Thanks for the video. This is why the people who rarely ever dig gold rings will tell you that gold rings ring up like a nickel. Very few rings ever do. Great work.
Dug everything yesterday at a local freshwater beach and campground. Wifey and I spent five hours there - DIGGING ALMOST EVERYTHING. Our take? 84 cents - and three pounds of trash! Tons of bottle caps, old pop tops, bunches and bunches of melted aluminum burned up in campfires, tent pegs, beer cans in various stages of disintegration, fish hooks, nails, toy cars, bullets (this is Nevada after all), and who knows what all else. I will NOT be digging everything anymore. Oh, and thank God for our Garret pinpointers! If I thought I could find a huge bunch of rings like this, I may dig-it-all. But at MY beach, in MY state, not so much - ha.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I'm an inland coin hunter and almost never dig targets in those ranges because around an old homestead it would be junk 99.9 percent of the time and you just can't dig that much in a yard. But I'm going to the beach and brining my 800 with me so I will be digging all those low tone thanks to this very well thought out video. Thanks to you and maybe I'll get a ring.
Thank you for showing why you dig everything up. I had no idea the sound variations could be gold, silver, junk etc. Interesting and educational video.
Thank you so much for this video! I always wondered what you guys were talking about in the video when you would say A nice low town or a nice hi tone. Now I know thanks to your video! This is one of the most informative ones I’ve seen. I cannot believe the collection of rings you have they are stunning! Thank you so much for your videos!
Great video Tony! Also a great demonstration of the conductivity of pure gold vs alloyed gold. Gold alloys have far poorer conductivity than pure gold. Just a small percent of other metals cause the conductivity of gold to drop dramatically, even if the other metals are a good conductors, like copper or silver.
Most people In my opinion who metal detect for at least one year will eventually slow down on cherry picking targets . This video is a great example of why cherry picking can sometimes be disappointing. The nox is nice but benching my ctx is very difficult for me. Good luck buddy. Big Mex
Thank you for your time spent on this. While I live in WI far away from ocean beaches, this was very interesting. Just found your channel and subscribed. I really enjoy your videos.
Thankyou for your valiant effort. I watched the full video and it confirmed my suspicions. The equinox is a great tool ... the week link is going to be the user. Please carry on the great work. Thanks from the UK
Excellent demonstration of why to dig it all. I found more gold rings before all the bells and whistles. It would sound off and I would dig it. People have a tendency to cherry pick today. I have been going back the last few year to diggin it all.
Thanks for the video. I haven't found any gold rings yet with my machine. Could be because I passed on it because of the vid. I better start digging it all. Thanks again
Very nice 👍😊 my friend Tony, what do you have your settings on the nox for Beach hunting? Please tell me 😁👍 thank you for your time with all your rings and I am impressed you got it going on Tony!!! 💜
thanks man, that is an awesome video. definitly shows why you either love or hate the nox. basically anything can have any number lol and with 5 tones there is no help. thanks again.
It helps to consider the area you are in. Its a higher probability to find rings around gardens, flower beds, and swimming holes. Coins I find more around houses especially paths to doorways or within 10 feet or so of house. But close to house is also more nails and junk in general
Certainly an eye opener! We’re there any patterns at all? A couple of questions: Which firmware version was this on? Which scan mode was this on? Does it change with different hertz selected? Was there ID consistency if the scan was done at 90 degrees to original?
Just got my NOX , Thanks so much , you have no selfishness in you your advice and Patience for all your viewers, GodBless you , some day I hope to Hunt with you
I dig in 5 tones mostly parks and freshwater. I use Field 1 and park 2. Usually in parks don't look for gold, but silver about 90% of time you can recognize by "sweeter" swooshy sound while copper is more of a dull high tone. I am planning to go for gold more and I wonder if you can tell that with gold vs. aluminium the same way. Maybe on 50 tones. Thinking of doing video on that.
