There's plenty of comments and user reports about both machines here on PA already, what's the problem with deciding between them?

In case you didn't realise, the Equinox 800 was replaced by the upgraded 900 model late last year. There's PA reports/comments on that one from users too.
 
Morning junkdog,

I have only used an Equinox 800 so can't really comment. However, plenty of people have used both and done comparisons.

If you look on Detector Prospector and search the tag 'Legend' you'll get a lot of hits. A couple of results are below.

It really sounds like you would be splitting hairs re: which one is better.

Personally though, if i was going for an Equinox I would be looking at a 700 or a 900 as all of the issues have been ironed out.

If you are only looking for treasure then the 700 without the gold mode is every bit the detector as the 900. However, it does lack some adjustability that you might want.

Good luck with your choice.

junkdog,.... as a Legend user myself I would just add that if value for money and reliability is a consideration, then you can’t go past Nokta products. Plus if you want to add extra coils to your arsenal, then the Legend has four to choose from without breaking the bank.
I’m not knocking the Nox, as it is also a great detector, but they have had their issues ( especially the 800 ) albeit with ML’s excellent warranty service.
Performance wise the two detectors are pretty equal, but value wise the Legend is a clear winner,
Cheers.
Ps... I have a thread with my Legend finds.
 
All good , have chosen the nokta pro with 2 coils its in the mail . tks for all the info .
Hey junkdog. So far mate, just wondered how you're getting on with the legend? I'm considering getting the one with the lg30 coil in the pro pack (6 inch coil included also) l. I'm looking at beaches and park playgrounds to start eventually maybe go do a bit of prospecting (just wanted to give context of why I'm asking.) Cheers mate 👍
 
If you’re Australian, then ‘maybe’ buy from an Australian company like Minelab X-Terra Pro, Equinox 900, or Manticore??
Hey thanks Deano. Was tossing up between the 900 and the legend. But no discounts in sight/ the value for me is goanna lie with the nokta especially as looking to do some gold down the track with it compared to other similar priced detectors. Thanks mate
