    Keep an eye out for the New Minelab Manticore machine which many are calling the Equinox 1000! This machine is possibly going to be available around early 2023. Promises to be an incredible successor to the Equinox 800. The price point will be significantly more but as soon as we can get our hands on one, a complete guide video like this will be here on this channel so subscribe to stay tuned as I will be one of the very first in the USA to get this new machine. With the Minelab CTX-3030 being the flagship of the multi-frequency lineup at Minelab the new Manticore will slide in right between the CTX-3030 and the Equinox 800 in both price and performance. Rumors are also strong of a new Minelab Ultimate which will be the successor to the Minelab CTX-3030 and some are already calling it the Minelab CTX-4040. Stay tuned to this channel for all the latest news on the new detectors hitting the market!

    So make your videos as long as they need to be to share information or experiences with your fellow enthusiast.
    I guarantee this will be much more appreciated than leaving information out or abbreviating for the sake of trying to appease naysayers with short attention spans. The chapter options you offer are excellent as well. Thanks for your efforts, and good hunting. REP

    I just graduated from a low end detector. I still use the Nox turn on and go. Without any adjustments it kicks a$$ over what I had and loved. Things like an extension cord over an iron manhole cover OL ed(over loaded) my old machine. This one tells it like it is presenting the difference of copper and iron. A buried crushed beer can at 14 inches in gravel and dirt. Even found a partially rusted away sewing needle about 6 inches deep that my carrot would not react to. That was hard to find. I was stubborn enough to find what it was signaling. I have yet to really know much about the machine but when I do it will be even better. Notice I have not mentioned coins or better? Where I have been is the reason for that not the machine.

I know it's a better detector, but there's something to be said about the ease of use, even with experience. I didn't always get the best depth with the AT Pro, but I paid for that thing 3-4 times over. Few gold coins with it too.
    Need to get more time with the Equinox, but first few times out have been a struggle.

    I don't attach the Velcro to the coil wire that way because I swap between a 6"-11" coil the coils don't include them I might try to find extras to use them your way. What I do is wrap them around the shaft so I can loosen them enough to pull the cable through until I buy extra shafts also then it will change again. But I do like your way 😊

      This is a great question and a difficult decision for everyone in your shoes. I assume you're comparing that Equinox 800 to the original XP Deus and not the new XP Deus II? If so those are both machines that have been replaced by newer versions and the used sales Market is at about the same price on both. If that's the case let me know and I can give you some more advice but if you're talking about the new XP Deus 2 metal detector that is a whole different subject. Let me know what you're thinking about here and I'll give you some advice. Thank you for watching the video and for your great question. Happy holidays!

    • @BrassMedic

      Hi Lawrence, Thank you for the view and great question! So a little story about that.... Many years ago I was detecting at an older county fairgrounds and at the base of a tree got a typical pull tab signal of 22 (back in the Etrac days) and sure enough it was a beaver tail pull tab. Got another 22 right next to it, was another pull tab, got a 3rd signal right next to those and I still to this day don't know why I even dug it?? I would have bet the farm it was going to be a 3rd pull tab, when it popped out I literally could believe it, it was a beautiful men's ring, an 18k gold wedding band! Luckily this happened to me like 20 years ago and it taught me a very valuable lesson. If you don't dig pull tabs your going to miss gold rings! So to answer your question besides gold rings, you could miss some older trade tokens too. Mayba a half dime or 3 cent piece if in an old enough area in NY. But if your just trying to find clad and silver only and want skip the PITA tabs, yes just notch them out. But you will undoubtedly miss some most gold rings and gold jewelry. Cheers and best of luck! Mark

    At 21:09 you mention it's a good idea to get after market metal washers to protect the coil attachment so it doesn't get broken off. Where can I get the washers?

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +3

      I have seen them for sale on Detect-Ed but they now only sell the rubber upgrades. Check Steve's Detector Rods online, he sells spacers Model Number: EQACC-02 and I know the size you need in stainless steel would be 18mm in diameter, by 0.2 mm thick with a hole of 10 mm diameter. Hope this helps! Thanks, Mark 🤠

    • @stevejorde
      @stevejorde Рік тому +1

      Outlaw metal detectors sell a stabilizer that fits on the tab on the 800, which really adds extra protection for the tabs to prevent them from breaking off. They come in orange and other colors.

