Equinox Field Set Up and Gigtips!

[@jerrycox2058]

Yes, your video is one of the best on instructing the Nox set up. clear and precise and you can see the actual adjustments as you make them. explanations are good too. I hadn't used my 600 for several months and managed to get it out of sorts. did the reset etc and good to go again. watched this video for a quick refresher and all is well again. my memory isn't what it used to be but videos like this are awesome for guys like me or newbees. thanks Jerry/Dirtlooter

Good class on this Detector.He gives good tips on what numbers to dig and the way to set up this awesome detector.

[@frankwalker9276]

Thanks Gig, helpful as always going to be hitting some big farm Fields coming up don't use field mode much so this was helpful you are the man !!!

[@jarettgustafson3611]

I completely agree I got frustrated ad left mine sitting for a few months. It's xmas and I'm headed out today. The fluctuations of numbers makes sense I can't wait to try this

[@dardobartoli]

I'm an occasional detectorist, and still come back to this single video for refreshing my knowledge. This is by far the best video out there for beginners to intermediates Thnaks

[@Gigmaster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikenichols9384]

This is the best damn equinox video available hands down! Wow you are awesome gig!

[@triptonmiller8532]

Thank you for showing and not just telling. Also for teaching at normal speed. This video has taught me so much. Keep up the good work.

[@shroyer7194]

One of the best videos I’ve seen. Several years later too

[@dianehassevoort2053]

Thank you for explaining all the features at a normal speed. I just bought the 600 for my 65th birthday today. I appreciate your instructions one step at a time without talking so fast. :)

[@iamithink284]

I'm new with metal detecting and get frustrated trying to listen to other instructional videos. This one was exactly what I needed, helpful information and hints, one after another, kept me watching and I learned a lot about the machine I did not know.. Thank you

[@Gigmaster]

Awesome, thank you!

[@luvbgrass]

Absolute best video i have watched on set up of Equinox. Thanks for your time.

[@LoneWolf-479]

This video is perfect & exactly what I needed. Had my first outing with my Nox 800 today & ended the day pretty frustrated & a little overwhelmed trying to find the right settings. Now I'm much more excited to hit the field tomorrow & start fresh. THANK YOU!

[@lynnpenati2694]

This is exactly the video I was looking for- the nitty gritty with how-to with tips. Thank you, sir!

[@gregs2509]

Thanks for the tips! I'm getting a 600 for my 67th birthday as soon as the mail gets it here. Previously my only experience is with the gold monster in the desert. We have moved to Kentucky and I am going to have to learn new tricks!

[@jerrydineen2827]

By far you have the very best videos on the Nox 800. I have learned so much from your videos. I don't know what you did for a living but you should have been a Preacher or a Teacher because you know how to get someone's attention and keep it. Thank you so much!

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Thank you for the perfect quick start and setup of the EQ800. This is a great standard to use and then modify afterwards to what works best for you.

[@gordonpeden6234]

Just bought a second hand (mint condition) Equinox 600 today In came with two instruction pamphlets English and Russian! I may as well have read the Russian instruction for all the good it did. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and experience. I'll watch this resource a few more times. Again Thanks!

[@anthonyvenish1755]

i have the same problem hows it going

[@anthonyvenish1755]

thank you very much you helped me a lot, am from South Africa 67 yrs old used to have the Fischer 1280 now the 600 trying very hard to understand this and you have helped my next one will be the beach settings if I could would like to message you, maybe on face book once again thanks

[@marcb56]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge,Ive had a sovereign XS2Apro for 12 years and knew that machine inside out,this week I bought a NOx 600 and I was not confident in its capabilities.,I could not comprehend the language it was speaking to me.Actually was thinking of selling .Now that I saw this video I now realize I hadn't set it up properly I will be using your tips and tricks.Thank you so much !!!

[@michaelwyatt1143]

Intelligent,simple explanation,so will help me set up, here in the U.K.. Still using my Minelab Sovereign XS2- Pro-A (22 years old), so upgraded to the Equinox 600. Many Thanks

[@ronstanley9873]

Hey Gigmaster,I went to Kellyco,and I got my equinox 800 today,asked for the gigmaster discount,,they looked at me like I was crazy,,enjoy your videos immensely,hope to see you out there some time........

