- This week on Swingin' wit' Willy... I finally find some gold with my Equinox 800 equipped with the 6 inch coil.
WOW! Just WOW...
The Equinox 800 is very sensitive to small gold, Dont believe me???
Watch this episode for the proof.
Surely it cant be long until I find that nice piece we can all easily see without squinting..
Ninja also has plenty of luck... as usual.
I hope you all enjoy.
Thanks for watching, Good Luck & Happy Swingin
I'm going to search your videos but do you have a video were you show how you set up your mine lab 800 for gold. I live in the states and where I'm at in the Midwest the size of gold that you're finding in this video is what I should expect to find in the creeks and rivers that I go to. I am going to try to do some high bench gravel searching this year, I just purchased a 6 inch coil for my detector.
Hey mate. I dont actually have a specific video where i show my settings. But im sure I showed my settings a few times in videos around that time period.
Tbh I havent really changed my settings. I use gold 2 due to heavy mineralization,
Noise cancel ( do this often ),
Then i remove -9/-8 from the list, these are tiny bits of iron rich hot rocks.
Otherwise i have my threshold on 8, tones on 5, lastly I run a swing speed of 3 and always use auto tracking. That way i can easily ground balance every few steps.
Always wear headphones, you can hear everything then. Gold likes to wobble pop, meaning it will give a quick negative number wobble then a clean positive number pop, gold bounces around from -5 to +22, its never a solid target with the id munbers unless its a chunck. Ive even found a bit that gave a wobble pop but no target I d numbers, it was gold!
Hope this helps.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Thanks that really helps,
You got the Nox spot-on now, Willy!!! And all those tiny shinies add up quick!!! You and the Ninja did great!!!😁👍👍👍
Cheers heaps Cynthia... oh yeah I do. Hopefully soon I can find a slightly bigger bit. But I wont complain if I keep finding little bits like that.
As you said it all adds up.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
That's awesome mate, your on to it now, figuring out what the machine is telling you is the key.. nice bits mate, you too NINJA,
Yeah bloody oath mate, no point just leaving it on factory. You may lose a day or two trying to dial it in but the results are worth it in the end...
Thanks heaps for watching my friend.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed your personality and the great finds. I am curious what the smallest piece the 800 will find?
Cheers Treasure Kings, much appreciate the comment mate.
The smallest piece I have actually detected with my nox was 0.010g or 100th of a gram. It was half an inch in a patch, that I sat on my knees and slowly sratched through.
I generally tend to find the sub point pieces with the nox, though I have found a nice specie with 1.55g of gold in it with the nox also.
The larger the target the higher the target I'd number will be.
Cheers for watching mate.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Hey Willie! I love your name! I just found you! ❤️Swinging Donna!
Well hello Swinging Donna, I noticed your channel name pop up the other day and had a chuckle to myself. Good to see its not just my sense of humor...
Best of luck with your channel.
Thanks for watching.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@Swingin_wit_Willy Lol! Good luck with yours too, Willy!
My youngest boy is named William.
Your name wins all the way around in my book! I’m glad I found you!
Impressed that the Nox can pick up .02 👍
You really are in a great spot
The rain has certainly helped
Appreciate you filming some live digs & live signals with the Nox 👍
Quality footage again
So am I mate, as you could tell from my excitement!
Yeah we are lucky and have also done plenty of research.
Thanks for the comment, I hope to dig a bit of gold out, live and very soon.
Cheers heaps for watching, Good Luck & Happy Swingin
Right on! What a sweet day in a sweet spot. I'm up in NSW, thinking about getting an equinox myself. Keep up the swangin' mate!
Cheers for watching mate, I do love that gully. Its been very kind to us.
The nox is great, its even better when you have a 6 inch on it. I prefer it over the gm simply because of the target id numbers.
It helped me find plenty of gold after years of no reward with the X-Terra 705 which had no id numbers, I still found 5 bits with it after 4 years, then I bought the nox...
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
Hey mate I got the nox 800 and find it struggles and brings up false targets all the time. You running gold 1 or gold 2? By the looks your using all metal mode, any chance you could reply with all your settings? Thinking of getting the sdc 2300 but will stick with nox if I can get dialed in like yours, cheers mate
@@wogboy4708 hey hey mate.
