Cooper 135 Posted December 29, 2017 Being the new guy here I may have a silly question. I have read the specs but will still ask, the Equinox will search at all of its freq's at once or you can just set it for any of the freq's listed and search at that specific one? I wonder if it does scan, or operate in all freq's if there is a depth loss as it seems that a decent single freq. detector may give you more depth. I have a couple detectors at different freq's but, I guess with a detector like the Equinox, no others would be needed?? That sure would make my wife happy. Signed Confused, err actually Cooper.

Cooper 135 Posted December 31, 2017 Also, do you guys think the Equinox 800 is going to be a good solid gold machine for you all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,060 Posted December 31, 2017 According to minelabs' early info release the Equinox was conceived to be a coin and treasure detector, but the 800 does have 20kHz and 40 kHz options that may work well for gold detecting, time will tell. Both the 600 and 800 will be able to operate either in single frequency or multi frequencies (all frequencies at the same time). You can read Minelab first release at this link. https://www.minelab.com/anz/go-minelabbing/treasure-talk/equinox-technologies-part-1 Here's what is known for specs at this time.

It’s also suitable for the new detectorist, having several pre-set modes for different detecting locations.

azdigger 1,474 Posted January 19, 2018 It will be interesting to see some side by sides of the Equinox and the Monster as far as gold goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nugget Shooter 4,598 Posted January 19, 2018 Gold Monsters 24 bit processor will handle the soil better in my opinion.... The thing gets in my hands I'll let ya know how it handles the LSD hot soil. but the 800 is geared to be a coin/relic bad ass and will hear small chains and stuff on the beach like nothing yet. Just my 2 cents.... I could be very wrong and was when I first tried my GM 1000, never had a detector like it in my hands and took some time and learning. Now I am still amazed at it abilities. Love that little VLF. Couldn't believe it could not only out do my GB2, but killed it for me. The Equinox is gonna make allot of really good beepers "boat anchors" like the GM did... Me I don't care much and just use what works the best and with today's technology the best is yet to come. I may be wrong, but my opinion is to own a coin machine for coins?relics and a gold machine for gold.... Wanna do both, buy two detectors after your normal research, but Minelab has our backs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,134 Posted January 23, 2018 If money is no object the a GPZ, Gold Monster and the up and coming Equinox 800... But money is often a problem, so, for those that do a little of this and a little of that the Equinox 800 is looking like the one to have... to each his own. fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssweat 118 Posted February 12, 2018 I am one of the few lucky ones to have received mine so far, played with it a bit yesterday and very impressed well built in my opinion and lightweight, large crisp accurate target ID, will be trying to share videos and pictures as well as opinions on it as I progress.
