The EQUINOX Series features Minelab’s STATE-OF-THE ART Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology and combines fast recovery speed with low-latency wireless audio in a lightweight waterproof platform. Now you would have thought that Minelab being a big company would have sorted this out , but no they just want to make money and leave the buyers out on a limb and no where to go . 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. You’re unlikely to detect a hammered cut quarter with a TID of 8 at 12”, so any TIDs of 8 are most likely going to be modern surface targets and ignored. The Multi-IQ feature. It’s an all-in-one feature that makes prospecting more effortless and efficien

Equinox 800 - Gumtree Equinox 800 - Gumtree

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 detector DOES NOT come with a power source. You will get a USB cable that connects to the lithium battery. Minelab recommends a 5V 2Amp charger. This recommended power supply will charge the batteries to full capacity in around 12 hours, but if using a lower rated power supply, the charging time will be increased. With EQUINOX you can operate across the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously for maximum results. There is a split between land lovers and sea surfers; the Nox 800 is really designed as a salt water machine, thus the multi-frequency feature. It will detect very small gold, like chains and bracelets, because of the higher frequencies and, again, loved by sea dwellers as well as prospectors. However, it is versatile and is also a good land machine, but here is where it is prob no better than the comparison machines mentioned like the 705, particularly if you’re primarily a coin shooter.

The troubles start when you try those `low recovery rate’ settings on a real field with ground mineralisation and searching for targets you don’t know are there. Equinox 800 has wireless headphones in its set. Actually, they are wired ones, but with a unit to plug in a wireless adapter.

This is a complicated machine, but once you learn the language of the detector it’s the best one I have ever bought. For the money it’s immaculate!“ Multi-frequency simultaneously. No other detector has that yet except for this one. This gives it the ability to read deep silver or small gold all at the same time. Field mode is optimised fordetectinghistorical fields and designed tofind the broadestrange of target sizes. True intelligent Simultaneous Multi-Frequency for maximum performance, plus a wide range of single frequencies.If you look at your swing rate and slow down, you can accurately target and maintain depth during detection. In Equinox you can adjust the target response. Low target response level allows hunting for targets located deep under ground, but at that the level of target distinguishing will be low. If you go treasure hunting in the areas with high level of electric noise or close to other metal detectors, this function will be rather helpful. Target Recovery speed is the time it takes for a metal detector to recover and detect a different target after an item has been detected. But, ground balance needs adjustment, and you need to redo it if you move to a different detection mode.

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

When the Equinox first came out, it had something called an FE adjustment on it. Another feature that made the Equinox so good, suppossedly.So far, the Garrett AT MAX is a solid metal detector. It offers some of the best and most advanced features on the market. With an adjustable operating frequency of 13.6 kHz, you have a good unit in your hand. Please note that the ideal operating frequency of any metal detector is between 5kHz and 15kHz. It’s not excellent but is perfect for getting it off the ground. In fact, all of the Equinox detectors have been built to compete with the high-end professional metal detectors on the market, such as the XP Deus II, but with a budget-friendly price point. Sleek & Lightweight:Rugged and Lightweight Construction Allows you to Enjoy Long Detecting Sessions in Any Environment THERE IS SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY BUILT INTO THIS MINELAB EQUINOX 800, THAT MAKES IT THE IDEAL LONG-TERM DETECTOR FOR BOTH BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED DETECTORISTS ALIKE. The equinox makes things easier for you in most areas, but it is important to make sure that you switch your detector to the correct location mode. This is done via pressing this icon until it lines up with the correct detect mode environment. Detect Mode Options
