F350Platinum Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Right now a lot of Minelab dealers are running specials on the Equinox, and you get 15% off if you can prove military service, ID, DD 214, or a ChooseVA card. I didn't know that when I bought mine 🤬 The Equinox has been around for a long time, the Legend isn't a year old yet. The 800 is the best choice if you're looking at an Equinox, I didn't need it because there's no gold other than jewelry in my area. 😀 It's $200 more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacialgold Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I have both the 800 and the Legend. Personally, I favor the 800 (at the moment) but that's just me. Both are discounted right now, and I see Amazon is running an offer on the Legend pro pack for $595. A great resource for comparisons is this guy:Â https://www.iratemetaldetectors.com/ Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yes, Nokta just announced a $100 off special price until the end of the year. They also are due to release the 9.5X5" DD coil soon. That will make Coil #4 from the factory for the Legend. They have 7 for the Anfibio. I have 6 of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Big sale on Nokta Legend at Serious Detecting. Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Welcome to the forum and glad to see you here. I have been using my grandfathers 800 and I know that it can do almost anything the higher priced units can do. I am also new at metal detecting and was able to use it with just the factory settings the first time. I have dug a lot of nice coins and some that really stunk, but would have never have found them without it. Good luck on your choice of detectors and just remember that the 600/800 will still be around a long time with plenty of accessories if you want.

righttoown Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Well I think I’m going with the Nokta Legend due the price being about $100 less than the Minelab 600 right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Welcome aboard ! Plenty of really good info here for you to check out to get yourself up to speed.  I add my try before you buy to your list. Look for a local detector club as well as that friendly local dealer. Join. Tell them your budget and what you would like to find . They'll probably have more detectors to consider . Happy hunting.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
