Equinox 800 tones

My CTX 3030 has ferrous, conductive and combined tones. What type are the tones on the Equinox 800 - Ferrous or Conductive?
 
Conductive only .
This is not a top end machine in terms of settings . Though has things that other machine more expensive might have .

Its an X.Terra replacement not a CTX / ET replacement . Unless you want it to be that is .
 
Vladorado,


By utilizing the all metal button { horseshoe } it is in my opinion the same as combined. There is an adjustable bin for iron with it's own tone. Another feature the ctx doesn't have is a volume adjustment so you can limit the volume of iron which would be very handy when searching a Roman village.

Talking Minelab:
I resisted the dark side for many years, but after I turned, I've had 3 or 4 Explorers, 4 Excaliburs, a 705, a CTX and now an 800. Gone or gathering dust are all but the 800. Yes, they all cost as much or much more than the 800, but it won the right to be my weapon of choice. It has clearly been the easiest to learn and the most productive. I have lucked on to some custom waterproof headphones and tomorrow is the first day of summer! I see more 800s on our beach than Excals and they were the clear majority machine before. I don't see the glass as half empty, it's running over! Though I have been shopping for coils...
 
I could be reading you wrong....... but its just reading the Cond line thus a single digit. It gives a full range of target tones from 1, 2, 5 or 50 tones. You can adjust the tone pitch (Hz range) based on these target tones or bins..... but not as well as the CTX. As was said ...... you can reduce the volume of any given bin as well. I do that with iron... down to 4 while the volume on other targets are at 25 when using AM. It can help you set your sensitivity.

It may not be a better all around machine than the CTX...... but near or in the water its not going to miss much that $2500 machine finds. So far i believe its its equal there..... but takes a bit more work with bottle caps and broken iron hitting in the 15 and 16 digit..... dropping to 10 on the really deep ones. Not as simple when you walk over say a pair of sun glasses to know its a bigger target than the CTX either..... that i miss. Not nearly the modulation.
