The Minelab Equinox 800 unit is still impossible to buy. However, some treasure hunters are posting multiple photos of their outings and finds that have been surely made with this machine, and even photos… of the Minelab Equinox 800 dismantling. Maybe this detector has already gone on sale, though we aren’t aware of it?

All about the Minelab Equinox 800 is collected here (news, tests, comparisons with other detectors, different reviews and opinions). Plus, on Knowledgebase pages there is additional information – everything you should know before buying this device. Happy hunting to everyone!
Price $1000+
Wasn’t it announced to be less than that? Or was that rumor?
$1000 is expected price. The retailers are very greedy they
like to pump up price when demand is great!
Let us hope that price will not be much more than $1000!
I am curious to see what kind of sealing there was between the guts and the control pod.
Who is EMC?
Not who, but what?
EMC = ElectroMagneticCompatibility Technologies –
this is company that makes EMC tests of different electronic
devices. They measure the level of elecromagnetic noise
produced by electronic devices according to FCC rules.
STM32F745VGH6
Memory card slots are used during development stages in order to upload new firmwares as quick as possible. After final release they are usually removed from the PCB.
I just bought the 600, and from looking (and designing) PCB/gear, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find a single resistor that shunts the two between 600/800. Although Minelab has definitely been in the protecting their IP for a long time… so I’d expect quite a bit more difficult. Who knows.
Do you know who has the high res photos of the 800? I’d love to spend some time (Well, not really) pouring over the differences.

Hi.
I saw in your report: Opening the Equinox minelab.
And there are photos of an equinox with a transparent material shell.
Do you have information on where to buy this replacement?

Interesting video. Answers a lot of questions.
I have one more question, as I could not tell from video and photos.
Does it look like the headphone jack is a ‘sealed’ unit and cannot leak water?
Was the cut through a seal or through the plastic of the housing? Is it clear to anyone how it was assembled and poosibly how to open it non-destructive?
Two halves of the box are connected using ultrasonic welding so there is no
sealing ring inside. To open the box you have to cut plastic.
Can isee
