- In this video I headed back to one of my favorite parks in a small town dating back to 1850s! I wanted to test the V3.0 update and 4khz frequency further especially on very deep coins. The more I use this 4khz the more impressed I am. It is like adding anther metal detector to your arsenal! Check out the results in this video with live digs!

Haven't done update yet but keep showing VDI numbers, thank you for the videos it helps knowledge greatly, God bless stay healthy👊🕆🏁🕇👍
That’s the coolest thing I ever seen anyone do with this metal detector .thanks for posting
Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing .. I was hoping you would post a video on the 4khz.. nice finds.!
This video was a huge teaching tool. I just got one of these. Did a test run in my parents back yard and got a few signals like this, switching to 4hz really cleans those signals up. Thanks
Thanks for watching! So glad you found it helpful!
Hi fellow treasure hunter.Love your vlogs. Exstreamely entertaining and educational. I just subbed. Showing my fellow hunters some much deserved love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦. Keep them comming mate.
Thanks a lot!! Happy hunting!!
When digging that close to your finds almost always guarantees a scratch. Dig your holes a little wider and try and come up from under your target will be better.
Thanks for sharing at 4 khz
Finally someone using something besides multi. I use 4kh & 10kh. Would like to see a comparison between ctx and the nox using 10kh and 4kh
Hello hunter. So beautiful testing. My Detector is equinox.
Try dropping your recovery speed down on those signals to like 4 that helps also
Slow your recovery speed down even to 4-5, that really helps with depth. I hunt cellar holes on 5, and they're loaded with iron.
Very cool I'm a new family member to your UA-cam channel thanks for sharing the tips🤜💥🤛
Awesome! I really appreciate it👊👊
I've noticed with the 4khz every iffy signal including junk sounds great.
It finds deep targets for sure.
Yep it will false on iron and some trash as well. That is why I check targets in multi then the vdi drops and iron tones come through if it is trash. I have eliminated most of the trash that way.
It will sound good on small bits of metal you will hear a faint squeak usually junk coins just sound better in 4
If that barber would have been an S .....big bucks. Nice video I enjoy your videos
just did the update the 4 is great for checking your target but gives everything a high tone when hunting going to keep at it I'm new to the nox been a deus user for years I like both machines for different reasons there both keepers
Thanks. I have heard great things about the deus as well. You are right about 4k. It is a great tool for checking deep coin signals but I don't run it stand alone very often for that reason.
When you dig signals that may be good its an idea to carry a plastic digging tool when you get close to target. I know because I scratched the oldest silver I ever found. You learn the hard way.
I just download V3.0 update with 4 KHz glad to see it ID's better and sounds better.
Yep it will false on iron a lot but it really hits deep coins well.
Dude, that was impressive! I like this update compared to the previous ones, especially now with the 4kH frequency. Congrats on that Barber Quarter! GL&HH!
Dobrá práce 👍👍👍
GreAt vid.im still not sold yet on the new update I will say with these updates they always seem to completely change the entire machine and that's what I don't like .then you have another learning curve to get used to so for now I think I will stick with the one I have but thanks for sharing.
Thanks!! Yeah I hear ya though. I will say that while using the machine in multi frequency I didn't notice much difference after update. Nothing that would cause me to have to adjust or relearn. Equinox is am awesome machine even before the update so you can't go wrong.
4khz is not being used in multi-frequency so the machine shouldn't have changed in that regard. It's the "other" adjustments to the software you should be concerned about. And minelab hasn't really said much about that.
@@geraldb8856 that is correct 4khz is not utilized in multi. However we do not know what the "other stabalization" improvements are so that is why we test the update in multi as well as 4khz
Exactly. I tried 4khz briefly in the yard the other day. Man, nails sound too good to be true. Might be a good idea to bounce back to multi and double check tartgets that sound great in 4khz. Might save your back from digging rusty iron all day.
G'day mate I'm from Australia and am wondering if you have ever gone gold detecting in park 1 mode utilising the 4kw.
good luck
it def seems to boost something! I've seen wheats in the 30's which is super high. hey whatever works I guess:)
TC&HH Ben!
Exactly! I don't care what the numbers are as long as I can tell it's a deep coin I'm digging it! HH!!
