Minelab Equinox 800 trashy park hunt. Setup to have coins high tone. Link below to purchase the Equinox from amazon which will help support the channel. Thanks. amzn.to/3sdN8sh
Ha i seen that penny go flying on the first dig.Was waiting for you to notice that..I once had a target disappear and didn't find it until i seen it on the end of my shovel on the next hole..
First off nice video. Trashy parks are the common in upstate ny. I've had my nox 800 a week and have found everything from pulltabs to a diamond ring. My main concern was the fact you weren't wearing gloves and actually had glass in a hole. That could of ended the hunt for the day right there. The other thing that was noticed was you passed on targets. Only takes a few seconds to dig them. Your video showed exactly what to expect from a public park and what one could expect to find.
Speaking of license plates, reminds me of when my daughter was playing around with a detector in the late 90'sand found one of the old long plates on a lake beach.
It looks to me that the depth chart is way off. Looks like most of the coins are reading between 4-8" and they are about an inch or two. Your thoughts??
The EQX 06 DD coil would be ideal for situations like a trashy park. I pulled out over 300 coins from a park that inexperienced and ill-equipped detectorists avoid due to the high amount of pull tabs, bottle caps, etc.
Enjoyed watching. I took mine out on it's maiden voyage two days ago and hunted both days. It's was good call out what I thought was under your coil - Digging big holes for a 20, I would probably just perfect popping them out with a probe, but we've all done it. I was more worried you were going to stick your hand in a hole that had broken glass connected to a bottle cap. Gloves. :) I appreciate that you took time to video your hunt and post it. Thanks a bunch! Keep them coming....
Man...that's some rich looking soil there! Nice and dark. The Nox is a great machine. I have been using an AT-Pro and an X-Terra 705 for the last 5 years. Bought a Nox 600 last week...first dug target was a silver quarter in a park I thought I had pounded with the other 2 machines. I have the smaller coil as well but have not tried it yet.
Steve I have 5 extra coils for the 705. 2 of the CoilTek coils, the WOT 15" and the 6" Digger. The other 3 are Minelab coils made for the XTerra series. All at different frequencies.
I started detecting 50 years ago with BFO and TR detectors. Quite a few years before clad coins. People are so lazy anymore, dig everything, you'll learn your tones and you will start recovering gold rings. Not preaching, videos put out good info but 4-6 hours of swinging your detector and trying different settings will get you in sync with what your detecting is picking up. HH
Bill question for you. Do you run your Equinox with the latest update? Or prefer the original version? I’ve heard conflicting info on the update being worse and wondered your opinion on which you prefer and why. Thanks 😁
this is basically what its like to detect in the parks by me in South Africa. impossible to find gold range because every swing is 20 targets in that range so i just have to look for high number targets .
That machine is impressive. I could watch you hunt with it all day long. Which means if I get one, I'd be AWOL 24/7. Thanks for showing us in detail what the equinox will do and how it works. Saw a video comparing it with the Deus and the AT pro and the 800 came out way ahead. If anyone would like the link to the comparison ( was really honestly done) let me know. Fyi, the AT pro failed miserably. Thanks again.
Garnet Carmichael he was running the ATPro at 3 out of 8 bars of sensitivity. Not exactly fair. But yeah, I would hope the Equinox is a better machine. It would be embarrassing for Minelab if it wasn't.
We need to move on. The ATPro came out in 2011 i believe. It's old tech. But why not be fair when doing comparisons. There's no need to skew the results, especially when the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
Dan B . I don't recollect any mention of level of sensitivity used on either machine. He only mentioned " settings out of the box" or " factory settings" I think we both envy the the capabilities, and if owned one, would have to start from scratch and rehunt everything we've hunted before. It's that good
Hi mate sorry to trouble you. I've just got a nox600 and I'm struggling. Just watched your video and the beeps are going all over the place and you were ignoring them .I have been digging every beep and getting nowhere. I do the stony beach all I've got in a week is 3 bottle caps and 2 ring pulls .have you got any tips please. Thanks. Tom.
I know what the target ID's are for good known targets and concentrate on digging them only. Learn what id's your coins or other good targets come in at and concentrate on digging those signals only for a while until you get used to what the detector is telling you.
