For most hunters who want one machine to handle all terrain types including beaches - yes, the Minelab Equinox 800 is the benchmark in this range. Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency, 5-meter waterproofing, and a track record at every terrain type from parks to competitive salt beaches. The Nokta Legend is the genuine lower-cost alternative. The Garrett AT Pro is the proven choice for hunters who primarily detect on land and in rivers with single-frequency performance. See the Minelab Equinox series for detailed comparison.
