MINELAB Equinox 900 Multi-Frequency Collapsible Metal Detector for Adults Bundle with PRO-FIND 40 Pinpointer

This review is for the Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector set, which includes the control unit, 6 inch coil, 11 inch coil, wireless module, headphones, and arm strap. I am giving this a five out of five. For the price, this machine genuinely bridges the gap between novice level detectors and professional grade detectors. If you are brand new to metal detecting but know you want a serious machine that you will not outgrow quickly, this is one of the best options available. The Equinox 800 uses Minelab’s multi frequency IQ system, meaning it emits multiple frequencies simultaneously. This allows it to handle different soil conditions and depths extremely well. It performs consistently across parks, fields, beaches, and even gold prospecting scenarios. The preset modes make it very approachable for beginners. You get two Park modes, two Field modes, two Beach modes, and two Gold modes, all selectable with a simple button press. You can turn it on, noise cancel, ground balance, and start hunting immediately. As your skill level increases, the deeper controls are there when you need them. You can manually adjust ground balance, recovery speed, iron bias, sensitivity, threshold, noise cancel, and frequency selection. You can also choose between two tone, five tone, or full fifty tone audio, which provides an incredible amount of target information once you learn to interpret it. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read. Battery life is strong. I typically get ten to twelve hours per charge. In colder northern Indiana winter conditions, I lose roughly one to two hours, which is expected for lithium batteries. Depth capability is excellent. I have personally dug targets approaching two feet deep with lower recovery speed settings in favorable soil. This detector absolutely has professional level performance when properly tuned. The wireless module is worth using. It provides extremely low latency audio and is noticeably better than standard Bluetooth headphones. I believe Minelab is no longer actively producing the Equinox 800, but it is still widely available and well supported. Minelab equipment is ubiquitous in the hobby, and parts and accessories are easy to find. I have been metal detecting since 2017 and have owned several detectors. The Equinox 800 is the machine that truly locked me into the hobby. Even as I upgrade to higher end units like the Manticore, this detector will always remain in my arsenal. Pros: • True multi frequency performance • Excellent depth and target separation • Beginner friendly presets with deep advanced controls • Strong battery life and fast charging • Bright, readable screen • Very low latency wireless audio Cons: • None worth noting for its class Bottom line: If you want one detector that can grow with you from beginner to advanced without holding you back, the Minelab Equinox 800 is an outstanding choice. It remains one of the most influential and capable detectors ever released, and it earns a strong five out of five.

Love this machine. Very accurate and easy to use. I have had great luck with it and it is my go to. This is my second Minelab Detector and the upgrades from the 800 are so worth it. The seller was awesome. Love buying from them.

I was gifted the vanquish 340 Loved it. Soon I upgraded to the 540 vanquish I love it even more.. Because I consider myself a professional now, I use the equinox This is by far the best detector I own I only need this one. At first the extra features can seem overwhelming, but quickly become automatic to use and are useful . I just gotta say soda can tabs always sounds so good. Dig them all dirt fishers!

I love this machine. I used a Garrett at max for a long time and it's a great machine. The equinox 900 is definitely an upgrade. It didn't take long at all to learn the machine. It is light and balanced very well. I love the display layout. I found so many treasures already with this detector and I've only had it for a week. I definitely recommend the Equinox 900.

I love this machine so damn much. Price is steep but worth it compared to what I was dinking around with for a decade ($400-Bounty Hunter Landstar...which was nice at the time but stone ages compared to the Nox). Love the rechargeable lithium battery, lasts a long time. Backlit screen, wireless headphones, lightweight, water proof and powerful. Easy to use after a bit of practice. Solid and stable after putting 70 hours on it. I can’t speak to its target discrimination abilities or depth strength compared to other machines, but it seems to perform very well (speaking from my 12-years of experience). I recommend the 600 vs 800 if you’re being honest with yourself about the fact that you’ll likely never go gold prospecting....but maybe you will??? There is one an annoying thing with the pinpoint mode occasionally being quite after first switching over. Sometimes its quiet and then I move away from the target and back again then it’s louder. Weird and doesn’t happen a lot. I’m thrilled with this Nox 800! I’m in heaven when out tecting with it. ...You might even catch me sauntering around the park in a display of euphoria treasure hunting. Hahaha

Forest City Metal Detectors shipping was fast. The Equinox is in a class of its own due to Multi-IQ. The Equinox series handbook by Andy Sabisch sold desperately, to me is a must.If you are not planning to do raw gold searching you may want to look at the 600 also. There has been a firmware upgrade that added upgraded backlight to the 600.

Excellent detector easy to use with little a YouTube instruction.

Produit de qualité, tt ce qui est sur la publication d'amazon à propos de l'équinoxe 800 est réel, livraison rapide, bien protégé. La seule chose à faire attention c'est la patte de fixation de la fourche sur le disque, assez fragile, pensez à en prévoir un de rechange incassable. Sinon j'en suis tt à fait satisfait, 100 %.
