Mine was broke out of the box. Got it replaced under warranty.

1721 cut 2 reale

The 21 is on the back

I took the EQ 800 out today to a little colonial iron patch that my friend and I hunted a few weeks ago. We had both hunted it with our Deus and found a toasted copper and a bunch of tacks and flat buttons along with the normal small buckles etc. Today I went back with the EQ in field 1 and purposely hunted the same area I had hunted before. I was amazed at the number of targets I had missed before. No big targets but plenty of small buttons and pieces of brass. I tried field 2 for a little while but honestly it seemed to false more on the nails and was a little to "sparky" for me. The first good target of the day was this pretty piece of cut silver.

I think I am going to like this new machine.

Welcome to the forum Walter!

I try to stay neutral but AMDS was founded by myself and my school chum Dudley Benesch in 1976. After 35 years in business Dudley and I were ready to move on, but we did not want to see something we built for decades come to an end and we certainly did not want to put our very large staff out of work. We managed to create a leveraged buyout for the employees and the company has now been employee owned since 2010. Pretty cool I think and Brian Berkhahn there will bend over backwards to help his customers. I know for a fact they have more Equinox detectors in the pipeline than most others dealers due to the strong financial resources of the company allowing for a very large initial order. And being off the beaten trail - well, an option worth looking at. I will get off that soapbox now and leave it be. I am not here to sell detectors to people. That's Brian's job!

AMDS are good people to do business with. Contacted them (Brian) on the 21st of this month and got on the pre-order list for a Equinox 800. Today i got an email with the tracking number. They also honor the military discount.

Thats a good one!

Just got my out of stock email also......

Called them and canceled the order and the refund is in the works. 

Oh well.... Just have to wait a little longer. Was buying to use as a water machine so I can wait until the spring.

Good luck to those that have not gotten the backorder email.

I ordered on the 20th at 9:30 am Eastern time. The item shows shipped on the website but no tracking number. I have not received the back order email.
