Minelab EQUINOX 600 & 800 Metal Detector Handbook by Andy Sabisch

Master the original Minelab EQUINOX series with this comprehensive, Minelab-authorized handbook by respected detecting author and field tester Andy Sabisch.

The EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800 introduced simultaneous multifrequency performance through Minelab’s Multi-IQ technology while retaining the option to operate at individual frequencies. These powerful, highly adjustable detectors can perform across parks, fields, beaches, mineralized soil, and shallow water—but understanding how their settings work together is essential to getting the best results.

Andy Sabisch explains every major control, shows when adjustments are useful, and shares proven settings and techniques contributed by experienced EQUINOX users from around the world.

Important Compatibility Notice

This handbook was written specifically for the original Minelab EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800.

It is not a dedicated handbook for the newer EQUINOX 700 or EQUINOX 900. Although some Multi-IQ concepts and general detecting techniques may still apply, the newer models use different controls, features, Target ID scales, and settings.

Build a Strong EQUINOX Foundation

The book begins by explaining what each detector control does and how it affects performance. Instead of simply providing settings to copy, Sabisch discusses the reasoning behind proven programs so readers can make intelligent adjustments for their own soil, targets, and hunting conditions.

This approach helps new owners shorten the learning curve while giving experienced users additional tools for difficult or heavily searched sites.

Hunt for Coins, Relics, Jewelry, and More

The handbook includes techniques for recovering lost coins, historic relics, jewelry, and other valuable targets on land and in the water. It addresses the challenges presented by mineralized ground, iron contamination, modern trash, wet sand, saltwater, and heavily hunted locations.

Minelab has once again raised the bar against which other detectors are measured with the introduction of the Equinox series . . . the Equinox 600 & 800.  Featuring technology that provides true multi-frequency operation as well as the ability to switch to single frequency operation when conditions call for it, the Equinox series has made believers out of even the most skeptical of users by uncovering valuables from sites that have been heavily hunted.

This handbook, authorized by Minelab, follows in the footsteps of past books by Andy Sabisch that unlock the power of high-end detectors and contains the information you need to quickly master the Equinox 600 & 800.

Some of the topics covered include:

If you already own a Equinox this book will simplify its operation and help you find more even if you have considerable time on the detector.  If you are considering purchasing one, the Handbook will answer any questions you might have and ensure you have a solid understanding of what it is capable of doing when you unpack your Equinox.