Readings in the 30s does seem too high. I was surprised it was just a penny. Dud you rescan the area again to double check? 30s are reseved for quarters or rings most of the time
@@fjbsolutions2446 surprisingly I find copper pennies in 30s quite often. If they are deep and ground is moist they often hit 30s. I always rescan my hole and there were no other targets next to this one.
@@detectorben8007 It's nice to dig a deep target, but when is deep too deep, some of the stuff I've been digging requires a passport :) On the fence on what to do with the update and you channel seems to address some of my questions.
I 'alternate' into 4khz when the bizarro signals show up. I generally stay in Multi so to not miss 12/13 nickels.
what advantages are there with 4kHz with it being so close to 5kHz?
I've never updated my nox but I suspect it's running 2.0 version.
What is the long differance usong 4kw compared to multi kw
Great video Ben. I’m still learning how to use my minelab 800. I’ve used a Teknetics T2 for a while now. So it looks like what you’re doing is using multi mode to locate the target then switch to 4khz on the iffy targets to zero in on them? This looks like it would be good for going back through over hunted areas I guess?
Thanks
Ryan
Yes I usually hunt in multi and if I get a deep signal that is not really clear or solid I will check it in 4k. It will usually clean up a lot and hit solid coin numbers if it is a coin. Some nails especially bent ones will trick you. Good luck with your 800!
@@detectorben8007 Thanks for the help!!
I just switched from the T2 SE to the Equinox 600. The 600 is way better!
Very informative, now I have to go redetect my old parks for the 100th time. Is your approach to detect in Multi and fun flip to 4khz if you run into something iffy ...or do you head out to detect In 4khz?
Thanks! Yes I hunt in multi and if I come across a deeper iffy signal I check it in 4khz. If signal improves I definitely dig it. Good luck!
Great video much appreciated! Question for you I just bought a go Pro, I want to start videos for my friends I am assuming you mount it to your detector what kind of Mount do you use? Much appreciated
Thanks!! I use a flexible clamp style camera mount. Clamped just in front of arm cuff.
DetectorBen thanks Ben I will see if I can find one on Amazon. They have one I saw that looks like flexible balls.
I sure would like to see the difference between 4kz and 5kz.
How are u cleaning ur wheats they look amazing
I rinse them in water then use a little vegetable oil and microfiber towel to finish up.
Nice work.Still can't see why people have to give a thumbs down
Where is this at Ben
Would have been even better and may back up the 4kHZ theory if you had gone through each separate frequency before digging. Nice hunting though
Have you ever tried single 5 kHz to compare the difference?
I have tested 5khz some. I tend to get a lot of emi in 5khz in my area. But I will try to compare all 3 next time I have a good deep signal.
Are you running multi untill you get a odd signal. Or are you just running in 4khz the whole time? What are the disadvantages if you do?
I run multi most times and switch to 4k to check deep signals. But I believe in this video I was running 4k most the hunt in an area I had found very deep silver in the past.
What kind of cleaner do you put in your spray bottle?
It is simply tap water. Distilled water is good too especially if you are finding very old valuable silver coins.
Hey Ben, good video mate.
I have updated aswell and find the detector is so quiet when on 4khz so flip back to multi.
Just wondering what settings you're using whilst in 4khz.
Any help would be appreciated as I was new to the machine and then this update came out 😂
Do you just stick to setting posted at the start of the video?
Yes this whole hunt was on those settings. Depending on the site I may adjust sensitivity, recovery speed a little. If there is not much trash I will lower recovery speed. If there is a lot of emi the sensitivity will have to be lowered.
Nice one. Will give those settings a go this week sometime. Will let you know how I get on 🤙🏴
Sounds good. Good luck!!
Hi, your settings at the beginning are in multi. Do you then save the program but using 4khz as a dedicated user profile?
Interesting. Some like the 4kh and some have mixed feelings about it.
Yeah I was not convinced at first but once I found a method that worked for me I started having a lot of success with it. It will give false high tones and vdi on iron but it will also give solid signals on very deep coins.
@@detectorben8007 Thank you. Really enjoy your videos.
4kh kills silver
For your iron bias, I'm assuming you meant FE 4, not F24?
