Fast recovery speed with accurate Target ID ensures you won't miss any valuable targets amongst the trash. Overall, the higher-end models in the Equinox series (800 and 900) offer more advanced features, greater depth range, and better performance than the lower-end models (600 and 700). However, all models are capable of high-quality metal detecting and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Key Differences in the Equinox 600/700 and the Equinox 800/900 We asked Minelab about if they differ and they said that the new Equinox models have a ‘tuned’ version of Multi-IQ. They did not specify how, and to be honest, I’m not sure we’d understand if they did, but it suggests marginal improvements that are down to processor efficiency. The search modes also remain the same. Field, Beach and Park are all accessible, with the Gold search mode being reserved for the Equinox 800 and Equinox 900 models. The Equinox 600 seems to look like the Equinox 800 in appearance, but its differences lie in its features.

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. The Minelab Equinox 600 is applicable for various terrains; praises are due to its multi frequency technology and its six custom search profiles – two per its three detecting modes. In these situations the machine has become so noisy with false signals and corrupted target responses, you would’ve been better off leaving the machine in factory settings.... which by the way were designed by Minelab’s testers to give new users a head-start.Field mode is optimised fordetectinghistorical fields and designed tofind the broadestrange of target sizes. At Crawfords Metal Detectors we would like to stipulate that we believe that there is not definitive ‘right or wrong’ on which detector is better in this analysis, and it should be approached on an individual basis. A detector with higher features might not be the best for you, it depends on your perception of value, and your particular circumstances. Anyhow, let’s progress and hopefully we can help you make a decision. the instrument is totally waterproof and can be submerged to the depth of up to 10 feet, making it totally functional on the seashore. In my opinion, if there is any reason you should go for the Equinox 600, it should be for this feature.

Iron Bias is a filter built into the Minelab 800 and 600 metal detectors. It is used to favor the way iron sounds which also impacts visual display indicator (VDI) by providing a number for the operator to see. A high Iron Bias setting will favor a target being identified as iron. A lower Iron Bias setting will favor the target as non-ferrous. The features of the Equinox 600 make it a spectacular piece of equipment profitable for successful and productive search. Operating it for the first time does not require a keen level of expertise or extreme experience because many of its settings are automatic.
