    Equinox frequency choices

    I'm wonder what's the benefits of using a single frequency over multi frequency? Will the gold mode use both 20 &40 hertz or just one? Why? I would think always using multi would be better if multi is better. Lol

    Question to all ...Just curious

    I was wondering if anyone else has paid attention to Minelab and the line of detectors. I remember about 6 years or so ago when I got my Elite it was $598 from Kellyco for the base unit.
