However, it was the Equinox 700 that stole the show, showcasing enhanced depth capabilities and remarkably precise target identification. It opened up a whole new realm of detecting possibilities, revealing treasures that might have gone unnoticed by other detectors.

Interestingly, both the 600 hundred and 700 hundred are somewhat unfairly neglected detectors, overshadowed by their bigger brothers. It's probably the case that when searchers are deciding on buying an Equinox, most end up going for the higher model.

I would say the equinox 700 is 10 times better than what I had previously, it could pick up signals way deeper than anything I could before and has much better target ID

I upgraded from a 600 to a 700. I love mine,it’s an all terrain detector. Can go anywhere. I split my time between old house sites and the beach. I’ve never been brave enough to totally submerge it, but I submerge the coil in salt water all the time.

If you've got a Noctis Simplex Plus and you want to upgrade, this is a great upgrade. I'm telling you, you know, you'll do really well with this. Uh, on the downside, I can't stand this handle. This grip, the Nocti grip is far better, far more comfortable. And when you're wearing gloves, especially in the winter, this handle feels too big.

Got a teeny teeny tiny bullet, red bullet, which I'm glad it's picking up some small signals, but it's frustrating on the coin front. I did have like a a broken or cut. Well, it was broken. It was a broken copper half coin or button. Uh unidentifiable. Um so yeah, frustrating.
