Exactly the video I was looking for! I’m going out for the first time tomorrow at dawn. Thanks for the informative video
Thanks for watching
I bought the diggin tool and pinpointed leather holder and the Excalibur shovel,but not the Merlin it was too high for my budget, I got a sir may. I love your videos on the noxs., I have an 800. Keep preaching on proper plugs and neatness my man. Very important for the hobby.
Awesome, I appreciate you watching Ray 😊
It’s a great detector I’m using mine in a seriously hard hit river spot by 3 800’s and in 3 hunts it’s like a new spot again 30 silver coins one 1721 Pistareen 2 halves and a bunch of dimes seated barbers mercs and a few Rosie’s and clad it’s better at separating Good example of plug cutting I see big time UA-cam guys making complete circles I’ve even stated this to them
Thanks Mark congratulations on the great finds
I have never used a metal detector - this lost me in the first 45 seconds. Not for beginners at all.
This is for beginners for the 900. If your buying at this range, it's understood you know the basics and are familiar with detecting.
Buy a simplex or a detecor from the Vanquish line. I personally started out with the vanquish 540. It's expensive but she's amazing. I would recommend the 540 for being Multi frequency over the simplex because rhe simplex is single frequency
@@3starperfectdeer233absolutely!
I imagine most people wouldn’t immediately begin with a top-of-the-range machine like this and so have the basic knowledge of the features and language from using other detectors. Example: myself :-) I cut my teeth on a $150 Go Find and now I’ve bought the $1500 equinox 900. I’m a beginner with this model but not with the hobby 👍🏻
The 900 is very beginner friendly with the preset programs.
Just focus on this detector and it's videos only and go hunt every time you can. You'll get it.
Im used to a f75. I got some learning to do.
This is going to be very good. Excellent Buffalo Nickle
Thanks for watching
Maybe for the way you detect, the numbers don't mean anything, but I've seen blokes call the piece before it
comes out of the using that number, and be right most of the time.
I enjoyed your video Larry thank you.
Thanks for watching
Hi i just now brought the Equinox 900 and i live in Crescent City ca were we have a lot of Black sand and i can't figure this Black sand out.
Hey thanks for your tutorial, its helpful to know how to noise cancel and how to set sensitivity. I do have one question though…..the 900 claims 5-6 meters but you said each little depth symbol represents only 2” depth, that math doesnt add up or am i looking at it the wrongway? Anyways thanks for the video!
Max depth depends on ground conditions, emi, coil size etc. Each bar represents 2"
Imo... I'd do a ground balance after the noise cancel also
Here your coming to the nwthc hunt. See ya there.
Yes I will be at the Minelab Booth
Hi mate, I’ve been using the 800 for just over 6 years now and I’m thinking of upgrading to the 900 or the manticore, but the manticore seems way to expensive for virtually the same results, so I’ll probably settle on the 900,
Seems everyone keeps saying it’s like the Nox 800 on steroids, I did notice you didn’t explain the auto tracking for a stable detecting session
I am not a fan of auto tracking. I'm afraid it will eli.inate good targets. Some people like it, I'm not one of them.
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting fair point, I was someone who was ground balancing every ten yards or so,
but I do understand your point
Good video and good advice, some MD leaves a lot of mess
Thank you
I've found a 26 is a beaver tail! A buffalo nickol---now I will have to dig those numbers! LOL
Yes that is why I don't rely on the VDI but rather the tones. You are missing good targets if you rely on the vdi
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting Just learning something new everyday thanks to you and others on the Tube. 71 and learning new things.
Might have read 90 if you are wearing a silver ring on that hand
Don't forget to ground balance☺️
It's not necessary unless in mineralized ground
I noticed you did a noise cancel, was wondering about your ground balance process? Thanks Steve
No need to ground balance unless you are in highly mineralized ground. Just keep it basic and simple
Was enjoying this video until you said that the vdi numbers shouldn’t be considered . So why do you have a modern day detector .
If you rely on the vdi to determine your dig you are missing good targets. It is a reference tool only and should not be trusted. Detect a deep target and as you dig closer to the target, many times you will see the vdi change. Give it a shot and you will see why I say the vdi should not be the determining factor.
Happy hunting
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting it’s just as much as a reference as the tones and on good detectors can be trusted.put together helps to determine good or bad targets.
