    Equinox 700/900 lower rods now available...

    Hi all! I wanted to introduce our Equinox 700/900 lower rods, which are now available for $69 plus $11 shipping for a standard-length lower rod (22") or $79 plus $11 shipping for a "tall-man" lower, up to 26" in length. These lowers feature 100% 3K carbon-fiber tubes, in a matte/ribbed surface...

    My D2 Rod Assembly upgrade.

    THANKS, Dan, for the kind words, and to others who chimed in! Very much appreciated and I'm glad folks seem happy with the shaft! Steve

    Manticores first gold!

    Jeff, That's some pretty good hunting, Jeff. Noted your upper FE limit was pretty high/aggressive; looks like it helped tame the iron, while still allowing you to find the goodies hidden in it.. Nice! Steve

    900 Park 2 is really deep, but useless for me

    Some of the "design team" does, actually... Steve

    Equinox 700/900 ergonomics

    Yep, the 600/800 ARE nose-heavy (hence why I make counterweighting available). I still notice it on the MC, but I'm thinking it's just a little better than the EQX (cuff is positioned higher, and handle angle is different, which probably help a little). Ultimately, counterweighting would help...

    Manticore Protective Covers

    Got one for the Manticore (after owning one for my Equinox). Very pleased! Steve

    Balance

    THANK YOU for the kind words, and I'm so glad you are pleased with the design. Yes, there's alot of "thought" that went into that cuff design, and how it would affect "performance" (feel/balance) of the shaft overall. That, plus a focus on making the stand taller (so that it actually allows...

    Balance

    Hi all. Almost all detectors made today are nose-heavy/imbalanced, especially when swinging a large coil. That nose-heaviness affects each person differently -- some more, some less, and some very little at all. For those who ARE affected negatively by the nose-heaviness, a very good solution...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    I get it -- you didn't like my post, and you want me to adhere to your thoughts as to how I should make posts in the future. Got it. I'll keep that in mind from now on... Steve

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    Vlad, You are totally not getting my point. Perhaps what I was trying to illustrate in my original post did not come across well. You took what I was saying LITERALLY. I made it clear that I was totally shooting from the hip, just to make a point. And my ONLY point in doing so was to try to...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    Vlad -- Thanks for all of the great information! However, I think you missed my point. I am NOT an electrical engineer, and don't claim to be one. All I was saying was that the assumptions Merrill was making were far too narrow; there were many other possibilities as to what could be going...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    In the new video, Mark Lawrie verifies that there is 50% more power sent to the coil for transmission. BUT -- as he clarified previously, that does NOT translate to 50% more depth; it's not a linear relationship. Instead, 50% more transmit power equates to about 10% more depth, according to...

    First month with the Manticore.

    Dan, that is a TON of digging, and plenty of good stuff there, too, as a reward, INCLUDING the 14 pounds of lead! :) You are learning your machine quite well, given all those targets! Steve

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    My take on this is that most of us are not electrical engineers or physicists, and so we have no idea what is going on in the inner workings of these detectors. I saw that video, and the logic he uses; one thing I can say is there are reasons he may not be correct -- things he's not...

    Manticore meets a lady

    Jeff -- whew! Definitely a nice save, then, on a coin that was ALMOST rendered forever "unrecoverable!" #3 bell, with clapper. VERY nice! :) Steve

    Manticore meets a lady

    Jeff, SWEET! I love seeing those Seated coins recovered from their long "dirt naps!" The buckle is very nice/ornate, and crotal bells are always welcome! Steve

    Epoxy recommendation for coil ear fix

    revzoom, Here is a technical comparison, from 3M Corporation's website, comparing DP420 (left side) with the DP125 Gray that I suggested. Note that as you scroll down, and get to the part where it discusses substrates. ABS and vinyl, the two materials that the OP is wanting to bond, are...
