    $1000 fine for going to the beach...

    The recent "hurricane" that hit Tampa Florida and the west coast of Florida, there were government employees saying on TV and radio that in order to be prepared for the "hurricane", you need to get the covid kill shots. What each one has to do with the other is just beyond me.

    Equinox counter weight

    Hi Tony! You might find that putting a 14 inch rod into the back end may be enough as the weight of that rod is behind your elbow and exerts a lot of leverage. The weight of a 14 inch long 3/4 inch cold rolled rod is 1 lb. 9 oz. I painted the rod and then coated it with rubber...

    Equinox counter weight

    I was reading some of the posts about adding a counter weight to the Equinox to allow for an easier swing of the coil...especially the 15 incher. I had already purchased from Steve's Detector Rods the carbon Fiber shafts for the Equinox....and they are a great for sure. I did not order the...

    Equinox 800 & headphones

    Of course bluetooth does not work when under water....so......wired is the only way to go when hunting in chest deep water. The very best headphones I have ever used are from Tony Eisenhower. He builds a set of headphones that are far better than the Minelab wired or the Grey Ghosts. They are...

    Help me choose a pinpointer.

    I know this is an older post...but a lot of people ask this question. I have used many pin pointers.....and the one that I have right now.... is the Vibraprobe 585. It is PI. It is unidirectional with only the tip being able to detect unlike so many others that have detection along the whole...

    Making the Minelab Equinox even more waterproof

    Seeing how it has a 3 year warranty.....and I usually use my detectors for about 4 to 5 years and then get a new one or more.....I think I'll just use it without modifying it. I do a lot of salt water hunting and I'll sure be a worse case scenario for the Equinox 800. I did find out...

    Sealing the Equinox 800

    That Nokta Makro looks interesting but I have to question the statements in their pre-release postings that they "plan to match or exceed" the Minelab 800. I like their plans for batteries...and I hope it is totally waterproof.....and we all know that Nokta makes some really great detectors. I...

    Travelling to Florida looking for info

    Stay out of the water along the treasure coast. There is a lot of legal stuff going on with leases and if they catch you in the water at all, you will most probably get a visit from some government employee. My best finds in Florida were not in the most popular beaches. They were the beaches...

    Sealing the Equinox 800

    Posted on the modifications area also.... I have not tried this yet. Seems to make sense. I would have covered the speaker a bit differently though. Has anyone done this to their Equinox? I do a lot of water hunting and want to make sure I don't have to send my NOX in for repairs like a hear a...

    Making the Minelab Equinox even more waterproof

    I recently watched a video on YouTube...... It seems that you can make the Equinox even more resistant to water incursion by putting some silicone caulking over a vent hole that has a piece of paper over it that is located on the handle mount. They also taped shut the speaker opening and put...

    Any regrets?

    I've always hunted by sound. Excaliburs (I wore out three of them) and many PI's made me do it. The E-trac made me a bit lazy...it was too good with the visual ID! I got pretty good at I'ding targets by the sound but it was not the machine....it was me being one with the machine. It became my...

    Whites Detectors

    I have family members that live in Oregon. They say different. Very bad situation in Oregon. Control freaks are in charge there and they are shutting down businesses due to the beer bug. Taxes are high and no end in sight...

    Whites Detectors

    The problem they have is the communist state of Oregon where White's was located....a very bad place to do business and makes it almost impossible to do business there.

    I went Wireless on my F-75

    I did something I did with my White's V3i to my Fisher F-75....I added wireless headphones. Specifically Sennheiser RS160 digital wireless headphones. These worked so well with my V3i that I decided that the F-75 could also benefit from them. There is no lag because these have Kleer technology...

    Rob (IL) is retiring from here due to some people complaining that you can't post comparisons on here. That's not Rob. It's me. We have a Metal Detect

    Rob, I apologize for complaining. I was having a bad day and it was not your fault. After thinking about it, you were right. Sorry. Finders.......

    Video and why the V3i is so good

    That's why there is so little on here. I'm gone. Everyone have fun and go out and find some gold.

    Video and why the V3i is so good

    Yes, the F75 is a great machine. My friend who has one always complains about EMI and maybe that is what was causing his problem with not seeing the gold chain. He had to adjust the 75 down so much in order to get it to stop going nuts from the EMI and RFI which could have been caused by power...
