32 Generous of you Chuck.

Isn't this silver-on-edge anomaly something that could be solved with a software update if in fact it turns out to be consistent?

rookie question(s): 1. what does this mean? Advanced = Tone Pitch t 1...7 , t 2.....23 2. Same question: Adv = Volume Tone t 1 ...1 (or 0 if you dont want to hear iron) t 2 ...25 I am ducking as I am sure it is probably easy to figure out but I couldn't...

Good questions. Now watch this...here comes the calvary with answers.

"...it is up to dealers to make it work..." I like it.

...and Steve that's why I said best "customer" report...Your reporting is as forum head and moderator (in case there was any question).

The best-written customer report I've read sofar. Between your writing and "Dirtfishing's (and others of course), videos, we are getting huge benefits from the kinds of experience it takes years to accumulate. Many thanks.

Isn't the short answer that ML did not expect the level of EQ popularity and perhaps they had a last minute code modification? The amount of complaints is kind of funny. Detectorists always say patience is so important. Hope everyone is out detecting in their favorite EQ mode soon. And thanks for all the contributions of videos that we can watch and learn from in the meantime.

Nice going Mitchel, that was fun to read.

I agree 100%, intent is all...

I am registered with Minelab but not signed up for the newsletter.

This is an optimistic article for us gold hunters to look through. It looks as though the Equinox may do quite well if used in the right conditions and areas. It has it's own language and it'll be fun to learn to translate it.

Yup I got the same e-mail yesterday (Wednesday).

Admittedly the technology is over my head, but after reading about it, seeing what it can do and when that wonderful intuitive sense we get every once in awhile kicked in, Equinox was an obvious choice. It's going to be an exciting learning curve with lots of teachers here to point the way.

Thanks for the encouragement, I will have plenty of questions when I get mine. I have only operated a PI detector since 2003 - based on my experience before that, the technology changes for this kind of detector is off the chart.

Dirtfishing, that was a near-perfect explanation. It probably would have taken me months to discover what you just showed in 7 and a half minutes. Thank you for taking the time.

That last sentence is an eye-opener Steve.

I agree with the posts above; That was a much-needed comment. Just think of all the hard feelings and confusion that would have been mitigated if Minelab had simply put out a post clarifying why deliveries are delayed. I am sure we all would have understood. This is a smart customer base.There's nothing worse than not keeping customers (and dealers), in the loop. It is hard to fathom why they continue to not be able to change that aspect of their marketing.

Thanks for putting this up. Very interested in learning more.

Hi Vez, When my kids were young, they thought tooth fairy brought gold nuggets. Have fun.

I would just say Chase, don't lose your enthusiasm, it is contagious and welcome. That, along with your obvious level of expertise, is what makes this website as good as it is.

I like that questions are set out so we can answer them as we get information, but separate threads for questions are better, otherwise the answers will have an all-in-one thread get confusing pretty quickly.

Skate, you rock.

Have been reading about the newly discovered Mayan city found with LiDAR in Guatemala. A pretty incredible find in the middle of a jungle area completely missed by archeologists. LiDAR surely will open up a lot of interesting areas of discovery. An interesting explaination of LiDAR: also, although this is England, it shows how LiDAR has a direct application to detecting.

the thing that had me bugging my eyes out was the response on that tiny piece of gold. whoa...
