Minelab EQUINOX 800 (Coil 15″)

The EQUINOX 800, equipped with Multi-IQ technology, redefines all-purpose metal detecting for both beginners and serious enthusiasts. Its adaptability to various target types and ground conditions makes it a true “turn on and go” metal detector.

With additional features like Gold Mode, high-frequency detection (20/40 kHz), wireless audio accessories, and advanced settings, the EQUINOX 800 offers greater versatility.

The Gold Mode enhances performance on small gold nuggets in mineralized ground by utilizing distinct audio processing, making targets respond in both volume and pitch. While Gold Mode is ideal for gold prospectors, the Multi-IQ technology in Park 2 and Field 2 modes is equally effective, often outperforming single-frequency gold detectors. Those who regularly hunt for gold nuggets will find the EQUINOX 800 invaluable.

The EQUINOX 800 also allows the adjustment of non-ferrous tones and volumes, which is beneficial for those who hunt by ear or have hearing loss in specific audio ranges.

A key difference between the EQUINOX 600 and 800 is the Advanced Settings on the 800, allowing finer tuning. With eight levels of adjustment, users can optimize performance in challenging environments, such as areas with dense debris. Lower settings offer better detection of deep targets but less target separation, while higher settings enhance separation in cluttered environments but may reduce deep target signals.

The EQUINOX 800 features a User Profile button for quick switching between Detect Modes. For example, switching from Park 1 to Beach 1 usually takes four button presses, but with a customized User Profile, this can be done with a single press. The 800 also offers Low, Medium, High, or Off backlight settings for energy conservation during extended use.

Both the EQUINOX 600 and 800 models feature Automatic Noise Cancel, but the 800 includes a Manual override for areas with high electrical interference (EMI) or multiple detectors in close proximity. Most users will rely on automatic settings, but manual control is available for fine-tuning.

Advanced detectorists will appreciate the extra features and settings that make the EQUINOX 800 stand out.
