Minelab Equinox 600 Metal Detector Depth Sensor Multi-Frequency VLF

Product Information

The selection of preset modes make this a great machine for ambitious beginners to start learning the ropes. They'll discover that the Equinox 600's settings can be customized according to the terrain they will be hunting on and how to properly work with the settings. Multi-IQ

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.

Observations

The default coil that comes with the Equinox 600 is an 11″ Double-D Smart search-coil accompanied by a skid plate. Nevertheless, you can upgrade your search-coil with other coil options compatible with the detector: Each mode comes with a specific tuning setting and tone pitch. The beach mode also features an underwater program that lets you, scout, for lost jewellery and coins at a maximum depth of 3 meters.

The Equinox 600 works on four different frequencies, single frequencies of 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz as well as multi-frequency mode. It's worth noting that the frequencies of 20 kHz and 40 kHz can't be used inpidually; however, in multi-IQ mode, the choice becomes viable. Search Modes 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? 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 I have seen some confusion on the internet regarding the differences between the Minelab EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800. I think that the EQUINOX 600 is being somewhat overlooked because it’s not the “top model” but, in my opinion, it is incredible value for a remarkably low price. I hope this blog will clear up any confusion and, in the process, show why I think the EQUINOX 600 deserves a second look by some people… Whether you are looking to upgrade from the Vanquish line of simultaneous multi-frequency detectors, or moving from a single frequency machine, we commonly hear that our customers hunt fields that they've "hunted a hundred times and still turn up new finds." That's the power of Minelab's Multi-IQ Simultaneous Multi-Frequency, which simultaneously fires up to 6 frequencies at once. This allows for greater targeting and discrimination between different target types.Equinox 600 is a high quality and reliable all-purpose metal detector. It offers the treasure hunter all the benefits of a well-known and respectable brand, including comfortable, well-balanced and lightweight design, adequate user experience, and stable performance. There are tons of features, despite the fact that this model is a younger brother in the series. The tool is suggested to be used by seekers with low to medium experience in the hobby. The learning curve will not be very steep, though, due to the fact that the machine was created with user’s comfort in mind. On the other hand, due to some innovative approaches, even a complete newbie is likely to take advantage of this instrument, and spot some cool finds right away. To assess the item properly, find out more about its tech specs, features, and also what are its differences from Minelab Equinox 800. New Features Another special feature of the Minelab Equinox 800 is its ability to bypass false signals. While looking for lost metal pieces, you will rarely experience interferences from power lines or electronic devices in your vicinity. Things you need to consider 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. Simply set the mode according to the location, and go! While the device is Bluetooth and wireless compatible with the Minelab’s ML 80 headphones, any other third-party headphones are well compatible with the metal detector. 4. Manual Ground Balance Each Detect Mode features 2 custom Search Profiles so you can save your favourite settings in each mode.

It is important to point out that there is a very fine line or what we call the “sweet spot” when it comes to using Iron Bias. Too much Iron Bias will eliminate those good targets like coins and jewelry. Not enough Iron Bias could result in the operator digging undesirable targets like small nails. Use this setting with caution. Does Iron Bias Impact Every Equinox Search Profile When Changed? There are special conditions where advanced settings will be required, like difficult soil conditions, for instance. In such cases, having your user manual at hand will help a great deal for reference. The Equinox 700 wins on discrimination, waterproof rating, headphones, composition and auxiliary features (torch, vibration etc). Yes, Equinox is waterproof; you can fully submerge it in water, and you don’t have to worry about possible damage. The metal detector is ideal for detecting in diverse kinds of waters – beach, rivers, lakes, streams, name it. 2. Is the Minelab Equinox 600 good for saltwater?Although they are both entirely new models, the Equinox 700 and Equinox 900 can be viewed as upgraded versions of the Equinox 600 and Equinox 800. And in terms of design alterations the biggest changes that Minelab have provided to the new Equinox models are based around the physical composition.
