The Equinox 800 will be somewhat more powerful than the Equinox 600 ... because the Gold programs are sensitive enough in -Mix mode to match the sensitivity and range with the Fisher Gold-Bug2 detector. 6" Equinox coil Range... for 0.003 gram gold -Gold 1 program : in Mix mode- 3.2cm... - Park 2 program : in Disc: 1.8-2 cm .... Another good advantage of Equinox 800 is the possibility to use separate 1F frequencies 20 Khz and 40 khz also programs type Park1-2, and Field1-2 , Gold1-2 programs... for example in places with strong EMI ...where sometimes the multi-frequency at the set high sensitivity may be poorly usable .... Wanquish is sensitive enough ... but will not reach deeper for small gold than Equinox 800 or Equinox 600 ..

If I compare my 9 "dual coil 14khz for Aka Signum with the classic 13" DD coil .. so the 13 "DD on the 12kHz coil is generally deeper on all targets .. in slightly mineralized terrain .. Practical field detection on mix mode is a no problem ...OK One of the intriguing features of this dual coil is that I can run it on AKA Signum as well as the maximum Gain10 .. -with no false response from the ground ... or EMI ..

KAC .... I do not have multi kruzer ... regarding coil 7x 10 "... / 11" DD Fisher style / ... so this coil is still a compromise between 2D surface and 3D depth separations ... .... even though I think there is a round 9 "DD coil / Deus, Golden-Mask, and Rutus 23cm O-OR/ more optimum solutions for me ... for better 2D and 3D separation ... as well as depth of detection .. for perfect certainty which coil is better ... you would have to compare both coils on Multi kruzer detector ...... elliptic11 "DD coil as well as 11" DD round coil .. ... someone who has both coils available can do a similar test ..

I'll write something about it... ..3D separation Test for 4 gram silver coin goes through significantly more of my detectors .... and there are working only 9-11 "coils ..... Small 5-6 "coils and 5-6x10" ellipses coils don't work well in this test .. .... about the tests in the strong mineralization ,, so I pay a lot of attention ... ... even in this mineralization test, the small 5-6" DD coils do not achieve the best depth results for coin-size targets .. ,, Standard 11 " DD coils are better here. Even though special coils can handle significantly stronger mineralization .. like DD coils ..

Is this Predator 3+ ..= Golden Mask 3+ clone? OO coil has favorable properties in mineralization ... I just say 11 "coils and the and larger coils improve 3D separation .. Only 2 of my detectors on 11" standart DD coils in this test well and reliably.. separate this very light.. 9Kt- 0.6gram gold ring between 6" long nails .. Minelab Equinox 800 .. on multifrequency .. and Rutus Alter 71 v.2 on frequency from 14khz -18.4khz .....

A simple test ... to determine which recovery speed is used by individual Vanquish programs. is to find out ... from what distance detects an object of the size of a can or shovel .., lower recovery speed is much more sensitive to objects of this size and has a greater reach .. My Vanquish 340 detects my field shovel .. Fiskars from quite a long distance ... So in detection I carry it further from the detector coil .. I estimate recovery speed at equivalent recovery speed = 3 for Equinox .. and working in strong /6-bar /mineralization also suggests...you have to reduce the sweeping speed a bit... Equinox recovery rates are strongly associated with a certain level of mineralization ... I would say that they correspond to the number of Fe3o4 mineralization bars in fisher F75 / Teknetics T2 / G2 ... The Recovery speed function in Equinox mainly addresses the following tasks: 1. Enable to achieve, correct detection maximum detection depth and correct ID for given terrain mineralization .. 2 ... Increases and decreases detector separation properties. So ... if you detect in the field with a level of 5-6 bar Fe3o4 mineralization .. Equinox will be optimally set recovery speed to levels somewhere 5-6 .. where you will get the best depth for this terrain ... as well as regular and reliable signal detection ..in normal coil sweeping ... in such terrain .. On something less than 3-4 recovery speed such as optimal recovery speed (5-6) you can also get a possibly deeper signal .... but it may not be regular .. or it is only a one-sided signal ..Detection is possible .. but not is optimal ... and you can simply go through several targets ...if you sweep the coil at normal speed ,,, Conversely, at too high recovery speed 7-8 ... on given terrain / 5-6 bar / ... you can start to lose the maximum brain depth for this terrain .... but further increase the 2D separation properties of the detector .. Anything in very low mineralized terrain / 1-2 bar Fe3O4 / can easily use all Equinox recovery speed ... 1-8, where recovery speed 2 gives the deepest ID ... but Recovery 3 is the most optimal for all small size items , and small,medium, large size coins .. ...but on items larger than coins will be recovery speed 1 and 2 deeper ..

