I just subbed again! No idea what happened. Thank you so much for this video!
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for posting . I leaned a lot know about the gold number reference 🤩🤩👍
No problem, hope it helps. Gold is very variable in ID number due to thickness and size.
@@SandyToesDetecting hey
Thanks for info. Switch from Excalibur to the equinox and needed this. Subscribed.
cheers, excalibur is still a great detector. I use one a lot still
Your accent is pure Gold! Love it! :D
thanks
Hi , can you recommend particular way to set up a EQN-800 for max wet sand detecting. I have just purchased one . Really appreciate the help . I can across your video and heron informative on the Gold I.D numbers
Awesome. Can you show me how to det up equinox 800 for found a gold on the beach be can detec more deep
Good video showing gold of different size, I use the CTX and it's known about not liking small gold like small chains and small earrings. I see the Nox has the same dislikes.
I do find quite a lot of small stuff with the CTX but it is probably not that deep, last week a gold earring which was tiny, about 0.2 gr
What do you have your sections set on ? my low numbers ring up with a lower tone. oh never mind you answered at the end
This is why you dig everything.
More or less yes,
@@SandyToesDetecting You got rid of your Equinox?
@@theoldbankfisherman no, I still use eq but as I mainly water hunt I use the excalibur & CTX3030. The 3030 has better target identification system and can reject a lot of rubbish. The eq is a great beach detector and can do the water easily as well though I know a lot of people who have had water ingress problems into battery compartment. There is a seal that can be purchased that comes up on ebay from time to time.
Very interesting. I am trying a new Nox800 in the water at a beach this week. Looks like I need to dig every repeatable 1-22 signal or I will miss gold.
yes
Excellent video!
Thanks
Maybe show how to adjust the settings for gold that would be a good idea
The detector is set for beach 2 mode. simple as that.
Wow thanks! It's great to see someone ring up platinum! 💍 Thanks for the great video! Keep up the great hunting!
It has been my only platinum ring to date, found several palladium which look the same colour etc. Thanks for watching.
i ranged up palladium ring PD950 yes i didnt know what it meant jeweler explained it to me Palladium is higher than gold in the platinum family
Good video for me.i wanted to see the numbers coming up for gold, and Platinum. Interesting mostly low numbers..good video bud.
`thanks for watching.
@@SandyToesDetecting on gold chains they explain to use a lower freq. like 5 or 10
Quite a range of numbers, dig them all 👍 I’ve seen a few really positive tests on chains so maybe that needs tweaking a bit, the person that cracks finding chains will be very rich indeed 😎👍
It could be the chain, this chain has proved inconclusive with several eq's. I tried another chain and that was better. Time will tell, fingers crossed.
Oh yeah!!
Very good video hello from México can you please send me your configuration of your Equinox for fields please sensivity, recovery speed etc the problem Is that many of the same number of signal are pulltaps or bottlecap
Thanks and God bless you
Thanks. Yes the is a problem. I only use the detector in the water and found the same problem.
Would be very interesting to see in field 2 mode. Btw for small gold try gold 2 mode
Will that work for jewelry or just mineralized gold nugget ground? Thank you
Most of the VDI's are around the same, except for small gold rings. Not sure how this helps us.
Well that in itself is information that is good to know. One thing with the EQ is the TID numbers seem compressed compared to other minelab detectors.
This is what i dont understand so basically dig up everything . From reading there manual it basic said gold was 10 to 20 anything below that was just crap
Well almost good target sounds.. The ID number is only really a guide and will vary due to weight and shape of gold.
Sandy Toes Detecting thanks i am new to this. researching on what machine to buy thinking of this machine or go cheap machine looks like they all pick up a signal and i have to dig up everthing anyways .. but as i said new to this still alot to learn
@@Bikepacking Once you have eliminated iron based targets you are left with foil, ali, tin, lead, coins, silver and gold. Problem is all of these could be gold from foil to coins range. Experience using a detector in water will come as to what to avoid and what to dig. I still dig a huge amount of ring pulls, but thats the nature of the hobby :-) As for detector the EQ is a good machine, so is the nokta simplex if you dont want to spend as much. Both have their quirks and features.
Sandy Toes Detecting thanks for advice
@@SandyToesDetecting singlas on edge is the issue i find
great info. thaks
thanks for watching
Thanks...Justr what I needed without a lot of smoke" 🤸♂️💍
handy to know. thanks!
Thanks, had to get an idea of what was what.
неправильный тест, цепку берёт на всех металлах надо включать режим все металлы тогда её бросает чётко в цветном сигнал.
Я не обнаруживаю в любом металлическом режиме.
Это может видеть цепь, но это не практично на пляже.
Sandy Toes Detecting мда
can you do some in park 1,2 field 1,2 and beach 1,2
Sorry dont have the EQ any more.
@@SandyToesDetecting
Hi
what minelab do you have then in the viedo ?
@@squrilebrain That is the eq800
@@SandyToesDetecting wayt you on one the deus
@@michaelnixon6266 Not really a beach machine is Deus.
