Hi catching up on your vids. How you getting on with the 900 compared to your other detectors. I’m laid up with health issues so good to watch others like you out there. HH. Mal
Hi Mal, sorry to hear your are not feeling too good. This was my first outing with eq900 last saturday, I used it 3 extra times since. So so far 3 times in the water once on the sand. On the sand it is a coin magnet. In water I had it in all tone, I am not sure that setting is for me as I have my 3030 set to ferrous bands, with all the good stuff in high tones. (around the 12 mark). It appears deeper in water than my 3030 but also all tone does not screen to me dig targets with low ID numbers, so half way through hunt today I changed it to 2 tone. As I am in water I rarely can see screen unless very shallow. 2 tone immediately was an improvement and found a stainless ring that I would have passed due to low tone. It is a light detector, screen could be bigger also manual could be expanded upon for target bands. I like it. I had considered the manticore but discounted that as a friend has been using one for couple of months and not sure it gives extra value for the €1k. I plant to uses eq900 for a few weeks then go back to ctx3030 and make a comparison. Need to get a few more hunts in first. Keep smiling.
Nice to see you again in the water! And the CTX?...You change for a new Nox?
Better?...
Regards.
I still have the CTX3030 & the excalibur. I wanted to see if newer technology is better. It is lighter, easier to set up. This was first time use of eq900, so I would like to try it a few times and then go back to ctx to do a comparison.
Hope you like the new Nox. I am now using the little brother, XTerra Pro. And in the water I have already had 10 pieces of gold since the end of March.
If I owe this passion to someone, it is thanks to your videos. From the first day I saw you I thought... that's for me. Thanks.
@@josemariasanchezlopez80 Thanks for the kind words. This year has been very up and down and few videos. the great thing is this hobby pays for itself normally quickly. For me not so much gold this year but I have had a few stunning finds, unfortunately not with camera at time. Good luck out there.
was that a ringpull i kept seeing ? great underwater footage
Always lots of ring pulls 😞, thanks
Do eq900 losing connection with earphones when You put controlbox under water??
yes, bluetooth does not work underwater, I have wired headphones for that reason (and these are waterproof)
Awful sound couldn't hear a word until you got home 🙄
thanks for feedback.
