Ive had this machine for 2 years now, all i can say is its great!!!!! 148 silver coins found since i purchased it. This machine has been nothing but fun!
I've had an Equinox 600 for a year and found 500 coins in a year. Only ever used the factory settings, which is good enough.Very clear signals every time.
I've had an Equinox600 since March 2023.Found 3 Gold rings in fields on separate trips out. One was 18 carat at a depth of 9 inches & Victorian 19th Century. An excellent choice, simple to use.
Just purchased a 600 as my first metal detector. So far from everything I'm seeing, including your video, I've made the right choice. Can't wait until I get to test it out.
Thanks, Tom! It’s a great first detector!
I just bought one today, just waiting for it to arrive. Came across this after my purchase, so I'm just looking into info
I just got a 600 2 weeks ago I'm also waiting on the weather.
Likewise. Just put mine together. Learning. Can’t wait for the weather to ease! Thanks!
Iv lived in the countryside my whole life and know the local farmers who have given me permission to roam across lots if land detecting, Iv purchased a 600 but I'm a little overwhelmed with all the settings and features being a slightly older fart 🙂
I will persevere thanks for the video 👍🏼
You might wish to keep the electronics above water, many of these units have leaked. Other than that, I am loving mine!
The dot has been great, and i am still wearing it for testing without any issues, even leaving it in freezing temps for days on end.
Just bought one of these today, so excited to use it at the weekend! Thank you for the overview on how to use it 😊
How much?
@@BUSTER.BRATAMUS I brought my ftom a mate for £300
He was selling it for 350
I hope all is well for you.....Good stuff....
nice vid !!!!! i feel ya with the temptation to overload info, it's hard to resist :)
Best review I have seen of any of the detectors. Nice job! Great video with great info.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I picked up my new Equinox 600 Wednesday. Now I need the weather to clear up a little bit
@@jameskilburn3230 same here, been either too wet or too cold!
I have had the equinox 800 for a few years and just bought the 600 for my son. These things are awesome. The good thing is all my accessories work on both so he can use my other coils and blue tooth headphones.
Happy hunting!
Thank you for the information 😊
I’ve read that the lugs on the coil that attaches to the stem have a tendency to snap if you swing it through stubble
Great simple review, thanks
I just bought mine today👍.great video.just subscribe.
My friend and I go detecting once a week, he has the EQ 600 and I bounce between the Deus II and the Manticore. He never finds anything but clad and the occasional junk ring while Im constantly pulling silver Mercs, Rosies, etc. Matter a fact this month has been the best I ever had since buying the Manticore 2 months ago. Last week I found a 14k gold chain with pendants and 2 days ago my first Barber Dime but he continues to get skunked with his 600. Im going to swap machines today with him to see if he just isnt adjusting it correctly or is the 6-7 yr old Tech of the 600 just obsolete. Minelab has discontinued any further support for it, there are so many better machines out there like the Xterra Elite, Triple Score, etc etc. Why would would anyone want to spend a lot of money in a machine that is 6-7 yrs old?
Very nice as it seems to have simple options for beeping and letting you know what might be down under....Nice ring find....Good stuff....
Still excited about that ring, that was a cool find, not worth much, but still cool
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel Yep...👍👍
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel I hope all is well....
Very professional video especially the under water views and well explained.
Great video. Concise and informative
Thank you!
hello, i will buy for my grandson a new detector ....equinox 600 of nokta double score ... witch one and why ? regards françois
Hi...how deep will it detect gold? great post thanks !!
These are being blown out at 499 all over right now,, Besides the tones etc..is the extra couple hundred buck worth it over the Garrett Ace?
Bro it's been a while since you uploaded new content and just wanted to tell you we hope all is well and come back✌🏽.
I havnt responded to many comments in the last year. But I do appreciate one’s like this. So to explain. I have developed Macular degeneration I’m my shooting eye. It’s very disorienting, I’m essentially blind in that eye. It’s discouraging at best. I may or may not be back again due to the effort to pay off that TH-cam has now created for small channels like mine. I check my comments everyday, just like I always have. But few bring me to respond like this one. Thank you for the encouraging thought to consider keeping this going. I’m happy people like you enjoy the work that I have done over the years.
