I have both machines. I have had the 700 longer than the 600. I bought the 600 as a spare and to entice my wife away from the XTerra Pro so that she had something better to use.Ten pence! wrote: Sun Apr 13, 2025 8:03 pm My detecting partner has the 700, I have been using a 600 since they came out circa 2018, we swapped machines for a couple of hours, I could detect(!) no worthwhile difference in performance.
Get a 600, used they can be had at very good prices.
The 600 is certainly a very capable machine, the audio seems a bit more punchy to me than the 700, which is more nuanced. Of the 2 I have to say that the 700 is noticeably better, but not by a massive amount. I do prefer it though.
Spare coils for the 600 and 800 won't be a problem because they are now the same ones as used on the 700 and 900. My 600 has the identical coil with identical lugs.
