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

Product Information

XP (the manufacturer) state that “Beach Sensitive” is the Deus 2’s deepest program for the beach but the most reactive, the “Diving” program is the least sensitive but also the least reactive making it very stable and easy to use.

In that way, anyone who has used either an 800 or the 600 will really hit the ground running with the new machine. Recovery speed is the time it takes for a metal detector to recover and detect a different target after an item has been detected.We ran the Equinox 800 over the same target in park 1 to compare, only to find that the Nox barely made a noise on it. The Minelab 800 offers five adjustable frequencies with the Multi-IQ feature: 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 kHz. I was a bit peeved with minelab here in Australia when I bought a second hand Excalibur II and I broke the stop on the on/off knob because the O-ring seal was so tight I couldn’t ‘feel’ it.

We are certain that the DEUS 2 performed deeper than the Equinox 800 on all the targets tested in this wet sand environment.

For the more concerned detectorist there is also the consideration of optimising the size of the detector, and the 900’s telescopic, carbon fibre shaft solves both of these problems for users at the time of purchase rather than requiring additional adaptations.

The Minelab Equinox 800 and the Garrett AT MAX are the big boy contenders for any detectorist and prospector. One of the best features of Equinox 800 that is also a major improvement of the 600 series is the presence of a wireless adapter and a set of headphones that work with Bluetooth technology. The Equinox 800 is a multi-frequency metal detector that has five single frequencies that include 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz. I’ve included a review from a user who only picked up the Equinox 800 recently and how he got himself started. For many years multi frequency had the reputation of being deep with a big trade off in recovery rate; they were rather slow.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. The AT MAX is an incredible unit, but the learning curve can be discouraging for both new and advanced users. This isn’t a life-changing amount, but lighter is better when you consider all the other equipment we need to carry when detecting.

BTW, the Nox 800 is designed for a limited lifetime of about 5-7 yrs based on battery life expectancy. In my experience, I would say the Minelab Equinox 800 is a better contender and provides a lot more utility and performance than the Garrett AT MAX. Could you post me your settings for the nox please i have just bought one after using deus for years, i understand its a very powerful machine that needs tweaking for optimal results.The Equinox’s success comes down to its ability to perform well in so many environments on so many target types whether it be silver coins in the park, jewellery at the beach or little gold nuggets in the gold fields but how does the BRAND NEW XP DEUS 2 compare to the MINELAB EQUINOX 800? Its digital target ID ranges from 0-99 like the other Garrett models to give a visual representation of the target’s composition. Both Garrett AT Max and Equinox 800 are designed to be waterproof and can be submerged into the water up to 10 feet (3 meters). Frankly speaking, after using XP Deus (I’m not tired even after 8 hours of metal detecting), Minelab Equinox 800 seemed rather heavy to me and my hand got rather tired.