Great Video Tony! I'm new to the hobby and was down in SD over the weekend. I went to Coronado hoping to see you there....on Friday. I see you were at another beach. BTW....I specifically walked to the "FENCE LINE" that keeps all the "Civilians" off the base.....I was cracking up just standing there :) Hope to meet up with you one day.
Would you consider to some day set up your meter like you have it now and do a 101 class and explain in detail how all the settings and buttons work and your favorite expert tips ? I think that would be just as helpful and interesting as your chart video . Thank You . Mark ,Ft Lauderdale .
See , I didn't even know it could light up . I could see the numbers . I was listening to the different sound pitches . The light will be a plus . Thanks !
Well Tony that was a very impressing video you definitely have to dig everything I was really hoping that when you passed that thin balled up gold chain over the coil you would have gotten at least a soiled 1or 2 on the screen. there is a video on Utube showing two guys in nee deep ocean water showing a small gold chain stretched out on the bottom and getting a soiled 1 reading and a repeatable low tone on the Equinox 800 he then asked his buddy to try and see if he could detect it with his Excal and he could not. did you see that video. if so what do you make of it, looked very encouraging . now I am not impressed..Joe. from Canada..
Very very interesting Tony, it has me second guessing my temptation to buy an 800 for the beach. I dig it all with my Pi's anyhow...hmmm. Might buy one just for the fun of a new machine, and it would be nice to have disc for the beaches out in B.C. lots of iron there...I'll talk myself into it eventually..LOL!
I would love to get into digging. Unfortunately, my fake knees, arthritis all over and fibromyalgia don't allow me to bend very well. So fascinating. Love watching your videos!
Tony Eisenhower I think your camera was reading all the white board and so making it darker. Hope you won’t take this as a criticism just a little help. As said elsewhere great vid.
Great Vid. You need to open up a jewelry store ! I have been using a Whites Dual Field Surf PI for about 6 years at the beach and dig everything. Yes, I do clean up a lot of trash, but that's a good thing.
Thank you for this video. You got it Tony. Dig it all! Can you also do this test with the CTX 3030? I think the corona bottle cap will chatter on the CTX? Do you think the CTX is a better machine then the Equinox 800? Happy Hunting
I don’t own a CTX so I really don’t know how they would compare. A few of my buddy’s own CTXs and tell me they can discriminate better and are better at IDing targets but lately I notice they are swinging Equinoxes😄.
i hunt all metal and dig it all - love following cherry pickers - followed a guy with Excal discrim cranked and found a nice diamond last year between his holes in amongst the iron he passed up
Great video very interesting to watch some collection of rings you have bud and after seeing your video I will be going to dig up every signal that I hear because I only dig up te high tones and pass on by the low signals that I probably why I have only found a few bits of gold in the last 3years so I will let you know when I'm next time how I got on with your help and advice thanks much appreciated HH Gl
Hello Tony. Loved the video because I am looking to get out of my Fisher 44 and Sea Hunter to get a E 800. Two questions please. 1. Do you mainly hunt beach? Because I love being at the beach but my beach being less than a hundred yards away is always filled with depositors. The problem I have is that the fisher does only dry sand and dirt oh yes also fresh water (only the coil). And the Sea Hunter, I have been working for several months and seeing that I am in Brazil and this is the Capital country of bottle caos and pull tabs, I get good tones but I need to be able to hear them. I crank up the volume on both ( Fisher vol and SH Threshold) and the sounds of gold or any other precious metal is still not distinguishable. This is why I am tired of them. I am not getting the results I am looking for. And question 2. I wish that I could send you my sand, my fisher and SH and you tell me what I am doing wrong. I love metal detecting but if I don’t get a machine that rocks, I think I will have to give up. Oh yes and is there a big difference between the 600 and 800
I hunt mostly beaches. I’d hunt more on dry land but it kills my knees. The 600 lacks the 20 and 40 kHz gold nugget frequencies and a few other features you wouldn’t miss unless you were a nugget hunter. It has two less swing speed settings and doesn’t come with a pair of wireless headphones like the 800.
