What's The Difference Between a Minelab Equinox 600 and 800 Metal Detector? A Complete Comparison.

What's the difference between these 2 powerful metal detectors? I get a lot of questions about the exact differences between the Minelab Equinox 600 and 800 and if the 600 is worth the purchase. To answer those questions, I decided to take both the Nox 600 and 800 put them side by side and compare the buttons, headphones, coils, menu system etc. to answer all of those questions. I will go through exactly what's different between all of the menus including the advanced menus. This is a must watch for anyone thinking about purchasing a Minelab Equinox which is one of the best metal detectors on the market today. This is a long video but I broke it down by chapters. See below:

The one thing I didn't mention in the video is the the 600 I have does not have the updated software and that update will change the backlight options to match the 800.
