Hi, I live in SD as well and looking in getting into metal detecting. I was looking at getting the vanquish 540 or equinox 700. What would you recommend?
@landslide03 Hi there! I would recommend the Equinox 700 over the Vanquish 540 myself. They are both multi-frequency machines, but the Nox will give you more setting options for detecting in different environments. If you want simpler, the Vanquish seems to be best for detectorists who like to keep things simple. Check out some of the detecting forums online, and you will get some other opinions too! Glad to share what little I know. ;) I started with the Garrett AT Max. Used it for a month, and now it sits in the corner. Minelabs has a great line of machines and excellent customer service.
@@GoldDiggerBarbie Thanks so much for getting back to me. I actually bought a Garrett Ace 250 a couple weeks ago to trace a pipe in my slab that I need to cut out. I have been watching a lot of youtube videos about metal detecting and I really want to try it. The only thing is, I am a little self conscious about going out in public with the machine. Would you ever be free to let me tag along with you and show me how to use the machine? I just ordered the Equinox 700 based on your advice!
I love this!!
Great info,nice video
Yes! I dig the signals on the slops
