    My guess is a pricing error, but hey, in the spirit of the deal, I've ordered another thing I probably wont' use… for a while…

    BIRTHDAY10 code for additional discount!

    • Savas on 27/05/2022 - 09:45

    it seems like a fun hobby , just wondering if there is any chance of finding valuable things ?

    • WonderboyJim on 27/05/2022 - 10:16
      +4

      You quickly change your parameters for what is valuable lol , I took my detector when staying on a friends piece of land and we had a great time finding used bullet cartridges and bent up tin cans. Whatever you find has a story and there is always a chance of finding good stuff wherever you are.

      • amzinguserman on 27/05/2022 - 10:24

        would be interesting in old convict sites around sydney , could find some stuff.

          • amzinguserman on 27/05/2022 - 14:03

            @neosin: it doesnt have to be precious metals to be valuable, horse shoes and such would still be cool, even old musket ammo . i said convict sites not convicts there was a few upper class hanging around town too.

    dunno if i needed a metal dectector, but i had the ozbargain fomo.

  • frostee on 27/05/2022 - 09:56

    I'm pretty sure this is legit as the item listings specifically says 'take an additional 40% off selected Minelab detectors'. Sadly it's only the Equinox 600 but it looks like the 800 is far superior but not on sale :(

    • rilebags on 27/05/2022 - 10:17
      +1

      The 600 is the gold-standard amongst detecting hobbiests. Minelab 800 is not far superior, they are almost identical machines. The 800 has a 'gold mode' but if you are serious about going to the gold fields you wouldn't be purchasing a relic detector like these best suited for parks and beaches.

  • Rojohe on 27/05/2022 - 10:15

    Ozbargain has ruined me. I'm sitting here FOMOing on a metal detector I'd use once every 6 months at best.

    Create account and add to cart to see reduced pricing

    For what it's worth I have the Go-Find-66, and it's small/light enough to take on day walks and let primary school aged kids use without too much grief. It folds up nice and compact and and is very lightweight.

    The larger more expensive ones are clearly better, but then you're getting into proper prospecting… where that's the main activity you're doing, and not an additional fun thing to do while doing other things. It's tempting to go for the big ones, but be aware that they are big bits of kit!

  • littlesoldier on 27/05/2022 - 10:21

    Just curious, what people use metal detector for? coin hunt?

    • UFO on 27/05/2022 - 10:29

      The hunt itself :). Even if you find a key or 50c piece, it's a treasure hunt… especially if you're doing it with family.

      • littlesoldier on 27/05/2022 - 10:43

        good thoughts, might get one and play with the kids

        • UFO on 27/05/2022 - 10:48
          +1

          The cheapest one above, the GoFind-66 is awesome value for $150.
          If you look at the Nat Geo stores they sell them for $300-400.
          I bought mine on sale at Anaconda for $250.
          At $150 its a deadset bargain.

          Mind you so is the big one at $390!

    You produce your original Anaconda receipt, online tax invoice or other adequate proof of purchase when returning the item.

    • KeplersLaws on 27/05/2022 - 10:46

      you'd have to do a mighty good job of repackaging it to demonstrate you've never used or opened it then! provided you don't mean you'll take <28 days looking at it in your room thinking 'should i open this'

    • rilebags on 27/05/2022 - 10:53

      You can literally broden at this price, they go for close to RRP used

      • team teri on 27/05/2022 - 11:07

        I'll have to check that out.

        Got a Equinox 600 as the first impulse buy, but after reading up on it I reckon the Vanquish 540 is better for me (more frequencies, though not submersible), so I placed a second order.

        One of them will either be a change of mind refund, or an unintentional broden.

      No problem! :)

  • team teri on 27/05/2022 - 11:23

    For those who've been using metal detectors before: which one of the 2 I ordered should I keep? The Vanquish 540 or the Equinox 600?

    From YouTube / reading specs the 540 has more frequencies, so should be better at detecting gold for example. The 600 is submersible. Any other advantages of the 600? In-built lithium battery vs AA is actually a disadvantage in my eyes.

    • Pobman on 27/05/2022 - 11:34
      +1

      I know nothing… but my quick look was you're either getting the top of the range of one line or the bottom of the range of the other. My gut says difference between will be minimal for what I might actually do with it. At the level I will use it the 540 price was simply the winner. After extra discounts the 600 was $164 more than the $215 I paid for the 540, so 76% more … I'm sure if you're really in to it the 600 is superior, but then the 600 is probably junk compared to the really expensive stuff if you are really in to it…

      Either way bargains :)

    I ordered a 600 (couldn't help myself). It was a strange ordering experience. Anaconda site wouldn't let me pick from my local store even though they had stock. Also, I don't know if anyone else had trouble paying for it as it wouldn't let me use Paypal of Visa. I ended up using Zip Pay, which it accepted. Bizarre.

  • team teri on 27/05/2022 - 11:42
    +2

    OP: you might want to update the title, they have applied the 40% twice, making it a 64% discount compared to RRP.

    Those numbers make it look very likely that it is a pricing error (I also have a marketing email that shows a 'club price' of $649 for the Equinox 600). It will eventually get pulled, that's why I ordered for pick-up instead of free shipping. I'm waiting impatiently for my 'ready to collect' message, hoping to get in before they start cancelling orders…
