Minelab Equinox 600 Metal Detector Depth Sensor Multi-Frequency VLF

Product Information

Experienced detectorists will appreciate the long battery life of Minelab Equinox 800, which can stretch to up to 12 hours on a single charge. This device can function on high, simultaneous frequency 24 / 40 kHz that you can change at a push of the button without experiencing any interruptions in your search. Special Features

The EQUINOX is fully waterproof & submersible to (3m / 10-feet), ideal for detecting at the beach and in rivers, streams, and lakes. The EQUINOX Series has been designed for the serious coin & treasure enthusiast looking to upgrade to a high performance detector, without the high cost. Anyone sharing their programs which run the recovery rate at 1-2 as a default setting, are causing so much damage to the reputation of the Equinox detectors. They've caused so many users to sell their Equinoxs, because they can’t handle to ridiculous noises their machines make at those settings.

Once you ‘get past’ the different audio accessories, the EQUINOX 600 can generally be considered as an EQUINOX 800 with a simplified feature set. The EQUINOX 600 has in no way been ‘watered down’ or de-sensitized. An EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800, set up identically, will have identical performance to each other, under the same conditions. Five Frequency Times Eight) provides five individual transmit frequencies in the one metal detector, selectable at the push of a button. Each transmit frequencyoptimisesthe detector for different size targets and conditions.EQUINOX 800 offers 5 single frequencies of 5, 10,15, 20, and 40 kHz, giving an 8times range or ratio from 5 to 40, hence the 5F×8technology designation. Noteworthy are the different settings for different search modes (which I have dubbed “terrain” for comprehensibility sake earlier in this review). All the modes – field, park, and beach – have two settings.

The Equinox 700 wins on discrimination, waterproof rating, headphones, composition and auxiliary features (torch, vibration etc). The other big difference between the EQUINOX 600 and the EQUINOX 800 is the “Advanced Settings” available on the EQUINOX 800. These settings allow for a finer degree of tuning on various options that both models share. Each mode comes with a specific tuning setting and tone pitch. The beach mode also features an underwater program that lets you, scout, for lost jewellery and coins at a maximum depth of 3 meters.

Fast & Accurate Target ID

If the need to detect gold nuggets is a seldom activity for you, then the Minelab Equinox 600 is an okay fit. It serves to detect gold well, better than other multi-purpose detectors you might find in the market. However, Equinox 800 might be a better fit if detecting gold nuggets is what you do regularly. Equinoxes’ key difference is that the Equinox 800 has a gold mode with enhanced performance on detecting small gold nuggets. 4. How deep can the Minelab Equinox 600 detect? For many years multi frequency had the reputation of being deep with a big trade off in recovery rate; they were rather slow. The Minelab Equinox 600 comes with pre-configured settings and several pre set modes, which in themselves are excellent. You could find virtually all types of metals with multiple frequencies at work. Noise won’t be a bother because of its automatic Noise Cancel. You could also take advantage of its auto ground balancing (or tweak it to your taste with the manual option) and its adjustable threshold. Detect Modes on Equinox 600
