I am not the only one who uses a Vanquish, and we all know a lot of folks have been putting an Equinox model to use. Certainly, those Explorer, E-Trac and CTX loyalists are out there as well, even if they are using those models a little less these days. As I monitor the posts on the AHRPS Forums and a few others, I do see some activity by those using other brands, even some smaller-size companies, and from all around the globe.

So I am curious if folks are just going a different route than a MInelab model, and if so, have they changed the types of sites they hunt and that has called for a change in detector design to better handle the different search environment?

We're coming up on a holiday weekend here in the USA and maybe we'll have some hobbyists taking advantage of the extra time to get out detecting and we'' see posts pick up by next week? I know I plan to get out hunting after I finish moving things in this weekend, attend to a medical appointment on Monday, and then head out with a few detectors for some fun. I hope everyone can get some detecting time in, regardless of what they use, and have some success along the way. All the best to you,

Monte
