with free shipping?

will be interesting to see how fast the noise cancel is, sounds like a faster (+ more powerful) processor to me....which will veto any possible software update for the current models...

yowza, Mark originally said shipping in November, he was right. I just hope some of the US shipment goes to Canada (Toronto specifically). Manual should be online pretty quickly also I'd suspect...

I hope there's a SW update that goes with a HW update (for original EQ's)

2nd (and real 'shipping') release of M-core....

deja vu all over again...I remember these same questions from the Equinox boondoggle lol

Etrac was a fabulous release. I read about it and boom, I had one in my hands on September 10, 2008 here in Canada. I used it for 3 months as often as I could till the ground was frozen. Did extremely well with it from the 1st time out. ground is frozen here now, so won't be able to use my new M-core till mid-March or so....sigh....

this is similar to my situation with my current motorcycle (Honda CB500X) purchased March, 2021. I always want (salivate over) various new ones that come out! but it just isn't practical especially here in Canada (various egregious dealer fees, very high insurance fees and Canada even charges 13% tax on used motorcycles, pretty bad.... but dang the new ones are very nice, lol.

etrac! was using an explorer and always did poorly with it, it just never clicked. the etrac was a revelation!

also, in my case since I end up going to the same spots over and over I like simply getting rid of trash...

nice finds, I really like finding those wartime tombac V nickels with morse code, “We win when we work willingly”. you should be able to find silver dimes deeper than 6".

well, glad I'm not alone on this. I'll just go back to direct plugin. I really hope the 'proprietary' wireless phones for the Mano'war will be an improvement.

decided to try the wm08 wireless module again on my EQ. fully charged it and kept it in a pouch around my waist to keep it close to the EQ head unit. Getting this annoying signal clipping going on. If I plug in the phones directly nothing....sound is great. I'm running 50 tones. Anyone else seeing this sort of issue? wondering if I have a faulty wireless module.

but I simply can't help myself being inexorably sucked in to the new 'Manhood' marketing hype....I WILL BUY ONE

My Equinox charges up overnight in my car. The hatchback area has a cover (for security) and a 12V socket. If you're car camping you could do the same. The EQ800 comes with 2 charging cables so that 1 can be left permanently attached to the 12V to usb adapter in the back of my car. also, Mark mentions in one of the videos that 9 hrs would be 'best case', with the 'high power' modes drawing down the batteries quicker. If it were me I'd keep a 20,000 mah brick in my pants pocket with a usb extension cable to the EQ charging cable (taped down with masking tape). Funky but you'd be able to finish up a long day.....

yep, expensive here in Canada also but as with my previous Minelab's I'll be able to pay for it with finds. the gold rings I've found so far this year will be good for > $1000 (cdn) of the purchase price ($2079 + 13% tax) in melt value. The rest could be made up from clad finds, as we have $1 and $2 coins here. This isn't taking into account the ability to sell my EQ800 for probably 65% or so of the purchase price if necessary. I will also get the 15% military discount. Regardless, taking the 'Beast' (which is how I'll refer to it) out to my well hunted sites will certainly lead to a lot of fun/pleasure which I would call priceless...cheers

I believe the large red bar under the TID indicates the 'negative' value...

how about 'Manacle' cause you're going to want to be using it all the time...

nice 'Mandible', kind of reminds me of "Jaws"

and Canadians also!

Excellent post Steve, I'll be holding off (buying D2) for sure since I don't even detect the fresh water lakes where I live! I was running Park 2 @ 40Khz last season with my EQ with some good success and will simply continue with that. Reality is I was simply 'blinded by the light' as the song goes... looking forward to the 'thaw' to get out detecting again this season. Like'n the 5x10 on my EQ btw, it's a winner.

After many years of 'admiring' the Deus but turned off by the high price here in Canada, I've already decided to 'bite' on the Deus 2 (with 9" coil). BTW, it'll cost $2100 + 13% up here, ouch! I like that it's a better Deus 1 (Deus 2 Mono program) AND an SMF machine that will get a lot of SW updates over the months/years to come. It's ergos/light weight speak to me... I should be able to spend more time moving it around before tiring. Being new, it will allow me to visit every old (can you say exhausted) spot within a 40 minute driving radius of my home and I 'probably' will be able to find a few more keepers, well, just because it's new and I'll be trying different programs/settings with it. Should be fun which is what it's ultimately all about, eh...and as I long as it can sniff out loonies and toonies, it will eventually pay for itself (faster if I can find a few gold rings!). cheers all from the frigid north (hopefully the new Deus won't be delivered by truck, lol)

you're going to like it Buzzard, just run park 1 with stock settings for awhile and go to all of your 'old' sites... good luck...

not interested in the 6 or big coil.....I'll buy the 6x10 as soon as it's available!

congrats! posts like this are bound to bring a lot of conversions from other mfg'ers detectors... and etrac/ctx users, lol
