DIY Carbon Minelab Equinox Shaft
The idea of a metal detector initially consisting of a control box only and having the rest of parts of its owner’s own preferences arises more and more often. That’s the way it is going to be in the future – you’ll purchase a control box, shaft and coil separately. Here’s an interesting option of a carbon shaft for the Minelab Equinox 600 and Minelab Equinox 800 machines: made with one’s own hands, easy to assemble, no special tools or skills needed. Not at an ultra low cost but not higher than the carbon itself. Continue reading
Minelab Equinox 600/800 problems. Play in the shaft (twist locks)
If your detector requires a repair, the solution options to resolving the problem are much more important than the problem itself. All machines break down but different manufacturers provide different after-sales service and ensure different spare parts availability.

And what do MD manufacturers think about it? They are fine with it but don’t promise it will be easy. Continue reading

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? Continue reading
Honest review about Minelab Equinox 800 (+ warning)
Here’s a warning to all Minelab Equinox 600 / 800 owners: do not try to open the detector control box. Having spent 15 minutes attempting to uncover my machine, I completely destroyed the housing. It’s a good thing that I bought 2 units at once, otherwise it would be rather ridiculous: sort of you paid your money but never went out detecting with that device. Continue reading