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel Whatever the right decision is I'm sure you'll make it. Want to remind you the 2A community is one of the most supportive groups and the ZRUS channel and the real life man & family is no exception. 🇺🇸
@@Cityoftrees1911 thanks man, I appreciate that
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel Your content is very relatable and down to earth and I would like to thank you for all the effort you've given us over the years we greatly appreciate it too. I know the health thing is heavy but I have faith ZRUS the man is going to fight through the rough times because hes one tough SOB.🥊🥊
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannelhaven't forgot about you bud. 2024 is going to be a great year🎉.
so are you saying I should buy this my daughter wants to go metal detecting and the last time we did that was when she was 8 and she didn't really know what she was doing now at 14 I think she may like it a lot more and with this unit it seems to be very user friendly and a joy to use.
It is an easy unit to start with and never really have to mess with any settings. However, the more she learns on it, she can dive into what she wants as her skill set grows with the machine. I hardly mess with much of the settings, but it’s nice to know that if I wanted to customize it, the option is there. It’s light weight. The display is easy to read in daylight and night time settings. The battery is rechargeable, so no need to buy batteries. It breaks down very easily and is solid when put back together. It’s an excellent unit
$269. Minelab X-TERRA Pro is the one that you should be getting for your Daughter....
That's cool! Nice review bro!
Thanks! This video was almost a year in the making, I have so much more footage to use for later videos.
How do I get rid of the noise it is always making it
Would you recommend upgrading from 540 to a 600?
Hi, i just buy this model, can you tell me what mode is for gold.
What model allows complete submersion?
Whats the best setting for gold treasure hunting?
the Equinox 800 is better suited for gold in particular. You can find gold with this one as well, but i dont have a custom set up for it yet. Im sure theres info on the web somewhere tho.
I have one
No Forest mode???
What about this Equinox 600 vs a Vanquish 440 or 540 would u still choose the 600 over a 440 or 540?
I think the 440 and 540 are in a different class as opposed to the 600. They both seem like great detectors, but the 600 has more settings, rechargeable ion battery, and a better display. There’s no doubt that any one of these detectors will find stuff. It just depends on what you want from a detector. But yes. I’d go 600 right away. Unless I couldn’t afford to at the time and wanted a detector just to have one, then I’d get either the 440 or 540. Hope that helps
@ZRUS Outdoors Channel here in Australia between the 440 and the 600 there's a 500 difference in the price tag hence why I was thinking for price per value vanquish still has multi-IQ. don't get me wrong 600 looks nice yes it has a few extras like waterproof, nice big screen, nice backlight for day/night, and bluetooth, but is it really worth the 500 extra
Sorry for the little debate, lol. I'm wanting to buy a detector, but 500 extra is alot so for me 1000 price tag for a 600 is alot for a beginner over a 440 at 500 or do I try and save the extra 500 I don't know lol.
@@gunnas1128 you are right for considering all thing that they have to offer per price. It’s just gonna come down to what you want in a detector. Like buying a car. Power locks and windows, heated seats are gonna cost you more. Is it necessary, no. But it’s nice to have :)
How to buy minelab 600 from phillipines
Will this detect gold nuggets?
How deep in the ground that takes the metal parts?
4.7
GOOD VIDEO....WHY PAY FOR XTRAS YOU'LL NEVER USE IN THE 800...GREAT MACHINE
From what i gather about the 800 is that it is better refined for searching for gold.
It actually in multi frequency mode goes all way up to 40hz, unless your prospecting you don't really need a dedicated 20/40hz, it's currently on offer now £459 absolute bargain for a machine that does 90% of a 800
Why is this Minelab better than the Garrett?
it has a much better display, more functions, re-chargeable (disposable batteries get expensive over time) less chatter while targeting, updateable firmware, better backlighting, and is lighter.. Im sure there are other reasons. The AT pro isnt a bad unit. the equinox just seems to be more up to date.
Doe's it detect Gold.
That can not be a river in Illinois?!?!
It is definitely not lol this is in southern MO
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel That water is wayyyyy to clean.
Having lost wifes 1/2 k gold wedding ring i do not want to find any of those.
Just bought one today prior to finding your video. Have you got a recommendation on a good pinpointer that compliments the Minelab 600?
I use the Garett Pin pointer, its a solid performer. I havent tried any others yet.
A little late but the Garrett is the best you can get. It's about $150 but well worth it. They are waterproof to ten feet and sensitivity settings in an audible and vibration mode. I've had mine for around four years and still works like new. Oh and it's an orange color that makes it easier to find when you inevitably walk off and leave it lying
@@brianallison1913I have a Stretch Cord on mine and it's always going to be there and I have also left one behind but it was the first one that was Black and I have Now 2 of the Carrots and a Bungee Cords Attached to both...
