Whitbey Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 18 hours ago, phrunt said: Well, after going off getting an 800 I've decided to bite the bullet and get one. The real world tests are coming back much better than I expected, I figured there was going to be quite a bit of negativity due to how hyped up it was, that negatively just doesn't seem to be there. In saying hyped up I'm not saying by the people who already had access to one, it was hyped the most up by people wanting one! It seems it was worth the wait. I might just have to start doing some detecting other than gold prospecting to get the most out of it though, at least that can be done almost anywhere. Since you having your NOx soon in hands, maybe you can show us some field test on gold, would be very interesting to see how the NOx works on small gold nuggets in the field of production units, and also a test of the NOx versus Gold Monster would be very interesting. I see that you own a Gold Monster. Please show us a comparison test against the NOx! You will be the first one to give a test like this,since I don't see any test on gold nuggets anywhere yet.

My results are likely to differ to people elsewhere though as we have very mild soil here, even in our gold areas. Thanks PHRUNT, would be very interesting to see your test, even with mild soil, any test is better than no test! Looking forward to it, and I know , I will be not the only one!

I'm awestruck to say the least. Just can't believe what I'm seeing/hearing. I can't wait to see/hear what you have to say. Are you going to post it here?

Brushcreek Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 That is great as I always wondered if he would ever admit another machine was close to being as good as the Tesoro's, it is nice to know he is honest and willing to talk up another brand. Nice to see the Equinox getting positive reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Terry and I and some others have a similar problem. We are getting older and we have too many detectors. When I got my hands on Equinox I had the same epiphany as Terry - I just don’t need all these other detector’s anymore, and this one is lighter and more capable than all of them so time to simplify things. If I had to get rid of every detector I own but one, I would keep the Equinox. And that includes my GPZ 7000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't make that determination yet since I haven't yet had my opportunity with the Equinox. But knowing what I know so far and seeing what I have seen, and hunting what I hunt, I think I could easily get away with three detectors (GPX (deep relics in highly mineralized soil), Deus (travels lite, low profile, and ultra HF operation to 80 khz for thick iron and mid conductive relics), and Equinox (water, beach, and general purpose) to easily cover all my scenarios. After I get my Equinox will do your "If I could only have one" thought exercise and it will come down to either Equinox or Deus (GPX is too specialized and cannot be used at all under certain conditions, perhaps similar to the GPZ). We'll see which one it is in Culpeper this March (whichever one does best in thick iron with high mineralization will be declared the winner for me). But I'll still keep all three, lol (just like you plan on keeping the GPZ, Gold Monster, and Equinox, plus one or two others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now. That is just my insurance policy. At the end of this summer I will go to round two of my weeding process. Several more units will probably go away.
