Minelab Equinox 800 Gold Chain Test (+ XP Deus)
A chain is a very difficult target for any metal detector. The point is that the machine sees each chain link separately. And if your device can’t detect chains, it simply hasn’t enough sensitivity. But if on top of all this a chain is made of gold, your detector’s essential capabilities – accurate discrimination and sensitivity to super-tiny targets – should come into play. 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 X-Terra 705/ CTX 3030
Minelab has officially announced that… the new Minelab Equinox 800 detectors are better than the Minelab X-Terra 705 but worse than the Minelab E-Trac and Minelab CTX 3030. The announcement has been made especially for those who aren’t knowledgeable in the manufacturer’s pricing policy and consider the revolutionary product to be definitely a killer of all machines which were developed earlier. Of course not, the killer will leave its ‘co-brothers’ intact, said Minelab. Here’s an interesting comparative test: the Minelab Equinox 800 vs X-Terra 705 and Minelab CTX 3030. In your opinion, which of these three units sees the deepest? And what VDI will they have on the same targets? Take a look, it’s a quick but really interesting test! Continue reading
