Some folks evidently don’t understand the benefit of multi freq, especially multi IQ. It is not a hoax. I promise.
If it were I would ditch EQX in a second.

Wow.... you sound like a bunch of old women arguing over who make the better fruit cake
You guys need to get out more, you can't find ANYTHING sitting on the forums fighting about who's detector is best good luck out there!
I don't know about the holy grail stuff, Wood, but I'm enjoying your 600...and it was a pleasure dealing with you!
For over 8 years the AT Pro was either my primary or co-primary machine with the CZ-3D. It's an efficient, honest detector that seldom lies about ferrous targets.
But since I first used the Nox this July, I haven't been back to the AT and I sold the cz-3d. Why? Because the Equinox is deeper, separates better, and is lighter. The cz-3d was a sweet machine certified at 12" and I hated to end the affair, but my rotator cuff said it's her or me!
To answer your question: Yes, I'm finding more than before. In the short time I've had the Nox I've found a significantly higher number of silver and old coins per hour than I was finding with the AT Pro or the CZ-3D and I'm definitely digging more deep coins than in the past. And this is despite being nowhere near the proficiency I have with the AT or the CZ.
Of course there are going to be detectorists like yourself, Wood, that don't click with the Nox. Nothing wrong with that. I've had detectors that certain skilled detectorists raved about that I just couldn't mesh with. Sometimes I couldn't get with the audio, sometimes I didn't like the interface. Or the detector wasn't well suited for how and where I detect or my left-handedness. And good thing the Nox isn't yellow. No way I'm using a yellow detector, ever...
The Nox is far from a perfect detector, but the performance is there for me so I'm quite satisfied.
Minelab makes quality machibes, always have..And they face the same struggles every other company does when releaseling a new unit,, always bugs and build issues to work out..
I do not think the at pro is perfect, nor is it the best.i use alot of other machines that are way better in alot of ways.
.But the original question was the #1 seller and imo it's still the at pro today, Garrett just branded and marketed that machine to the wall..Thats the reason I say it's the #1 seller, not because it's better than anything else in sales today.
You think the AT pro is outselling either equinox models right now? Not sure I believe that, I dont even think the AT max is anywhere close...this is TODAY as in 2019, not lifetime sales we are talking here I thought? I think I should add, I do NOT own an equinox
What makes you think outside of these forums anyone knows the equinox exist? I doubt any big box stores carry it,and most people google what they want ..Nothing against the equinox but it don’t even come up in the top 10 in a google search..So,let us know why you think it’s a top seller?
They are everywhere, all over the forums AND outside the forums, YouTube, etc... Almost everyone I know has one, and if they don't, either had one, or want one. IMHO, right now October 6th, 2019, the equinox is #1 selling. I don't particularly like the equinox, but it is clearly working for many other's. Ill stick with my FBS and Garrett though
Thanks for the reply,I was wondering..I base my opinion because we live in the google world,and the equinox doesn’t come up when searching for the top 5 or 10 metal detectors..I actually do a lot of talking with people i see in different areas of Pennsylvania metal detecting cause I work in several different counties,and I have yet to find any who belong to any forums,or swing a equinox..Most common I see are the Etrac,3030 and at pro..
That's funny, because I thought "fruit cake" was a pseudonym for an "old women"?T-Man said:

This is real info not fake news.
Thanks TNS. Well, at least it was close.
