My ground is not extreme mineralized.
Does multi freq make a difference ? Have an advantage using EQuinox? A big YES.
Folks need to remember soil mineralization works on a sliding scale as to how a detector can detect targets.
A smaller target, a target thin but on edge moreso, shape, depth, etc.
So some targets using detector X model may be reflected when detected as iron or not detected at all, whereas EQX May infact detect as nonferrous, even give real good ID buried and undisturbed.
If folks don’t believe this
Watch this video I did. Comparing Deus, Eqx 800 and Anfibio Mulit.
I didn’t have F75 detector, but if I would have it would not have faired any better than the Anfibio did. Actually Anfibio multi better performer generally than F75 in my soil on all nonferrous targets overall.
Yeah folks can find things in a site with any detector. How do you know what you are missing? If you keep using single freq detectors you won’t ever know some of what you are missing.
Bottom line.
EQX 800 has the uncanny ability to give very good distinguishable tone on difficult to detect nonferrous targets. Even the Deus can’t keep up. And many others too.
I have seen this with my own eyes and ears.
Countless times.
Does the above mean Eqx sees all Deus can?
Nope.
Their are some coil sizes Deus runner can use and gain some advantage in some situations.
Enjoy the video.

Btw EQX, the detect mode one uses and settings can make a difference as far a signal detecting more difficult to detect nonferrous.
The thinner or smaller the target masking caused by soil even medium mineralized can hide finds. Like half dimes, small Spanish bits, and coins. Even small gold coins, trimes, 3 cent pieces made of nickel.
Minelab knows full well how good their little monster called the EQX line works. Hence the why behind the use of word obsolete.
Xp, Garrett, White’s etc, also by now knows how good Eqx line is too.
Bottom line.
Put 11” dd coils on loads of different medium and higher priced models detectors currently available.
Hit an old field dates in the 1700s/1800s.
And let all the super proficient users of their respective VLF detectors just locate no brainer signals. Those signals where a proficient user of their detector would rate as being >75% chance of bing nonferrous. Based on tonal behavior and or ID.
If we let all targets located by all detectorist be compared to all other models.
And the same rating used to rate suspect targets as being nonferrous.
A pattern would be seen.
EQX 800 has high odds of being the clear winner at the end of the day.
And if Etrac is one of the detectors being run, it will do better compared to the whole lot of detectors than some may think.
Far less digging on a whim for nonferrous targets using EQX line.
You hunt a field where CW action took place where soil is medium mineralized or higher with F75 detector any series. Sure you can dig bullets. They are big targets comparitively speaking. Wonder what one would miss though?? And not know.
Like small gold coin, smaller cuff buttons, etc.
One will notice EQX coil sweep speed can be far faster too vs F75 and still hit targets F75 user has a bigger chance of missing.
I am not even talking about masking as far as iron. Actual targets sitting solo with no ferrous masking. Just soil.
If we add ferrous masking into equation EQX kills F75 big time. Stock coil vs stock coil.
If a person has a Eqx and they have a bud who has done well in a relic site using F75 detector. Take your Nox in there and hold on you are in for a ride.
