      I'm moving back to Reno, Nevada after living in the Philippines over 10 years.. After watching your vido's I have a Minelab Equinox 800.. Just making 78 years old, I decided to start going to the hills to look for gold
      and ghost towns. I figured after learning how to use it, I will go back to Oregon, where I'm from to visit
      family.... If your put groups together for field trips, I would be interested in coming up for one, to learn more
      on how to use my Detector... I have watch your video's and think I would enjoy going with a group...

So, on my first day I found silver and gold!

    I would like to make something perfectly clear to new users of the Equniox. You do not need to hold the power button down until you see FP on your screen.That is only for when you are changing any programs or settings back to the stock factory presets.Holding the power button down until FP is on the screen will un sync your previously sync'ed headphones causing you to have to sync your headphones every time you power on your detector.

    Hi, I found this very helpful and informative. I was struggling today with using my Equinox for the first time, so found this tutorial and it has given me more confidence to try again. I have come back to metal detecting after a 30 year break; machines have moved on a bit and not like the old machines which were basically just turn on and go! I have had numerous machines over the years and I found the best one for me was the Minelab Sovereign Elite which was great for beach work. Unfortunately, this Equinox 800 is a lot more sophisticated for me (I'm 75 years old). A big thanks from the UK, you're great!

    I received my NOX 800 on Friday. I wish they'd sent the full Owner's Manual with it. Reading it on my phone is a PITA and the same with my computer workstation. The Quickstart Guide is very barebones. Not a lot of info, but it will get you started. Your 'basic' and 'advanced' videos have been a tremendous help! Thank you, so very much. I'm sure there are volumes, yet to be learned. But, you have certainly given us 'newbies' a leg-up.

  • @jeffmcclendon3835
    @jeffmcclendon3835 4 роки тому +3

    Good video to show beginners basic operation.
    Instead of doing a factory reset at startup, you can just hold down the black detect/mode button on the left for 5 seconds until you see SP on the screen and reset the search mode you are using to factory defaults.
    The threshold tone does not help you detect small targets in any mode. Instead, it tells you if you are passing the coil over a discriminated/rejected target. The threshold tone will momentarily go silent or null over the rejected target. It is a good alternative instead of hunting with the horseshoe button depressed all of the time so that all metals including iron are accepted. The frequent iron low tones can get annoying. If I hear the threshold tone go silent in say Park 1 but I have what seem to be good numbers I can also quickly press the horseshoe button to double check for iron and decide to dig or not.

    Fantastic video, step by step instructions on each setting. I have decided on the the 800 over the 600 and from watching your video I think it will be easy to set up. I did talk to a factory rep recently and he advised it could be powered on and go hunt, but I do understand an adjustment for ground balance would be good even if you want to hunt this way. But with your settings I think the learning curve will be much easier. I look forward to getting the 800 and and learning while I hunt. Thanks for your great video !

    You do got some good videos. Thanks for making them. I just bought my equinox yesterday and was at the GPAA here in Alabama. I pulled it out and after a few minutes I just put it back in the box until I could watch me a video. I’ve watched two of your videos and could take it out now and hunt. Not for gold yet but hint still the same.
    Yesterday it just confused me trying to hold hunt with it but I owned a xterra 705 a couple of years ago and just knew I need to learn at least a little bit about it before attempting more advanced hunting like gold right out of the box.

    Great review and info. I really love my equinox 800 and I use the 15 inch coil for the beach. I can't wait to use it in the field. Thanks for sharing and Gl and HH 😎👍👍

    Thank you, I just got an 800 in the mail today.
    I liked and subscribed.
    The one thing that I would like to mention is the power button.
    A short press of the Power button turns the detector on and off.
    A long press (5 seconds) restores the whole detector to factory settings.
    Without thinking, someone might turn it on with a long press every time and erase any of their personal settings.
    But this video is obviously titled Getting Started, just wanted to add that piece of information.

    Thank you so much for putting out this informative video… This has helped me immensely I picked up my equinox 800 this weekend and was a little intimidated by all its settings and you definitely set me at ease I’m on my way to the park... wish me luck!!!

    Good afternoon. Got my Equinox 800, 3 days ago. I also purchased, THE EQUINOX SERIES HANDBOOK, by Andy Sabish (a week prior to receiving Equinox 800). Read it cover to cover. Now, I have incorporated your tutorials as, a watch and learn as I scroll through the book again. I must say, you have been extremely helpful. Thank you.

    Hey Larry, thank you so much for your great videos on the equinox 800. My first machine and a wonderful instructional lesson on getting the best from it.

    Live in Charleston SC.. 5 mins from downtown. Been detecting about 5 years and have been very lucky.. Started out with the ACE detectors and did very well.. So I've had the ATP and it's a good good detector but I like to detect the beach in the summer because it's just God awfully hot in the summer.. I was torn between the simplex and the nox.. My wife bought me the 800 as a birthday gift so I bought her the Simplex for her birthday😁😁, only 2weeks apart.. She loves to go detecting with me.. I have some of our finds in digging Charleston.. I wouldn't call it a UA-cam channel but it's just away to remember some of my finds.. I sub to you and thank you for this vid.. Going out this weekend to hit the beaches. Defiantly a relic hunter but who doesn't like a gold ring... Thanks again