Im probably going to get an etrac this week haven't been able to hunt been raining in va ill hunt with both ive had my v3i about a year about 100 hours use about 600 coins 3 peaces of silver va is really Mineralized
I have the 600. I like it but it seems like your depth is different. I thought each arrow is 2 inches or so. Iam digging like 6 to 8 inches withe 3 arrows or more. Not sure why yours isn’t the same
Cool. Honestly though, I think the 0-50 VDI on the NOX was a huge mistake. There aren't enough notches between common target types. I think I'd still rather use my AT PRO in a park full of pull tabs. :) Although if you were running with more tones it might make it easier to hear the difference between a square tab and a nickel, who knows. I know it's easy to hear with the pro. One coughs, one is smooth.
The NOX in an infested aluminum and bottle cap environment will be leaving a lot behind as well. Especially modern steel core clad and gold. You don't see anyone pulling that stuff up with this machine UNLESS they dig everything or get lucky in that one solid 13 zone(large rings). If you watch actual gold VDI testing on the NOX it's all over the place. It will certainly find it......but are you going to dig a solid 13 after finding 120 solid 13s that were square tabs in an hour? I might....lol. Most other people will not. With the AT pro you can eliminate about 80% of pull tabs based on sound alone........combined with VDI probably 95%. The NOX is a nice machines and I'm still going to get one because there are places it will certainly come in handy. The local park.........not one of those places unless I'm hunting silver or copper only.
Well then whats it like against an impact . I have the impact but ordered a Equinox 800 .Not available in the UK YET . Great informative video . Cheers .
I don't have a nox yet. But, been watching a bunch of videos on it. When you get a good target but it jumps a bit, try switching over to 10hrz. now if it is still around the same id then its probably good if it jumps to a higher range then its probably junk. I will be experimenting with this when i get mine. ;-) . Keep the nox videos coming.
Looks like a good machine, but was undecided on buying this detector. From the looks of it's performance there's some hit and misses. Are you having better luck and does this detector do a good job differentiating between trash and value targets? Did Minelab put Multi-IQ technology with this model?
I'm an Ace 250 user now looking to step up to an equinox 800 or the deus XP I did not see any depth indicator on the screen is it there or did I just miss it? nice video by the way
can't you notch out the zinc pennies? whatI'm seeing here isn't all that spectacular. I can notch out those pulltabs with a golden umax I'm not knocking the machine but lets see some of the notching features of this unit. We have trashy parks just like this as well but surely there is a way to notch out lots of that junk. Thanks for the video. And what would be the life of hunting on one charge?
The battery life is supposed to be around 12 hours I think I hunted with it for four hours and it went down one bar on the battery meter. I will try to make a video using notches next time.
Nice Video! Question on the Nox 800 and your video...I noticed in the first couple of digs (3:30) - you got a 20+ number, but the depth showed 12 inches --- but when you dug it, it was only like 2 inches .......why did the depth meter show so deep??
I think the depth meter is not very accurate. I do believe they came up with an update that is supposed to address that issue but I am not sure as I have not updated the detector.
Everything I have been reading says recovery in trashy areas should be up around 7, you were super low. Have you tried it with a faster recovery? That should separate eve better!!
If you had to pick just one detector, out of all the detectors you used and tested, Analog and digital alike, which detector would you keep as your own? , I been watching your past video's and that fisher F5 not only looks good seems to be good as well.
HELLO DIRTFISHING ARE THE VDI NUMBERS THE SAME ON TARGETS IN PARK,FIELD AND BEACH BECAUSE BEACH MODE VDI NUMBERS ARE CLOSER THE SAME AS PARK. AND ON YOU TUBE I WAS WATCHING SOMEONE IN A FOOTBALL FIELD IN PARK MODE.IF THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 THEN WHY DO THEY HAVE PARK AND FIELD ?
