MInelab Equinox 800 - Setting up for coin hunting

Just one of the many ways you can setup the Equinox for coin hunting. Sorry about the poor lighting it is storming outside so I had to do it indoors. Link to buy Equinox on Amazon amzn.to/3sdN8sh

[@Coemgenus618]

I just received my 800 yesterday. I've been searching for videos that are similar to what Randy Horton put out for the X-TERRA. Thanks for the help. To avoid any frustration, I headed to my local Starbucks to read the manual in its entirety.

[@adenmott8526]

Just bought the 800 a few weeks ago and was pulling nothing but garbage iron out of the ground. Set everything per your recommendations and pulled out 3 old coins at my property today, including an old copper buffalo nickel but can't make out the date. Thanks a lot for this video!

[@DavidM1384]

What a smart video. As you mention the settings vary depending on where you are working, but the way you approach setting the regions and the tones​ is great. For those of us who are new to this kind of detector, this is an invaluable lesson Thank you for taking the time.

[@DirtFishing]

Thanks....I am glad you liked it......;o)

[@2ooser]

Thanks I just got my NOX 800 today and set mine up like this. Now it’s just time I have to put in on it to figure it out. This is my first MineLab machine I owned.

[@MrTommy001]

After a mind numbing six week wait, my 800 arrived two days ago. Spent yesterday in the back yard trying to learn how this machine works. Quite a change from my old White's 5000D (ha). Today I have "detector arm" . . . Your vid is very easy to follow and I think I'll set mine up like this. Thanks for a very understandable tutorial.

[@DirtFishing]

No problem. Glad you got something out of it.

[@SeniorDetectorists]

We really enjoy your videos... really helping us learn our Minelab Equinox 800. Hubby used your same settings & it's amazing how many coins (both OLD and new) we're finding in areas we've already covered with 2 other detectors! Keep the videos coming... btw we watch your videos all the time... can't wait for the next one!

[@DirtFishing]

Thanks. Glad the settings are working out for you. As soon as I get some decent weather I will try to get out and make some more videos.

[@mesalaney7282]

Just bought an 800 ! First time out found wheats and a merc 2nd time out merc and wheats plus a dog tag from 1917 3rd time out merc silver quarter 1950 and wheats 4th time out I followed your settings in park 1 and found war nickle, wheats, 1885 Indian head cent, another 1916 dog tag, gold ring and silver ring! Plus 3 bifsAll found in yards I've pounded with my etrac! Thanks for the help! From north idaho!

I put this program on mine years ago and its all i use, Ive found gold silver artifacts and loads more and i love the few tones. Brilliant.

Awesome.......;o)

[@tkdetecting2147]

This was very helpful. Just got mine today and I appreciate the noise canceling, ground balance and tone setting tips.

[@segametaldetecting4309]

That is an awesome machine. They obviously listened to their market group and put so many things in it. Just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@jcrowe3065]

So basically. After watching this video. Without discriminating with FE or F2 I just eliminated the iron on my park on mode.. lowered my aluminum tone. And everything in the copper brass silver range pops. Thanks for sharing. Now I am excited to give this a go.

[@Genegenedtb]

I used your settings in Park 1 and they worked like a charm. Thank you very much. Other than clad and 4 wheaties i found a Sterling heart from a necklace at 6 inches.

[@DirtFishing]

That is awesome......Glad it worked for you.

[@jgdevoe]

A good video on changing some settings that I didn’t really know you could do in the fashion that you demo’s. I think I’m going to make this my custom setting and save it there and then reset the park one setting back to default and give that a try once spring gets here and the ground is uncovered again in Wisconsin and not frozen.

