Look guys, it's a Minelab. Don't worry about anything else. Just give Gerry your credit card number and someday something will show up. ?

Just poking fun at you Gerry - I have always admired your chutzpah.  I am pure introvert and what you do so hilariously in meetings... let's just say I am jealous of your larger than life personality! You are without a doubt the funniest metal detector dealer I have ever met.

Steve,  My chutzpah (this Marine had to look that one up) is all in fun when dealing with everyday people, and on occasion it is directed at certain manufactures.  When such folks ask for my opinion, I give the good and bad.  So many people have a hard time with the bad news.  I've pisses a many Detector Engineers off with a select few comments about their new baby (detector) because I gave the good and bad feedback.  In the long run, it is not me trying to be a dick (usually not anyway), but more importantly, be honest and striving for something "even better".  I won't use the term "perfect", as I have yet to find the perfect detector.  I will admit, the Equinox 800, is damn close though but not quite there yet.

People need laugh more and enjoy the life we live.  Today's society is so "I need it now, demanding", but at the same time, "walk lightly so you do not disturb".  It is hard to be both for me and yes I think 1 time (probably summer 1996), I offended someone, but it was just that 1 time (on that day).

Like you, I have enjoyed most of my life with a detector in hand and I really wouldn't want it any other way.  Most who have spent time with me, will tell you though, I am pretty much a straight shooter when talking detectors.  I've been fortunate to have made my share of outstanding finds and I also enjoy the challenge of a new detector and seeing what I can do with it.  

Hopefully a few folks will enjoy my style, but I realized I won't please everyone.

Glad I am able to put a "shitty grin" on your face once in a while and most appreciative of you allowing me to post on this fine forum.  

Lets go swinging...and we'll use a detector next time.

In the video you can actually see for a split second what the detector possibly looks like, well...lower left of it anyway. "Orange/Red plastic"

Better not be just that colour . Maybe thats the 340 and the 440 and 540 are different . Bit like the Terra's .

They aimed at Deus and shot it with a heatseeking explosive warhead firebreathing arrow.

I’ve seen lots of those single frequency Deus machines come up for sale. Personally know of a few guys who went Deus, CTX, Deus, Equinox and wouldn’t be caught dead swinging an XP nowadays.

Now they are aiming for the Garetts.

World domination one detector at a time ?

Frankly, unlike the Garrett AT series (or CTX for that matter), in my circle of detectorists, I am actually seeing very few folks give up their Deus' for the Equinox.  They are getting  Equinoxes, no doubt, but they are hanging on to their Deus's.  I think they compliment each other.

I swing both the XP and the Equinox and have equal and excellent success with both.  Just depends on the situation. Can't wait to see how Vanquish will fit into the picture (if at all).
