Nice review, short clear and concise. I just ordered one thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!. thanks for dropping in and for supporting 🙏 little channels.
Thank you for your video ! I doubted whether the 900 would be significantly better than the 800. I've been using the 800 for 6 years and I'm ready for something new. The XP deus 2 also attracted me very much, but the large coil that I bought separately does not fit. That was a welcome addition to your video. Thanks again and greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks ❤️ for dropping in. bedankt. My family is dutch. Mum born Breda. Thankyou so much for dropping in.
Great video Thanks for the info. looking at the 900 so far.
No worries pelon
Thanks pj for the 900 review. Up grading to the 900 tomorrow
Oh sweet. I'll get mine after Christmas 🎄 😌. Ty for your support. Enjoy your holidays..
Ahahahhahah you fool.
Great review PJ, but I’m savings for the Manticore,
I’ve already got the two coils, I’ve never purchased the fifteen inch, so the 800 will be my spare and the Xterra 705 my spare spare..
merry Christmas 🎄
Yeah awesome my wife won't let me buy the manticore....just so much fkn money...have a great Christmas Jim. Thsnks for the kind words mate. Next review will be better.😁
super professional review there bro!!!!
Struggled thru that one my friend 🤣.
Cool video, love that minelab polo shirt
it was awesome bro
Good review I'm getting one !
thanks mate...don't forget to subscribe for all our giveaways
Great review and information.
Hey brother. Merry Xmas ❤️ mate.
Solid video mate well done
Thanks mate 👍. Should get easier now after my first. I know we're to improve. C u today big fella.
I think the main reason for the 700 and 900 is because the old ones kept getting sent back brokenn
Funny u said that I just sent mine back. Only year old...🤣
Great video and decent review. But if you want to check depth on both machines try lowering the recovery speed to 1 and throw your arm a little slower (real slow). Sensitivity gives you 0 depth on those machines. Also take it out of multi and run 10khz. YOU will be suprised at the depth you will get. Overall I kinda liked your video. I really need some more bare bones testing done but i'm leaning 900 just because of the collapsed shaft size and the 800 coils still work with it.
thanks for tips mate..refreshing getting froendly tips not hate so thank you..I just went out with a friend who has the 600. I was picking up scratchy targets that the 600 was really struggling with....big difference...I'm doing apex vs 900 video this weekend and I'll try what you said....we don't claim to be experts and I never have....thanks for ya support..
Mine came with three coils in Feb 2024, Minelab deal included a 15 inch - so a great deal.
I was mega pissed I missed out on that one. great deal. thanks for dropping by.
Good stuff mate 💙🏖👍🇬🇷
Yooooo PJ! You’re like the George Carlin of metal detecting. Somehow You managed to take a clean, wholesome hobby and turn it x rated!! Because of you, Parents all around the world are probably fearing the day their kids ask for their first minelab!! Haha!! You’re one hilarious Aussie. Keep up the great work mate!
That's hilarious 😂 . The videos get a bit out of control sometimes. Thanks for dropping in. Thanks for not being a hater. Merry Xmas.❤
🤣
Steve Carlin? George maybe?
@@garybarbatelli1972 hahaha! Yaaaaa. That guy!
This man is a legend in his own backyard and thanks to UA-cam he can become a legend Nationwide!! Keep up the good work my man
That recovery speed is awesome! I’ve been using the etrac for 10yrs and it would freak out if I had that many targets so close together.
hahahaha thanks for the information.
Had an etrac .. 800 is a game changer . Lighter . Downside arm rest is shiite.. and the shaft. Need upgrading ...
Good video pj, thanks for that. Q..how does it go on small gold compared to the 800?
Dam I wished I tested that. I'll make sure I do that one...good idea. 💡
Looks brill mate.
If you ever make it to England,I know some cracking fences that need jumping.
Keep vids coming and fuck the haters
Hahahaha my man!!!. Thanks for ya support...fck the haterz
I ALWAYS take a tape measure with me when I detect under water 🤣. just to make sure I don't go past 3 meters with the 800.
to be honest, I've never submerged the 800 due to some springing leaks. Great review mate.
didn't at all look like you were reading off a script 🤣
🤣🤣🤣thanks brother. Your too kind🤣🤣
Don’t get it 3 m any human being would be submerged
They updated to compete with nokta. Nokta added vibe and light to make it stand out.
Ty for watching. ❤
You look like a professional out there,, well done PJ Dregmans,, ⛏💯👍🎖
🤣🤣🤣Ty mate..
Awesome vid 👍 thanks for the info !! HH
Ty buddy
So far I'm not sold mainly for the reason that if it is just a tuned up 800 then Minelab should have done this to the 800 in the first place. It's kind of like setting your house on fire and then putting it out and wanting praise for it. I love the higher ID though, but that should have been on the 800 in my opinion. I am also curious about the iron bias settings. I had over 2000 hours on my 800 when I updated to the new F2 setting. That update turned a good machine into a mediocre one and it was reverted back that night.
thanks for the review though. subbed
know it was a crappy review soz....I totally agree with you some of these improvements could've been done with an update or something. hey thanks for dropping in and zubbing. really appreciate 🙏 it.
