PHOOIE…. ok…thanks for the quick reply …..

Does anyone know if the GARRETT PRO POINER Z-LYNK WIRELESS is compatible with the Equinox 800 & 900 ?

Thanks for the advice….gonna get the carrot !

I’m thinking of getting a new PINPOINTER….which would be the best to get ? Th MINELAB 35 ?…the GARRET AT PRO ?….or some other brand ? … I do mostly beaches and Tot Lots on occasion….thanks for the help….Al

After doing a little research, I bought a bottle of LOCTITE EXTREME GLUE … I smeared a small swipe of it onto a peice of cardboard and after several minutes of dry time, scanned it with my GARROT CARROT to see if there would be any form of metal in it…. None detected… then I tried my Nox 800 with again NO DETECTION… I used this EXTREME GLUE to affix the coil supports unto 2 of my coils… I’ve NOT noticed any difference in the detecting ability of either coil…..

Thanks for the info….. I’ll get sum …I hope Home Depot has sum… if not, then I’ll go to a Marine place in REDONDO BEACH……the tech at MINELAB didn’t have any suggestions…. Thanks again…

I have 2 coils for my Equinox 800, the normal 11 inch and the 15 x 11 coil…. I have the aftermarket coil supports and would ask if there is a 2 part epoxy glue that could be applied to fasten these coil supports to the coil WITHOUT causing any interference with the coil’s performance ?…. Or maybe use CRAZY GLUE ? … thanks for helping…Al

Ok….yes, sign me up for 2 please…..

When these shafts become available, what will your approximate cost be ? I’ll be interested in 2 of them …

I just stopped dithering and bought the EQUINOX 900…. now I just hafta learn how to use it…. I’m looking for 2 lower carbon fiber shafts ( the shaft that the coil attaches to )…changing coils on this 900 is a chore…the shafts for the 600-800 will NOT work as they are a different diameter….I’ve contacted several dealers with NO results and have left several messages on Minelabs voice mail, but have had no reply from them….any ideas will be most appreciated….

I’m looking for an after market COIL SUPPORT for a COILTEK 10X5 EQUINOX coil…. I just finally bit the bullet and found one…. I’d like to put a coil support on this coil to hopefully not break the tabs too soon on it…. Does anyone know where a coil support for this coil can be obtained ? ? ?………thanks …..Al

Ok...now that I’ve taken this ProFind 35 out 4 times, is there a way to INCREASE the volume on it? ? ? I can barely hear it.... I’ve looked at the paper that came with it and looked at the skimpy manual online, but neither says word one about how to turn up the volume.... anyone got any suggestions/ ideas on how to get it done ? ? ? ....Al

I ordered the MINELAB ProFind 35 and got it this last Monday and have taken it out twice...... all in al, in all, it’s ok.... still gettin use to it....... at this point, to me, it seems the Garret Carrot AT is easier to use.... but time will tell......... Al

No offense meant by my comment about doofus..... I was talking about me being the doofus.... sometimes I can’t see outta one eye or look outta the other.... never mind how many times I clean my glasses.... Al

I can only think of 2 things that might cause this delima....do you have a screen protector on it.... I do and have NO problems with the screen.... the 2nd would possibly be a defective screen.... the only REAL problem is with the “ dufas “ looking at the screen....you might wanna try a screen protector, or if you have one on it, try replacing it with a new one....Al

I’m considering getting a new pinpointer......every manufacturer claims “ theirs “ is the best.... what are your opinions ? ? ?

Before I got a compatible set of wireless headphones, I paired my hearing aids to my NOX, but found it drained the batteries on the hearing aids quickly (. about a half hour )... the Apple earbuds may have the same problem.... Al

Since I put the 15 inch coil on my 800, I’ve noticed the balance is now NOSE HEAVY....is there a fix to balance it out...ie not be so NOSE HEAVY....??

I’m still checking the 15 out... I’ve put it on my 800 .... I’ve noticed the added weight and become tired more quickly.... and the balance is off.... I’ll figure out something on the balance issue.... Al

I’ve taken the 15 inch out several times now, but the beaches here have been WELL picked over.... been to several parks with it, but haven’t made up my mind about it.... will try it again later in the year when more ppl start going to the beaches.....

I’m wondering which Equinox ( 600 or 800 ) would be the better for my use for what I do here in So Calif... mostly Beaches....any thoughts ? ?

Yeah....there is a "passel" of detectorists here.... fortunately, we haven't heard up on each other.... yet... Al

Thanks for the info... it's supposed to get here by the 15th.... impatiently wating.... Al

Thanks everyone for your replies.... I’ve ordered the 15 inch coil last nite..... supposed to be here by the 15th.... will then take it out for a run..... thanks again all..... Al

Thanks for the comments.... this helps throw a brick on the DONT buy side....Al
