Great video dude. I’m lovin all the info and tips you’re putting out about the Nox. 🤙
Thanks! I appreciate that!
I just bought the equinox 900 thanks for all that tips they will come in handy have a great weekend
Really has the settings, Keep you busy all day wondering if you have it set right. Pays to watch tube video's, not just the setting but what IS GOING TO BREAK and will need to be replaced. Go ahead and buy the upgrades and replacement parts, Keep them handy. Great detector for the "Smart crowd" Impressive.
Some really great tips.....Thanks and I will be watching.
Thanks for watching!
Great tips, thanks. I wish I knew about the individual resets on the various settings as I reset my whole machine the other day and have to set it all up again!!
Lol I just did the same thing last week.
Yes, it’s a handy one to know. I only leaned of it fairly recently myself, but thought others would be interested in knowing this ‘shortcut’.
Great tips and video 😊thank u
A good refresher.... thanks.
Great tips . Thank ya. I liked and subscribed
Thanks for watching & subbing!
Thank you very much. Well worth watching 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tips man 👍
Great tip for resetting individual modes , something I didn’t know , thanks for sharing buddy
A sneaky one, but very useful!
That reset tip for one mode is quite cool. Nice roundup here and thank you. I never think to bring a power bank battery but the machine does run better when the batt is above 1 bar. Good idea!
I'm happy to hear you found these tips useful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge base of tips
You are most welcome!
Greetings. Just Got My Equinox 800 In The Mail Today. Thanks For Sharing. All the Best.
Nice 👍
Mate bloody great tips!
Thanks mate!
Thanks for those tips Steve. I’m still finding my way around my Nox 800, which I’m learning to love. I have so far been on 3 digs with it and found a few decent items each time. Incidentally, I live in the UK, but have fond memories of detecting for gold (with a Minelab)in Western Australia, that was back in the 1990’s - those were happy days, especially as I found a few nuggets!
Thanks for your comment Anthony. Sounds like you're doing well - I'd love to visit the UK one day and do some detecting. It would be so rewarding finding old hammered coins, Roman artifacts and other interesting items - so much history! Good luck with your future hunts!
Thank you. I learnt a few new things :)
Excellent!
Good info ,, love from a Indian 🇮🇳Metal Detector
Thanks! Good luck out there!
Great video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great video.what size power bank is that does it have to be to charge the detector?
Wow !!! Thank you never knew thus
I learn something every time. Thank you.

I would like to ask you how long does a battery typically last on a single outing ? It seems like I’am starting to lose battery life a little each time I go out.
You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear the video was useful!
Thanks great tips 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good tips. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video! 👊🤘
Thanks! 👍
Great video. I am toying with the idea between the Nox 600 and and the Nokta Legend
Both machines are great, however I'd probably consider the Equinox 800 over the 600 as you have more control over the settings once you become more experienced with the machine. I'm also very tempted to get the Legend, and for the price and performance it's a very good option.
Wonderful thank you Sir
Thanks for watching!

please keep doing what you are doing.
Kind regards from England.
//Thank You Steve
You’re welcome!
Great!
Thanks!
Very nice, mahalo 👍🏽🙏🏽
Thanks!
For coin shooting n relacs
Very cool to learn about your cherry-picking technique.
Glad you liked it!
What number will a sovereign give? Thanks for your video
A half sovereign is a 15, and a full is an 18 on the Equinox.
👍
that reset tip is great, im still not sure why i didnt know about it, no more FP for me :)
Yep - it's a massive time saver that's for sure!
When do you charge your machine ? if if not using it much or if you turn it on and it has 2 bar? also how long do u find it takes to charge up?
I usually recharge after about 5-6 hours of detecting. It takes a couple of hours. For Lithium type batteries it is recommended to leave the device at about half charged if it’s going to be stored for a long time without use. Leaving the device for long periods of time with a fully charged battery can cause battery damage.
I've found that coins (same type) lying flat can give different numbers than those on their edge so you will be missing stuff
True! Coins lying on edge, or with other metal objects adjacent, can give very strange (different) signals, that's for sure. Coin spills (stacked coins) also give some strange signals!
Hello, I have a Vanquish 540 and was considering getting an equinox 800 or 600. Could someone please tell me why there is 2 detecting modes for parks, beach, etc? Any replies greatly appreciated.
Hi Bill. Each mode is configured differently so as to subtly alter the frequency weighting, sensitivity, and response. In park and field modes, I found the second setting much more sensitive to smaller objects than the first mode. This meant that in areas with many targets in a relatively small area, such as a popular park, the first setting is cleaner and makes the larger items like coins stand out more. With the beach modes though, Beach 1 is set up for the dry sand, and Beach 2 is set up for the wet sand and in the water. Personally, I always hunt the beach in Beach 2 mode, as it picks up deep targets no matter whether you’re in the dry or wet sand, and you can move around the beach without needing to change your settings all the time. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Hi,
Can a custom programme also be removed by pressing the detect mode button for 5 secs?
Just press the User Profile button again when you want to learn a new/revised profile, and the old one will be replaced with the new.
Fab thanks.
User profile - is that just the 800 ? (I’m a 800 user but for the 600 users).
The 600 doesn’t have a User Profile function unfortunately.
great, 1st person i see recommending single reset instead of factory reset
It saves a lot of time!
If y’all wanted a simple machine that an old person not good at changing settings all time which machine would y’all buy

How many milliamps is your battery Bank that you recharge your equinox with
Mine is a 10,000 Mah power bank, but you can get 20,000 power banks and they’ll be fine too. The detector only charges until full, and then trickle charges after that, but I’d suggest disconnecting as soon as the battery is fully charged.
What's the green flashing light
The LED flashes green while it’s charging, and then turns to a steady green when fully charged.
What settings go the deepest?
High sensitivity (without the machine chattering), low to medium recovery speed (3-5), slow swing speed, 11” or larger coil, dig repeatable targets, experiment with iron bias settings, but start with 0. Good luck!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting ok. Park mode 1 or 2?
Field mode 1or 2? Which is deeper?
@@mandovapehater6988 I prefer field 1
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting ok. I've been trying that and doing ok but having a hard time telling the difference in big iron targets and a desirable target. I'm used to an f75 which jumps from a small number to a big number on each pass when it's big iron. Any help on that?
Your backlight is on during video, to save power you should turn it off. JK I did learn something, the factory reset of park mode only was great. I wish I knew this before, Would have saved me time and lost finds.
I’m glad you found it useful. I put the backlight on for better contrast, but you’re right - always worth checking as it can chew through your battery life if you don’t really need it…
Those are not tips, you just read a manual
Most people do not read manuals, so if you find out information you didn't already know, it's a tip...
Just got an 800, great tips.
Thanks!