[@ExploringNewEngland]

great video! I just adjusted my 800 and I like it even more. but there are still some features I am foggy about. Love your video, thanks for making it. make more if you can showing off other features. you have a straight forward way about explaining it and showing it. very educational. thanks again. Brian

[@DirtFishing]

Thanks. Will try to get out some more. Our weather has been off and on.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Thank you. I just bought my new Nox 800 last week and was going nuts with the junk and aluminum. You've just helped me set it up properly. Now I can be a happy hunter 😃👍

[@peggyhiggins1069]

I love your videos. I will say that I had to call Minelab as I could not forward into the next bin when you were I believe in tones. I am a tech challenged 61 year old gal (although I run circles around my male detecting partners) and fortunately Jamie knew exactly what the problem was (5 TONE). I would LOvE to see more videos on different settings for each mode (preferably from the very start ( just turning on the machine). I have the CTX and it took me several years to figure that machine out :-). I don’t want to be in a walker by the time I get this one but we all know all machines have a learning curve. Kudos for taking your time to educate all of us. Thanks, Peggy

[@DirtFishing]

Thanks, glad you like the videos. I will try to get out and do some more.

[@melhuddleston8626]

I had a tough first day using the new Equinox detector Saturday. 2 hour hunt at parks. I only used the quick start guide with basic Park 1 / 2 to test. 2 25c 4 10c 3 5c 20 1c 100+ foil bits

[@DirtFishing]

Wow you done great. Thanks for letting me know. I used to live in Phoenix and never thought about detecting encanto park. But that was many years ago. As far as not being able to get close to metal objects I would just wait for the 6: coil.

[@jeffebner6701]

Good job finding all those coins. I live in Tucson, get a big hat. I got one from Wallyworld. AZ sun will baconize your skin.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Thanks for this video. I have had the 800 for 2 months still getting usd to it but found first gold today.

[@wbrown62]

Great video. Its still a bit confusing to me, but I have not received the 800 yet (next Monday). Looking forward to taking her out. I will certainly try these settings for some parks. Our parks are are inundated with pull tabs and foil bits. Like you wrote earlier, if I were to dig all the solid signals in a park, I would literally excavate tons of soil.

[@DirtFishing]

If you try the settings let me know how it works for you.

Hello from Russia! Good hunt!

[@harrysurtees8710]

I watched and followed your instructions years ago, "setting up for coin hunting",and thanks to you, I love my NOX 800. You made my NOX a great detector. Your video is great, and I thank you so very much. NOW, I just purchased the Deus II and am struggling with programing it. I would love it if you could make a video for my Deus II. I want the same thing, nickels sounding clear and loud, and zinc pennies barely sounding off, and copper pennies, dimes, and quarters sounding off high pitched and loud. Anyways, I thank you again for helping me with my NOX, I really appreciate it.

[@DirtFishing]

Thanks for the comments. I am glad it helped you. I do not have a Deus II or I would make the video for you. Sorry. If I get one I will do it. The video below kind of shows you how to do it. I bet it will be similar on the Deus II. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqSmk6aGidljiKs

Thanks.

[@paulcee]

i know i dig beaches but surely setting the junk for lower numbers would you not be missing out the the finer gold? best wishes Paul

[@DirtFishing]

Yes but digging beaches and digging in a public park are two different things. If I dug every signal I got in a public park I would be kicked out and the park closed to metal detecting. You have to be selective in areas like that if you want to be able to continue to detect in the future.

[@paulcee]

DirtFishing oh right well i appologise i didnt know that but i have always enjoyed your videos from way back..paul

[@DirtFishing]

No problem. If I were on the beach I would probably just use 2 tone and dig everything. But I don't live by the beach unfortunately.....;o)

[@paulcee]

DirtFishing i live near a beach but all the parks are banned, 2 toneson my beaches wouldn't work as theres way to much iron but thats another discussion 😊

[@mn2deep]

Great video Bill. I used the settings for my first 800 outing Sunday. The setup seems very close to the 2 tone ferrous I have grown to love on my 'trac. Two basic tones, not much discrimination...

[@frank31164]

thanks I just upgraded from a Whites spectrum, i cant wait to go to all the places I've combed!

