Old vs New | Garrett AT Pro vs Minelab Equinox Features, Performance & More | Metal Detecting

In this video I compare the Garrett AT Pro to the Minelab Equinox series metal detectors. I simple want to shop what is available on the newer machines vs the older ones.

Good info there Andrew, I like the way you done that video very informative for people on the fence.

Great video Andrew with a fair comparison of the old vs new in similar modes.... But the 900 had one arm tied behind it's back had you turned it loose :)

Yes that would be a great video on showing the 2D screen on the Manticore that Recon suggested.

Thanks Andrew...this is a video worthy of watching/learning from.

Nice video bud!
I’m thinking about to buy one to bring to Brazil to try my luck in the rivers in the dry season, which one would you recommend for a rookie like me to get the best results in the small size and depth? Sorry about my English and thank you!

May I ask you how does the AT Max compare to the minelab eq 800? Anything seriously different that makes the other machine clearly a winner or is it about personal preferences and where you use it?

I used a at pro and had nothing but on going chatter . I tried all types of different settings on it

[bardo]

I don't like the frequency noise from the Minelab, I bought a Garrett AT Pro 8 years ago and still very happy with it.

Good video man be good to see a nautilus against modern detector

[jody]

If you were buying either of the 2.. which one would you get?

I wrote a comment before about where small lead (birdshot, pellet gun lead and 22 caliber sized lead) registers on the 2d screen. I metal detect for gold nuggets only, and even if Manticore isn't any deeper then previous detectors, but can show a difference on the 2d screen between gold and lead, it would be a huge benefit for us gold detectorist. I have passed on 2 offers of in stock manticore detectors, because I'm not sure it would be beneficial for me yet. If you get a chance and time, if you could test small lead targets mentioned above and get some info on how it registers on the 2d screen even a air test and at maximum depth of each target to see if the 2d is the same for the lead pieces at all ranges, I would be forever grateful. A video isn't necessary, if you could just write back your results, I would trust your judgment. Depending on the results, I can order a Manticore. Thank you and another great video today as well.

That minelab looks way to complicated for me. I had a bounty hunter when i was younger and found lots of great stuff with it. The at pro looks like an updated version of what i had

[JohnnyButtons]

I never bothered with VDI readings on the AT/pro. I would go by tones, squeaks, chirps and beeps lol. That screen means nothing to me 😉

[thomasnappo]

Minelab is so far advanced over Garrett..

[chaoticadventure]

To many buttons, options and unnecessary crap on the newer machines. Keep it simple and effective and run an AT PRO!

Sometimes it feels like you're cheating using the Nox.