    Incredible! Did I miss it or did you mention your height or whatever your thought process is for choosing the longest position for the forearm brace? I'm probably over-thinking it but I want to make sure my ergonomics are dialed in and right now I'm not quite there.
    Also, when in pinpoint mode and you say "right on it," does that mean that the target is dead center under the coil, about where the the pole connects?

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  23 дні тому

      Great questions, you will want to the velcro strap about an inch below your elbow. And the pinpoint is exactly in the center of the coil. Thank you for your view and comment/question!

    Where was this vid when I bought my Nox a couple years ago ? So wanted to wrap the machine around a tree then slit my wrists. Great refresher course. I have the monster too. Do you find the nox better for gold ? I've only used the GM1000 for nugs....And the monster is great for gold jewelry. Takes all the guess work out of the decision to dig or not. its either ferrous or not. All my gold has come up with the 1000

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +2

      Darn, I wish I could have made this video earlier then! I know what you mean, these incredible machines can really be intimidating and finicky. My Gold Monster 1000 literally paid for itself the first 3 times I took it out! When set up correctly that machine is absolutely money. Like you said, it's a dig, no dig system and takes all the guess work out. My only complaint is it lacks depth over the Equinox 800 with the 11" coil on deep nuggets. Best practice is, hit a patch first with the Gold Monster, then Equinox 800 then come back in low and slow with a GPX-6000 or SDC-2300 and lastly with the GPZ-7000! Of course that's like $20k worth of machines there. But that would be the best way to do it if you could afford it. I really do think that the Minelab Equinox 800 is the best VLF gold detector on the market today (Fall 2022). Thanks for the view and comment! Best of luck out there 🤠⛏️

    Hi Mark. I bought the 800 to use in water. Due to the bad right ups I have avoided surf and lake hunts. Do you know if minelab has a fix for this or even where the leaks happen? Thx again

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +1

      Hi Lawrence, Thank you for the view and question! This is still an issue but from what I know after talking to Minelab is, it's mostly caused by swinging too fast or hard with the coil underwater, these hard fast swings put severe pressures on the handle area causing the seals inside the handle to flex enough to let water in. I'm sure it's still an issue but I would think Minelab learned a costly lesson with this oversight in R&D (just like the coil ears issue) and will be extra careful moving n with next gen machines. But to answer your question I don't blame you for being afraid, however I personally know many users who routinely swing this machine in and around water with no issues. They are all aware to move it slowly. Thanks again! Mark 🤠

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  23 дні тому

      On for example a coin sized object, it can detect to a depth of up to 12 inches (30 cm) deep. Larger objects can be detected at depths up to 18" or more. Thank you for the view and comment!

  • @aurelienlek4820
    @aurelienlek4820 11 місяців тому +1

    Multifrequency gives your more depth than the 4 khz frecuency ?!🤯 I always eard the opposite, and I actually always use the Park1 or Field1 mode in 4 khz and the lowest velocity, and catch targets that i don't ear with other frequency mode

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  11 місяців тому +1

      It depends on the type of metal to degree. A simple test in a garden of buried coins will reveal some interesting findings. The lower frequencies seem to do better on deep silver at the edge of detection depth, but even then, IF it can be detected in MF the machine gives a more stable ID and tone then the single frequency. It's the rule with all modern MF machines, modes that feature more lower frequencies will punch deeper into the soil but the eddy currents are not received back as prominent as higher frequencies are but this is not surprising as a 40kHz signal carries 10x more waves (to be received) than a 4kHz signal. On the contrary the small gold chains, earrings and fine jewelry are better detected on me des that feature more higher frequencies. I think what your commenting here shows that you already know this. But if I did not answer your question properly, please lmk. Thank you for the view and question/comment!

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for the view and question. Honestly, one way to think about any modern quality metal detector is it is going to detect at least as deep as the coil is wide. For example if using the stock 11" round coil on the Equinox 800, it should detect at least 11" on a coin. This requires good, clean ground where the mineralization of the ground is not too bad. However on bigger objects (bigger than an aluminum can) it can detect even deeper. It's not going to hear many objects past 1 foot. There are other machines that can detect bigger objects at more than 1 foot deep. They are called two-box detectors. Thanks again for the view and question, hope you will subscribe and watch some of my incredible live dig adventure videos as well. Cheers, Mark 🤠
