    Minelab Equinox 800 use on gold - Tips, settings and questions

    Scroll down the linked page to see how well the Equinox does on small gold in multi mode. I could imagine it would be even more capable once the small 6" coil is released, guess it depends on how well it handles mineralised ground...