What area are you swingin?
If its mineralized as hell like where I find my gold in eastern vic, you want gold 2.
I run it in 40khz,
Then noise cancel.
I always use auto tracking,
Volume where comfortable,
Reject -9/-8
Threshold on 8
Tones on 1
Swing speed on 2-3.
Sensitivity around 17-21 if its really quiet you can turn it up a few. It it starts getting eratic back it off one or two on the sensitivity.
Ground balance buy puming up and down , around in a circle to sample the ground...
Then your set. Just remember swing slowly. Yourll hear the targets!
I will make an episode about my gold settings and how to retrieve the target succesfully very soon. I have been getting alot of these types of questions. There a lot to consider and learn.
Keep your eyes peeled for that in the next month or so. I just have to get a chance to get out to some gold ground to film it. But I have a few things on over the next two weeks. So i will get onto it asap.
Good luck and happy swingin mate.
@@Swingin_wit_Willy I'm in Qld on the sunny coast mate, haven't tried at a decent place here in qld where gold has been found because I didn't think the nox was up too it. I lived in the Pilbara for 3 years and it's about as heavy mineralised as it gets in Australia and the nox was just chirping its head off. Had to put sensitivity to 15 to get it quiet down, then just kept digging holes and it would keep saying its in the hole. False targets I thought.
Cheers for the settings mate, I'll go and try it at an old Gold mine here. One thing for sure is the nox 800 is a weopen on the beach. No dramas there 👍
@@wogboy4708 well I am sure with these settings you should have a decent chance once you get to proven gold ground, you will find your fist bit with the nox. I have plans to take the nox out tomoz and film the setup and retrieval video tomoz.
Also another panning video. 2 vids in one day. That should be good fun.
The nox is just a weapon on any challenge its handed. You just need to learn the machina and then youll kill it.
Just stumbled across your channel mate. Great footage and looks like I've got plenty more to watch. I've just recently got myself a nox too so I've got a long road ahead to work it all out. Cheers mate👍
Cheers mate. Thanks for subbing up. I returned the favor. Yeah Im sure theres a few that youll like amoung all my episodes.
Plenty more coming now i can finally swing again. Lockdown sucks
@@Swingin_wit_Willy Thanx mate👍 and yeah nothing worse than not being allowed to get out and enjoy yourself but in QLD we've been very fortunate. Good luck out there then and hope u find more of the goodstuff👌
@@southseaviking6833 unfortunately I cant go looking for the shiny stuffs yet. Its outside of the 5km bubble i have to stay in.
Coins only for the next 6 weeks. So hopefully i can find some gold in my local park.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
All that debris would've acted as miner's moss. Your little honey hole wasn't the only one that washed away? Hint, hint!
Think I would be looking for dropout points around that logjam? Just a thought.
Oh I am well aware, I did check over that a couple times after filming this episode. No luck, not even with the pan. Though the reason we dug that pile was because I found a 0.86g pan in the hole under the original log jam, so I always make sure to inspect them methodically.
Cheers for watching.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
You have a looks of a movie 🌟 star bro👍 Good luck with hunting!
Ha ha Thanks for watching. My fingers are always crossed.
Brother!! Thanks for the vid you just pumped my motivation!! I bought the same setup couple weeks ago and been researching where to hit in NSW... sub'd dude thanks again!! Had alot of hater tell me im wasting time with the nox ... sending em your vid lol
Ha ha cheers mate. Thanks for the sub.
The nox is good and very sensitive, it can be a little tricky to get used to but its a great machine.
So long as you swing really slow and listen carefully and pay attention to the tid numbers you will have no problems. I suggest having a test piece to swing over in the field. Helps get your ear in.
I found a gram in specs on one small mullock that an sdc and a gold bug had been over in super hot ground. Patience is key.
Take care and stay safe.
Awesome gold yet again!!! Well done fellas
Cheers D.B, any gold is good gold. It all adds up really quickly when you have that nasty fever.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin mate
can you please show how you set up your Nox? would ready love to watch that. Thanks
Thanks for watching. I will do a video very soon on my equinox settings. I have been asked alot recently. If you read some of my replies on the comments for this video, I have run through my settings. Though I will still do a video soon of me setting up for both gold and coins.