This is from the manual. Park 1 is optimized for modern coins and larger jewelery with a default discrimination pattern set to reject many common aluminum foil-like targets. Field 1 is for general hunting with high trash rejection. This assists in locating desired targets more easily. The default discrimination pattern is set to reject Target IDs 1 and 2 (most coke signals). Looks like they are optimized for different types of detecting.
i know that you have your break points set so you have nickle and and pennies on up as a high tone and all others as a lower tone. Can you turn the tone completly off where you have the low tones set so that you don't even have to hear all those low tones which would make the high tones stand out more and so you don't have to hear all those other sounds? thanks
Hi Gene. Yes, you can set them up that way, but even with a volume of “0” you still will hear ALOT of clicking when you go over the “0” volumes targets, I know because that’s how I setup my program today for a trashy park I hunt, and gave up after 1.5 hrs of digging 12/13 solid signals which were all square tabs/beaver tails. I’m not giving up on the Nox yet, but I’m thinking this is better suited for open field hunting versus trashy parks. We will see 😁
Lord Caswick seems like all parks around me also have so much trash the signals come like automatic weapon fire - makes it impossible to pinpoint with coil. FYI pieces of old tv antennas give great numbers/signals in the 30s. Trash signals just like good targets for me in park 2 default mode, multi.
@@cgame-bg6kz I dont know were you are going to get it from but check with JMT Metal detectors and Showme treasure. Tell them dirtfishing sent you and they will give you a good deal.
Zone 1 is -9 to 0 Zone 2 is 1-11 zone 3 is 12-13, zone 4 is 14-18, zone 5 is 19-40 I set zone 2 and 4 to a lower frequency and zones 3 and 5 to a higher one.
One way to set up if you still dig other numbers. Why wouldn't you just reject all but area for nickels and dime or penny up and set to fifty tones. This is like the E Trac trashy coin pattern. Just wondering what you think about that pattern? Thanks
You can do that and I have ran it that way. I didnt use 50 tones though. I will try that next. Yes it would be the same idea as the trashy park pattern and make for some quieter detecting for sure.
Since you asked about the Etrac or V3i I would say they are both capable but for some reason the Etrac sure seems to like it.....;o) I would take an Etrac.
Since you said you were new to detecting I would disc out the iron until you get a good feel for the detector. If you are mainly coin hunting I would disc out the iron. relic hunting you could listen to it but in real trashy areas it can get overwhelming.
Stop comparing witch is better the at max or equinox 800,it's up to you which one you decide ,to be honest equinox 800 is not easy to set up for the beginners, at max is coin relics machine why use are garrett pinpointer if you think or machine crap get your own equinox 800 pinpointer
It is lighter than than the Etrac, it has more tone options, it is waterproof, cheaper, more programs, faster. Cons, it does not have the FE and CO numbers, no sunray probe, not much in the way of coil selection, yet. No option for auto sensitivity. Both seem to have around the same depth.
If the trash is found between 13 and 21 why keep diggin those numbers. The keepers are all over 21 except gold. Why not take the machine to a non trashy old property and show us how it does without the trash. Im not interested in pull tabs and clad. However I have yet to see anyone with a nox dig a beer cap. Not a twist off, a hard beer cap. Im wondering why.
I dont really have any old property to take it to. Most of my detecting is limited to public parks and schools. I have dug some some rusty beer caps. They hit about where a nickel does. 12-13. Sometimes they have a little iron sound sometimes not.
niloc drof If you perceive my comments to be rude you might wanna change your panties. Or grow up and stop being so sensitive. I was asking a valid question. Detectorists who may be interested in the nox have seen lots of videos of all the crappy signals already. I do appreciate the effort and I appologize if I came across as rude...lol
I actually thought he was being way too careful by using a freaking screwdriver/garden scoop 🤣 Over here no one seems to give a shit as long its not their private home unless u have their permission. When I hunt I use a landscaping edge cutter to make large squares, and usually do my best to put everything back the way it was, but it does leave a few dirt marks. Considering this video was made it February in a few weeks in march the grass would have came out like nothing happen anyway. The only place where I think I would get fined for doing this would be beside a government building and thats a whole different story..
Nice video. Enjoyed watching. I am wanting to add the Nox 600 to my current collection, so your info was very helpful. I'm leaning towards just the 600 over the 800. Thoughts on that? Liked and subbed, can I get return sub? I would appreciate your input on my 600 choice. Thanks. GL & HH
Gasket scrapper with the edges rounded in a pedestal grinder work great. Use a quarter, trace it on the gasket scrapper and round them off. Stole the concept from Bill and Mowerdog 😉
If you want a machine that tells you exactly what your target is your gonna have to wait. And you may need a loan for it. I think Part of the fun of this game is being a detective and the unknown. If we all knew what it was the good stuff would be gone in short order. The person who works hard to understand signals and setups will dig. And they will be rewarded.