Pls do a test to a large buried object on its maximum depth cabapility
that's a great idea 💡. See what I can do..
I think we'll I will keep the 800.
thanks for dropping in Stephen ❤️ 🙏
Thanks 4 tips
thanks for dropping by 🤟💯👌
Worth it? What if I don't want the small coil? Maybe because of better construction, added features and inflation, i wouldn't pay more than 100 USD with single coil.
How about doing one on upgrading from the Vanquish 540 Pro Pack to The Equinox 700? I have one on the way on order.
Not a bad idea that one. Thanks for 👀 dropping in. Definitely looking at more reviews after Xmas. Enjoy the holidays..
Vanquish is just a scalled back Nox. Same performance but way less features. Still an under rated machine. I love mine and my nox. Still yet to find a Sov with my nox.. but the Vanquish got me my first Sov.
@@DirtFishinDave yes my Vanquish 540 is an awesome machine for sure.
Liked your honesty in compering the two machines but iv already got the carbon shaft for my 800 and I use a coiltek coil on the machine so I honesty can't see the point of buying a 900. To be quite Frank with you I prefer my deus 1 and legend before the nox, this 900 just seems too much like the 800 and most nox users over here in Britain have changed out all the bad bits already so to change it seems a pointless exercise unless your old 800 is dropping to bits
the computer in the 900 is tricked up...my 900 reads targets the 800 won't even pick up.....big difference watch my other comparison videos you will see. it's a big difference.. but it all comes down to your budget.. the 800 is a go find compared to the 900.....thanks for your support.
Needed to talk about battery life and how its charged. Other than that great vid. I rock a simplex and it can go 8 hrs or more straight and is charged by usb not batteries. Happy Safe Holidays
Mine lab wouldn't answer any questions about battery. Believe me I tried. Simex batteries destroy everything on the market .
@@fencejumpers straight out = for sure . Just our lingo in our woods. thanks for answering back. Keep up the swearing and fence jumping. My best coin yet was on private land. No perm
Hahahaha 😆 what's a permission 🤣????. Thanks for your support. Yeah I miss my simplex. Stay cool loopy
900 just like the legend the shaft is awesome on legend as well at cheaper price though
heard great things from close friends about the legend. thsnks for dropping in mate 👌
Legend in the game big Peter
D-TRAIN IN DA HOUSE! ❤
I can honestly say yes it’s a better detector over the 800 I just got mine could not wait for the Manticore.
I will wait awhile to maybe buy the manticore when the hype has worn off and people are selling barely used ones
Good idea. Way to expensive for me. Thanks for dropping in mate 👍 🙌 🙏
You said it son. Hype. You are one that's caught up and participating in it, making sales for minelab as intended. You're the perfect type of customer lol
And your giving me views generating revenue...lol. your a legend.
traded my 800 and got a 900 it was so erratic and chattered constantly i returned it so now may get another 800. had the 900 and coils checked and they said they were ok.
@@geraldmessier9495 the 800 and 900 are so close to being alike
The legend already have all those description and for less money. Did Minelab copy those description?
No other machines use same vdis however your right simplex always used those better vdis and half the price...thanks for watching
Hi PJ. Watchn Now!
I wish i did more tests. Merry Xmas bro
Getting the manticore myself 😀
Lucky mutha fkr
Not sure why minelab are bringing out 3 new machines at the same time...iyo is the manticore worth paying the extra dollar?
It goes deeper and people have fallen in love with the 2d display. I know my budget so I'll stick with the nox900.
Cool Stuff.
Ty bro
I subscribed to both
Yes thankyou. 😁 thanks for dropping I.
Don’t get me wrong. The extra features of the 900 do seem pretty cool but there’s just not enough to make me want to upgrade from the 800. If you’re gonna get the 900, you might as well just go all in and get the Manacor
thanks for commenting and watching the video. this was just a typical features video. however after owning the both machines I did a thorough performance review on both machines. check out my new equinox 900 performance explained video. anyways performance wise the 900 makes the 800 look like a simplex. so to spend a few extra dollars is well worth it. once again really appreciate you supporting my small channel ❤️ and please check out 800 vs 900 video and my 900 performance explained video. you will see the difference....
"Good for jumping fences and trespassing!" 🤣🤣
Nox 900 looks SICK! 👌
Hahahaha you know what we do.😆
Get some good land first and after we can talk about upgrading a machine for more a cosmetic purpose . Lovely red dispay and lightweight anything else ?
plenty more. I think it's a good upgrade..
