This machine has a new-generation Bluetooth function, capable of reaching up to 100 meters. Won’t it also be able to break through the half-your-height water column? Or it will? Here’s a test of the Minelab Equinox’s wireless connectivity that can be achieved underwater. It’s really interesting! Continue reading

Until then, here’s a Minelab Equinox 600 recovery speed test in its complicated version, when a coin is located underneath the rusty nails. In your opinion, can the junior cope with this task?
