Was considering a GPZ 7000 as gold is my priority. With the Manticore coming out, would you recommend going with a good all-rounder like the Manticore (and skipping the GPZ), which hopefully will also be good at finding gold? Great channel and now subscribed. Thanks.
Flashlight, vibrating handle(neither do I use), collapsable, better build quality. It looks like they are trying to keep up with Nokta. They finally realized that performance is essential, but it's not everything. If you say it's waterproof, it shouldn't leak as the Equinoxes did, and coil ears were an issue for a long time now. The Equinox was a big improvement in weight compared to their previous models. They still have a long way to go to catch up to the Deus. Ergonomics and balance are also very important, and I think my 800 lacks in that department. While Minelab has been at or near the top of technology, it failed pretty miserably in other aspects.
I know you're not comparing the equinox to the Manticore right now. I was told that the coil on the Manticore was electronic also is that something that has to be charged separately? And the second part has to do with the coil on the 900 or 700 if it's a new revamped coil I would tend to think that it's an upgrade from the previous 800 coil or anything that went on the 800 so wouldn't it be like downgrading using coils that were for the 800 on the new 900? Thanks looking forward to more videos.🏴☠️
Hi, the Manticore coil doesn't require any charging as it doesn't contain a battery. The upgrade to the new 700/900 coils are only focused on the lug design and strength, the performance of the coil remains the same. Thanks.
I'm waiting for these new machines to actually be submerged above the brain box not just the coil . For long periods of time to see if they don't leak . Seriously this leaking is a serious matter to water detectorist . Did they really put better seals in to water proof it better only time will tell this is a bummer because this technology is so good but not if it leaks after warranty. Or even before. We will see
The IP rating has been improved on the 700 & 900, but there is one way to find out. I will take my 900 to the beach and stick it under the water and find out.
I used to love my Deus I, I spent a bit of time with the Deus II and have to admit I wasn’t overly impressed. But that said others like it, so if it works for you then stick with it 👍
Going to be interesting to see what differences I see between my Vanquish 540 Pro Pack and the Equinox 700 I ordered tonight.
Kudos to Minelab. Looks like they addressed all quality issues that everyone has been asking for them to do. Minelab rocks
CTX v Etrac similar situation with Manticore v 900. Gotta see a few comparison videos perhaps some don't need extra features bells and whistles 🙃
Has MINLAB addressed the iron issue?AND is the 2.0 on the minlab 800 compatible with the MINLAB equinox 900?🦉

Lots of choice out there at the moment.
