Minelab Equinox 800 (Waterproof) Metal Detector with 11" DD Search Coil, Headphones with a Minelab Pro-Find 35 Pinpointer
As an Authorized Dealer for all of the top brand metal detectors, I have sold 1000's of metal detectors, and I own and use the Minelab Equinox 800 Metal Detector myself. In my opinion, the Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector is one of the best metal detectors on the market today.
5F×8 (Five Frequency Times Eight) provides five individual transmit frequencies in the one metal detector, selectable at the push of a button. Each transmit frequency optimises the detector for different size targets and conditions. EQUINOX 800 offers 5 single frequencies of 5, 10,15, 20, and 40 kHz, giving an 8 times range or ratio from 5 to 40, hence the 5F×8 technology designation.
The individual selectable frequencies in EQUINOX 800 are:
5 kHz - Great for large silver coins
10 kHz - Good for small Roman hammered coins
15 kHz - A good general treasure detecting mode
20 kHz - Ideal for general treasure detecting and gold prospecting
40 kHz - Optimum sensitivity to very small gold nuggets
The EQUINOX 800 also feature Multi-IQ technology which allows you to operate all available single frequencies plus more, simultaneously. The option to operate your detector in a single frequency can be helpful if you are experiencing excessive ground noise when using the Multi-Frequency setting.
SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-FREQUENCY
True intelligent Simultaneous Multi-Frequency for maximum performance, plus a wide range of single frequencies.
Multi-IQ Simultaneous Multi-Frequency
Low frequencies typically give more depth on large targets than high frequencies, which are usually more sensitive to small targets. With EQUINOX 800 you can operate across the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously for maximum results.
