Metal Detecting Tip Recommendation: get the Equinox 800 it has proven to be “ the machine” for many years. Be aware that the Nox battery is good for about 500-1000 cycles or about 5-7 yrs for the average user. Say what you like about them as a company, every one’s got an opinion, but they make pretty darn good detectors. For example, IF you read the Equinoxs manual, Mine lab states that many frequencies have been disabled in the two gold programs.

I’ve been asked to reference spinal tap here and not that the Equinox 900 goes to, ‘11’, but some may not know what we’re talking about!

I was considering the nox 800 but having tested one I found it to be no better than the Simplex + especially with the latest software updates.

For the detectorists who have chosen to invest money in a lot of aftermarket adaptations to their current Equinox. With this feature, these two metal detectors make a great option for detecting in shorelines, streams, rivers, and shallow beaches.

Minelab Metal Detectors Equinox 800 Metal Detector w/ 15inch

If you are looking for the best metal detecting backpack, then the Garrett Sport Daypack easily takes that mantle.We used the DEUS 2’s “ Deep High Conductive” program on land which we thought would be suitable for our highly conductive Australian currency. With the 800 models, you receive low latency wireless audio headphones, Gold-Field Mode, 20kHz/40kHz additional operating frequencies, and advanced settings. Until now, the 800 from Minelab has been the apex machine in the range, but the announcement of the Equinox 900 has already begun to question where and what both new and existing detectorists should purchase. I am going for my first detector, and been put off the minelabs 3030 because it needs a ‘users’ brain to start with ! Garrett offered an advanced level metal detecting that could function on all terrains, which is a massive steal for prospectors that like to alternate between target areas.
