I couldn't agree with you more Gerry. Being in North Dakota, it will probably be mid April before I can get out to do any worthwhile detecting; as such, I've decided to wait to order an Equinox since I know others are really chomping at the bit to get one now. If I was further south, you would not only have my money for the detector but a new pinpointer too. Hopefully by mid March there will be some available without a long wait.
