Minelab Equinox 600 Metal Detector Depth Sensor Multi-Frequency VLF

Product Information

The Equinox 600 could be generally considered a perfect fit (of a detector) for hobbyists, whichever skill level you may belong to. Whether you’re an expert or an intermediate user, you will find its multiple features interesting to play with and do a lot with. I personally own the 800 but I thought it would be helpful if I wrote an article that answers the question, “What is the difference between the Minelab Equinox 600 and 800? The waterproof rating is also now improved from 3 metres to 5 metres for those wanting to delve a little deeper into the fray. However, this is somewhat irrelevant to a high percentage of detectorists.

The EQUINOX Series has been designed for the serious coin & treasure enthusiast looking to upgrade to a high performance detector, without the high cost. It’s also suitable for the new detectorist, having several pre-set modes for different detecting locations. More Equinox videos available on Minelab's Youtube channel here. Equinox 600 and 800 Comparison Guide And one of the biggest myths is that the lowest recovery setting of 1 is the deepest setting, often it’s no deeper than 6 because those extra targets aren’t recognised as `diggers’. Even worse than that is that deep faint targets you hear at a recovery of 6 often can’t be heard at a recovery of 1 in a real-life detecting environment.

Fast & Accurate Target ID

The bottom line? The EQUINOX 600 is really all most normal people would likely need and even then it has more features than most detectors. The hard-core detectorists who want the extra features on the 800 generally know who they are. The key thing is that, with rare exceptions mostly involving gold prospecting, both models are equally capable and will both locate the vast majority of targets equally well. The EQUINOX 600 really is a powerhouse at an incredibly low price. The good news is that if you just can’t make up your mind, the EQUINOX 800 really is not all that much more! The device comes in disassembled form, so you would have to set it up, although quite simple to do so. It does not require tools to assemble out of the box. You should fully charge the battery immediately after – it takes about four hours to charge from 0 to 100%. It’s not enough to know if the Minelab Equinox 600 is waterproof. The next most important question is, does it function properly underwater? Yes, and that includes saltwater. In fact, it works exceptionally. 3. Can the Minelab Equinox 600 detect gold? 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. This automatic feature shifts the operating frequency to quell chatter and noise from electromagnetic fields in your hunting terrain. 7. Updatable Software

The EQUINOX Series is the all-terrain multi-purpose detector that has the potential to make obsoleteall single frequency VLF detectors. Equally adaptable for all target types and ground conditions… just select your detecting location and go!You can also use the Equinox 600 to find treasures as deep as 10 feet (3 meters) below the surf. 3.
