Use the right tool for the right conditions/job at hand....
The Equinox 800 is a pretty good machine...but has a max depth rating of 10'...
I have multiple detectors, because different jobs require different machines.
Tesoro Tigershark for freshwater diving...good to 180'
Minelab Excaliber 1000 "Bluetube" for saltwater work, beaches, wading etc that require being able to discriminate targets....
I use a aquapulse AQ1 B for most of my deepwater ocean work because it is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to recovering old Spanish silver and gold specie....and it's tougher than nails when getting banged around getting on and off a salvage ship 40 miles offshore in less than " nice" conditions lol.
You will need to have different detectors based on what you actually want to do, where, and how.
