Great company

I have owned 3 other detectors and the minelab 800 is the best. I’ve gone over areas that I’ve searched recently and I’m finding coins that I missed With other detectors you won’t be disappointed with this detector

Minelab Equinox 800 Metal Detector

These are just what I have needed. If i had one critique, it would be for the feet to have the ability to swivel. Other than that, perfect.

Great company

Enjoyed dealing with a great company. The minelab 800 is a very good detector I went Back over areas that I already detected with my other detector and found more coins. Very pleased with the machine. It was also nice to receive the 15% veteran discount

...Gold MONSTER !...

Received this detector in a very reasonable time frame. As a veteran I got a discount without free gifts...can't think of a better qualification for them but it is what it is...next time you bring the ammo !...I am very pleased with the detector and will be heading to New Hampshire before long to give it a go...Pan On !!!...

Great Service

Service was quick, easy and the communication was great. I have my Manticore setup and I could not be happier. What an amazing machine!

Very happy!!!

I spoke with Daniel and ordered my Minelab X-terra Elite. He was very friendly and helpful. I got a great deal, plus some free goodies such as a top-of-the-line Minelab pinpointer, hat and finds bag. Shipping was fast and free and there was no sales tax. My detector and headphones are now fully charged, and I'll be trying them out today for the first time. I hope to be getting a Nokta Legend within the next year which I'll order from Modern Metal Detectors.

I like how the delivery was quick. I ordered minelab x-terra elite expedition early Tuesday morning on April 22nd. I received the product mid afternoon April 23rd. My first medal detector. I took x terra out to couple parks. I found beer cap first park. Found penny & pull tab at second park. I used the 8in coil the two parks. The ml-85 headphones sound good. Plan take it out to other parks. Find Soccer field(s) around me. Then use the 12in coil in the field . I am satisfied so far. Still learning about medal detecting

Gold Monster !

The transaction was flawless and the assembly was a breeze. It’s light as a feather. And it’s going to Maine with me on the weekends…

Nox 800

I'm coming from the minelab xterra pro. Having learned on the pro, the switch to the nox 800 was seamless. Both machines have the same function layout. Making the adjustments and running through the menu is the same. I'm very happy with the purchase. From ordering to shipping, everything was easy and quick. Looking forward to swinging the new 800 for treasures.
