Just finished reading my Minelab Equinox 800 manual, I can't wait to start hunting. One thing I noticed was when you were setting your iron Fe setting to zero you forgot to press the accept/ reject button which takes you to the F2 Iron setting which detects a wider range and some iron the the Fe iron setting doesn't per the Manual. Have to remember that the F2 settings work best when doing all metal mode with iron tone audible which you stated you would be doing. Also ground balance auto tracking is the default and recommended for when gold prospecting and manual ground balancing is not in the advanced settings. Sorry as I'm not trying to be critical because it is a lot to comprehend let alone explain which you did a great job but it's also important for new people to fully understand all of theses various settings and how to use them to our advantage. Very nice video.

[@Linno-z7l]

@Linno-z7l 22 minutes ago A very useful tip I was told by a friend, is when pinpointing with the Garrett handheld pin pointer (or any pin pointer) to save getting back on your feet to re-locate a target with your metal detector (target may be out of handheld pointer range) if you use your digging tool as an aerial by placing the tip of digger on the top of the pin pointer and sliding it down until pointer starts to 'chirp' then back it off to silence it you gain much more depth than by normal use - Very useful especially if you are getting on in years - Cheers Linno

Great video always learning. It is also good to revisit before spring. That being said I was out in the snow trying the new settings. I am going to run park 1 and Field 2 in the same locations and see what pops up. I use the Field 2 settings and found two dimes and three more pennies, but the location is the size of 1/2 a football field. I do have one question about the saved settings. When we save a setting is that for all 8 search profiles or just the location the profile that was changed. Also when we start the 800 do I need to press the user profile button or will the program start with the boot up. Thank you for the videos and help

Hello, thank you very much for the informed videos you upload, I have a question for you about your experience with the two Minelab metal detectors. My question is: Can you provide me with settings of Minelab Equinox 800 only for native gold in the river and on the shore, which settings are analogous to the depth as of Minelab gold monster 1000 thank you in advance

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the Gold Monster so I can't really give you comparisons. The equinox has 2 gold prospecting modes and is very sensitive to even the smallest pieces. Both the depth and setting will be dependent on the ground conditions and the coil you use.

Hi mate good videos you explain stuff well I have got one question do you have to ground balance the machine every time you turn it on or once it’s balanced will it save for you to not do it again thanks

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

In most cases you don't even need to ground balance unless you are in a highly mineralized area. If you ground balance I recommend you ground balance every so often as the ground changes from one spot to another so you may need to gb throughout the day even.

[@SuperKnight56]

With manual ground balancing I tend to get inconsistent values that sometimes range a lot just like you experienced at 7:23 and 6:54 in the same quiet locations. Which value should I use?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Try lowering the sensitivity down after locating a quiet spot then groud balance

Interesting video. Just curious if you have a test garden. I would recommend using the threshold at an just audio level. When a target gets beyond the “faint signal “ and the detector does not give you an audio response you still could catch it with a “ghost whisper” which you will hear as a break in your threshold. Just a friendly tip. I’ve been able to get silver with my nox 800 at 14 inches. Appreciate your video , thanks for sharing.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

[@clintxxx2875]

If you would fix your coil wire, it will help you a lot with the ground balancing and optimal performance! It will also help you save money due to not loosen the insulation within the packing of the cables / wiring circuit. Especially w/ a 15” coil but it’s recommended for all. You run the wire straight up the rod by using cable ties separating the wire from lower rod. Be sure u leave a little-slack to account for when laying machine down and coil lays flat. Then start wrapping your cable when reaching secondary rod and using the velcro strap to help with keeping the cable tight and out of the way. Just something I learned from the Sr. Engineer at Minelab. Not too many of them tell you this because they want to sell you more coils and for you to send machine in for service when you cannot figure out what’s wrong after warranty. They are great company but are just like every company, they wNt to make profits! Just like the Auto Makers do not give you ALL the best practices when selling you a new car! They are wanting the service work and parts revenue later down the road. 👁

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

It just depends on the soil/sand conditions. If the gold isn't there you won't find it. Try different areas and be patient.

[@jameskenney5623]

I just got a used 800. It's chirping like crazy in my back yard, I did a factory reset, noise cancel and ground balance with no luck. I live in a rural area, so not a lot of power lines or interference. Tried in several parts of my 1 acre yard. Cable is wound tight and screwed in tight. I've removed the coil cover and thoroughly cleaned it and the coil. I've tried changing channels and none make it quiet. The only thing that helps is to lower the sensitivity to 7 or 8 and then it's quiet, but I've just lost a lot of depth. I've put my phone on airplane mode with no luck. I also updated the firmware which was really old, but that didn't help either. Thoughts?

James, try downgrading to 2.0 firmware and then do a factory preset. Join Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group so it is easier to communicate we will see if we can figure this out.

