Guess you missed my point.
It is alright to be skeptical. It is alright to be using intellectual curiosity.
But attacking someone or questioning their motives without any evidence to support is wrong.
Btw, Calabash called the AQ Impulse exactly what it turned now out to be over on dankowski forum if you cared to read. He based this solely on how detector rolled and LAcK of supporting video to substantiate claims. Also having a spokesman for AQ unit who lived in desert versus near salt water Beach, plus this person admitted eventually they didin’t know squat about using pi unit to hunt salt water beaches.
Now next. The Equinox.
Go back and read. Look around. Calabash never did make huge claims for waterproofing integrity of Equinox. Calabash did use Equinox for shallow diving. He then ran into problems with leaking control heads on equinoxes. Three total I believe. Calabash publicly disclosed this leaking on at least one if not more than one metal detecting forums. Calabash then proceeded to use excal unit using for all his underwater detecting. Then came along Deus 2. His excal is retired. Is for sale. Has 8” coil.
Calabash is using Deus 2 under water far deeper than chest levels. He has not reported any leaks or equipment failure associated with Deus 2.
Where did I mention anything about CB in this reply... I don't read Dankowski's forum... my post had nothing to do with CB... its my observations of certain detectors that weren't as billed... so stop being so defensive TN...