Hi neighbor! 😃 So are you favoring the Equinox over the Excalibur these days? How does the Nox do in our highly mineralized So Cal beaches? Which performs better on our beaches??
Very interesting Tony you proved your point. Design a beautiful ring for you wife and daughter with melting some it down. Your multi talented...bet after some research you could do it all.
Wow, that’s a tough one. It really depends on a whole lot of factors. For my beaches I use beach 2, iron audio on, 50 tones, volume max and set sensitivity to taste. Everything else factory default. I don’t have a favorite set of settings because conditions are continuously changing. I think ya just gotta use it and tweak stuff as ya go.
Great video Tony. Shame you didn't hit the back light. I dig everything but iron on most beaches. If I'm in an area where I may find relics then I may dig iron too .
Hi Mike. Here on SoCal beaches I hunt in pp mode and switch to disc to ID the target. Threshold barely audible, volume max, sensitivity from 6 to max or if I’m lazy that day I put it in auto. Disc set at minimum. Your mileage in Florida may vary 😄
I guess we can mask out 5 and under to skip the foil? That will make things a bit more tolerable. I thought though that some gold chains came in in that range.
As a Nox owner, this video was very helpful..great video, thank you. Alot of nice pieces of jewelry there. The men's band that rang up as a 33? I'm not sure if that's solid gold all the way through. The core might be stainless, that's why its ringing 33. I bet it's plated 24k. I wouldnt trust an acid test because you aren't hitting the core. There is counterfeit stuff out there that exists, it's supposed to be stamped plated, if it really is.
I thought it was a bad video because of the image that only the detector screen was visible when any ring approached. I also want to emphasize that as of min.21 the lcd screen of the detector was no longer possible. I would also like to comment that these numbers are also indicated in multiple objectives that have nothing to do with noble metals such as silver and gold.
Hey Donna. Good to hear from you. I do get out occasionally. I’m just not videoing anymore. I may get the camera out again but I just have a lot of other stuff going right now. Thanks for the interest annd all the best, Tony.
17:08 now I wonder if this is why I was never able to recover a shallow water thin gold band ring. Owner reported it was almost warn though as it rode on his neckless for a long time, ver old and his late grandmother's. His dog pawed his neck when he lost it he watched it go off the dock at 10' to 12' deep. Never found that ring after several SCUBA dives and the put me directly over the drop zone. I was using my Excalibur II. May go back this summer for another go at it, it has to be there unless some kids nabbed it before I arrived to search for it the first time. If I ever recover it I post a video report, just maybe the ring is split... Cheers, --> #SeattleRingHunter

Great presentation! Love that you verify no signal should go unturned!
What a great visual, love it! Thanks for doing this Tony.

And thank you for the good words and for tuning in. I appreciate it Donna.
Good work. Nice to see the results! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Like I said Tony this is the smartest thing anyone has done to show why we dig everything!!!. It could be tinfoil or a gold ring !!!
I dont have a detector yet ! Watch you all the time and
learned a lot .Really enjoyed this very much .! Thanks for doing this , You are VERY COOL !
Thanks Mark. Sorry about the dark screen.
Thank you again for this great video. I’ve watched it before, loved it. Refreshing my memory now that I’ve used the Nox for a bit.
Yer welcome:)
Thanks, Tony, for a very interesting and informative video. You are the Ring King!
Those rings would have been off to the refinery the day i found them...
Great video Tony! Also a great demonstration of the conductivity of pure gold vs alloyed gold. Gold alloys have far poorer conductivity than pure gold. Just a small percent of other metals cause the conductivity of gold to drop dramatically, even if the other metals are a good conductors, like copper or silver.

Very nice of you Tony to show us the test. I am a "dig it all" guy too ;-)) HH
Thank you for your time spent on this. While I live in WI far away from ocean beaches, this was very interesting. Just found your channel and subscribed. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the sub buddy. All the best from SoCal.
I just got my Nox 800. A friend sent me this video. This was very informative.
Thanks Tony, I tend to did everything with my 800, but after enjoying your video I will make sure I dig everything from now on.
