"Bang for your buck"
I think the 600 is excellent value, multi mode is identical to the 800. Some settings are limited but not bad. Great detector if your not into bluetooth headphones
You can pick up a 600 from Anaconda on eBay for just under $770 delivered. That's real good value. Bluetooth aptx low latency headphones can be picked up for $90 if you want to be wireless or if you already have a Pro Sonic or similar your set.
The Equinox 600 can be set up to run very similar to the 800 in Multi (gold modes).
Put the 600 in Field 2 Multi
Adjust the discrimination to reject -9 to -3 & accept -2 to 40 (Some small gold will register -2 to 0) or run in All Metal if the ground allows
Use ground balance tracking on
Recovery speed 3 normal ground - 2 difficult ground
Iron bias 3
Threshold to suit (800 gold mode preset 12)
:Y:
Edit: p.s. the weighting of multi is different for the different modes.
Multi in field 2 may not be weighted quite as sensitive as the gold modes - not sure? It is weighted to be a sensitive mode though & was the platform for the Equinox 800 being changed to allow Multi in the gold modes rather than just selectable 20 or 40khz originally.
Should be even better with 6" coil.
