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, having several pre-set modes for different detecting locations. The EQUINOX Series features Minelab's STATE-OF-THE-ART Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology and combines fast recovery speed with low-latency wireless audio in a lightweight waterproof platform.Using the EQUINOX 800 user interface, you can: Change the Detect Mode, Frequency, and Sensitivity on the go. Create your own notch discrimination patterns to ignore unwanted targets. Activate All-Metal mode to temporarily disable the current discrimination pattern. Activate Pinpoint mode to zero in on a promising target so that you know exactly where to dig. Adjust an array of essential and advanced detecting functions including Noise Cancel, Ground Balance, Volume Adjust, Threshold Level, Target Tone, Accept / Reject, and Recovery Speed. Advanced Settings to change the way detections are heard, by selecting the number, pitch, and volume of your detection signals. View the status of your battery and wireless audio device connections.

The most obvious difference is what comes in the box. The EQUINOX 800 comes with Bluetooth headphones and the WM 08 wireless module, instead of the wired headphones included with the EQUINOX 600; but these options can be added to the EQUINOX 600 if you so desire. In fact, the most popular aftermarket Bluetooth headphones will work with both
EQUINOX detectors. Once you ‘get past’ the different audio accessories, the EQUINOX 600 can generally be considered as an EQUINOX 800 with a simplified feature set. The EQUINOX 600 has in no way been ‘watered down’ or de-sensitized. An EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800, set up identically, will have identical performance to each other, under the same conditions.
The EQUINOX 600 is limited to 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz single frequencies, while the EQUINOX 800 also offers these plus the additional higher frequencies of 20 kHz and 40 kHz. This does not mean that the 600 is not employing the full multi-frequency range as part of the Multi-IQ processing. Multi-frequency operation is identical in the two models and provides the same maximum signal response to targets in Park, Field, and Beach Detect Modes., The real magic of EQUINOX is in the Multi-IQ technology (not the single frequencies), therefore you can rest assured the EQUINOX 600 matches the EQUINOX 800 in this regard.
The EQUINOX 800 does have one key mode that is lacking in the EQUINOX 600; the Gold Mode. This mode is designed to enhance performance on small gold nuggets in mineralized ground. It does so primarily by using different audio processing so that targets respond both in volume and pitch. The Gold Mode will be of interest to gold prospectors but has less application for other uses. More to the point, Multi-IQ is so good in both Park 2 and Field 2, that these profiles are as good, or better, at finding gold nuggets than many dedicated single-frequency gold detectors! 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. People who regularly detect gold nuggets will likely want the EQUINOX 800. If, however, looking for gold nuggets is more like a once-a-year thing, the EQUINOX 600 will serve as well, or better, than other multi-purpose detectors on the market.
