the years, spanish reales etc., but the best has always been gold rings. I'm getting the nox because I believe it'll be the tool in my tookit to get that done.
  20. Ya you don't look to good. Probably a good idea to take it easy tomorrow. The nox flu is a particularly bad strain. Once infected some people have been reported missing. Take care.
  21. Where's the snow? I thought Idaho had snow this time of year. That park looks like a great place to start your equinox career.
  22. Thanks Hibby I dug a Miller beer twist cap yesterday at a depth just beyond the length of my MI6 pinpointer. I thought it was surely going to be a standing liberty quarter at that depth. It made no sense at that depth as i've found a silver dimes in that same park at 4". It's another reason why i dig almost everything.