Good idea😄
Thankyou for your valiant effort. I watched the full video and it confirmed my suspicions.
The equinox is a great tool ... the week link is going to be the user.
Please carry on the great work.
Thanks from the UK
Thanks mate..
Very interesting experiment Tony. Point well taken !!
Excellent demonstration. I'm convinced.
G.O.A.T.!!!!!! Look at that collection!!!!!! I learned a LOT!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
This has been SO helpful!!! Currently trying to decide if I should take up this hobby.
Just do it 😁
Excellent demonstration of why to dig it all. I found more gold rings before all the bells and whistles. It would sound off and I would dig it. People have a tendency to cherry pick today. I have been going back the last few year to diggin it all.
Dig it all!!! Great vid Tony!
dang maybe we should of gotten a pulse machine lol wow ok you sold me Tony got to dig it all :) great video very helpful thanks
Enjoyed the video Tony. Got me thinking of all the targets I don’t dig relic and coin hunting. At the beach I dig it all.
Man, talk about having to dig it all. You relic hunters amaze me😃
Saw this mentioned Merrill's video (Metal Detecting NYC) - thanks for the info Tony
Yer welcome:)
Thanks for the video. I haven't found any gold rings yet with my machine. Could be because I passed on it because of the vid. I better start digging it all. Thanks again
Great educational video!! Thanks Tony
That was impressive Tony🤗💜😀👍
Great video Tony
Very informative video.
Thank you for doing this video Tony.
God Bless
Very nice 👍😊 my friend Tony, what do you have your settings on the nox for Beach hunting? Please tell me 😁👍 thank you for your time with all your rings and I am impressed you got it going on Tony!!! 💜
thanks man, that is an awesome video. definitly shows why you either love or hate the nox. basically anything can have any number lol and with 5 tones there is no help. thanks again.
I love it and usually hunt in 50 tones. I pretty much dug everything with my Excal too.
It helps to consider the area you are in. Its a higher probability to find rings around gardens, flower beds, and swimming holes. Coins I find more around houses especially paths to doorways or within 10 feet or so of house. But close to house is also more nails and junk in general

Just shared your video in our group .:))) .International Equinox Users Group ! Thanks Tony Boi !!
Nice to be appreciated👍
great video ...after all that's what we do DIG METAL!! DIG IT ALL ALWAYS!
Just got my NOX , Thanks so much , you have no selfishness in you your advice and Patience for all your viewers, GodBless you , some day I hope to Hunt with you
I look forward to it bud. Thanks for the good words..
Great video!! Learned a lot 👊

Tony's online jewelry shop opening anytime soon
lol
Very good demo Tony, Thanks from Colorado
Yer welcome. All the best from SoCal
Can you please tell me what mode or how you set the detector up please
Great Video Tony! I'm new to the hobby and was down in SD over the weekend. I went to Coronado hoping to see you there....on Friday. I see you were at another beach. BTW....I specifically walked to the "FENCE LINE" that keeps all the "Civilians" off the base.....I was cracking up just standing there :) Hope to meet up with you one day.
Did ya walk around it😄
Would you consider to some day set up your meter like you have it now and do a 101 class and explain in detail how all the settings and buttons work and your favorite expert tips ? I think that would be just as helpful and interesting as your chart video . Thank You . Mark ,Ft Lauderdale .
Good idea. Next time I’ll turn on the backlight😄
See , I didn't even know it could light up . I could see the numbers . I was listening to the different sound pitches . The light will be a plus . Thanks !
Wow!!! and thanks. I'm looking to buy the 600. Can you eliminate iron and still find all the items on the chart?
For the most part yes. The NOX does take a little getting used to...
Well Tony that was a very impressing video you definitely have to dig everything I was really hoping that when you passed that thin balled up gold chain over the coil you would have gotten at least a soiled 1or 2 on the screen. there is a video on Utube showing two guys in nee deep ocean water showing a small gold chain stretched out on the bottom and getting a soiled 1 reading and a repeatable low tone on the Equinox 800 he then asked his buddy to try and see if he could detect it with his Excal and he could not. did you see that video. if so what do you make of it, looked very encouraging . now I am not impressed..Joe. from Canada..
