Minelab has a great bundle deal going for the equinox 600,,you get a free 6 inch coil with your purchase! That’s a great deal if somone was thinking about buying one..
Well Woody, are you thinking about giving the Equinox another try? Huh ? I know they toned down the backlite, I remember you didn't care for it on the last one. Just my thoughts but go for the 800 if you do. From reading your posts I think a guy like you would appreciate all the tweaking you can do on the 800. Just sayin. HH Mark
Yes they did add a soft setting and also added a new iron bias setting on the most recent upgrade. Good luck MarkDid they really tone down that backlight? I never heard about that..Its just a great deal with the 6 inch coil I thought I'd share it for people who don't know about it.
As for getting one I'm actually tempted, I wasn't gonna pay $170 for a 6 inch coil although I really wanted to try one when I Had the 600..
I am going to sound like an old grumpy man here with only negative comments, but here it goes.
The stock coil can handle 95 percent of the detecting duties. I don't care if you are hunting iron or not. The stock can can handle it. The 6 inch coil offers very little in return value. The days of the small coil offering an edge are over. The Equinox was and is set up to perform with the stock coil.