Minelab sold all those 800 series detectors for a high price tag. They had so many problems such as arm cuffs breaking, coil ears breaking and the most of them leak like old baskets. Now they got the 900 series out thinking that people are gullible enough to put their hand in their pockets and give away their hard earned money again. Minelab should be giving these thing out for free with a full apology for the junk that they sold their customers to start with what a nerve, Just my opinion!! I would never buy their garbage. Just listen to that crazy machine chatter, so irritating. I would never buy such a machine for $400 more than what their last piece of trash was!! 😂😂😂😂
let's see if these arm cuffs last longer than a year and as for the chatter it can absolutely crazy hectic in some spots, worse on the 900, but on the beach it's a dream. it's nearly a completely new machine and out performs the 8. however brother you speak the truth. thanks for speaking up. stay cool 😎
I don't know if the UK gets this but in the US the 900 comes with 2 coils and wireless headphones $1,099.00 !!!
В России сегодня примерно 1300 дол)
First video I’ve watched of yours, and the last
Ty 4 commenting. Your opinion means soooo much.🤣
I can truthfully say I am going back over old grounds and FINDING TWICE as much, and yes I have the 800.I NOW HAVE THE 900 IT'S IT'S ASSUME.
today I had target on the 900 and it was clear as day then my mate went over it in the 600. it was struggling. Big difference. thanks for dropping. much appreciated 🙏
Go lions!
loved waking up to this. much respect ❤️ bro......
I tried both machines seems like the 900 needs a update. The numbers jump around a lot. On the 800 not so much
you are spot on. 👌
I've found it doesn't jump on solid targets so much but jumps and crackls on tin products and iron
i returned my 900 hated it, numbers jumping all over and constant chattering no matter what i did, i changed frequencies, coils and settings with no luck.
I'm not upgrading from my 800. even with the 2 tele-knox stems, the stock coil, 6 inch coil, coiltek 10x5 coil, id be lucky to get £600-£700 for it now. then I'd be saving for a year to make up the difference to get the 900.
it's going to be a great machine for anyone that wanted a nox, but for anyone with a nox, the sensible upgrade would be the manticore 👍
I hear you mate. Jody won't let me buy manucure so Ill just sell the 800 for whatever I can get maybe some plugs or something...then go get the 900. Then I get the small coil 2 includes so that works for me. But yeah cash grab at Christmas 🎄 😌
I agree. I have 800 and Don't think the 900 will make significant difference. Thinking about Manticore. Would like it to come with large coil though. My tele-nox started cracking and slides out of clamps. Will have to replace it.
@@925inder2 with the tele-knox, I have the camlock levers on top of the stem when locked. my dad had his on the sides and it clamps against the weakest part so his split.
my way it clamps against the strongest part and I dont have any issues 👍
@The Dark Knight Detectorist good observation. My clamps or on the side as they originally came. Maybe that is assembly issue.
@@925inder2 I'd say. and they don't seem interested when you have an issue. they just accuse you are not having it set up right lol
For gold ask coffey bush kid about the 900.
great channel thanks for dropping by. 😀
I like how the 900 has a light for searching.
tops hey
Плохо , что красный цвет🤗Навязчиво !живём в России)И ещё, прямая линия телескопической штанги не эргономична! Трудно и долго менять катушки, боишься, что сломаются уши! 👈🤔
FYI, air testing is an inaccurate metric on performance depth!
💯. Thanks for watching 👀
Looks like I'll be buying a Minelab Equinox 900
Merry xmas😆
I need this neww 900 so bad!!¡
I can't wait....😁
You are a legend lol 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😇😇
Legend in my own lunch time. 🤣. Stay well buddy.
The coil might be picking up you watch when you are flat on the grass with the coin test.
And all the shit in my yard
Good review 👍
THANK you N.E.C❤
where is the equinox 900 made...Malaysia ???
Yes and Australia
@@fencejumpers ok..thanks a lot ...friends...I wanted to buy manticore but I don't know how much better it is than equinox 900..I'm in a dilemma what your advice would be ?
Where can I buy 1??
Any detector shop buddy
amazon
we know where PJ is gonna stick th control box now its got vibrate features. 😂😅😂😜😂
🤣🤣🤣. That's a given...🤣🤣🤣
we are given a test among so many interferences, I don't think how many, it was impossible to find a free field
yes my yard is terrible 😫. good idea field nxt time
still not upgrading from 600
Soon as pork chops hits his 1000 I'll get his old one lol yes brother I will be a metal detector yay lol 😇😇
Worst sales pitch ever
Thanks for watching 👀 🤣
@@fencejumpers no worries would you rather 0.1 cent and a dislike each time? Sure. It will do more damage than watching once and not leaving a thumbs down. R.i.p. you obviously don't know how this stuff works. I'll add to the contribution of destroying the exposure of your channel b3cauer you're a faker anyway that sounds like nothing but a bad GOOSE LOL
@@Brandanmayhew thanks for commenting🤣 and the 001cent❤
Cringeworthy intro 😨
thanks for watching 👀 or should I say thanks for feeding thr chickens 🐔
@@fencejumpers well a more charitable comment would be to advise tighter editing. You can practically see the dust ball roll past in the gaps you left
Just get a Manticore and be done with it
sound advice😎