[@Gigmaster]

🤣

[@dironowens4632]

New to the Nox and by far one of the best videos with loads of real time information. Thanks a million. Keep up the great work

[@joeswff]

Very, very, very helpful to a new E user, you explained so much and make it so much easier. Super thanks.

[@steveblauser9297]

I have seen lots of metal detector videos, this is one of the best I have ever seen!

[@mikenichols9384]

Yes it is...I’m gonna marry that gig master!

[@Zipties...And...Dreams]

Just bought one yesterday. Great machine and GREAT video explanation.

[@karlabaumgardner6503]

Just saw this video & subscribed to your channel also. You did an amazing job explaining how to use the Equinox 600. I just got this machine 2 days ago & hopefully I will be able to work it. Lol. I'm sure I will be watching all your videos & asking lots of questions too. Best of luck to you on find treasure while on your vacation. Be careful & have a blast too.

[@Chris-yy5yc]

I just bought a equinox 800 , never detected before but always wanted to, hence the reason I bought it, your video has helped me understand the machine alot better, thanks 😊

[@Gigmaster]

Good to hear! Good luck! Get some exercise! That is the treasure!

[@tonybrooks934]

I'm a beginner and I just bought a equinox. Was totally lost. That's as simple as it gets. Thanks a bunch for explaining the settings in a way everyone can understand it.

[@danielboyle7631]

Im a beginner and just bought one too!!

[@tonybrooks934]

@@danielboyle7631 big learning curve from the toy one I bought a few months ago. Starting to figure the basics out. Have to say, I'm really impressed so far with it.

[@SSGSINCLAIR]

Thank you very much for this video. I am “trying” to switch from my AT Pro to a new Equinox 600. Took it out once and got frustrated. Your video helped me out a lot.

[@Gigmaster]

Glad to hear! Keep gettin up!

[@susansmith6680]

You always take your time to teach and share and I thank you for that.

[@chrishumphries1516]

Hear here !!

[@michaelclark2840]

Recenty purchased an Equinox 800 and I have found your setup videos to be very valuable. Thankyou very much for posting. They have been a big help.

[@Gigmaster]

Michael Clark Glad to hear that. Good luck out there.

[@Jim_1955]

Just purchased a Nox 600 and that was really helpful , thank you very much

[@abcdefg5185]

Hey great video..... Ive just bought my first Equinox (First ever metal detector in my life ) Explained the set up really well. Life saver. So many things to learn. Thank you

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Absolutely fantastic, even years later ! Great refresher course. Thanks for making this video.

[@mikehutchins7963]

I’ve watched this video about 3 times now & always learn something. Great approach to using your head & digging the solid repeatable consistent tones. Good video Gigmaster. Thanks for doing it. ATB.

[@SheepDogActual]

Thank you, just bought a 600 with 2 coils. This helps a lot. The Gig is great.

[@BoxerDogs]

Last weekend, I went detecting in a wooded area in Northern Virginia. I figured the best detect mode to use would be Field 2. I used the settings in this video. My sensitivity was around 15. I kept having issues where it seemed like the target/signal kept jumping around. I would dig a signal, then then signal wouldn't be there. When I scanned the dirt that I threw aside from the hole I dug (dirt pile 1), sometimes there would be a signal in dirt pile 1. Then when I would sift through it, I wouldn't find anything. I would scan dirt pile 1 again and no signal. As I went through dirt pile 1, I would throw aside some dirt (dirt pile 2). After dirt pile 1 yielded nothing, I would scan dirt pile 2 and sometimes get a signal only to find nothing as I went through it. This cycle kept going on and on. I would find nothing in the original hole I dug. I would also find nothing in the dirt piles I threw aside. What is happening here?

[@Gigmaster]

That's a tough one to figure out. Try turning the sensitivity down!

[@grahamworthy100]

Just got my first detector a box 600 and found you instruction just what I was wanting. Thank you for your efforts to help beginners. Found two horse shoes. Two musket balls bullet buckle old nails and some old cans etc . Hope to find some old coins as this area has Roman history etc

[@Gigmaster]

You are on a roll!

[@ansuz444]

Great informative video showing all the different things. Very glad you showed a gold nugget too!

