Spectacular one day hunt!!! 👀

An update out of beta testing would be nice too.

My buddy is finally getting his in Mexico. It is the first batch for this dealer, and they are getting 13 of them.

Wowzer........

I have moderate black sand. Ran 80% of the beach today with sensitivity at 22-23. Two spots I had to drop to 19. Now if one charges into that condition like a raging bull there might be a possibility the machine is not caught up. But in reality, who could hunt a spot like that going fast anyway? Surly not anyone looking for performance. Today alone, I had two of the tiniest targets. So small I could not even find them after finger sifting for 5 minutes. Just left them. My point is: For 4 years I have never "lost" a target I heard originally with the Equinox in tracking. Now granted, I use a very quality set of headphones with ambient sound control. Does it make a difference? Don't know? I just report the facts as I see/hear them as well. I know this was brought up a short time back and I did do a ground grab one day and ran it for a few hours. Frankly, I did not see any change in performance. Conditions include: Wet sand, wet sand water contact, and wave wash. That day I also had a fringe small target found in Tracking. Did a ground grab on it and I had no noticeable difference in target report. If I get a ho-hum day, I will try a ground grab again. I will also do one in those nastier black sand concentrations I have.

This has not been my experience. EVER! If I heard it the first time, I could do 5 360's around it and not have one issue to recover. ALL I do is hunt in tracking! I have also hunted with three different pod and coil combos. Also, the 15" coil which I have NEVER experienced a "lost" target do to tracking GB. Sometimes I swear the 15" coil is better on small targets than the 11". The 15" coil always amazes me! Feel free to show me one Utube Vid that proves me wrong!!!!

This statement is 100% false in ANY beach mode!

Are The Minelab Manticore Users Just Beta Testers? Not ANYWHERE near what Deus 2 users are!

LOL> It is black "so you don't have to worry about that discoloration." Well, that "discoloration" is the inside wire being eaten up by salt water. Now I cannot monitor it>>>great! Guess I have never been the out-of-sight, out of mind guy.

There is fact to your thinking. Sometimes I back out of a difficult target [like in the wave wash] let the Equinox settle down. Do a noise cancel and then reengage the target.

Some chains are too small to detect. I have little foil here, so 1 and 2's for me are gold chains or small pendants. Iron Bias 6 or below will not affect the reading of a gold chain.

I have the antenna wire from coil to remote in the CF rod. For what it is worth the last part to the remote goes through my metal hand grip. I have not had signal issues. Will post a pic tomorrow.

I have my antenna permanently mounted and up the center of my CF rod. NO ISSUES with signal. Including waist deep water and very forceful wave wash.

No, they were scattered over the two-mile stretch.

A hunt from a few days back. Quarter in pic for size comparison. Going out for the 8th hunt today and after their gold brothers!

Nope>>>>

Detecting Dodads stuff is junk...........

Fantastic finds!!! Way to go!!! Have to have a margarita to celebrate that 5-peso gold coin!!!

Outstanding>>>You guys are ripping it!!

Yes, with Horseshoe mode on. It may sound great except for one angle. That target is 100% ferrous unless your TID says different. Non ferrous targets near the surface have the ability to double ring. Not to worry, your numbers will tell you to recover. Anything at depth that double rings is ferrous! You will still get tricked in digging a few ferrous targets here and there that beat that system. Yes, with Horseshoe mode on.

Outstanding!!!! Your Equinox is purring like a kitten!

Awesome story and find!!!!!

I do not exactly have the perfect conditions at the beach here. I could just about run the Tarsacci wide open. So clearly, the audio would be fixed. I would like to see MORE POWER!

No. It means you located the center of the target and keep sweeping over the target as your body rotates around the target 360 degrees.

Iron Bias.
