Minelab equinox 600 or Garrett Ace Apex? I decided to re buy one after the decision to sell both.

I discuss the reasons for selling them both after a month of use. The decision to re buy and the question of, which one would you pick if the price difference was only $100

Greetings from Belgium. You're right about the building quality of the Equinox. I broke 2 armrests in 2 year, the shaft wobbles and my coil can't be fasten anymore and i use the detector only in +- 40% of the time. I own 9 other detectors, 3 of them are Xp Deus in different configurations, , 2 Quests, 1 Nokta/Makro and 2 Tesoro's and another Minelab. I sold 8 other detectors the last 4 years. So I can say i know my stuff. If i'm honest, the XP Deus (best in parcs, fantastic coin shooter and in irons sites) and the Equinox 800 are the best for me in results. I like the Equinox for it results but hate it for it's building quality. I do not have a lot of problems with EMI. The noise canceling does it for me here. If i had to keep one detector, it would be the XP Deus. The Equinox comes in second place.

Mate you must be either the most unlucky detectorist ever or you dont no what your doing , Any detector you buy you need to put some hours in to learn it . I've had allsorts of detectors over the years , I've now got a deus and a equinox 800 both great detectors in different ways, Nothing is ever perfect .I will agree with you that the equinox shaft is dog shit and I have put a carbon one on mine .I live in the UK and find the equinox a excellent detector, Its certainly made on the cheap but works a treat .I hope you find your perfect detector, But dont take it so seriously, I'm your words chill out man and just enjoy getting out .

Dude, I did the exact same thing. I sold the equinox because of the terrible EMI at a park, but bought again after trying both the APEX and AT MAX. They aren't even close as far as sensitivity/target detection, and the crappy minelab shaft is better in the end for me because it's longer. More confortable for people with longer arms. Good vid!

I sold my AT MAX and upgraded to the Nox 600. I honestly have no problem with it. it doesn't wobble and it's the original shaft. cool video

loved the unbiased review its all true but no one else saying so! maybe they're to embarrassed to admit they have fallen for hype

Nice candid, honest review. I have the Apex, and I dig a lot of trash. I have found some nice coins and relics with it. Garrett could fix some of the iron mask issues with an update. If ML would fix the ‘Nox shaft wobble, cam locks and coil ear problems, I might try one. Keep Digging!

Thank you very much Joey for this brutally honest review on what is considered to be two of the top metal detectors out there. I was seriously considering purchasing the Equinox 600 as a Christmas gift for myself this year after that review forget it! I will stick with my Fisher and my Minelab Vanquish 340. I have no problems with Emi on my Vanquish. Thank you very much and happy holidays.

I bought the Simplex again but they fixed the shaft flex and pinpointer chatter. Always been a Minelab fan but they dropped the ball on the Equinox. Cut too many corners trying to make it cheaper. Never had the Equinox wobble but the EMI problem is worse with multi. Only solution is to use single frequency which negates the whole point of a multi freq machine. Saw a forum post where someone fixed it by wrapping aluminum foil around the control box. Been impressed with Nokta's customer service. If thier multi freqer is even close to the Nox, I might jump ship. Sorry about writing a novel. You struck a nerve with this subject 😁

Just get your carbon fiber shaft and you’ll love the equinox that’s what I had to do but I agree with you that for the money we pay we shouldn’t have to get that cheap aluminum shaft so I went out and spent a little bit more money but now I’m happy and I don’t have to go out and buy a bunch of detectors I’m not gonna buy the legend for six 3518 what it’s made out to be I don’t care my equinox is found me a lot of shit in my buddies got one too and he’s 55 stuff he said he’s for about a year now and he’s found plenty of silver in all coins on a ton of rings at the beach and in parks

Very good Rant Man.. I thought you were going to end up getting the Apex..lol I have not used the Apex but have teased my thoughts on getting one. I own the 600 and the Simplex and 540. Would I need anymore detectors.. As I still have also the 340, Ace250, Tracker 4 and Quick Draw Pro..The Lonestar also but not a fan for that low end detector ..

If equinox sounds like r2d2 try to swith to 10 khz and make a lower frequency. And also always swith your phone to flight mode

Which device is the best in depth for big things for you?

I've had no problem with my 600 I've had it 4 years no wobble and does good in heavy emi area's . I've found a lot of cool stuff. Maybe you got a bad one?

My bank was for 40s got a good car but you have to want it and I don’t wiggle but I knew that it had a shitty shift on the 600 in the 800 and you know I guess first thing I was going to do is order me a fiber carbon showered and put on it so it doesn’t wobble because I don’t like that aluminum one with a push buttons you’re right Joey that they suck but the metal detectors great

Joey I agree with everything you say we should have a better chef I mean I don’t understand it it’s on the it’s on the bank with my left foot carbon shelves on the bike which you know with all three models with a camshaft it flips over and we shouldn’t have to go out and buy another shower for equinox for the money we pay but on Steve’s is the best I mean it’s they got several people making them and selling them and Steve carbon fiber shaft me in there he makes custom ones and he’s like I said he’s got a counterweight that goes on the butt it’s a thing you can unscrew the cap and you can put different weights on it and waited how you want it and I mean it’s excellent it’s excellent you know what I’m saying but I do agree with you they should’ve put a carbon fiber shaft on the equinox we shouldn’t have to spend that kind of money and get that cheap aluminum you know but I just got one that’s colored it should be here in the next couple days I got a blue oneHe he he makes some really nice custom ones made it camouflage ones in all different colors

Eu gostei do que falaste, estou muito interessado em comprar um detetor de metais, gostaria imenso que me podesses dar uma opinião, qual o detetor que devo comprar, pois eu estava realmente interessado em comprar um desses dois detetores que criticaste.!!? Obrigado.

My mind lab for 40 I don’t understand it mine lab put a carbon shaft on the fourth at 3:40 to 440 in the 540 in and they put a carbon fiber shaft on in but they don’t put the carbon fiber shaft on the equinox 600 or 800 so like I said I ordered me a carbon fiber shaft for my 600 and the soon as it comes in I’m gonna put it put it on my new 600 and I’ve got the one it’s got that from Steve got the counterweight balance on the back where I can adjust the weight and you can balance it on one finger your wrist doesn’t get tired or nothing