[@brianfitzpatrick6554]

Gigmaster speaks the Truth. I chose to dig many junk targets before i cud trust the machine. It rarely lies but ive got a hard head and im a Trust but Verify kinda guy. Thanks again Mr Gigmaster 👍👍

[@JN-pi2fw]

still using this setup , you did the best set up I've seen.

[@Gigmaster]

Thank you! Good luck out there!

[@ortega181956]

great info. I am getting the hang of this unit because of your excellent presentation. One 10k ladies multiple diamond chip ring and plenty of clad coins. Great job Sir. Thank you.

[@treasureexplorationandrese3712]

I love my Equinox 800! Good tips and easy set up guide! I mostly detect in areas where I want to dig every target, but I recall one area that I didn't want to dig every metal scrap and now I know how to do that. Thanks for showing us examples of the equinox target numbers!

[@pipinfool]

Thanks so much for lowering my learning curve on this machine and how to learn tone. Should make things even more enjoyable.

[@gregharrison7631]

Hey gigmaster that is the best and easiest to understand tutoring for the equinox I've seen that is going to help me to better set up my nox 800 and do it faster and with more confidence thank you so much and hh

[@kumaranandanand6098]

Just get my equinox 800, this vedio helped me lot. Thanks

[@craig6444]

Just got an Equinox 800 yesterday. SO glad I found your video! Awesome explanation. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to use this awesome machine!

[@toddhansen4257]

I have been looking how to use the equinox 600 many videos , wow yours is awesome wish I would found this one right away! Very nicely done thank you for posting this !

[@philipbebbington3180]

got to say gig master best video i have watched , if you lived in the uk i would pay for tuition , great delivery simple to understand

[@bobolsen7921]

yes, yes....your vid is the best ive seen yet. easy to follow. and i use to be as goodlooking as you

[@tomcrank8701]

Just got the Nox 800 and found this video to be the best so far in demonstrating the signals. Had to chuckle on the can slaw dignal because I just ran into that yesterday and was scratching my head trying to figure it out until I dug it. Can't tell you enough how much this helps. Great job!

[@G5ranch]

Thanks for sharing this information amazing how I learn new things each day about the equinox 800 thanks again

[@MrJasonw79]

Just got a nox 600.Great video. Thanks for the expertise.

[@chrishumphries1516]

Big thanks for your dedication posting the video's Gig!

[@foolsgold1118]

Gig I don’t even own a 800 and I still watched video. That was a great demonstration on use! But I do have gold monster, lol

[@MarkStacey-tv3kr]

I just got the 600, found this very informative thanks....Mark...

[@insaneturbo]

Awesome video, glad I found your channel. Good to the point information here. I've owned my 800 for a year and this has helped understand what I need to do to dial it in better and understand the machine. Thanks much!

[@howardtwardokus6785]

Thank you very much, this video gave me a better idea on how to use this detector than the book did. Excellent tutorial and a great teaching style.

[@terrycourt123]

Taking mine out on Sunday in England ,hope to get Hammered coins and possibly Roman.Thankyou for a very informative video.

[@craigwesson1788]

Great video. Helped a lot to learn how things are set up and the sounds objects make ! Thanks.

[@colonialfiend]

Awesome settings Steve, I'm impressed. It's a pretty wide open profile and coupling that with adjusting sensitivity based on site is the way to go. Good job. I do want to recommend to find the "occupied" site and grid it tightly. Look for the iron patch and plan your attack...grid it tightly and dig every good tone, high or low. The 50 tone is actually awesome especially if you're in an iron patch

[@paulhaynes3688]

Thanks for the demonstration very helpful just got my Nox 800

[@huntingeverythingwithmikem3458]

Thanks for the set up and tips you made it easy to follow

[@steves7730]

Excellent video. Just ordered my 800 and will be here in a couple of days. Can't wait to use your ideas

[@Gigmaster]

If you use it daily get the detect ed shaft. Link in my amazon page.

[@akamaikiwi]

Thabk you for these specirics, i knew i was missing some steps this weekend

[@ronalddvorak1967]

Very good demonstration on how to use the Equinox.

[@wbindia]

excellent video Gigmaster! I just bought the Nox 800 late Dec 2018, and have used it about 5 times, still learning sounds and the "can slaw" scenario you showed made sense as it is jumping all over the place; it makes sense if you can not get consistent VDI reading from hitting the target from different directions, chances more than not it is junk, when compared to lead bullet, button or coin. Good tips!

