I am so ready! It's been 2.5 weeks since surgery and it's still killing me. I hope to be digging with you again soon! The Phoenix is awesome!

Bring on the 60 degree days!

I give credit where it's due. I enjoy your channel and hunts!

You'll love the Phoenix. I love your videos! Yeah me and Bill "Dirtfishing" hunt quit a lot together. However last year I was too busy to hunt much. I made a vow to make up for lost time this year with Bill. I sold my Equinox 800 because I lost faith in it. I was on my second control head and was afraid to take it in the water. I had a few months on the warranty too. Plus I didn't like the feel of it. I just bought a Vanquish 540 and actually buying Bills Simplex for my river hunts. So I'll be covered better with 2 machines.

@@mowerdog Thank you..I actually try to do my videos like Dirt Fishing..Were you show the metal detector up close then the hole up close..I been watching Bill's chanel for at least 10 years..I can't really comment on the Equinox since i've only used one for 20 minutes but i do see and here all the problems people have with them..Good luck with the simplex when you get it..

Thank you!

Nice!

I use the 31 digger 99% of the time. The only time I used the Phoenix shovel is when I was recovering from shoulder surgery. Plus open field hunting.

Yes, that too. It's an all around great shovel. Now since my should has healed up some I don't use it in parks. I'm back to using the Predator 31

You won't regret it

It's the appearance that large holes are being dug. Even though they will be nice clean plugs. Lets say you know nothing about metal detecting and you live in a 150 year old historic home. You let someone detect your yard and you see this person with a long handled shovel compared to a hand digger. What is your first thought?

Don't be shy! Your plugs will be 100% cleaner! I've dug some pretty ugly simi plugs with my digging knife. If anyone gives you crap just do a quick 20-second demo 😅 Once you pop the compact, plug back in place, and step on it, you can't even tell you dug a hole!

When you get it make it razor sharp. You'll love it

The Phoenix has arrived! 🎉 Now I just need the ground to thaw out.

You will not be sorry...

You get your shovels yet?

@@mowerdog ya i got the shovel and the raptor hand digger and i say they are awsome i am amazed on how they both dig the same kind of plug .i dont know if anyone here has these shovels because they are so expensive to get them over the border cost me 310 bucks to get them here lol oh ya and George Leash signed it for me to

No. If your already using the 31 in parks you can use the 24.

Thanks a bunch!

I've been wondering about this as well. Sometimes I think it's not even worth going through the time to continue to make videos? I wish I knew how some of these other guys have 100,000 subs with less quality content. I don't want to "plant" or fake all the great targets that some dig on every hole. We all know they are fake but they have a ton of views. I just don't know? But that you for watching my videos!!!

@@mowerdog yes I think youtube is becoming more of a do it your own platform for people to learn stuff and tiktok etc is taking over

@@mowerdog but I'm right there with you as a youtube detectorist myself it's hard

Heads not coils too?
