After all these years of detecting I never owned a Minelab detector so I ordered a Equinox 600. Really excited about the Multi- frequency and using a brand I only read about. Hearing about the success of others I often wondered what I could be missing. I guess I am a late bloomer and it takes awhile for me to come around and try something new, I feel this could open up all new possibilities and than I'll wonder why did I wait so long. You can teach a old dog new tricks.

Good luck with your first Minelab product…there seems to be a love/ hate relationship with the Equinox… either you love it or you hate… no in between.
I have had mine since late 2019, and I love it!!!
This detector impressed me on day one and continues to do so.
Looking forward to seeing your future finds with it!!!

rodbuster, you and I were in the same boat. Almost 50 years with the hobby and never tried a Minelab until May of this year. Although I like many things about it, I am not (yet) seeing it as a game changer. None the less, though, it is my day in, day out detector I grab. Good luck! HH jim tn

Rod buster, what detector did you use previous?
After you get the new detector, print out the manual or download it to your cell.
If you don’t get things right off, take printed pages, (that you want to understand) into the field and go through the steps.
All areas are different throughout the country, take targets into the field to test or bench test at home.
You might want to purchase Andy Sabich’s book to help you get going.
Best of luck.

Rod buster,
Read through the manual, start with factory settings (Park1-multi is a good place to start) for a good month. Then slowly introduce other settings to see what the effects are of adjusting them. Don’t go ape
and change a ton of settings as it may discourage you.
Listen carefully as to what the detector is telling you. Take your time and analyze targets. You do this, you will be fine.