Just got a nox 800! Does it stand a snowballs chance in hell of finding small gold like that with the 11 inch coil?
Nice mate, I am sure you will love it and how well it runs. Just take a test piece with you into the field to get your ear in at the start of each day until your confident you know the sound your chasing.
I can confidently say, Yes it can find small pieces of gold with the 11" coil, however it is a bit of a struggle to pinpoint your targets.
I found a few small bits and 2 small species with the 11" coil but have found much more with the 6 inch as the ground I work is fairly hot. So the smaller coil is a great investment. Its also better for use in trashy ground, I only ever use my 6 inch coil now days, doesnt matter if im chasing coins or gold its a weapon, plus its lighter!
Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate
Ha willy do have in Gold 1 or 2 ??? on the Equinox 800 ps Luv ya you tube good show
Hey hey TheGolddigger2, agh i tend to run my nox on Gold 2. The ground we work in is heavily mineralized with ironstone, hemitite and magnetite in stupid quantity.
The nox loves hot rocks, but the tone and target id number is key. If you wipe out -9 & -8 you will have less issues with the hotrocks.
Thanks heaps for the compliment, truely appreciate it.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
@@Swingin_wit_Willy thanks mate
Can you pan for gold in that water or is it really hard to find?
Hey Wade, yeah I can certianly pan in the creek, depends on how much water there is though and how keen i am to see shiny. I have plenty of vids from this location where I have panned, check out my first vid from 2020, i pulled a .87g pan. Next week's episode is actually a panning sesh in that creek. I did OK.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Hey I live in Melbourne near the Diamond Creek Gold fields. I running the nox 800 .I just got the 6 inch coil. What are your settings. In Gold 1 or 2 top video bro thank
Hey Terry. I was actually not far from you when i filmed this ep.
It all depends on the ground my friend. If you can run in Gold 1 and the machine is nice and quiet you will be fine. But around your area i was using gold 2. Theres a fair bit of mineralized gravels in the ground. I would start with Gold 2. After your used to it have a play with the two. Also cancel out -9 & -8, they are hotrock tones 😁
I also tend to run the machine on 40khz not 20 or multi...
Maybe shoot over to my facebook page by the same name and we can keep in contact incase im out your way after the lockdown... which is highly likely.
@@Swingin_wit_Willy that be great i went out today as I am 5min walk from the old digs.Diamond Creek mines old found a 22 lead and bits of iron cheers
@@terrymicalizzi oh i am so jelly your only 5 mins from the digs... good to hear you got to excercise today and got a couple of finds atleast.
shinny
Alwats live a bit if shiny, even better when its found with my Nox.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
most impressed with your Equinox 800 finds, now if only l could do the same
Cheers heaps mate. Its a very sensitive machnine. Just go slow and pay attention to your TID number. If you swing over a bit youll hear it. Just make sure your on the right ground too thats the key.
Thanks for the sub 👍
Take care and stay safe.
Gold 1 is for normal ground. Gold2 is for more liberalized ground.
Mineralized
why don't you also check the part of the sand that you empty from the scoop, instead you throw the sand out of your hands where there might be another nugget of gold 🤔 You need to check the sand what you drop to your hands !
Cheers for the comment mate, the reason I don't check the dirt in my hand if I have a target in the scoop is that its a Vlf machine... its so sensitive it will pick up on the iron content in your hand giving off faulse signals.
I throw all my spoils onto one small pile so that I can check it again with the machine later.
Once I have found the target and put it away, I flatten the spoil pile and then check with the detector again, then double check the hole incase there's another target.
It's hard to show the whole process every time as it would drag out the length of the episodes.
People generally only watch for up to 10 mins...
I will make series of some short episodes soon on techniques and tips for both coins and gold recovery in the near future.
Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
@@Swingin_wit_Willy Thank you for answer me :) Hope you will make lot of more videos...It is always interesting to see what kind of things people around the world found with Metal Detector !!! Greetings from Finland by the way =)
That common with minelab
Yeah minelab are great gold machines. Not to say that other machines cant compeat with them. Its all about how you set it up and use it. Patience is the key.