I watch this video almost a year ago and it was helpful then... and I just rewatched it today and I picked up a couple things that I missed the first time ....and I'll tell you why.... I hear many equinox users pushing hard on that 4K... And I think single frequency is great and certain situations... they don't have that in Beach mode just multi so I've never really used it.... And to be honest I upgraded one of my 800s to the latest version.. and I really didn't like it so I took it back down to the previous version.... So multi is what I used cuz of the beach... But recently I've started doing some inland searching here in Florida so it will be helpful possibly some scenarios...great video.....

[@timcollins5239]

Larry. As far as high to low tones do you have a video explaining the difference?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Hello tim I have this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIGkZ32ajN9-aa8

[@ronralphsson7296]

Does the iron bias at” 1”and leaving all metal setting on have the same effect?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Thats a great question, I have thought a ought that and need to see if there would be a difference.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

All metal has no discrimination as all of the graph is active. The Iron bias when set to one will still give a reading on iron but won't sound on the rejected numbers

[@ronralphsson7296]

@@SodBustersMetalDetecting Thank you for taking the time to answer.I have never had the chance to hunt relics,just old parks.Without trying bias one or all metal how would I know if I’m missing something.I find the contemporary alloys anyway on no iron.I will try bias 1 in spring.I believe in my situation that it will be about the same.Thanks again.for the help.

What version OS are you running?

[@jamesaspinwall5280]

What would you use 4 or 5 hurtz for? Thanks

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

That would be for larger deep targets

[@rocketsroc]

Just a comment about your suggested advanced settings. Having tried what you recommend about setting full on iron etc, I tried this and found one major problem, the Nox now finds much more, but most is just trash. If detecting in areas where there is an abundance of trash, I would not set my machine up as you suggest or you'll be doing a lot of useless digging!

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

This video is to show how to get maximum depth. At the end of the video i explain that these settings will not work in trashy areas. Thanks for watching

[@thekingd9390]

Question for you, sometimes when I noise cancel it will display a number say 7 for example after the noise cancel is complete, if I noise cancel again right after the first time, it will display a number say -7 or -6 (negative numbers), why would the numerical display for noise cancel be different for each time even though I'm in the exact same spot and doing noise cancel twice in a row?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Emi changes constantly so each time you noise cancel it is choosing the quietest channel of what it reads

[@monson47]

if you can get a faint target to repeat, but no number shows up, would you dig it, or would you think it is a ghost signal?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

If a signal is repeatable I would dig. Some targets are to deep to read a vdi# and could be the oldest coin you ever dug.

[@shawncaldwell593]

Will these settings work on the equinox 600? Also do you have to noise cancel? And I really like your channel.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Yes Shawn this works for the 600 also and I recommend noise cancel every so often to keep the detector running optimal. Thanks for watching.

Kindly,ground balance, you mentioned, 65&85 is same deeper go down ground or it has different higher amount of numbers go more down, please tell us...mr....🤔,also which store we can go for your product in New York City, because we live in NY,area....thanks sir 😀.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

You can order from outlawmetaldetectors.com and it will be delivered to you. I'm not sure I understand your question

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

When ground balancing you want the numbers low. You really don't need to ground balance unless you are in mineralized ground

Plzz.tell me if.if can do thia setting on beach mode??(

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Yes you can adjust your recovery speed in beach mode as well

[@burriedhistory]

Came across to this video and enjoyed the information. Just subscribed to your channel ;-) Have you tested the influence of setting tones to 1 or 2 on the detecting depth? I always use 5 on my Nox 800, but heard that the higher the number of tones the more the detector's processor will be "loaded" and so there will be depth loss. The guy who made that comment said that 1 or 2 tones will give extra inches compared to, for instance, 50 tones.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

I would have to test that. I always run 5 tones and have dug wheats down to 14 inches in good ground condition. I am interested in testing this though to see if there is validity to it. Thanks for sharing

what is the difference between field 1 and field 2, or park 1 and park 2?

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

P1 is a lower frequency than p2 same with field 1 and field 2. Park 1 and to have the most discrimination to try and eliminate pull tabs and bottle caps and such

hi. Question for you as I have trouble with small silver. It seems I have to be dead on top before I get the signal. I recently dug a lovely silver thimble 2 inches down. But testing those settings over 5 inches I get nothing 😳 we both know I should hit that on the nox easy at 15 inches. I’m running my settings on beach to land on the 15 inch coil. 😢Thanks alan.settings are ground balance 0. Volume adjust 25 t1 = 1 t2 = 20 threshold 2 pt 1. Target zone 50 t1 = 1 t2 = 25 accept reject t1= 2 recovery 4fe = 2 iron bias. Do get very deep with every else. But silver 🤷‍♂️

[@alanadcock3329]

Ps merry Xmas from England.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Is the ground highly mineralized? Is there a lot of iron in the ground? What is your sensitivity set at? Remember with the deeper settings you also need to slow down your sweep speed to give the detector time to process the signal.

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Reduce your recovery speed also for more depth.

[@alanadcock3329]

Hello I do adjust if need to on ground conditions. I will try iron bias on 0 and drop recovery to 2. Sensitivity as high as I can get away with. Slight chatter but comfortable normally 23

[@SodBustersMetalDetecting]

Run your sensitivity stable but yes adjust according to your ground conditions and emi
