- Ask Merrill & Friends!Its end of 2024 and I dont find to many current vids of the Legend or the equinox 900. It seems these two would be right in my price range. I know the Legend is a couple hundred less but if that was not an issue overall is the equinox 900 better? This would be my first detector. Im in my 50's and can burn a little cash, I do want as good as I can afford though. Thoughts? In 2025 are these both gunna still be contenders??? Merril! Love your vids! Im a west coaster but your New York vibes still cracks me up!!!Like
- General Discussion: DetectorsI am new to metal detecting. I purchased the Minelab but have not used it. Since they are the same price point I was wondering if I should return the Minelab to Amazon for the Nokta? How do they compare to each other? I live in central Indiana and am surrounded by farmland. We have a handful of beaches off of lakes or reservoirs so obviously they are all freshwater and not saltwater.Like
