CPT_GhostLight Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Of the three newer machines currently available, only the Equinox 800 has a proven effective track record in the gold fields on small nuggets. It is also an excellent all around multi-use detector and easier to use with less menus and hidden menus, etc to mess with. It's a true turn on and go machine. Steve Herschbach was a tester for the Equinox and a career nugget hunter, so I would take his assessments to heart. If you live near a metal detector dealer, it could be worth your while to see if they have all the newer machines and give them a test run if you can, or contact a local metal detecting club if you have one and talk to the members who are usually more than happy to show you their machines. Hope that helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I have the Equinox 800 and you can get 6x10 & 6" coil for it. It really is an incredible detector. It has 2 prospecting modes. Also the Garret Goldmaster 24k. Another really great detector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I also have the 800 with both stock coil and the 10x5 coil. I find it to be ready to go at any time and spot on with the finds. I know that I can use it in and out of the water, for gold, and just to take to the park when I get a chance. I got it from my grandfather when he passed away and can tell you that it is a great machine. Good luck and good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