☝Stop with the low id numbers,.. go only for 30+ go for silver and buy a 5 or 6" coil especially for trashy fields. - sorry for my English I am dutch -
About the only thing that come in 30 and above would be quarters or half dollars. If you want to buy me a small coil I will take you up on that.....;o)
Thank you for showing the numbers. It is very helpful.
Ha i seen that penny go flying on the first dig.Was waiting for you to notice that..I once had a target disappear and didn't find it until i seen it on the end of my shovel on the next hole..
Lol I have had them stick to my digger too......
it was driving me nuts, lol. I cant wait till mine arrives in a week!
Hello from Russia ! Good day and nice find
I do a shot for every time he finds a zinc penny, and I always never make it to the end of the video :) Great vid Bill!
My next one I will only show all zinc digs for you....Lol
That’s why I always enjoy Bill’s videos - he hunts the same types of areas I do and keeps it real. Enjoy the shots!
Enjoying watching you put the Nox through its paces; seems to hold its own in your trashy park test.
Love it coin goes flying and you can’t find it lol. It’s happened to me a couple of times.
Thanks. Great video. Made me buy a nox just this morning. Brian
;o) They are nice for sure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing with the new machine I really appreciate it.Carl HH
Liked the video! I was just like being there, appreciate you taking the time!
Excellent video! A buddy of mine who just go his Nox said he used settings identical to the one you used in this video. He was very impressed.
Good deal.
Enjoyed watching. I took mine out on it's maiden voyage two days ago and hunted both days. It's was good call out what I thought was under your coil - Digging big holes for a 20, I would probably just perfect popping them out with a probe, but we've all done it. I was more worried you were going to stick your hand in a hole that had broken glass connected to a bottle cap. Gloves. :) I

Very well done. Park, trash and reality! Best regards!
Good video, but why would you throw your trash back into the hole like the plastic fork
Nice vid Bill. Enjoyed it. Man, I wish my Equinox would hurry up and get delivered! HH Dewayne
I started detecting 50 years ago with BFO and TR detectors. Quite a few years before clad coins.

Great video! 👍🏻🙂 Keep em coming! 🙂
Thanks.
ITS RIGHT THERE!!😂
lmaooo
Thx for the video. Currently swing a Simplex but just bought a Nox 800 so appreciated seeing the live dig to get a feel for the target IDs.
I swing a simplex and i am considering the Nox800. How do you like the Nox Vs the simplex? Is it worth 3X the amount?
Bill question for you. Do you run your Equinox with the latest update? Or prefer the original version? I’ve heard conflicting info on the update being worse and wondered your opinion on which you prefer and why. Thanks 😁
Great Video ! I was contemplating getting the Anfibio, but that chatter and bouncing VID was all over the place. Nox is so much more smooth.
this is basically what its like to detect in the parks by me in South Africa. impossible to find gold range because every swing is 20 targets in that range so i just have to look for high number targets .
Equinox working among that junk is amazing..
If you are running out of battery with the Nox, carry a small USB powerpack and your lead, not expensive at all.
Can you still use the unit while it's charging?
You dug some pennies at a depth of 5 arrows. When I try to go for those targets it’s usually very deep.
That machine is impressive. I could watch you hunt with it all day long. Which means if I get one, I'd be AWOL 24/7. Thanks for showing us in detail what the equinox will do and how it works. Saw a video comparing it with the Deus and the AT pro and the 800 came out way ahead. If anyone would like the link to the comparison ( was really honestly done) let me know. Fyi, the AT pro failed miserably. Thanks again.
Garnet Carmichael was that Gigmasters test. Was very unbiased and informative. HH
Garnet Carmichael he was running the ATPro at 3 out of 8 bars of sensitivity. Not exactly fair. But yeah, I would hope the Equinox is a better machine. It would be embarrassing for Minelab if it wasn't.
This machine is obviously more advanced than the AT pro. Are you saying we are obverse to advancement or not willing to let go ?
