## Questions & Answers

**Q: How deep can this detect metal?**
A: It all depends on the size of the target being detected.  There is no one answer to say a detector will go "X" amount of inches or feet.  The size of a target being detected plays a huge factor in how deep a detector(s) will detect it.  There there are things such as your settings, headphones/no headphones, is the coil close to the ground, mineralization and other stuff that also can increase or decrease your overall depth.  For the most part, this detector will find coin sized targets from the surface down to potentially a foot deep, maybe deeper with a larger searchoil or areas with very ground mineralization.

**Q: Getting a warning sign on the metal detector and it’s constantly beeping when on. I’ve unplugged the coil and plugged it back in.**
A: If the ‘warning sign’ mentioned in question is a triangle with an exclamation (!) inside, then this is not an error but an indication that the detector has sensed an overload condition and reduced the transmit power. Typically this can occur if the coil is above a substantial metal object such as a manhole cover (or powered on indoors).

The triangle does not indicate a fault.

When using Beach Mode the detector automatically senses black sand and reduces the transmit power to ensure that targets can still be detected without overloading occurring. When black sand is sensed, the Beach Overload Indicator will appear on the LCD. When this icon disappears, full transmit power automatically resumes. The icon can also appear when beach detecting and the coil is passed over a substantial iron target such as a drinks can. When the coil is moved away from the target the icon will disappear after 30 seconds or so.

With the detector outside and away from sources of EMI, power the detector on with the coil attached.
Perform Noise Cancel
Set Sensitivity to a level that makes the detector quiet.
(the detector would typically be quiet with sensitivity set to 15-20) 


The detector will be noisy if powered on indoors, which contains high concentrations of EMI.

**Q: Will this Detector be able to Detect Gold coins?**
A: Absolutely! Just not the best for small Gold flakes. The equinox is better suited for that being it has 20hz and 40hz settings. This is probably my 8th detector it is awesome. Small learning curve with ID numbers. Hope this helps!

**Q: How long does a full charge on the batterys last?**
A: Hello! The Equinox 600 has a battery life of approximately 12 hours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Qualität und Top Ergebnisse
*by M***S on 4 April 2020*

Ich hatte ja schon einmal ein Suchgerät auf Amazon bestellt, jedoch ohne Vorkenntnisse. Da verging der Spass leider bald, weil die Qualität nicht so Top war und das Gerät fast nur bei Eisen ausschlug. (Preis ca. 150 Euro). Da ich mir dachte, das kann nicht alles sein, sparte ich auf ein besseres Gerät. Ich habe mich bei ein paar Foren usw angemeldet und hab mich etwas eingelesen und kam zu dem Entschluss das Equinox 600 zu kaufen. Habe mich gegen das 800er entschieden, da dieses meiner Meinung nach nicht viel besser ist vom Ergebnis (Hab auch auf Youtube Outdoor vergleiche angesehen) Auf jeden Fall bin ich voll Begeistert, weil gleich bei meinem ersten Ausflug fand ich eine Kupfermünze von 1761 (Maria Theresia). Beim zweiten Ausflug dann eine Sammlung von 8 Münzen zwischen 1938 und 1944. Gerade bei Stellen wo man eigentlich nicht vermutet, dass da was liegen kann. Am Land und etwas abseits vom eigentlichen Hauptweg. Weitere Versuche machten auf jeden Fall Spaß! Man findet zwar nicht immer was, aber die Ausbeute ist wirklich erstaunlich. Man kann mit der Zeit auch anhand der Signalausgabe grob unterscheiden ob es sich um was Wertvolles handeln kann oder ob da wieder mal ein Alufetzen oder sonstiges liegt. Den kleinen Kindern machts Spaß und auch den großen ;) Gerade jetzt im Frühjahr freue ich mich auf weitere Ausflüge. Ich habe kein Vergleich zu Geräten um die 400 Euro, muss aber sagen, dass sich die Investition auf jeden Fall gelohnt hat, da die Einstellungen wirklich einfach von statten gehen. Was mir auch noch gefällt ist, dass man das Gerät über USB aufladen kann. So kann man unterwegs im Auto das Gerät aufladen. Was ich jeden noch ans Herz lege ist ein Handdetektor. Ist einfacher die Fundstücke im Aushub zu finden. Auf jeden Fall Top und weiterzuempfehlen! Fotos kann ich derzeit keine hochladen. Hole ich auf jeden Fall nach
