DIY Carbon Minelab Equinox Shaft
The idea of a metal detector initially consisting of a control box only and having the rest of parts of its owner’s own preferences arises more and more often. That’s the way it is going to be in the future – you’ll purchase a control box, shaft and coil separately. Here’s an interesting option of a carbon shaft for the Minelab Equinox 600 and Minelab Equinox 800 machines: made with one’s own hands, easy to assemble, no special tools or skills needed. Not at an ultra low cost but not higher than the carbon itself. Continue reading
Minelab Equinox shaft adapter. Another shaft
Not everybody likes the Minelab Equinox shaft – some aspect of its design is flawed. The owners complain about their arms getting tired too quickly and about the low-quality camlocks (the latter aren’t locking tight enough, thus there is a play in the shaft). But hereby you just can’t up and change your Minelab Equinox shaft. First, which item will you replace it with? Second, even if you select an appropriate option, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be able to mount your detector’s housing on it. However, there is a very simple, inexpensive and preserving your warranty rights, solution – to use an adapter. Continue reading
Minelab Equinox 600/800 problems. Play in the shaft (twist locks)
If your detector requires a repair, the solution options to resolving the problem are much more important than the problem itself. All machines break down but different manufacturers provide different after-sales service and ensure different spare parts availability. However, the worst thing is when a new product breaks down: you haven’t had a chance to hunt with it, the parts aren’t available yet as well as there isn’t any knowledge how to solve this problem. You are virtually facing it alone. Here’s a video: the Minelab Equinox 600/800 camlock doesn’t fix the shaft. What would you suggest be done in this case? To duct tape it tightly and not to touch?

Changes in Minelab X-Terra 305/505/705 (upgrade)
The Minelab X-Terra 305, Minelab X-Terra 505 and Minelab X-Terra 705 machines look different than they used to. Whether these are good changes or not, that’s for you to decide. However, it can be said right now that these ones happened because it was to the manufacturer’s interest to do so. No one asked you and isn’t about to start now. We give, you buy. Continue reading
Changes in Garrett AT PRO. Upgrading the Legend
Nobody will argue that the Garrett AT PRO has been able to win its place in the history of metal detectors. Having taken this place, it set a new vector for MD hobby development. It was the Garrett AT PRO that launched an era of amphibian machines. However, the legend has become a bit outdated, so the manufacturer has made some changes to it. These are surely very important improvements – new owners (they and they alone) will forget about suffering most acute problems. Well, do you want to see an updated Garrett AT PRO? Continue reading
