    I thought I would throw my two cents in no pun intended! I'm an electronic technician by career for 30 years and have been detecting for almost the same amount of years! The frequencies in a multi frequency detector are different because they optimize the sensitivity of the detector for the metal that you're looking for so silver and copper are more responsive to the lower frequencies like 4 kilohertz and 5 kilohertz etc the higher frequencies like 20 and 40 kilohertz are much more responsive to gold generally, in the past detectors were only single frequency units and were optimized for the best of both worlds but with disadvantage the detector may be very good at silver and copper but not so good at Gold or a detector maybe a higher frequency and be better for gold but not so much silver and copper your run of the mill detectors normally are optimized so that they're average at both ends of the spectrum but not optimum! Multi-frequency detectors like the equinox when running in multi frequency utilize all the frequencies simultaneously so that as you pass over objects in the ground the detector is able to process that information and give you the most accurate information over a wide range of targets! Selecting the individual frequencies has very little to do with interference or EMI and more to do with optimizing the detector for what you're looking for so if I'm going to hunt gold nuggets I'll be selecting 40 kilohertz and running in only that frequency but if I'm going to hunt silver and copper I'm going to want to run at five kilohertz. Hopefully this helps everyone understand the difference. The majority of detectors in the world for decades now have been single frequency units and they are very problematic in highly mineralized soil and salt which multi frequency machines handle extremely well. It's not to say that a single frequency unit cannot operate in highly mineralized soil or on salt the work around for decades was to decrease sensitivity to reduce falsing but unfortunately reducing sensitivity also decreases depth so it's a give and take! Only in the last 30 years or so has multi-frequency really taken hold and Minelab is definitely the pioneer in that arena! Multi-frequency allows the detector to operate in some very harsh soil and wetted salt conditions while at the same time giving you the most advantage over a wide range of targets in the ground. The fact that you can select a specific frequency to operate on based on what you're looking for is an outstanding option! Anyways I hope this helps a little bit! Happy hunting and best regards! Btw enjoy the videos very informative🙂

      Flsandmaster that is very well put and I appreciate your feedback on that, it is good to have an idea what the frequencies are good for in the case you need them for a special hunt. Thanks again and I appreciate you watching.

    @LyudmilaRGVK 3 роки тому +48

    When ever possible Detectorist should strive to dig a 3 sided horseshoe shaped hinged plug so that the first lawn mower that runs over that spot wont suck the plug out of the ground. It also helps the grass to grow back, and before closing the plug and pressing it into back into the lawn pour any loose dirt back into the hole.

    My E800 just arrived yesterday. Got it put together and set up. Watching your vids is a GODSEND! Between you and Relic Dirtyhands, I'm getting to understand this machine and this 'hobby'. I've never done this, except once when I was about 7 or so...for about a minute during some family reunion or something...that was in the mid-70's. So...yeah.. how about "almost never". ;)

    Just my my 800 a couple days ago. The dealer was super helpful and showed me the basic setup. He also went over the use of the detector. Yesterday was my first try with it in the field. Dug junk, didn't find not one coin. After watching this video I feel much more prepared. For example the dealer never mentioned the scale when using the pin pointer mode. Also said to use park in #2 whereas you said #1. Thanks so much for giving me my confidence back!

    Thanks so much for this video! As a rookie with the Nox 800, I've used several of your videos to get my settings the way I want them and I am heading out over the holiday for the first time (outside of my own yard). My parents house has an old one-room school house in their yard, so I am hoping that the 800 can help me cut through all the junk thats around and maybe find something cool. :)

    Just found this and I'm blown away by what is the best beginners instruction online I have seen for the Nox 800, I've had mine for over a year but have only taken it out a dozen or so times and never re-checked the set up etc; after the first time so have learned a few things (only checking on the solid sounds and the pinpointer graph coming together at the top for it to be dead centre!) and can't wait for the snow to go and the decent weather to begin as this has given me the buzz back to go and search properly this time! Thank You! 👍

    bought a 600 model and could NOT find ANYWHERE a slow and thorough tutorial as this video. For instance, I could not understand why the face of the screen said EQUINOX and did not have the details of the screen protector. I didn't know that this particular protector would cover the equinox. Just simple things like that. I cannot tell you how much this and a couple other of your videos made me not feel some dumb trying to detect metal and figure out what all the options were about. I subscribed even though I may not need any further help, but your video is the BEST out there. Thank you, Art

I’m looking to get into this hobby and you explained things nice and clear. Well done and keep these types of videos coming. You guys over there must have too much money to just throw it away lol. There have been a couple of big treasure finds recently in the UK which gives you the encouragement to get a detector and get out there. Cheers and stay safe.

