Curious if anyone has any news about Canada receiving any units? I haven't heard anything yet....

it should be inducted into the Metal Detector Hall of Fame

really looking forward to the reports/videos of production units running the final SW in various sorts of dirt (and snow/ice). Should be fascinating and will allow the EQ-less to live vicariously through their efforts.

dang, 20 pre-orders = 1 EQ, and the dealer probably wants one, there goes any possiblility of my getting one, lol

couple gin and tonic's for me....then cancel my appointment with the shrink....

actually I'm from the North, lol I simply want Minelab to tell us what they're doing to deal with the shortage of units... transparency, and if they did so I'd shut up, lol

The 'fire storm' will only be out if Minelab recognizes the amount of interest in their new detector and seriously ramps up production...personally I see this getting worse and worse as a few finally get out and the reports (of just how good/versatile it is) begin coming out.... so the fire storm really begins next week and will build as folks see how few have actually been shipped out....we're talking very large Worldwide demand here folks... oh and Minelab, if you're listening, it's absolutely necessary to let us know exactly what you plan on doing to put this fire storm out....cheers....

"The Truth Is Out There...and It Hurts"

Minelab seems to be a master of obfuscation. Clearly they indicated they have been building units since December so, what, about 2 months of builtup units simply needing the final FW update....This would seem to translate into a lot of units ready by January....so what's holding things up and can we just expect a trickle of units to each dealer into the months ahead? A nice shot of clarification as to the production/shipping process would really help right about now... I can picture every employee there in Aussie land with a stack of units using their work computers to install FW updates, lol... If only a couple units arrive in Canada for the entire month of February (with no solid indication of a timeline for more units) this boy, for one, is going to be very pissed off....

good you did, Kruzers will hurt their resale ability (and price) also...

maybe it will become like the phone sellers whereby you'll get $50 tradein for 'certain' select models, lol

I for one need a Nox Detox...

Equinox wins the logistics battle vs the Deus hands down....+ the comparable cost battle...qed and I don't even have one yet. I never bought a Deus even though I could have had I so desired.

getting exiting, lol....I get my Social Security check tomorrow also so it will be a big day for me, haha

not if it's the "66", lol

definitely understandable! now go find that gold coin! I do think the forum and especially this EQ section will roll along nicely with less done on your part, if/when we actually get them, lol. also, that photo is fabulous. I'd much rather be there (or looking for nuggets) than dealing with xxxx here, lol, though for the most part we're a pretty good group of md'ers. your words did cement the notion of the EQ being a great detector, of that I have no doubt. and hopefully very soon we'll be getting some sort of official notice from Minelab as to where it stands on "getting them into our hands". cheers

kind of looks like the ruskie who's got that prototype put some sort of neoprene sock on it?

maybe we could all chip in and help poor Minelab ship them via air freight, lol the 'last minute' firmware changes might have botched things up is my guess but glad they happened. For Canada I'm guessing I get mine (will drive to my dealer locally) on March 1st cause we're Canada and we get everything late, costing much more or simply not at all, lol

Brandon (Dr Tones), a tester says the apple wireless buds work great and Apple doesn't support Apt-X

the same price in USD ('the peg') would then translate into more aussie $. they don't need to do anything... I believe there is a MAP price for dealers, nothing to say they can't ask for more, just not less (advertised). take a hot new car for example. you think the dealer will take sticker for it if there's a line outside? some pricks will try to price gouge on ebay once folks actually have them in hand, just wait, lol

the official minelab page for the 800 shows "carton contents" and 2 are shown

the what's included photo shows the wm08 getting its own cable. so 2 will suffice for me, 1 home, 1 car

I ordered these, have had them for a few days now and they're great (for music only so far).....only $30 from amazon.... Anker SoundBuds Slim+ Wireless Headphones Lightweight Bluetooth 4.1 Stereo Earbuds with AptX Superior Pure Sound IPX5 Waterproof Sports Headset with Metallic Housing & Built-in Mic

and there will be no cheap, 'lightly used' ones on the market either, lol

thanks for that Steve and congrats! 11" coil indeed, here's another vote for a 6" X 10" coil for Equinox. that's the coil size I use for park hunting bigger gold items than your nuggets, lol
