I do not know why the Equinox is so good at this? It is not only nails, but round targets as well. Where I hunt there are coins with a ferrous and non-ferrous mix. I can identify them at fringe depths 95% of the time. It is not only the double beep, but also the breakdown of response. It is a two-prong approach. For those fringe targets that do not double ring, they might have a serious breakdown of response in a 360 degree look. Non-ferrous targets will NOT have a breakdown of signal response on a 360 degree look.

Can't remember it I ever had a three-gold ring day!!! Outstanding!

I only beach and water hunt and never use the pinpoint button. Just a waste of time. With some practice of X-ing the target, recovery is easy on the discrimination mode.

However, I understand new generations. 🤪 If rocky, hard shell outside would be my choice!

I usually let the women wear the knee pads.....😂

That is a large array of stuff!!! Good work on the small targets!

I have no idea. Not even sure it works out of the Equinox 800 Beach 2 mode.

Lots of hard work there!!! Good job on the gold!

If you have a coil cover on>>>>Take it off and clean it. Don't ever put it back on.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Saw this older post. Unfortunately, Hurricane Hillary put a stop to our testing. It will be a while before this testing might happen.

I am hesitant to answer. Discrimination to discrimination Deus 2 wins. The Equinox can work magic when targets cannot TID. An Equinox will beat the Deus 2 every time with single or double beeps off the coil. The Equinox has the advantage in Black Sand too. This is another case of knowing which detector to use when!

I think, time to order a replacement battery.

As a salt beach hunter, I don't think you will be able to use the gold program at all under water. You are correct that the Beach Sensitive program is the only salt mode that has a good shot at chains! I think you should try one different adjustment. First if you're trying to hunt with 95 sensitivity under water>forget it. I cannot even hunt the wet sand in my location at 95 sensitivity. In my testing the D2 did not lose depth until sensitivity 88. I would try keeping your Audio Response at 6 and turn down sensitivity to achieve hunt ability. I am 100% confident an Audio Response of 6 and a sensitivity of 88 will out hunt an Audio Response of 4 and sensitivity of 95 on fringe targets. You will also get a sharper response on small open gold chains. The point I am trying to make> There is no need to overdrive sensitivity to achieve good depth. Another point>Threshold. Running a threshold can amplify crap sounds. I do not see the reason to run ANY threshold. Running a threshold may be a self-defeating adjustment, especially in saltwater conditions.

Yes X-2 Also, after much testing> I recommend keeping Audio Response at 6 and adjust detectability with sensitivity!