    Your video is the best I’ve seen explaining how to start using the Equinox 800 as well as some general detecting advice. Good photography, great audio and overall presentation. I’ve been metal detecting causally since the 1970’s using BFO machines and currently have a Whites Spectra V3i. I am looking at the Equinox 800 mostly because it’s lightweight (2.96lbs) compared to the V3i which is 4.2lbs.

    I have recently purchased the Equinox 800. I also have a Excal 1000 and a Fisher Aquanut 1280X. I have had both detectors for many years and both have well paid for themselves with the finds of the past. I have watched so many videos about the Equinox 800 and I think your videos are the best on UA-cam. My biggest problems is that I have watched too many and the advanced settings are a bit confusing from one video to another. I am a bit intimidated with my new Nox 800 detector. I have not assembled it yet...perhaps I should and just use the factory settings to start. It is so difficult for me to start a new learning curve since I am still attempting to master the older detectors I have. I guess a person really never masters any detector....so many variables...every hunt is a new experience. I just want to encourage everyone to just go out there, get fresh air and a bit of exercise and perhaps stumble across a fortune that everyone is looking for.
    Thanks for your time and effort with your very informative videos. I wish all the best and happy hunting!!!

    Good video, except digging a complete plug out, will kill the grass and get you kicked out for future digs. I only make 3 cuts and flip the plug, keeping live roots attached to regrow. Also use a mat to put any dirt on.

    • @lunatunes2
      @lunatunes2 3 роки тому +11

      Sorry Guys but leaving a hinge on one side of the grass does not make the rest of the grass on the plug grow back better. If it doesn't rain the day or night after your dig or if the ground isn't super moist/wet when you dig the plug then that plug grass is going to go brown......but it will grow green again.

    Larry, I noticed that you usually pinpoint in one direction, I pinpoint in two opposite directions. Like you use to see if your tone is the same in an opposite direction. Pinpointing in two opposite directions really helps me get the target centered in the hole. Hope this can help others as well. Great clip, keep them coming!

    • @SodBustersMetalDetecting
      @SodBustersMetalDetecting  3 роки тому +1

      It just depends on the target, I listen to the target and can pinpoint according to the sound many times, other targets I may need to cross pinpoint.

    Brilliant you have made this so easy to understand. I have the same set up as you with the garret pin pointer I find it easier to sit and use that to fine tune where to look. I will be heading to a friends property near Ballarat in Victoria Australia well known gold county soon and will be the first time using my new detector there as I have an old minelab I use on my property which is farming and rough. Thanks again for a great tutorial 😊

    "Thaaat's a quatah."
    I couldn't help it. I said that when you pulled up that quarter. :)
    My Equinox 800 isn't even here yet and I've learned that a 26-27 could be a silver dime and a 29-31 a quarter. I called pull tab on the first target before you said it. I can't wait to get it outside and begin learning it. I've hunted with a borrowed AT Pro a bit for fun and I've used Gold Bugs in my work but this will be my first I've owned. I want to get it dirty. I also live a 2 minute walk from the beach. I'm excited. lol
    I have to laugh. There is good "book learning" on YT and I thank you for your part in it. It is certainly need and very much appreciated.

    G'day Larry, thanks for this video, i think I've watched it now about 4 times before I take my new Nox 800 out, very informative and easy to understand.
    Down here in Australia we may fair a bit better in the coin stakes than you guys in the US as we have not only have our old, no longer used copper 1 & 2 cent pieces but we have silver 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c and Gold 1 & 2 Dollar coins so plenty to choose from so it wouldn't be that hard to pay for some of the equipment with findings although we also have a lot of rubbish bottle top and pull tabs although most canned drinks these days don't have the peel back removable tabs, they usually stay on the can and the tab folds down inside under the top. My main interest will be centred on the local parks and the popular beaches of Sydney.