We need to move on. The ATPro came out in 2011 i believe. It's old tech. But why not be fair when doing comparisons. There's no need to skew the results, especially when the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
Dan B . I don't recollect any mention of level of sensitivity used on either machine. He only mentioned " settings out of the box" or " factory settings" I think we both envy the the capabilities, and if owned one, would have to start from scratch and rehunt everything we've hunted before. It's that good
Great video. I need a nox
I wish you would show what a deep target sounds like on modulation buy at least lifting the coil.
GREAT VIDEO DIRTFISHING I ALSO GO MAGNET FISHING
Hi mate sorry to trouble you. I've just got a nox600 and I'm struggling. Just watched your video and the beeps are going all over the place and you were ignoring them .I have been digging every beep and getting nowhere. I do the stony beach all I've got in a week is 3 bottle caps and 2 ring pulls .have you got any tips please. Thanks. Tom.
I know what the target ID's are for good known targets and concentrate on digging them only. Learn what id's your coins or other good targets come in at and concentrate on digging those signals only for a while until you get used to what the detector is telling you.
So is this machine always this noisy or is it just that trashy out there?
c. game that’s urban pollution at its finest
I wanna get the small coil and test it out on trashy areas
it was killing me that coin was just in front of your first plug, and you didn't see it.
Lol I know it....
AgilDog1 - LoL me too 😂
Would have been better if you just gave up on it and went to your next target. We would have never let you live it down.
Im probably going to get an etrac this week haven't been able to hunt been raining in va ill hunt with both ive had my v3i about a year about 100 hours use about 600 coins 3 peaces of silver va is really Mineralized
I have the 600. I like it but it seems like your depth is different. I thought each arrow is 2 inches or so. Iam digging like 6 to 8 inches withe 3 arrows or more. Not sure why yours isn’t the same
I'd like to see you do this place again in Park 2 mode, I am seeing the numbers totally different then in Park 1.
I can do that, may be a week or so.
Cool. Honestly though, I think the 0-50 VDI on the NOX was a huge mistake. There aren't enough notches between common target types. I think I'd still rather use my AT PRO in a park full of pull tabs. :) Although if you were running with more tones it might make it easier to hear the difference between a square tab and a nickel, who knows. I know it's easy to hear with the pro. One coughs, one is smooth.
You’ll be leaving plenty behind then.
The NOX in an infested aluminum and bottle cap environment will be leaving a lot behind as well. Especially modern steel core clad and gold. You don't see anyone pulling that stuff up with this machine UNLESS they dig everything or get lucky in that one solid 13 zone(large rings).

Did you adjust your tones? I liked how 13 was a higher pitched tone..... obviously for Nickels?
Yes.....;o)
Well then whats it like against an impact . I have the impact but ordered a Equinox 800 .Not available in the UK YET . Great informative video . Cheers .
The ID is more stable on deep targets with the EQ. Depth may be close between the two. I will have to do some comparisons when I can get out again.
what do you think is it a better beach machine or land machine i see a lot of guys useing it on beach and they say its amazing on beaches
I don't have a nox yet. But, been watching a bunch of videos on it. When you get a good target but it jumps a bit, try switching over to 10hrz. now if it is still around the same id then its probably good if it jumps to a higher range then its probably junk. I will be experimenting with this when i get mine. ;-) . Keep the nox videos coming.
Thanks. I will give that a try next time I go out.
What settings are you using for your 800? I just got my 800 this week. My first detector. I’d love your advice on settings
Looks like a good machine, but was undecided on buying this detector.
From the looks of it's performance there's some hit and misses. Are you having better luck and does this detector do a good job differentiating between trash and value targets?
Did Minelab put Multi-IQ technology with this model?
Looks like it has good separation from the trash. Which detector has been your favorite for finding good targets among the trash?
The makro racer and impact are good at it but so is this one. I need to get some more experience with though.
I like your digging scoop where did you get it

thanks brother! great videos just subbed your channel.
That park is trashy, I gave up and hunted the basketball halfcourt. Nice to see the Equinox in action!
There are still a ton of zinc pennies around the basketball court I didnt even bother with.......;o)

Nice Video! Question on the Nox 800 and your video...I noticed in the first couple of digs (3:30) - you got a 20+ number, but the depth showed 12 inches --- but when you dug it, it was only like 2 inches .......why did the depth meter show so deep??
