The Equinox is switch on and go, that's why it has default settings, park, field, beach, gold. The ORX is based on XP's excellent gold prospecting specific detector the Depar 600 with very simplified 3 tone only Deus 1 Fast and Deep programs added.Įither detector can be setup for switch on a go operation easily by the way. So the Equinox is an Australian/Malaysian Swiss army knife detector.go anywhere do any type of detecting basically. Not so for the ORX.(been there and did that). It will also work very well at saltwater beaches too. Even though it has had some leaking issues, it is still basically waterproof and if it is under warranty, water damage to the control box is covered. Turning down the sensitivity and using the Equinox really nice single digit notching can really help cut down on the amount of target chatter. It is also one of the hottest, meaning even in default Park 1 it will sound off on the tiniest targets you can imagine and some really deep targets also. So, the Equinox 800 is still one of the best simultaneous multi frequency metal detectors ever made. I wouldn't hesitate to own an ORX for gold prospecting.Those gold modes are half of the modes on the ORX however.
Deeper than that, the ORX in its coin/jewelry/relic mode was basically an "if it beeps.dig" detector which gave me very little information other than there was a target under the coil.The Gold modes for gold prospecting were outstanding. The ORX, at least in the dirt I often hunt in, had accurate target IDs for the first 3 to 4" of dirt on coin sized targets. The reason I moved on from the selectable single frequency ORX was because the coin/jewelry/relic modes had far too limited features and settings for me, my targets and sites. I have found small to tiny nuggets with both detectors. The ORX gold prospecting modes are also excellent. The Equinox having outstanding simultaneous multi frequency technology, enables it to ground balance well on most difficult ground conditions while it also has extreme sensitivity to tiny targets. Since this is the gold prospecting section of this forum.I will say without a doubt that the Equinox 800's gold prospecting modes are fantastic and near or at the top of the VLF gold prospecting detector hill.
Also do you need the best ergonomics available for a VLF detector (ORX, Deus 1, Deus 2) or do you need a very versatile, simultaneous multi frequency, hunt just about anywhere on any target types detector with the features and settings adjustability to keep you busy (and learning) for a long time? = Equinox 800 and now also Deus 2. So, for me it all depends on what targets you are hunting and what kind of sites you are hunting. Still own the Equinox and Deus 1 and Deus 2 which are more complicated versions of the ORX.
