Equinox 600 And??

[bigtim1973]

I used an Explorer XS for the last 20 years, and I made many good finds. I purchased an Anfibio Multi earlier this year, and it is finding coins in areas that my Explorer could no longer hit any coins. These coins have simply been too deep for my Explorer to pick up. However, I think the Anfibio may have a longer learning curve than many of the other machines, especially for an inexperienced detectorist. Now, if you want to just hunt in 3 tone mode and are not concerned about depth, the Anfibio is quite easy to use.

I bought the single frequency anfibio 14 "Coin" model. I can see where the other frequency would come in handy in some areas. It was between the anfibio 14 and the equinox 600. I still want the 600 and may get one some day as well. I went with the anfibio model because I was already more familiar with their numbering system as this is the 3rd makro and nokta detector I have owned.

My anfibio does quite well in the depth department in 3 tone. I found this out this past weekend using it the first time at a new to me old house site. In average areas where no back filling has occurred, 3 tone mode on the anfibio does an excellent job. I was pulling wheat pennies at 8 plus inches with no problems at all. It finds everything it goes over easily under normal circumstances. I know plowed fields and such where everything gets turned over a couple of times a year could be a challenge in 3 tone mode but regular old house sites and all, it does an excellent job. I was using 3 tone mode with a gain setting of 85 and the ground reading ID was moderately mild at 56 to 59.

J.T.,
Thanks for your response. I definitely do not view your response as a joke. I’ve used a Tesoro Cibola for years as a competition machine. I’ve also used a Tesoro Vaquero which is my favorite Tesoro. I think the Tesoro’s are an excellent detector. I’ve threatened to sell my other detectors over the years & go back to the Vaquero as my only detector. It is so simple to use & no worries about having all the settings set just right. Just turn on & go. Simple to use & will go deeper than I want to dig. My first serious detector was a Fisher 1266x. No depth meter but you could tell when you had a deep target by that whisper of a sound. You also gain another advantage by using the detectors like the Tesoro’s. You are not watching that VDI number which can cause you to decide not to dig a potential good target because of the reading you get. Happy Hunting...

all 'dead nuts" accurate bill! with a tesoro,audio modulation at depth is soo telling
the audio on a coin hit is very mellow, and smooth.difficult to describe to a novice. generally all "non-ferrous" hits are smoother, and not as harsh sounding, as ferrous, especially at depth. the ed-180 disc. circuit on the mojave is truly wonderful.in my view,tesoro would still be around,IF thy would have incorporated
a "two,or three tone circuit in to their detectors.it would seem to naturally follow, but they never did! i use mine for ''curb strips" perfect application for it! i'm just sayin'

When it came down to me upgrading my choices were down to an at pro or nox 600.

My dad has the at pro and I used it a bunch. I found it a quality machine and enjoyed using it

I chose the nox 600 and I enjoy it much more than the at pro. I can find a target and the pro won’t see it. There’s been many times the pro rang a quarter and the nox read it as iron. He dug it anyways and it was just rusty iron.