Time frame for product introduction .... Impulse... has been established .. ...Carl Moreland defined it and specified it for up to six months ....... And that's not too much of a time ... let's not forget Fisher can work on developing some new detection products at the same time. What I would consider a rational step ... For example.......... before the time mentioned new Fisher F-50 ... However, This also applies to the new design standard and technical capabilities of a modern metal detector.... The manufacturer should also respond to this....in an appropriate manner...

In Central Europe there are coils for Vanquish available for sale ... coil price is: V8 = 104 euro. V10 = 127 euro V12 = 138.50 euro

👍Thank you for the answer Abenson ..... I know that these are the conditions from a very strong salinity environment..such more than... the salinity of the sea....

Abenson ... do you see any noticeable difference in the work of the Vanquish detector programs ...on the Great Salt Lake detecting? ... ...And which program do you prefer in such conditions?...

JW...... I would like ... if you were to continue to contribute to the X-coil thread ... with your rich gold prospecting experience ..., I know that you try to use the detection equipment of what works best for you ...

Stephen .. I'd be very careful about buying such a detector .... especially when you look at other long range detection products ... that it produces .... even if the products look like Hi-tech .... doesn't mean they really work ... pay attention to what you are buying ...

As you can see programs gold 1 and gold 2 are multi-frequency ... EQ 800 program Gold1 EQ800 program Gold2

Multifrequency Vanquish 340 contains 4 frequencies : 7.8kHz, 13.4kHz, 18,7kHz and 39kHz ... ....regarding the sensitivity of the Jewerly program on Vanquish 340 and V10coil. versus the Beach 1 program on Equinox - in the airtest, and certain predominance of the Jewerly program / Vanquish / within a range of 0..1grams of gold 11cm/vanquish/ and 10-10.5cm /Equinox/. I also see the Vanquish 340 increased range to 1.15 grams open gold earrings with a range of 13.5cm ... compared to the program Beach1 / Equinox / there is a range of 11cm .. Equinox I have for sure .. tested on 11" coil / sensitivity 20 / and also 6" coil / sensitivity 22 / but I got about the same reach on the open gold earring which was 10.5 and 11cm .. Vanquish with a range of 13.5cm has actually increased sensitivity to ... this type of conductivity of the object .. the coin size objects no longer see this difference ..

I made a scan of the Vanquish Tx signal using an oscilloscope and I can say that it is very similar to the Beach1 program of Equinox. Vanquish Tx Jewerly program Equinox Tx Beach1 program

..To make it very light ... and yet a well balanced detector on the 11 "Equinox coil / 510 grams / ... is not that easy .. because the weight of the 11" coil // 510 grams and the weight of the middle and lower rods / total 200 grams / already on the start limit the correct balance .. if Equinox offered a 9 "coil ... weighing up to 400 grams and 2-piece construction of the upper and lower rod ../- 100grams / then the balance of Equinox would be excellent .. note that each treats Equinox on a small 6 "reel (300grams) as very easy and well balanced....: In the picture is...Equixox, spectra V3 and Teknetics G2.. : 1.Equinox on telescopic rod :..... metal armrest.. and the heavier upper part.... of the telescopic rod tie Equinox well balanced on the 11 "coil. 2 .. Yes ....Whites Spectra V3.... is very well-balanced and also lightened by replacing the accu-pack NI-Mh... for a lighter- but stronger Li-Ion pack.. / -180gram less / .. Whites Spectra V3... design allows very heavy 13"-18"coils/680grams-1030grams/to be used with acceptable balance... 3 ..Teknetics G2 modified 2-piece rod /upper part from Equinox+ longer bottom carbon rod/-also is -150gram easier and better balanced .. not only on standard 11 "coil but also on 13" ultimate coil /530 gram coil/.. My personal opinion is that the S_classic desing rods works very well only with a certain coil weight .. / max 400-maybe 500 grams/ .. after that is better straight bar ..

Vanquish340 even at its low price can be quite light and compact ..

Thank you ... for explaining LE.JAG .... I think ... when the manufacturer devotes a little more time to fine-tune the Top pulse detector, or its final production it's just a good thing ..., Finally, everyone wants to buy for their money ... the better tuned Detector ...

