All I know is that I am really enjoying my Equinox 800. Do I think that it will obsolete my other detectors. No I don’t. But it ticks off all the right buttons for me. It is light. It has a decent balance. And it is simple to use. So far I usually just set it on Park 1, do a noise cancel, adjust the sensitivity, and start detecting. And I am finding things in areas that I have gone over several times with other detectors that missed them. I like it so well that I bought a second one. I have the 11” coil on one and the 6” coil on the other one.

Also, I really like the WM-08 wireless module. I like to use earphones, and I can plug them into the wireless module. With my very bad hearing the Equinox has plenty of volume for me. Some of the other detectors that I have tried did not have enough volume.
