Having used many detectors maybe as many as 300 different detectors, i can say this one is my favourite to date. The combination of high speed plus the deep seeking ability is just fantastic. The detector just finds more good targets for whatever reason. My jewelry finds rate has increased a lot and so has my silver finds. I recently dug an old penny at 11 inches , the equinox got it with depth to spare. The wireless options are great and the wireless module i find works superb with nugget buster headphones sparking up finds at an amazing rate, every coin and bit of jewelry the coil sweeps over is "lit up". The standard shafts that come with the machine were soon replaced with a tele knox design this is a telescopic fully adjustable shaft system which makes it much easier & much faster to get up and running detecting if you backpack or carry bag your detector , with the original minelab shafts the detector was way too long for most bags and did not adjust down anywhere near small enough to fit in most detector bags. The depths i am finding at have forced me to get an improved digging spade 1 foot + holes a good digger is needed. A better battery with more run time than the standard 12 hour run time would be nice. 18 - 24 hours would be perfect. .Having owned and used an xp deus i personally prefer the Equinox by far. The audio is so smooth on the knox. Pleasing to the ear. The only downside to this detector in my opinion like i say is the shaft system which could have been better for portability.Read full review

You will need to learn this detector, it's not for beginners. As with all detectors it's about listening and concentration on the audio response. So many variables to set up on this detector which is good.for experienced detectorists. I am using the 15inch coil. to cover more area but I think I may need to go to the 11inch whilst I get used to the detector when finding signals between iron. It likes big IRON so a Profind 35 pinpointer will be needed. The 35 detects iron to save you digging it when the equinox says its a good signal. I have used several detectors and this one will take a long time to get used too. I Watched lots of YouTube videos first, but still need to watch more. The Identification numbers even when low can be a good item to dig., so Don't ignore them. I found a silver sixpence with an ID of 16 which is low. I do try to run detectors at max sensitivity to get deeper targets., This one I had to dial back as there was so much feedback The multi frequency and the fact it sees big IRON. as good target. means you have to dig anything that sounds interesting.

got this nox 800 to use purely for wet sand use, already my finds rate is up with a few gold and silver rings for good measure. with the carbon stem its quite light to use, nice big clear display and easy to understand, best of all you can use it as a switch on and go machine without spending time messing around with settings.

Only con of this unit is... shaft. In this price point it should be telescopic type. Luckily that's easy to fix although it will cost you another £130 on top of the deal. Otherwise excellent machine that will bring you joy for sure and maybe even fortune haha! I certainly wish you this. Brave new world with Multi-IQ tech. Can't recommend enough. Join the club and enjoy.
