My New Gold Slayer, Equinox 800

[scubadetector]

Got my new toy ready for diving this summer. (If it ever comes!)

I have already made sure having the coil so close to the unit doesn't interfere much if any. I had to turn the sensitivity down to 20 from 22 close to my house. Maybe not in the water. I have two places this setup should work flawlessly. However one of them I might need a smaller coil to get through the weeds. I think the 6" will be too small and I might have to find an aftermarket 8"

I have never used a double D coil underwater and this will all be new to me.

NICE! Are the headphones "DIY," in terms of the waterproof connector?

Probably. Although I can say in one place I hunt the Detroit River, I will be bombarded with signals. But I have been taking it to campgrounds and have had the same problem. I can pull silver and gold out of iron with my Tiger Sharks and CZ]'s and I am sure I can pull more out with this one. Time will tell.

I have been in two campgrounds exclusively with the critter and so far have 25 silver coins. Bottle tops are worry some. I am hoping they won't be too plentiful. Nails are though. Can't wait to get this wet. Will see how bad it drives me crazy in the river.

Nice setup.

Do you wear a mask and/or a snorkel? I was looking to some creek hunting and need a mask and snorkel but didn't know if it would get in the way of headphones. Any ideas?