[@TheJourneyIsMyDestination]

Very refreshing tutorial... Thanks for all your time and effort there! I have been watching and listening to so many videos... boy oh boy! I am on list for the NOX800. It will be my first machine. I am working to learn how the machine works, how some other machines work (a few other I like) and I am trying to bee sure I am making the correct purchase. like I said, after months of tutorials, I really like what you have done. you took a set of functions that when configured together, can offer a greater delivery of information from the machine as you work it. sound is everything to me as I learn the different machines. as I am sure most experts already know, I have realized the machine you want is the one that speaks to you clearly. some squeak, some squawk, some buzz, others have various levels, pitches, of musical tones. I have found the one that talks to me; but, unfortunately, $$$ too much money for me. So then, my learning direction changed. I now am looking at each machine to see if i can alter it's sounds to match the sound of the machine I could hear clearest. I like everything I have learned about the Equinox 800 so far. that is, I like it's ability. but when I listen to it, I don't hear the information. it takes me too long to interpret the musical tones. when I listen to machines that squeak or squawk, and they're information is delivered using subtle changes in pitch, I hear all the information given and easily process the complete information given this way. I have learned how to change the volumes on the other machines but your video, this video, has taught me how to do it on the NOX800. thank you very much. Now all this very long story is to ask... can I control the frequency of the sounds made by the Equinox so much that it changes to a squeak or squawk? rather than the musical notes? as I mentioned, I like the machine a lot already but to be able to change sound from song... to higher frequency squeaks... would really make this machine part of me. the objective of this video you have made, I think, is to show us how to KEEP the information. Instead of using the configuration to eliminate sound of things you are not interested in, you show how to keep that information but make is less obnoxious and make the things you really need to hear, come to you more easily, more clearly. So, I hope you might know this or be able to direct me on my information quest... Can I make the NOX800 squeak instead of sing musical notes? Using setting configuration or maybe even specific firmware changes...? Thanks again. John

[@DirtFishing]

I think there is only so much you can do with the tones. Now the Deus really has some audio that talks to you.....;o)

[@TheJourneyIsMyDestination]

You know me like your favorite book. thank you for your response Bill. Now I have a lot to think about ;-) John

[@henrykoellner416]

Great video Bill. So glad to see you out again, and excited about the new machine. In your opinion how does the 800 compare with your E-Trac? I know how special the E-Trac is to you. Do you think this new machine can possibly have as much depth as your E-Trac. It looks much easier to use and understand at first impression. The price is very much a deal maker. For a novice, do you recommend this machine, or is it more complicated than it looks to be. I have the Original Minelab Explorer. Could the Equinox be considered an upgrade? Thanks for any info you could provide. Tell Kenny hello from Kentucky!

[@DirtFishing]

For deep silver or coins in my opinion the Etrac is still the best. The EQ has a pretty good id and is pretty fast. It also separates real good. It is not hard to use at all and can be a turn on and go detector if you want it to be. Once the crazy rush is over the prices will come back down and you will then be able to pick used units up for under retail. don't know how long that will take but it will happen eventually.

[@bayouastro]

This is exactly why I upgraded to the 800. The "Junk" range could be renamed the "gold" range. Just depends on what you are hunting.

[@IronAntlerAdventures]

Once you set the machine where you want it will it stay set if you just turn it on without holding the power button for factory preset.

[@lanceputnam523]

Yes

[@larryisham1984]

Wow I want a 800!!! But still love my E-trac

[@detectorist9373]

Great video, thanks! I've been looking to adjust the audio response/volume gain to make deep targets as loud as shallow targets. I don't need audio to tell me how deep a target is, I just want to make sure I hear it. I tried everything, I don't think it's available.

[@detectorist9373]

Deep targets wont show VDI sometimes, but I dont even worry about VDI. I want to adjust the audio on deep targets so it's much louder.

[@thedetectorist6082]

it does not stand out in the manual.