I think the depth meter is not very accurate. I do believe they came up with an update that is supposed to address that issue but I am not sure as I have not updated the detector.
your not using the horse shoe button which would save you alot of digging
Can you reject aluminum with this detector?
HELLO I SEE ON YOUR SCREEN YOUR NOT USING IRON BIAS BUTTON OR ALL METAL MODE ANY REASON
Bill, Are you giving up metal detecting? Hope your health is OK.
GREAT VIDEO ENJOYED GL&HH
What would you say is a better all around machine, the Nox 800 or the AT Max?
Great video!
Thank You!!
Nox 800
DirtFishing Thank you!
The at max much better
Everything I have been reading says recovery in trashy areas should be up around 7, you were super low. Have you tried it with a faster recovery? That should separate eve better!!
I will give it a try the next time I get out. Thanks.
If you had to pick just one detector, out of all the detectors you used and tested, Analog and digital alike, which detector would you keep as your own? , I been watching your past video's and that fisher F5 not only looks good seems to be good as well.
Probably the equinox 800. It works good and is waterproof.
DirtFishing how deep can it go
@@Wanous-hv7zo In my soil probably 9" on a dime
WATCHED IT TWICE
HELLO DIRTFISHING ARE THE VDI NUMBERS THE SAME ON TARGETS IN PARK,FIELD AND BEACH BECAUSE BEACH MODE VDI NUMBERS ARE CLOSER THE SAME AS PARK. AND ON YOU TUBE I WAS WATCHING SOMEONE IN A FOOTBALL FIELD IN PARK MODE.IF THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 THEN WHY DO THEY HAVE PARK AND FIELD ?

Where did you get the curved type spatula digger you used in this video? I liked it but can't seem to find one?
I was just about to ask the same question. Looks like a handy tool for digging plugs.
Yes digging tool looks nice. Anyone know where to buy one?
imagine what the 6 inch coil could do in a trashy park like that?
I would like to get one but I dont know of anyone with them in stock.
DirtFishing I know they aren't available yet but they would be great in this situation. IF I ever get a Nox I'll get that 6 inch coil.
What's the digger that you use? It looks much easier than what I'm using.
It is a predator Raptor model 31c
Thank you.
Go the nox !!
1:50 look up an to your right
Lol, that was bad
Are these machines always this noisy or is it just because it's a trashy park?
It's all the trash targets
@@DirtFishing fixing to buy me one
@@cgame-bg6kz I dont know were you are going to get it from but check with JMT Metal detectors and Showme treasure. Tell them dirtfishing sent you and they will give you a good deal.
I know a local shop here in NC that has a couple. Thanks, what kind of good deal are we talking?
Bill how does this compare with your cz3
To me they have about the same depth and accurate target ID. The EQ. has more features and can be adjusted a lot more.
6 inch coil would have been better here
What number did you set the break at for good targets?
Zone 1 is -9 to 0 Zone 2 is 1-11 zone 3 is 12-13, zone 4 is 14-18, zone 5 is 19-40 I set zone 2 and 4 to a lower frequency and zones 3 and 5 to a higher one.
One way to set up if you still dig other numbers. Why wouldn't you just reject all but area for nickels and dime or penny up and set to fifty tones. This is like the E Trac trashy coin pattern. Just wondering what you think about that pattern? Thanks
You can do that and I have ran it that way. I didnt use 50 tones though. I will try that next. Yes it would be the same idea as the trashy park pattern and make for some quieter detecting for sure.
What do you think is better at finding silver etrac or v3i im thinking about getting an etrac
Owned them both, and of those two detectors I'd go for the Etrac if silver was my goal.
Since you asked about the Etrac or V3i I would say they are both capable but for some reason the Etrac sure seems to like it.....;o) I would take an Etrac.
I use the v31 its awsome don't get me wrong kinda want to use both
Thank you for the advice
which garrett pinpointer are you using?
Garrett pro pointer AT
The VDI numbers seem awfully low, compared to the fisher f75; which hits zinc at around 60. BTW, nice videos.
Yes they are low compared to some others.
