15 hours and still 1 bar

[WaterWalker]

Went out today for 3 hours with two bars showing after 12 hours in the water with GG Amphibian wired headphones.
At home now and still have 1 bar and solid operation.
No back light or wireless used. All detecting in Beach 2.
Some one mentioned about Gold modes in salt water...forget it!

Maybe as I am so "rough" with my toys, this replacement is a camouflaged Equinox 1000 and I am the test bed for the all new that is yet to come.
I just can not believe all the targets my other 3 water detectors have been missing. The Equinox owes me nothing after the first 15 hours in the water! Another 75 hours with it in the water and I will know if it will be my "go to" detector. The biggest physical feature that I must get used to is the control panel above my hand while detecting. My scoop loves to knock it out of the way so I get my hand into its bucket. My problem and the scoop will teach this old dog a new trick. My scoop taught me how to hold the ATX by pushing its buttons while I was looking into the scoop for the target. Boy was that fun figuring out what happened to the ATX when I went to swing it again.
