Minelab GT Sovereign and Excaliber. All metal pinpoint mode is a beast mode. Equinox Horseshoe> Deeper than disc mode.

They can't even update the D2 out of test mode.

I just do not get my advice from a beach hunter that does not own a scoop! 🤣

OUCH>>>

Yes, you have issues...........

I am in Salt Water too. Well your bottom must be highly mineralized. To make a long story short> The D2 does work well in highly mineralized areas. With your mineralization and Salt it will make chain detection very difficult. I doubt more reactivity will help and I do not see any of your settings that would make much difference if changed. Also for the record I have found the Equinox to work better in high mineral conditions >Sorry. But! As a try....Make sure you're in magnetic sand reject. Anything over 1.5 reactivity will hurt, but if you can up the sensitiyity at 1.5 try it., Also try tracking Ground Balance. Turn your iron volume down to one. Like anything else sensitivity is important. Test a target you have found in the past. Also try Beach Pitch it may cut those minerals with better frequencies to find gold. But it also might be more unstable.

Awesome job! Got to admit when I saw happy ending in the title> Thought it was going to be something different 🤣

Manticore...... Will It Leak Video From Gigmaster
midalake replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
Anyone who is a serious beach hunter has had those screws that clamp to the shaft fail. There is no way that style of mount can take repeated torque and resistance from wave wash. I don't care what shaft is on the Equinox. All three machines that worked where I am failed. -

XP Deus 2 Vs Minelab Manticore
midalake replied to vive equinox's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
What a horrible test. With ZERO usable information! These two had both those detectors on AND too close. I really need to get my resume in to be a company tester. -
How long are we going to be Guinea Pigs? WHEN will a 1.0 software come out???????

I am one that thought the Equinox balance was fine. The washer on top of the grip gives you lots of control. I had one of the original Doc's CF shafts and have been beach hunting this way for over 20 years.

Guessing the razor blade has to do with lines of cocaine.

New XP Master - Deus II For Half The Price?
midalake replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in XP Deus II Forum
Try to take that puck in and around water............ -
I don't know how anyone can hunt without a light pair of diving gloves. Been water hunting with gloves for 25 years. 👍

I saw it too. It surprised me, this was the first I have seen all of this cracking around the charge ports. Maybe other can chime in if they had problems in this location. -
I run holes slightly larger than 9/16. If you wash the sand out of your scoop [like I do] any hole's smaller take too much time or are not effective at all. Yes, a few small items might slip through. If I think there is a small target, I walk it up the beach and dump it. I see everyone using 1.5 mm thickness. Not all stainless steel is created EQUAL>>>>Quality metal makes a difference! HH