Great job this is very educational to all detectorists..... would love to know how Romy is doing thanks Tony
I think Romy is holding up pretty well thanks for your concern.
Very very interesting Tony, it has me second guessing my temptation to buy an 800 for the beach. I dig it all with my Pi's anyhow...hmmm. Might buy one just for the fun of a new machine, and it would be nice to have disc for the beaches out in B.C. lots of iron there...I'll talk myself into it eventually..LOL!
I think it’s worth it to have the iron disc. Iron debris from 100 years of beach fires drives me crazy.
Do you have any videos of the settings you are using?? BTW excellent video, thanks
Nope, I just use default settings for the most part: beach II, sens around 20, 50 tones, etc. Thanks for watching.
Very educational, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the demo!
Yer welcome 😁
I would love to get into digging. Unfortunately, my fake knees, arthritis all over and fibromyalgia don't allow me to bend very well. So fascinating. Love watching your videos!
Thanks Laura...
Great informative video, one bit of advice you should have put the back light on the control box so we could se the numbers better.
Yup, yer right Ray, sure shoulda. Mebbe next time😄
Tony Eisenhower I think your camera was reading all the white board and so making it darker. Hope you won’t take this as a criticism just a little help. As said elsewhere great vid.

Tony, do these numbers also apply in the beach mode?
Yup, pretty much the same comparison.
i hunt all metal and dig it all - love following cherry pickers - followed a guy with Excal discrim cranked and found a nice diamond last year between his holes in amongst the iron he passed up
If you're going to dig it all, why not just use a PI detector instead?
Great video very interesting to watch some collection of rings you have bud and after seeing your video I will be going to dig up every signal that I hear because I only dig up te high tones and pass on by the low signals that I probably why I have only found a few bits of gold in the last 3years so I will let you know when I'm next time how I got on with your help and advice thanks much appreciated HH Gl
Yeah, let me know how it goes if ya think about it. Good luck buddy.

What brand of detector are you using, is it water proof?
Minelab Equinox 800. Yes, waterproof.
Hi neighbor! 😃 So are you favoring the Equinox over the Excalibur these days? How does the Nox do in our highly mineralized So Cal beaches? Which performs better on our beaches??
Hey Syl. So far I really like the NOX in our black sand. As you know both machines have their strengths and weaknesses 😄
Welcome to the SBCP...The Society of Beach Clean-up Professionals
Are you kidding me. I’m a charter member😄
Very interesting Tony you proved your point. Design a beautiful ring for you wife and daughter with melting some it down. Your multi talented...bet after some research you could do it all.
I’ll think about it. Could be satisfying.
Excellent visual demonstration. . . . . . a picture is worth a 1000 words!
Did you find all those things or do you own a jewelry store?
Thanks and yes, they’re all my finds. I don’t own a jewelry store but I’ve been thinking of opening one😁
good video thanks Tony
I'm wondering what would happen if you change the VDI number range, lets say from 0 to 150.
great video , thanks a lot
Guess I'll be digging a LOT more bottle caps...lol.
Great video Sir.
Tony, would the numbers be the same on a CTX3030?
I really couldn’t tell you. I don’t own a CTX, but from what I understand, they are pretty remarkable at target ID.
killer job tony !
Thanks bud
Nice video and thanks for sharing.
Dear tony what's the best setting for the equinox 800 on wet sand beach and underwater beache help me please what is the step's . regards
Wow, that’s a tough one. It really depends on a whole lot of factors. For my beaches I use beach 2, iron audio on, 50 tones, volume max and set sensitivity to taste. Everything else factory default. I don’t have a favorite set of settings because conditions are continuously changing. I think ya just gotta use it and tweak stuff as ya go.
Great video Tony. Shame you didn't hit the back light. I dig everything but iron on most beaches. If I'm in an area where I may find relics then I may dig iron too .
