Clodmaster said:I bought a 600 and have no regrets. Have upgraded to Tony Eisenhower waterproof headphones because I use it in the water a bit. Also found after a while the stock shaft was deteriorating so got the Detect-Ed shaft which is excellent. Have also bought coil ear stiffeners as insurance against the coil ears snapping. Like Kai, if I ever get serious about gold hunting, I'll buy a proper gold machine. There are some features on the 800 that I'd like to have like the button that swaps you to a different profile. Otherwise, I've never been out in the field/water and thought I could have done with an 800.

I didnt realise the 600 came with headphones.I would probably end up buying the Detect-Ed shaft kit eventually for whichever model I buy.Goldpick said:I too purchased the 600 from Anaconda at the club price ($899), which is a bit less than what Minersden currently have it advertised for. Mainly wanting it for coin/relic/beach detecting to compliment my Deus, no real need for prospecting. I hated the wired headphones that came with it and ended up purchasing the wireless ones separately. That's pretty much all my budget allowed, and should be fine for what I need it for.
Can't say I have any issues with shaft wobble as yet, though the Detect-Ed setup does shave some weight off, has a better clamping mechanism for the shaft sections, and also helps prevent breakage of the coil ears (known weak point). In the scheme of things, the Detect-Ed option isn't that expensive, I may consider it down the track.
their is a few differances 800 works on 5 10 15 20 40 khz the 600 5 10 15 khz 800 has 3 light settings the 600 on or off 800 gold mode 600 noneEldorado said:I will be in the market to buy an Equinox very soon and was wondering if anyone had purchased a 600 and now wishes they bought an 800.There doesnt seem to be too much difference between the two except for the Gold mode and the extras (WM 08 and headphones)with the 800.Are these extras worth the extra cost?Also what are the benefits of the WM 08 unit,what is its purpose? I have also heard of the problem of shaft wobble,is this a common problem because to have to buy the custom Detect-Ed shafts would add considerable cost to the detector.
