How far can it detect gold underground?

It will find gold nuggets in the 4" - 6" range, but the detector is optimized to locate jewelry, coins, etc. not nugget gold. It will find gold rings and coins in the 14 - 16" range, depending upon the soil conditions. Good detector.

Yes it will! The Equinox 800 has 2 gold programs built in the unit, Gold 1 & Gold 2 programs! There are some gold hunters that use these to find gold nuggets in old dry beds in Arizona. They have videos posted on YouTube. Great machine!

Is the display backlit for low light?

The Minelab Equinox 800 includes a backlit LED that can be adjusted for varying intensities.

Hello . It works in the mountains and rocks to reveal the solid gold.?

It can detect solid gold in nugget form. Depth may not be great, but will find decent nuggets in any terrain.
