Minelab Equinox 800 Metal Detector – Waterproof, Waterproof up to 3 Metres Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Multi-Frequency, Gold Detection Mode.

Product Information

The EQUINOX Series is the all-terrain multi-purpose detector that has the potential to make obsoleteall single frequency VLF detectors. Equally adaptable for all target types and ground conditions… just select your detecting location and go! This mode will help specialist detectorists find the widest range of targets. This setting is ideal for finding fine jewellery and artefacts. And with the addition of the Multi-IQ feature, even in this profile, this detector is better at locating gold than many single frequency gold detectors on the market today. Beach Mode:- The Equinox housing is rated to 3m underwater whilst the DEUS 2 is rated to a surprising 20m. With only 32 hours of underwater detecting with the Deus 2 (at the time of writing this article) it's too early to know for sure but we speculate that the Deus II housing will be far more reliable in and out of the water than the Equinox. In our opinion the Equinox housing is more suited to being rinsed or splashed with water rather than fully submerged because of its reputation to let water in.

Two years ago Minelab released the Equinox 600/800, and in the time since the CTX3030, electronics had made massive advances off digital products like smartphones. I like the Nokta Makros and Garretts right now. I think Whites were good too, but I dont think I ever owned a Whites. But I might have owned one long ago. As we’ve already mentioned, only Equinox 800 has this feature that enables the user to switch to the user’s search mode by just pushing one button.One of the most obvious and anticipated physical improvements to the Equinox 900 is the introduction of carbon fibre in its construction. At Crawfords Metal Detectors we’ve seen thousands of users invest in aftermarket carbon fibre options to adapt their detectors, and so we are certain there will be a positive reaction to this decision.

It’s important to bear in mind what this means. It doesn’t mean the detector is, ‘seeing more', it instead means that you can now allow a more precise description of what your detector tells you that it has found. A particular benefit of increasing the target Id’s is that it will refine all of the target information, giving more clarity on what you choose to hear. You essentially have more precise and detailed information available to you. Anyways, I will never buy another Minelab. I dont like the company, nor thier behavior on thier forums. The Garrett AT Max comes with an LCD screen where you can view a numeric target ID for the detector. Its digital target ID ranges from 0-99 like the other Garrett models to give a visual representation of the target’s composition. This target ID is highly accurate as long as the ground balancing is right for the environment.

If you’re wondering if the 900 is better than the 800 then the answer is yes. Of course, it is, but not by a huge amount! Even after treasure hunting during the day and then at night, which is almost 12 hours of functioning in total, only one line was missing from the battery indicator. Both metal detectors have automatic noise suppressing system, the 800 model also has the ability to adjust it manually. I’m guessing these started by people trying to squeeze extra depth, be it doing an air test, or swinging a coil over a testbed where a target’s location is known.

Garrett AT Max Vs Equinox 800: Which is the Best? Garrett AT Max Vs Equinox 800: Which is the Best?

In my experience, none is better than the other. The units each have their unique highlights. However, there are some differences between these two units, whether it lies in their sensitivity, depth, ground balancing, etc. The Garrett AT MAX is known for its maximum depth detection. A frequency operation of 13.6kHz is decent. Thanks to that, many experts turn to this unit when they need increased depth detection for prospecting.

WATCHING NOW

Ergonomically the closer you get to your natural stance, with your arms by your sides, the better and if this involves extending the shaft out more, the guys at Minelab thought of this. It seems like Minelab have changed their technology. At least the EQX coils have become a bit more lightweight – sealed in a different way + lighter coil cover. Not a great weight loss, of course, but at any rate they started the ball rolling. Seemingly it’s the coil on a straight-as-a-rod shaft (and it’s neither more nor less than a rod) that gives an imbalance. Plus, the grip tilt angle can’t be adjusted at all. Another special feature of the Minelab Equinox 800 is its ability to bypass false signals. While looking for lost metal pieces, you will rarely experience interferences from power lines or electronic devices in your vicinity. Things you need to consider

Minelab Equinox 800 review | Undercoil Metal detector Minelab Equinox 800 review | Undercoil

The EQUINOX 800 offers 5 single frequencies of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz, giving an expanded 8-times range of 5 to 40 kHz.For those who are looking to upgrade from the Equinox or simply want the highest performance all-round metal detector then the only clear option right now is the XP Deus 2. The Deus 2 can also be used straight out of the box with the 12 powerful pre-set programs and also offers extensive customisation to get the most out of every situation. Let’s move on to how the machine works. The first thing that comes to mind when you start trying the detector – it’s the Minelab X-Terra interbred with the Minelab E-Trac. The second, after two days of going out detecting – there is nothing outstanding about this device. There isn’t any feature in terms of which I could say that Minelab performed a miracle. Depth, discrimination, accuracy, speed, comfort. It’s just an ordinary metal detector. Moreover, I can say with confidence that if I have an X-Terra 705 with a proper coil at my disposal, I will certainly be on a level in regards to finds. The Minelab Equinox in its turn is the unit for those who have a desire to spend more than the average budget. And it will work that way as the machine is operational after all and can see finds.
