You parted with your 'back-up' EQ-800 so I presume you have your main-use EQ-800 for use in water or as a current back-up?
You are keeping the EQ-900 and will soon have a Manticore to learn and compare, so those two ought yo keep you going. I will be following your posts and others to read how the new Equinox 900 and Manticore are both doing. I do not need another detector, and actually I'm having troubles regaining health to use what I have, but if I were to acquire one new unit, it would be the EQ-900 or the Nokta Legend and a couple of extra coils.
Pleased to hear you are enjoying the new Equinox so far, and hope you have some better hunting weather in the next couple of weeks.

Hey, have you considered a screen-name change to eliminate the 'xp' portion? If so, drop me an e-mail and I can take care of it for you.