Do a video with this machine in a trashy area or one with tons of nails or square nails, that’ll show that this machine isn’t as easy as they make it seem
On the contrary, this video was made at an 1870s ho.estead with lots of iron and tin. I pulled the nickel from among all that with only basic preset programs. When you learn the machine it is phenomenal in trashy ground.
In a trashy iron infested area no machine is gonna make it easy
Thats a beginners instructions? Clear as mud!
Thanks for watching
Exactly right depth and repeatable tone are key, forget the numbers 👍🏼
i started at beach 1. i live 3 miles from the beach. i have a 700. need to use it at night.
Hi Larry, I would enjoy watching you seed your yard with various coins at different depths and do a comparison with the 800 versus the 900. My thoughts are the 800 is every bit as good as the 900 back to back. Would be fun to see the comparison live action. Thanks for the videos and good luck Treasure hunting my friend!
I will work on something once the ground thaws out.
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting great, looking forward to it👍
@bobg1219 I’ve compared them both last weekends side by side, the 900 is over all from ergos and weight to performance and depth better than the 800. BUT some people may like the lower VDI scale on the 800 vs the 900’s because the 900 shows more numbers when the 800 doesn’t move around much
@@Stranger_Jarn thanks for the info
Sorry the 800 performance and stability Is nowhere near the 900. I live in Texas and my 900 performs better than my 800 at every corner as it should. The 900 is what the 800 should of been from the start. Updates will only make the 900 even more savage!!
Do you think it's worth upgrading from the Nox 800 to the Nox 900?
They are both great machines. The 900 has found me targets in areas I have hammered with the 800 and the 900 has some great features that the 800 doesn't have. It really boils down to how bad you want to upgrade and your budget. You can call Dan Willis at outlawmetaldetectors.com and tell him I sent you. He can give you the ins and outs.
Just asking Buster, do you have a flog on gold chains Land settings on the equinox 800.
I don't give specific settings as every situation is different depending on where you are hunting. I do have videos of how to set up fr depth and a video of how to set for trashy ground. These are fundamental videos but you will need to set according to your situation. ua-cam.com/play/PLjrtO2dCo3KHkjtqTrlcCWu4Q6OpFeyIL.html
Peoples yards rrrright 😆
Awesome Video !!! Just purchased a 900 can't wait to take it for a rip !!!!!!!!
Nice
Im new to detecting. What is the purpose of noise cancelling?
To eliminate outside electrical interference
I recently got one and it’s awful. It can barely hit a wheat penny at 2”. I have the worse case of buyers remorse. I’m glad I still have the good old simplex.
You have something set wrong then. Be sure your sensitivity is up. You might do a factory preset if you were adjusting the settings.
@@SodBustersMetalDetectingit was set at 28.
@@dave3897 that's generally too high. 25 or less as long as the detector is stable
When doing a set up vid, slow down and decide what you are doing, with what buttons on the machine. You know this and the rest of us don't. Think of a slow step by step. Think of teaching someone to drive a car, just throw them in the driver's seat with verbal instructions and hope for the best? Slow down and describe what buttons are pressed at what point to achieve what goal. You know this well, we don't, but want to learn, slow down.
Nice beginner intro video and intro to the Nox 900
Thank you 😊
Great learning video, awesome buf nickel,
Thanks for watching
Feel free to come joint the Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group, send me a message I have an idea.
The numbers on the VDI don’t tell you anything!?
I respectfully disagree there.
Ya I always recommend hunting by the tones
think it rang up 90 on your shoes
I don't have metal in my boots. Not sure why it rang up that way.
Just got mine last night.. its charging right now. Havent even turned it on yet
Nice!
So I did a quick test in my yard.. didn't do much of anything. Is it because I've cleaned the yard so well with my old detector?
@@19jody72 it's hard to say, I would have to be tgere and also know what your settings were and so on. Too many variables
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting yeah man.. I know it's a learning curve stepping up to these higher end machines.. old bounty hunter..turn it on and go...lol
Great video just received my 900
Awesome. Feel free to join the Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group
Great video!
Great info Larry. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
Thanks for vids.
Thanks for watching
Hi Larry I have a question I own a equinox 800 is it possible for Minelab to do a download for better separation?
The minelab has excellent separation what settings are you using
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting park 1 & park 2 mostly 1 and I’m using Andy Sabisch coin set up
@@stevenvaith99 what is your recovery speed
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting what do you suggest I use Larry we still have a lot of snow on the ground here in southern Minnesota
I think I’m running it at 5
