Hi to all,
First of all my thanks to Steve for the detailed, very informative post which has enlightened me considerably. Like most hunters on this forum we are awaiting any news regarding the Equinox. In the meantime, I am using the Deus for inland detecting and the CS4PI for wet sand/bottom of tide searching. Never felt really confident using the Deus on the wet sand----always seemed to have lack of depth and missing potential targets so I opted for the PI for wet sand use. This machine has found thin fishing hooks at 14 inches , missing nothing which means some rather heavy scoop work !
Just hoping therefore, the Equinox lives up to the mark and turns out to be the machine to suit all types and conditions of detecting. A big order indeed. In meantime, until full reports from experienced searchers start filtering through, my two present machines will not end up on Ebay ! Good hunting everyone ! mossy99.