If this is a better detection when sweeping the coil up above the ground on very deep Equinox signals, this allows for a low recovery speed of 2-3 .... on low and medium mineralized terrains. ,,,....but in very strong mineralization when you have to use recovery speed 6-7 it will not help ....- there Equinox likes low sweeping coil over terrain ...... For example, from my observation with detector Fisher Gold-Bug2 or Deeptech Vista Gold Gain on strong terrain mineralization ... it will actually help improve detection .. when you sweep the coil up 5-7cm above the terrain of heavily mineralized terrain .. Speaking of testing....so for testing I use a low to medium mineralized test field..with a very deep storage subject at depths from 4 "to 15" .. Next I use 2 outdoor test boxes 350 liter "Liapor" box 4bar Fe3O4 = 0.4% magnetite ... and 60 liters ´ "BlackSand" Box 7 bar Fe3O4 = 4% magnetite .. Finally, to quickly check and compare the ability of detectors and coils to handle mineralization using 3 compact test BlackSand boxes with extremely strong mineralization of 4.4%, 12% and 33% Magnetite content .... 350 liter -4 Bar Fe3O4 "Liapor"= 0.4% Magnetite ..test box --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My test field.. low and moderate mineralized terain.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For comparison 4.4% Magnetit mineralization = equal to 7bar Fe3O4 of very strong iron mineralization as measured by the Teknetics G2 detector. Old 40 liter Black Sand box= 7Bar Fe3o4.. =4.4% Magnetite mineralization.. 3 kilograms pure Magnetit... in new 60 liter Black sand box..=7bar Fe3o4 mineralization.. Equinox 800, Vista Gold Gain 30khz.... and Teknetics G2 testing ..im Black Sand../standart coils/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tesoro Mojave testing 7" CC concentric coil contra 6x8 " Sef DD coil in 4Bar Liapor test box... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testing Compact Black sand boxes 12% and 33% Magnetite.. Interestingly, this compact 33% Black sand box / = 7.6kg black sand / ... contains 2.6 kg of Magnetite !!! Thus, testing on the other two Test Boxes of 12% and 33% revealed all good and bad detector setup or coil properties.

My observations and tests show that Equinox alone 1f frequencies work with substantially reduced TX performance (about 1/10 Standard Tx) -a similar to the reduced Tx performance in Beach 1, and Beach2 ... and Tests even confirm that under certain conditions1 frequencies 5Khz, 10.khz, and 15khz, I will be more resistant than Beach 1 and 2 programs with lowered Tx because Beach programs contain frequencies 20 and 40 khz - .... which will be unstable under the conditions of the strongest mineralization. And this is a disadvantage in other multi-frequency programs in Equnox .. Park, Field and Gold .... these programs already on the highest mineralization (33% magnetite) can not stably and properly debug GB .... For comparison .... Multifrequency programs Park, Field, Gold I will work stably only up to 12% magnetite mineralization ,,, and 1Frequency programs 5Khz, 10khz, and sometimes 15khz, I can work stably up to 33-40% magnetite mineralization .. Of course ... count on the smaller depth range ... so maximum 50% -60% depth .... but the detection is stable .. 1F separate frequencies 20Khz and 40Khz I will work well to 12% mineralization ... for example at 40Khz, and high sensitivity 23-24 .. in the program Park1..I have no problem detecting 1.15gram open gold earrings in at a depth of 4 "´ = 10cm ... under 12% magnetite mineralized by "Black sand" test box.. : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But 1F frequencies of 20khz and 40khz will no longer work steadily on mineralization of 33% magnetite ..- and that's the problem with all multi-frequency programs in Equinox-Park1, Park2, Field1, Field, Gold1, Gold2- because they also contain frequencies of 20 and 40 khz. .. 1F -15khz frequency is also slightly less resistant in 33% magnetite mineralization, but it is more resistant than 20khz and 40khz frequencies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be interesting if the minelab of Equinox could create a "multi-frequency program" for extreme mineralization ... containing these 3 more resistive frequencies 5Khz-7.8Khz-13Khz .. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We recommend everybody to test and compare how extremely 1F 5,10,15 khz frequency works in combination with recovery speed 6-7, low iron bias setting and Discrimination set to 0, + 1 or more .. You will be surprised how strong mineralization Equinox can manage ..

In high iron mineralization you can also use 1F frequencies 5Khz ,10Khz and in some cases even 15khz khz, because: ... 1F separate frequencies at Equinox work with significantly lower TX power /=1/10 normal Tx/- which will work similarly ... or even better than the Beach program ... Explanation ... commonly multifrequency programs Park, Field, Gold also contain frequencies 20 and 40 which are more sensitive to strong iron mineralization ...- so these multifrequency programs will work well and stable only to a certain degree of iron mineralization terrain ../to 12% magnetite mineralizacion/ So in case of poor stability of multi-frequency programs/in 33%magnetite mineralizacion/ or their use only at low sensitivity, it is better to use a separate 1 F frequency of 5Khz, 10khz or 15khz.: 1F frequency -5Khz -sa excellently used to detect highly conductive coin-large silver ... 1F frequency 10Khz - will be more versatile and will adequately detect high and low conductive Items. 1F frequency 15Khz is most universal for all types of conductive objects, but may be less stable in some cases of extreme mineralization,/in 33% magnetite mineralizacion / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1F frequencies 20Khz and 40 Khz/Equinox800/ no longer handle the highest mineralization ... but in terrain where I can still work stable I will have excellent results on low conductive targets.../to12% magnetite mineralizacion / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use individual1F frequencies in combination with recovery speed 6-7, and Iron bias to low..and Discrimination to 0,or better to +1and more....- which appears to be the most effective in strong mineralization.
