Can the XP ORX pick up gold nuggets? 60.66 grams in one outing
During the past 10,000 years, gold has been the hardest currency of all. And it’s within just the last 200 years that people invented modern paper currency. Has it been good? Certainly not.

Here’s an illustrative test of how the Minelab Equinox 800 is seeing a gold chain. Plus, the similar test: comparison with an XP Deus. Continue reading
Comparison: Minelab Equinox 800 vs Excalibur 2. Salt Test (depth)
Minelab may thank themselves for that. Why did they announce the Minelab Equinox as a revolutionary product?
