Get that Garrett Apex put together so you can go out and play a little bit before winter arrives.
And here is a Do and a Do Not for you:
DO be ready to enjoy a comfortable feeling, lightweight, versatile metal detector that is, quite honestly, 'fun' to use.
DO NOT expect to have SMF performance like your Equinox 800. It is a different critter that doesn't behave quite the same, but the more I use mine the more I like them. I found a little quirks which leaves me aware of what they are or what could be a weakness, but I've also appreciated a lot of what the Apex can do.
I'm not the biggest fan of the Apex coil size, but it's working okay and really took me by surprise on how the detector and coil perform. What I'm hoping for, and soon, is a smaller size search coil to put on my second Apex. From what I've seen in performance so far, I think the Apex is going to be do really well in some pretty tough sites with a smaller coil.
