Equinox Stand Will It Keep It Upright ?
relicmeister replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
If I think more of a stand is needed I will come up with a homemade solution, which seems like it would be easy to do. Actually, coming up with problem solving solutions is one of my enjoyments in this hobby. -
Thanks for trying the experiment,Steve I'm fine with at least 8 hours run time however you use the machine

AA Battery Extender For Equinox?
relicmeister replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Looks like it will power the nox for a few hours. Looks like a fine option. Will be using a 9000 mah charger as a backup -
Why So Many People Not Sure Of The Equinox?
relicmeister replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
The equinox will be the first detector I'm going to have from the moment of release. I knew from the time I first saw the detectival video that I would have one, even though I had to sell my Safari in order to have the funds early enough to be early on the preorder list. I'm looking forward to using the equinox while contributing to and following the user knowledge base, especially this forum. -
Why So Many People Not Sure Of The Equinox?
relicmeister replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Its good to see someone with your detecting experience and experience with every conceivable detector that is so enthusiastic about the equinox. -
Thanks, Steve. I will certainly be in the iron- laden spots much of the time, but not all. The fact that you like them says a lot, It is my preference to use the aptX and to keep a pair of lightweight wired headphones I can use if the aptX run out before I'm done detecting, I do want to try wired phones with the wm 08 module simply because I can, although I assume the module has limited charge time too. I'm really looking forward to being untethered to the EQ. I've never used anything but wired headphones. While on the subject, although I have no intention of using the detector speaker, I assume doing so would significantly shorten battery run time?

Why Would You Want The Equinox?
relicmeister replied to Mark Gillespie's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Why I want Equinox multi-freq. or separate-frequency. Depth with accurate ID fast and adjustable recovery adjustable tone breaks ground balance tracking wireless headphones waterproof, durability, lightweight to unmask good colonial targets in iron-strewn sites and all other terrain and to do more fresh water detecting. -

Survey: Whats Your Main Detecting Environment
relicmeister replied to relicmeister's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Thanks everyone for the great replies. I have two takeaways I. I am feeling a bit of site-envy after reading Randy's excellent post and 2. Based on many of the comments I'm thinking we may give Equinox a case of performance anxiety! Hopefully, the long arduous wait will soon be over, and we can move on from speculation to reality based postings -
The Equinox Your Pride And Joy A Case For It
relicmeister replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Well I'm installing a folding devise like I did for my f75, so I have a large duffle bag I use to store and carry detector to digging sites. The duffle bag has been customized to hold the folded detector plus short shovel and knee pads even finds- pouch. I can wear it like a backpack for hiking into spots in the woods. -
So rediculously funny! Makes me think of the 10 deutch Reich phennig coin I dug up at an old New Jersey farmhouse. So good As a matter of fact, I'm gonna watch it again. Bravo

I'm sticking with what Minelab said in theirDecember 23 announcement, and disregarding anything to the contrary that is not coming in the form of an official announcement.

Equinox In Wet Salt Sand. By Neil Jones.
relicmeister replied to Gerry Freeman-Smith's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Chris, I have a folding mechanism ready to install on my Equinox. I did it first on my f75 and it's awesome. It's a $40 part and takes an hour to install. Only adds 5 oz. to detector weight. -
Can I Be Critical Of The Equinox Here?
relicmeister replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Steve, it's precisely because I know you will be thorough and objective in all your postings and articles about the Equinox, that this will be my number one forum for all matters related to the Equinox. Further, I believe anyone that comes to this forum just to trash the equinox will be called out. I look forward to posting my own results and comments as I put my new equinox 800 into action. As I mentioned elsewhere in the forum, the equinox is the first detector I will be getting at first release, and I intend to be fully involved in the process alongside everyone else. -
As the arrival of the Equinox nears I know what forum I will coming to as we start using the Equinox in our main detecting locations. I'm curious what types of detecting environments people on this forum detect in. For myself I do a lot of woods hunting, celllar hole hunting with emphasis on colonial relics. I hunt fields whenever possible, and like to detect old parks and private permissions. Many of my best sites are iron/ laden and I'm hoping the EQX 800 will help unlock the finds I'm sure are still there.

After I got my recharge unit from amazon I found that it fit perfectly in an old garmin gps storage sleeve. I got the idea of mounting it under the equinox arm but to fasten it there I will probably drill small holes in the plastic underarm (stand) and use 4" black zip ties to fasten the holder there. Then when I need to use it for recharging I just have to slip the charger in connect the cable and I'm off and running. I suppose anyone can design and offer something creative, but usually I come up with something of my own to solve the problem. Minor modifications that enhance detecting are especially fun.

I bought already for backup power for the equinox a 9000 mAh charger that is about 21/2" x 31/4" x 7/8" and weighing 7 oz so I hope to attach a slip-in holder to the underside of the equinox arm rest so I'm not tethered to the detector when I'm charging on the run, and I'm hoping that placing it there will offset any nose heaviness in the overall balance. Well that's the plan, and I can also use the charger on the Bluetooth headphones if they run low during an outing.

What Will The Equinox Be Best At Finding?
relicmeister replied to mn90403's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
The equinox will be best at finding the great finds all the other detectors have been missing!
