These modes are identical on the two EQUINOX models and, as a gold prospector; I would have no problem finding gold nuggets with the EQUINOX 600. The best of all worlds with low frequencies picking up large, deep targets and high frequencies sensitive to small objects, all in a single pass of the coil. True intelligent Simultaneous Multi-Frequency for maximum performance, plus a wide range of single frequencies. The Equinox 600 has a built-in Li-Ion battery that is rechargeable and equipped with a magnetic USB port. The coil is fully submersible and the entire detector can be submersed up to 10ft or 3m so you can even dive in shallow lakes or around beaches.

The option to operate your detector in a single frequency can be helpful if you are experiencing excessive ground noise when using the Multi-Frequency setting. Retrieving the targets in different ground layers is possible thanks to operating at different frequencies. The EQUINOX 800 adds the ability to shift non-ferrous tones and volumes, which can be helpful for those who hunt strictly by ear.The EQUINOX you can operate across the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously for maximum results. Multiple Frequency Processing allows for a higher precision of accuracy when providing target id’s for objects.

The Minelab Equinox 600 metal detector has gained popularity due to its lightweight design, waterproof capabilities, and advanced multi-IQ technology.Saltwater, fresh water, rivers, creeks, wells, ponds – no longer worry about taking your metal detector into the water.

Detect modes and operating frequency can be instantly changed at the push of a button for a dynamic and uninterrupted detecting experience. The point where ferrous tones shift to non-ferrous tones may be adjusted; as can the volume of the ferrous tone. With Multi-IQ you can operate across the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously for maximum results. Running the Equinox at a sensitivity of 22 with the larger coil Target ID's will not only become more stable, but the Nox will also often give an Iron low tone for slightly out of reach targets which the larger coil helps to prevent. The compromises are one less detecting mode, the 600 doesn’t have the Gold Mode, your choices in some of the settings are not as wide as the 800 and the WM08 wireless unit isn’t supplied.For detailed information on user interface functionality and operation, download the EQUINOX 600 | 800 Getting Started Guide from the downloads tab. This machine is performing extremely well in all environments including high mineralization and salt water conditions. The problem was with the DPD couriers who somehow managed to lost the huge package for a few days and damage it. 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. It does so primarily by using different audio processing so that targets respond both in volume and pitch.
