Setup Your Minelab Equinox For Beach Detecting in 5 minutes! Yes Only 5 Minutes.

[@MentalMetal]

Let us know if you have a different setup for the beach or if this video helps. Thanks for watching!

[@ddee2501]

Don't forget to set your cell/mobile phone to airplane mode as they can interfere with the detector !

[@donaldvanrensburg7959]

One day I would love to go where you are, BECOUS Australia is not that old,if you looking for coins😜have a good one MATE

[@johngoes2town482]

That's a great video, thanks. I'll also dig anything because sometimes those bottle cap numbers are something else or there's just a bottle cap on top of something good. Just last month I found 5 coins (about $13 in my country's currency) in a hole the size of a fist and there was also a few bottle caps and pull taps and I was getting those numbers first, so you never know

[@MentalMetal]

Yep can't go wrong if you dig everything

[@miltonalbright1606]

Outstanding I will try that on my nox milt

[@MentalMetal]

Go for it!

[@wileycavanah7202]

Another very informative video. The method of switching from gold one to gold two and back again without going through the whole card is a huge help. Thanks again..

[@MentalMetal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@franksflytraps]

cant wait to try, got 2 600s for me and my son for Christmas. your videos will help.

[@MentalMetal]

Awesome congrats. I have many good howto videos out there. Enjoy.

[@alexrod714]

I can't thank you enough for this vid. The settings you explained for beach settings are just what I needed. Thank you so much. You gained a new sub.

[@MentalMetal]

Hey thanks and I'm glad I could help.

[@jaimechapa7828]

Awesome video, thank you for a great video and advice, not only for me and others.

[@MentalMetal]

My pleasure!

[@donaldvanrensburg7959]

Tanks for youer help MATE 😜 I am in QLD AUSTRALIA and I always listening wat you say

[@MentalMetal]

Wow thanks Donald you are a long way from here! I've met could of you guys in my time and I would hunt with you guys anytime. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@offthebeepinpath]

Smart tip on using the user profile for a quick switch. That's awesome

[@MentalMetal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@roelf8653]

Thanks Scot, That is good info. I've learned an awful lot about the Equinox 800 from watching your channel. The no drama part is good too. I think I live nearby you. Just on the other side of Gettysburg. If you'd be interested in getting together to metal detect a park or something let me know. If your not I won't take it amiss. Take care buddy.

[@MentalMetal]

Glad to help and yes we must be pretty close. Shoot me a message on FB (messenger). Lets see if we can't meet up sometime.

[@G5ranch]

Thanks for sharing this information. Going to do some beach detecting in December

[@MentalMetal]

Good luck bury some targets first so you get an idea of what you are listening for.

[@robwolfe3063]

👍👍👍, out here in CA where I live the local beaches don't have too much mineralization, run my 800 @... Recovery 5 (or 6, if I got a lot of ground to cover and want to just bank real estate) ground tracking on, sensitivity 22-23, all metal on, although you get close to houses or Rvs with wifi hot spots might bump down to 18-20 to get rid of chatter. I'm still learning only had this machine bout 2 years but love info videos like this👍🇺🇸

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks Rob for the comment. Sounds like you are dialed in out there. I would be careful with the ground tracking though. Sometimes the time it takes for the machine to compensate for the ground under the coil has the potential to take longer than a swing but the likely hood of losing something is very low IMO. If it works for you don't change it. I don't use tracking over here on the east coast.

[@OP-Taylor]

Great video, this whole group of Equinox videos is fantastic! Was great to see it so early over on the Patreon side, sooo many benefits over there

[@MentalMetal]

Much appreciated!

Hi what’s the best settings for 800 in mineralized beach?

[@MentalMetal]

Sorry I haven't hunted any mineralized beaches. If i did I would share my settings w/you.

[@bassingwithawesomejohnson3202]

👍🏻👍🏻 Great video my friend!! 😎

[@MentalMetal]

Thank you 👍

[@MoultrieTavern1862]

Excellent!

[@MentalMetal]

Many thanks!

[@banjomanjms]

will a quarter which rings up to a 29 on the nox 800 on land ring up the same on the beach in beach mode? also, can you give some info on gold rings on the beach what that might ring up on the nox? love you videoes....

[@MentalMetal]

Yes a quarter will ring up the same. As far as the gold rings go you really need to dig everything in the junk range. Gold rings will ring up similar to a pull tab or in that range but they will sound different. Depending on how much gold is in the ring you could dig gold in the single digits. Silver will fool you too. I helped a lady find 2 of her silver rings that rang up as a 2 on the VDI. They were very slim silver rings. You'll quickly figure it out, its pretty straight forward.