I don't get why different weight makes such different numbers.
18k should be same number...
Though I dont understand the full science behind it its the thickness and the shape of object that effects the radio waves reflections / disruption and the target ID number given. In an ideal world all 18k would give off the same number and pull tabs could be completely rejected. These appear in the "gold" ID as well. Maybe one day one manufacturer would make a detecter to just show gold. I would be first to buy it.
@@SandyToesDetecting I heard that :)
I have a nox800 just trying to figure it out.
It’s not the same when buried.
My experience so far with gold /silver is otherwise
DUDE YOU ARE LOADED WITH GOLD...LOL!
Had a few items
What’s that yellow ring around your coil?
It’s plast I dip a rubber paint (removable)
Sandy Toes Detecting how come you put that on the coil?
Makes the coil a bit more visible if the water is murky.
@@SandyToesDetecting good idea! 👍
Mr. Sandy toes how much was this specific metal detector which one would you recommend on a budget metal detector?
Its about $1000 , it’s waterproof and works well.
Has good following.
If you are looking just to do beach or fields much cheaper models out there.
Hi. im looking for a gold detector for an mountainious area with many rocks, gold hidden in tunnels...which detector would be good for me?
@@football-mma-sportstvfootb7819 I think the Equinox 800. There is a setting specifically for gold mining.
Is the target id the same in park 1 mode?
I don’t know, only tested beach, should be similar
I think similar too
What is the point of target ID’s? Gold will always be in the same reading range as all the trash out there! We’ll have to dig all to find gold!!!!!
Depends on the detector. I have a CTX3030 and the target numbers are much more open on that, the equinox compresses a lot of the numbers into one area which is not overly helpful.
@@SandyToesDetecting on rings its usually lower numbers 8 or 9 these numbers are too high
What's that yellowish stuff on your coil?
Found it in you othe video :)
Its plastidip, a removable coating. It allows me to see coil when in the water better. (see my other video I uploaded same day) Equinox setup.
Did you find all those rings?
Yes I did.
Very nice! In the uk?
no, in Europe.
@@SandyToesDetecting pfft you can't go metal detecting there
UNLESS YOU HAVE A PERMIT OR LICENSE

thanks
I have one sitting here and I don't like it. They crunched the vdi scale. It was a bad idea. So when I was out lets say at a pre 1900 site that was not super junky I was digging all kinds of junk because of the vdi number system as compared to say the whites I have here. My as well dig all metal then and get a all metal type detector instead of a 900 dollar pos that has trouble detecting my .45 cal .999 silver bullet. Well I should say it detects it but its showing a 31. Now on "other" machines I would be saying oh thats a penny including my 705. And "other" machines it would in the high 80s. I don't care for it at all and its not staying in this stable thats for sure. And for you dig them all folks I gotta laugh at you. Why buy a discrimination type detector? No point if your digging them all.
I agree with you 100%, I sold the detector after a month because of this.
Did you end up selling it?
Interesting. Watch the at pro and gold vdi videos. The pro is clearly superior with a much better ID on gold targets. These are all over the board........quite terrible. This machine is basically useless in any urban environment unless you just want to cherry pick silver.
Thanks for information, I have never used the at pro. The eq has quite a compressed TID range on gold compared to the ctx3030. For a example on that a small gold earring or very thin ring can be 01 but a large heavy gold ring can be 38 same as a large gold coin. Having said that the 3030 which is my main detector I find a lot of gold with.
I guess my problem is not so much the range...........but that every item is in a different range. With the pro most gold falls into specific ranges, with of course a few outliers for those weird pieces, but even those lock on pretty hard. If your gold can be anywhere from 1 to 30 on a scale of 1 to 50 with no difference in tone or ID stability to trash, you're stuck having to dig everything to find it. In an urban setting that means you have to dig every piece of iron, every piece of foil, every piece of can, or can tab, every bottle cap...........you see where I'm going with this. You may as well save money and buy a single tone 1980's detector and dig it all. The machine is great at the finding, not so good at the classifying. I feel like minelab worried too much about iron, to the detriment of the rest of a "hobby" machines abilities.
In the end I sold the equinox as it was not doing it for me in the water where I detect mostly.
My main machine is the ctx3030, then the excalibur and I also have a fisher cz21 as backup.
With the first 2 you can tell fairly easily if its iron or bottle caps. Pull tabs are always going to be an issue.
Personal I dont spend too much time looking at the ID but listen to the sounds detector is given.
I must spend some more time talking to someone I know why has at pro, though he tends to use the excalibur and eq in preference.
Yes it's strange. You cant' find modern coins because they are steel and come in as iron but bottle caps which are also steel come in as gold. It makes no sense to me.
😂
all that stuff on a screen is a total distraction you detect with your ears not your eyes all you have done is paid 500 quid more than you needed to for crap you dont need
well yes and no. I do detect with my ears but sometimes its good to have an idea what is likely to come up.
or ignore some targets.