[@thedetectorist6082]

I'm A Relic Hunter at heart but in the summer it's just too hot and we have too many beaches here in Charleston to not want to detect. I'm subscribed to you. I heard you on relics radio a while back. I love this video just have to learn my machine to keep up with this video

[@mindmeld1]

Bill.. Your video illustrating your coin setup for the 800 was one of the 1st videos that made me better understand the wonder of the tech I held in my hands. It’s a training vid that I’ve shared to many. Do you have any thoughts on configuring same for the 900? I sold my 800 to make way for my Manticore and hope to find someone that will part with their 900 because they feel overwhelmed.. I hope to make them a fair offer and add the detector to my collection of state of the art detectors.. I shamelessly also own a DEUS2, Legend, and Vanquish 540.. The hobby keeps my mind active and I enjoy my collections of detectors. I hope this post reaches you and hope for a reply. I’m a fan of your videos and hope you are well. Dan Ortiz- Mobile AL

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Fantastic! I’ve read the manual several times but still couldn’t understand that part. Thanks for clearing it up. BTW, do you know if there’s a way to adjust the “pinpoint” volume and/or tone. When wearing headphones, it’s almost painful !

[@DirtFishing]

No. I wish I did. Even without headphones the pinpoint is loud.

[@TheJourneyIsMyDestination]

until you find an answer, you can trim a piece of foam rubber to fit... that will at least dampen the volume a little. good luck !

Depends on the size of the ring. Some would fall into the foil range and some into the pull tab range. There is no avoiding it.

How do you rate the Equinox compared to all the other detectors you've tried?

Better than most for my type of hunting. In my opinion for deep silver hunting the etrac is best. The Deus is right up there too but more for fast speed and good seperation. I would say in the top three for sure.

[@NewYorkMetalDetecting]

Great video. I have watched this video a couple times now, trying to get ready for when I get my Equinox 800 that I have ordered. Just curious where in the country are you located? Is this setup meant for more shallow modern coin hunting or is it good to use this for older deeper coin hunting? Do you relic hunt at all? What kind of setup would you use for deep relic hunting? Also what setup for deep or shallow jewelry hunting (non beach terrain)? Lots of questions. Sorry. Just trying to get ready for when I get my machine. Thank you.

[@DirtFishing]

I am located in Missouri it will work for both shallow and deep targets. I mostly coin hunt but to go for relics like civil war bullets, etc sometimes. I would use the same setup for relic hunting. Some of the bullets will fall into the high tone area. you can always investigate the other type signals too. For jewelry hunting I would still use multi frequency. In my tests it worked the best.

[@NewYorkMetalDetecting]

DirtFishing thank you. I appreciate your response.

[@tlongj]

Us gold coins can ring anywhere from 12-21 depending on their age.

[@domj345]

Hello, I have only had one type of detector the Minelab Excalibur I and then the II in both the 800 and 1000. They are great detectors especially in the sea and on the beaches. I even use them in old parks and historical areas with good success(once you learn the tones). How does the Equinox 800 compare with the Excalibur with depth, discrimination, tones, etc. I am hunting areas where there is lots of iron and trash but has very old silver in it aswell. The Excalibur can null out the iron. I really dont want to spend all day digging old iron and missing the goodies. I would like to know if the Equinox is superior for this or should I stick with the Excalibur's? Thanks

Hey Bill I have a question on setting up for coins setup. When I set it up it won’t let me go back to the original part one. Can you let me know what is wrong

[@unearthinghistoryontario2454]

Excellent options tutorial. As a coin hunter I love how I can turn the trashy tones way down so I can concentrate only on the "ranges" that I'm looking for. Here's a question.....on most machines, using discrimination decreases depth so if I just turn down the tone volume on targets I don't want to dig do I still lose depth like when using discrimination or will it still retain it's depth??

[@DirtFishing]

I doubt you will lose any depth. Minelabs seem to be real good about keeping good depth even using a lot of discrimination.

[@wallykozak2060]

Thanks for this! Quick question, how do you save your custom programmed mode?

[@DirtFishing]

you can hold down the user button on the right side of the detector for around 2 seconds and it will save it.

[@elburropardo1661]

Hello I like your setting for coin. Do you have any program for beach?