[@harrysurtees8710]

Thank you Gig. Excellent video.

[@josiejohnson1326]

great video, im currently waiting for my 600 to be delivered 2moro! iv jus got rid of my minelab x-terra 705 so menu set up is along them lines anyway, obviously 600 has new features but youve explained them so well thankyou! other videos have lost me. will be watching again a few times over once machine is in my hand x

[@hankspangle3867]

Thank you so much for this excellent video. You should be on commission from Minelab your videos are so good.

[@craig374]

Very in depth vid. Just what I needed thank you

[@ericjohnson1472]

Great instructions video mate, and great practical tips, thanks

[@Stettenbauer]

Your doing a great service to KZbin and the hobby . Great instructional videos!

[@tomcambskeeper566]

Finally a video that helps, thank you. I think il be watching this quite a lot 👍

[@tedinvt4631]

Good stuff! A lot of the target tips also work for other detectors. The BIG factor is getting out and gaining experience with YOUR detector, no matter what that happens to be. From an AT Pro and Equinox 800 user. GL&HH

[@Gigmaster]

Ted in VT Agree!

[@davidfiori7475]

Hello Mr Gigmaster😀 Thank you for tutorials

[@johnsupa6106]

Thanks for the great Equinox 800 setup video.Any chance you could do something on hunting in fresh water streams etc. Thats my main interest at the moment and would appreciate the help.Keep the good videos going.......please!!

[@shanemcnally2157]

Excellent video , I watched it twice and it really simplifies the settings-Thanks !

[@timb.162]

Thanks for sharing the numbers great information .always enjoy your videos

[@firebellyK]

Thanks for the video. Just got my Equinox 800 last week. Big learning curve from my Garrett AT pro. First hunt was very discouraging, second hunt went better, third hunt, I found a bunch of coins and part of a broken bracelet. Starting to love this machine. Your video really helps learn how to maneuver thru the controls and set up. Thanks again!

[@alancotton7766]

I just got my Equinox today, and I have learned a lot from your very clear instruction. Thank you very much

[@metalsharxs]

Wow, thanks kind sir; this was very helpful. I only wished I had watched this before I went relic hunting and coin shooting this past weekend. Even the part about horseshoes was helpful as one of my permissions was at a riding stable. At any rate, I am getting close to having the first 100 hours of use under my belt with the Nox 600 but am still very much in learning mode. TC & HH!

[@Gigmaster]

We all stay in the learning mode! Lol

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Gig, I started using the pinpoint button more and more on my 600. It works great, problem I have with it is its so loud. I don't know if the volume can be turned down on the pinpoint mode alone. It does take a moment to use pinpoint mode , but I think it saves a bit of time because of accuracy. My next video has a target that started out nice , like a 25 and then was all over the place. From 25 to negative numbers. I almost walked away. Gave it a few more scoops and pulled out a green dime. You just never know till you dig it. Good stuff.

[@Gigmaster]

Sometimes you think you got it figured out and it makes a liar out of you. LOL

[@Col-Hogan]

Best explanation yet! Thanks!

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Very informative video. I just purchased a Equinox 600 to go with my Simplex and I know the vdi numbers are different as well as the settings. Although I love my Simplex, I look forward to taking the nox out for a spin. I appreciate you taking time out for explaining some of the settings and giving me some tips on using it.

Thank you! I’ve watched several of your beach videos and was wondering about field/park settings.

`Did you try it out yet? What do you think of it? Big learning curve? I'm buying the 600 in a few weeks. Can't wait. Happy Hunting

[@outlawjjsmith]

@@michaeljameslee1847 After purchasing the Equinox 600 two days ago I hadn't had a chance to hunt with it unilt yesterday so How About this for a very first find with the Equinox 600, I was blown away yesterday I literally took 10 steps from my car and started swinging and the detector signaled a target at 17 so I dug it and there it was about 3 to 4 inches down, A sterling Silver Ring 9.25 with a amethyst stone and diamonds all over it, I had to take a deep breath and step back, I though I was dreaming or my eyes had gone bad. What a find, After that I continued my hunt finding a hand full of clad, a spoon a large leash clasp, metal hair clip, 3 brass rifle shells and loads of trash. This hunt was in a park in Eustis. Florida. A great day for sure The Equinox 600 is for real. JJ