Just got my 800 and am new to detecting. Do u only suggest turning off iron when in trashy areas or when it is ideal for that?
Since you said you were new to detecting I would disc out the iron until you get a good feel for the detector. If you are mainly coin hunting I would disc out the iron. relic hunting you could listen to it but in real trashy areas it can get overwhelming.
Does it show depth? Thanks for the video
Not when you hit pinpoint.There is a depth guage on the right side of the display.
Stop comparing witch is better the at max or equinox 800,it's up to you which one you decide ,to be honest equinox 800 is not easy to set up for the beginners, at max is coin relics machine why use are garrett pinpointer if you think or machine crap get your own equinox 800 pinpointer
Thank you for taking the time to post this. Could you please comment of any plus minuses you notice versus the Etrac. Or please shoot me an email.
It is lighter than than the Etrac, it has more tone options, it is waterproof, cheaper, more programs, faster. Cons, it does not have the FE and CO numbers, no sunray probe, not much in the way of coil selection, yet. No option for auto sensitivity. Both seem to have around the same depth.
If the trash is found between 13 and 21 why keep diggin those numbers. The keepers are all over 21 except gold. Why not take the machine to a non trashy old property and show us how it does without the trash. Im not interested in pull tabs and clad. However I have yet to see anyone with a nox dig a beer cap. Not a twist off, a hard beer cap. Im wondering why.
bluesdigger 66 he said right in the beginning that he was asked to demonstrate the Equinox in a trashy park. That's what he did here.
I dont really have any old property to take it to. Most of my detecting is limited to public parks and schools. I have dug some some rusty beer caps. They hit about where a nickel does. 12-13. Sometimes they have a little iron sound sometimes not.
bluesdigger 66 my T2 can knockout bottle caps ;-)
niloc drof If you perceive my comments to be rude you might wanna change your panties. Or grow up and stop being so sensitive. I was asking a valid question. Detectorists who may be interested in the nox have seen lots of videos of all the crappy signals already. I do appreciate the effort and I appologize if I came across as rude...lol
what that tool called, that your using to dig?
It is a gasket scraper. you can get them are harbor freight or an auto parts store.
thanks dirtfishing
if you dug and refilled holes like that in this area, they'd fine you for destruction of city property.
I actually thought he was being way too careful by using a freaking screwdriver/garden scoop 🤣 Over here no one seems to give a shit as long its not their private home unless u have their permission. When I hunt I use a landscaping edge cutter to make large squares, and usually do my best to put everything back the way it was, but it does leave a few dirt marks. Considering this video was made it February in a few weeks in march the grass would have came out like nothing happen anyway. The only place where I think I would get fined for doing this would be beside a government building and thats a whole different story..
Nice video. Enjoyed watching. I am wanting to add the Nox 600 to my current collection, so your info was very helpful. I'm leaning towards just the 600 over the 800. Thoughts on that? Liked and subbed, can I get return sub? I would appreciate your input on my 600 choice. Thanks. GL & HH
Digging with a gasket scraper?
Yea
Gasket scrapper with the edges rounded in a pedestal grinder work great. Use a quarter, trace it on the gasket scrapper and round them off. Stole the concept from Bill and Mowerdog 😉
Scrape it til you make it digger!
Time to save up your clad and buy some new shoes.
Can't this thing rule out all that trash for $800 something it should .
I'm looking to get one but I don't want trash I can get that at the dump.
trash is part of metal detecting ...probably not the hobby for you
Cookinitmax if you don’t dig trash signals, you will miss a lot of good targets. Pull tabs and gold both ring 13s
he is not using the horse shoe button which would show him its trash hes showing you the vdi numbers of good targets and trash thats all
If you want a machine that tells you exactly what your target is your gonna have to wait. And you may need a loan for it. I think Part of the fun of this game is being a detective and the unknown. If we all knew what it was the good stuff would be gone in short order. The person who works hard to understand signals and setups will dig. And they will be rewarded.
☝Stop with the low id numbers,.. go only for 30+ go for silver and buy a 5 or 6" coil especially for trashy fields. - sorry for my English I am dutch -
About the only thing that come in 30 and above would be quarters or half dollars. If you want to buy me a small coil I will take you up on that.....;o)
small coils arent even on the market yet and you miss gold with your method