It woulda been a lot worse if I hadn’t called out each number😄
It still would have been a great video because of the visual effect the chart shows.
Muy buen video amigo me subió mucho saludos
Great video tony
Thanks buddy.
good test. I wonder what sector of discrimination small gold earrings fall in, maybe in the iron sector?
I’ve never found any gold that rings up solid in negative numbers. So I’d say 1s and 2s.
A very interesting way to show off! LoL Good job!
Lol. Ya busted me😆
You said you found most of these rings with you Excalibur.can you tell us Excalibur user the setting you use..Thanks Mike in Florida
Hi Mike. Here on SoCal beaches I hunt in pp mode and switch to disc to ID the target. Threshold barely audible, volume max, sensitivity from 6 to max or if I’m lazy that day I put it in auto. Disc set at minimum. Your mileage in Florida may vary 😄
Thus endeth the lesson ... or however Sean Connery said it, in The Untouchables.
I guess we can mask out 5 and under to skip the foil? That will make things a bit more tolerable. I thought though that some gold chains came in in that range.
Yes they do. Ross (thesilversniffer) found a nice chain that rung 1and 2. I don’t think i would mask out any positive numbers on the beach.
As a Nox owner, this video was very helpful..great video, thank you. Alot of nice pieces of jewelry there. The men's band that rang up as a 33? I'm not sure if that's solid gold all the way through. The core might be stainless, that's why its ringing 33. I bet it's plated 24k. I wouldnt trust an acid test because you aren't hitting the core. There is counterfeit stuff out there that exists, it's supposed to be stamped plated, if it really is.
Thanks bud. The ring is stamped 24k but I think I will have it checked out.
Don't need, because pure gold really sounds very high like that. Have tested here with a 1 ounce gold coin.
Just to fill in your 1, my friend found an expensive (sold for 6k) wedding ring on the beach and it rang a 1.
if you have the iron audio on i think you will know if its a old bottle top , it gives that deep iron tone
Yep, sometimes😁
I'd be leery of that 24k band other than that a great example of signals Tony, nice collection of rings too!
Yeah. It rings up way to high for pure gold dontca think.
What is the tagged ring in slot 33?
Just watched the end of the video thank you great video!
Do you think the Excalibur would have missed a lot of these? I’m still loving mine, finally got my shoulder strong enough for the weight.
Actually I found most of them with my Excal. Glad yer back at it bud.
depends if you crank your discrim - i hunt all metal and find lots behind excal users
I thought it was a bad video because of the image that only the detector screen was visible when any ring approached.
I also want to emphasize that as of min.21 the lcd screen of the detector was no longer possible.
I would also like to comment that these numbers are also indicated in multiple objectives that have nothing to do with noble metals such as silver and gold.
Hey Tony! Are you still out in the beaches?? I miss you!!
Hey Donna. Good to hear from you. I do get out occasionally. I’m just not videoing anymore. I may get the camera out again but I just have a lot of other stuff going right now. Thanks for the interest annd all the best, Tony.
@@TonyEisenhower Thank you for answering. May I ask, do you still get money from UA-cam if u don’t add videos? I’m still NOT monetized.
oh! And what is the name of your lightweight scoop? (Some Russian made name?)
Stavr from Ukraine.
And bottle caps can sound like coin spills on the equinox!
Yup
Great video. So who would want an Equinox 800 if you can’t discriminate out ANYTHING???
It’s got good iron disc.
17:08 now I wonder if this is why I was never able to recover a shallow water thin gold band ring. Owner reported it was almost warn though as it rode on his neckless for a long time, ver old and his late grandmother's. His dog pawed his neck when he lost it he watched it go off the dock at 10' to 12' deep. Never found that ring after several SCUBA dives and the put me directly over the drop zone. I was using my Excalibur II. May go back this summer for another go at it, it has to be there unless some kids nabbed it before I arrived to search for it the first time. If I ever recover it I post a video report, just maybe the ring is split... Cheers, --> #SeattleRingHunter
