Review: Minelab Equinox 800 is a true bridge between beginner and professional detecting - This review is for the Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector set, which includes the control unit, 6 inch coil, 11 inch coil, wireless module, headphones, and arm strap. I am giving this a five out of five. For the price, this machine genuinely bridges the gap between novice level detectors and professional grade detectors. If you are brand new to metal detecting but know you want a serious machine that you will not outgrow quickly, this is one of the best options available. The Equinox 800 uses Minelab’s multi frequency IQ system, meaning it emits multiple frequencies simultaneously. This allows it to handle different soil conditions and depths extremely well. It performs consistently across parks, fields, beaches, and even gold prospecting scenarios. The preset modes make it very approachable for beginners. You get two Park modes, two Field modes, two Beach modes, and two Gold modes, all selectable with a simple button press. You can turn it on, noise cancel, ground balance, and start hunting immediately. As your skill level increases, the deeper controls are there when you need them. You can manually adjust ground balance, recovery speed, iron bias, sensitivity, threshold, noise cancel, and frequency selection. You can also choose between two tone, five tone, or full fifty tone audio, which provides an incredible amount of target information once you learn to interpret it. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read. Battery life is strong. I typically get ten to twelve hours per charge. In colder northern Indiana winter conditions, I lose roughly one to two hours, which is expected for lithium batteries. Depth capability is excellent. I have personally dug targets approaching two feet deep with lower recovery speed settings in favorable soil. This detector absolutely has professional level performance when properly tuned. The wireless module is worth using. It provides extremely low latency audio and is noticeably better than standard Bluetooth headphones. I believe Minelab is no longer actively producing the Equinox 800, but it is still widely available and well supported. Minelab equipment is ubiquitous in the hobby, and parts and accessories are easy to find. I have been metal detecting since 2017 and have owned several detectors. The Equinox 800 is the machine that truly locked me into the hobby. Even as I upgrade to higher end units like the Manticore, this detector will always remain in my arsenal. Pros: • True multi frequency performance • Excellent depth and target separation • Beginner friendly presets with deep advanced controls • Strong battery life and fast charging • Bright, readable screen • Very low latency wireless audio Cons: • None worth noting for its class Bottom line: If you want one detector that can grow with you from beginner to advanced without holding you back, the Minelab Equinox 800 is an outstanding choice. It remains one of the most influential and capable detectors ever released, and it earns a strong five out of five.
Review: Excellent Detector for the money - Love this machine. Very accurate and easy to use. I have had great luck with it and it is my go to. This is my second Minelab Detector and the upgrades from the 800 are so worth it. The seller was awesome. Love buying from them.