F2 iron bias setting level 4. I don't use FE iron bias. I generally drop down to F2 level 0-2 now.
I can't believe you got a 31 on a penny. Those old pennies are usually closer to mid 20s aren't they?
Yes generally Indians are around 19 but I do see them hit up into the 30s sometimes. Depending on the condition of the coin and soil conditions it can vary quite a bit. Any coin signal that is deep I'm going to dig anyway so I don't worry about the numbers too much.
Just curious, what was the mint mark on the quarter?
No mint mark on that one.
@@detectorben8007 to bad it wasn't an S!
does 3.0 enhance "MULTI" performance using the 600 without using 4khz ?
4hz is not used in multi mode on either 600 or 800. The update contains other stability improvements according to minelab but I have not really noticed a difference while using multiple frequency
I think I will stick with the previous OS update for now..seems to work a bit better for me
What coin program are you using if I can ask ?😊
It is a custom program I set up.
What is the best frequency for silver coins ??
Lower frequencies are better for high conductors like silver. 4khz or multi frequency is what I use for silver. Generally I will hunt in multi and then check deep iffy silver signals with 4khz to see if they still sound good or even get better in 4k.
The way you dig ? How many nice coins have u scratch
Only scratched 2 coins in 7 years detecting! Thanks for watching!
BEN DID YOU GET A 900 YET? I AM CURRENTLY FINDING COINS I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND WITH MINE.🙂
Not yet. I am very happy with my 800 and deus 2. Probably won't buy a new machine unless they release completely new technology. Most detectors now using multi frequency are all very close in tech specs and ability.
Am es muy bueno l have good sierto
Does the 4khz run also in multi? I just purchased the 600 and not familiar with multi frequency machines at all.
No it is not included in multi frequency. It is a stand alone frequency only.
@@detectorben8007 Thanks
what abaut nox -600 good?_
Absolutely. I have the 600 as well. It performs the same just has a little less adjustability.
@@detectorben8007 thanks)))))))
Think I could join you on a hunt
Was the guy in the back round yelling cuss words at u for digging such bad plugs?
Yep totally. The ground hogs and squirrels were so offended. Don't worry though I hunt the area frequently and I can assure you the soil recovered from the perceived carnage👍🤣🤣
Have to agree ..a good detecting shovel will make them much neater, faster, and ya wont be stabbing around hitting coins as much getting the depth a dedicated shovel would in a few seconds. Its like watching someone dig a grave with a spoon. Granted, that sandy soil is tough anyway but minimum will save you loads of time digging targets. Should also use a drop cloth for soil in public places. Much worse was some idiot I saw on here probing the ground with a screwdriver to hit and find the target before digging
@@carlsmith9077 I never use a full size detecting shovel in public places. Bad optics. I know some people that will kick you off just for having those in the park. A lot of concern here for my plugs but I always take great care to put the soil and plug back in and brush over the area. You cannot even see my plugs once I am done. I have been hunting these local parks on a weekly basis for over 6 years. I run into parks and rec all the time and they are very happy with how I treat the park and how I leave the area cleaner than when I arrived. I also carry a cloth in my pouch at all times and use it when necessary. I understand the concern as I have seen detectorists leave parks a mess full of holes and trash.
I miss videos where that pastor guy is with you. Just saying.
I been using field 1, but i been doing a lot of farm land exploring. I have not tried a park field yet. I still get nails and lead chunks, but i think going for copper coins that are deep it will happen.. Somtimes i wait for a lot of rain to soak the ground, and spots that i been over before i found new coins. I bet if the ground is wet, my equinox can do a good 7-9 inches, just have to slow down when you get a good blimp or a chirp on the machine and go over it a lot, then you can get the deeper targets i feel like.
4:03 you didt know that? Listen
Those plugs tho... very messy !!
Thanks for watching!
im jelous of your soil. i have to use big tools to dig because the soil here is almost solid. plus we havent had rain in like 2-3 months so its even worse
I love your channel, but it'd be so much better if you didn't say "merc" "wheatie" etc... like just be yourself, no reason to copy the hoover boys, they sound ridiculous when they say it, so don't copy that crap, you're great the way you are.
Thanks for the feedback!
Don’t ua know how to dig a plug