[@robertoconsuegra9921]

Thanks dude😄😄

[@MentalMetal]

Sure thing!

[@shellyrivera1143]

Awesome set up tips! Question, how many personal mode set ups can you save under the little man icon?

[@MentalMetal]

On the Equinox 800 you can only save off 1 extra search profile. You don't have that feature on the Equinox 600. Thanks!

[@shellyrivera1143]

@@MentalMetal thanks! I have the Equinox 800. I didn’t think you could save more than one but wasn’t sure.

[@MentalMetal]

happy to help good luck out there!

[@lawandcrimeteatime]

Needs a bit more explanation for the purpose of each features range.

[@GheorghePopa-v6j]

Hi.the settings for the equinox 600 it's the same like 800 ? Thank you 👍

[@ConeyIsland1952]

can you touch base with tone breaks, and tones pitch using this program?

[@MentalMetal]

I'm not sure what you are asking can you explain that a little more? Sorry.

[@art3nitytown]

Nice broo...very usefull tips, im looking for best beach setting here in SABAH Malaysia, myb soil here in my place a bit differ compare in ur country. Anyway...i will try ur setting first, see weather its working or not hahaha...thanks bro...done subscribe ,,👌🏻

Son Of A Beach

[@OldSkoolF]

Just ran the Nox 800 at Lauderdale with these and other settings and did great on the beach, but in the water it had issues deeper than 4 inches. I also switched to the Nox 15" coil and it caused interference issues so I had to run reduced power... Busted out my old Excal 800 and instantly seemed to do better.. Idea's??? Also not 1 Nickle?

[@MentalMetal]

I'm surprised the Nox is known to work well on the beach and in the surf. Unless your beach has some black sand mixed in I'm not sure if I have anything to suggest.

[@Daniel-fb8rm]

Does multi in beach mode use all khz or just 20 and 40.I read it somewhere but not sure.

[@disgruntledgrunt241]

It cycles through all the frequencies.

[@jasonpaterson1638]

Great video, what settings do you use for in the ocean?

[@MentalMetal]

I typically don't change much I just use Beach 1 or 2. I drop my Iron Bias down to no higher than 4 I usually stay at 2. Drop recovery speed down to 4 but 5 is ok.

[@jeffjones5432]

Can you explain FE 2 please? I run all metal mode on beach 2, I have FE 2 set to 7. Can you help me in understanding that feature. I find tons of good things, but I’m ocd lol always want my Nox8 to be better. Thank Jeff

[@MentalMetal]

I did a couple of videos on FE and F2. Here they are: F7 = kzbin.info/www/bejne/eorbeoOAZ9h7pK8 and FE = kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2e3laF5gbyNirc

[@garyvickers9474]

Yes, this is not a simple machine. If I want to use a metal protector I want to work quick and fast not have to do a lots of things to it.

[@glennnilson498]

Hi can you please tell me if I can Dow load you equinox setting instructions

[@MentalMetal]

Hey Glen if you are asking if those settings can be downloaded into the Equinox the answer is no. You will have to go in and make those changes yourself but it's pretty simple.

[@glennnilson498]

@@MentalMetal thanks I think I must have said it wrong I-wanted to down load to print it of on paper

[@MentalMetal]

I wrote the settings down here mentalmetaldetecting.com/does-the-minelab-equinox-really-work-on-the-beach/ you should be able to cut and paste them into a document or something to download.

[@cheqer]

Can a equinox 600 find gold?

[@MentalMetal]

Yes

[@offthebeepinpath]

How about the beaches with black sad? Would you adjust any settings for that situation in your opinion?

[@MentalMetal]

Good question I really don't know, I've never been on a beach with black sand sorry.

[@stinkasscat]

Beach 2 is supposed to compensate for black sand, you can also lower your sensitivity.

[@debe8110]

What would you set your f2 at for this beach setup

[@MentalMetal]

I would probably turn it off until I was digging up a lot of junk, then I would start to incrementally increase it by 1. But ultimately the less filtering you can do the better.

[@debe8110]

@@MentalMetal Thank you

[@debe8110]

@@MentalMetal What is your setup for field 1 if you do not mind?

[@debe8110]

@@MentalMetal What is the difference between field 1 and 2? and park 1 and 2?

[@MentalMetal]

That is documented in the manual but I think I did a video on Park but basically Park 1 is really better for coins while Park 2 is meant to hit harder on jewelry.