[@genemurphy5075]

Hey brother, just recently purchased a enquinox 800 as well as the 15" coil. There was no users manual just a little single page fold out paper with the very basics of the detector. I work with it in factory park one and two and max with a quarter and depth is about 6-7 inches max. I see several videos where there getting a clear repeatable single on a dime at 10". Do you know what the deal might be? Also on my trusty v3i of which I am always able to get a quarter at 12-14 in deep silver. But I noticed on your video you with the v3i in deep silver you were getting a crisp tone rather than the all metal type sounds. Is there a setting on the v3i I can use in the deep silver program that has a simple single tone? Thanks, Keep up the good work. Gene

[@DirtFishing]

Something dont seem right with the equinox if you are only getting 6-7 inches on a quarter. I would do a factor reset if you have not already. On the V3i I would manually set the tones for the higher conductive coins and not use the multi tone. Set a high tone for everything from zinc or copper penny and above and see if that helps.

[@addysonwalsh]

The full manual is on line and can be downloaded from Minelab.

[@MrDirtFisher]

Very nice. Well done!

[@DirtFishing]

[@darrelmignery2801]

Hope your doing good have a quick question I used your coin program that you had for the Minelab Equinox would you have anything to set up for Relic hunting like Civil War artifacts in the field mode or good Relic program in General Store buttons bullets anything like that thank you

[@DirtFishing]

Not really. I think the problem with that is the ID can be all over the place depending on the target.

[@kylefreemason]

Hello from a fellow Missourian. With your settings are gold rings notched out? I don't yet have my machine. It is on order and I am trying to learn how to set it up before it arrives. I don't want to find iron, I don't care to dig pull tabs but I realize if I disc them out I lose gold rings/coins and nickels. So I will have to live with digging pull tabs.

[@DirtFishing]

The only thing that is disc out with this is iron. The tones are setup to have a high tone on targets that are most likely coins. Since gold can hit just about anywhere on the scale it can have a high or lower tone but should not be notched out.

[@georgesocci6818]

gold is low 8 or 9 nickels 13 quarters 29 or 30 if you are not sure if its a good target press the horse shoe button and if you hear a low grunt sound dont bother digging its that simple Kyle

DF, where would you place a gold ring. I got one of these a couple days ago and have not touched it.

The problem with gold is it will come in all over the place. It just depends on how big it is. It may hit from foil all the way to penny.

You have helped me a lot , can you help me set up for the beach for gold or is it the same

[@KAYAPOGAN]

Thanks man helped me out alot

[@IffySignals]

Great stuff.. didn’t know you could do that

[@hotwheel6663]

Does the 600 also have these adjustments? Also do the Nox detectors in general have good modulated audio? If so is it adjustable like the Etrac?

Great video and thanks for sharing. I just received my 800 and of course I have a lot of questions and need as much help as I can get! I have a concern about where the Indian Cents, Silver and Nickel Three Cents and Half Dimes hit. Won't you be rejecting those coins along with most of the gold coins and rings and chains with your settings? Coin Magnet

[@DirtFishing]

If you just assign a different tone to certain targets you wont be rejecting them they will just have another sound. You could always still investigate those lower tone sounds too.

[@kylefreemason]

I tested those coins and Bill's settings found them.

[@timbarnard3615]

After you set these settings will they stay on the machine after turning off and on? Thanks

[@scorpio4236]

I believe you have to hold the profile button for 2 seconds to save it, after that you can turn the machine on or off and it will be saved in the user profile.

[@timbarnard3615]

Really enjoyed the instructional video. I've had the 800 Equinox for a couple month's and dig lots of iron in a farm field. My only question is "are the settings saved automatically or do I need to put the changed program into a personal profile"?

[@watashmaru7122]

That's a good question Tom! I'm a newby Equinox 800 owner and would like to know if these custom programs can be saved and labeled as to what they're for, where to be used, ect. If you find out PLEASE let me know. Thank you.

[@watashmaru7122]

Aha! found this, apparently there are 2 available "slots" for custom programs in each mode - park, field, beach, and gold. here's a link www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/4805-number-of-saved-profile-slots-for-custom-settings/ scroll thru them with the "detect" button. this link page has a lot of useful user info. simple and to the point. hope this helps you as much as it did me.
