equinox

TNT gross has a good thread on the update. But is there any agreement on which update to use? I bought my 800 in March 2018 and was so confused with it I could really not tell any difference on the original firmware and the updated firmware which I now have. Now a year later, I feel that I...

Think about what processing power we have in our detectors like the XP Deus and Equinox 800. I would rather venture they have more power than the computer on Apollo 11 and the first IBM PC. Apollo 11 was landed on the moon using a computer that had 1,300 times less than the processing power of...

Re: equinox 800 I hate to keep asking dumb questions, but the level of frustration with my new Equinox 800 is growing with each passing day! I have had it about a month and have become fairly familiar with the functions, but when I try to input a program for relics, I seem to either get a...

Hi to all, a Coil is a TX anx RX antenna used by the circuits of a metal detector So need to know if a CTX 3030 Coil for example a 6" Coil could be used to an Equinox metal detector, ok frequencies are not all the same maybe. How about the connector of the two metal detectors? Thanks for an...

Ok, I have had my 800 since March 2018. Most of the things I initially did not like about it were things that were due to my ignorance and lack of knowledge on how to use a hot sophisticated Minelab detector. So now what don't I like about it? What could be improved. Hmmmm? Well really not...

I have made this statement before and I will make it again. Since March 2018 I have learned more about metal detecting in general with the Equinox 800 than all my detecting of and on since 1988. And more importantly I am still learning. The Nox forces you to learn more if you want to use the...

I have read where several Equinox owners with the 15 x 12 inch coil reporting over all not so good results with the coil use in the default settings. A number posters have said you must use recovery speeds 5 or below and 4 seems to be the best. Why is that? Just the nature of larger coils?

I have a nox 800 and looking to add another machine to complement the 800. Thinking about the XP Deus or CTX 3030. I mostly hunt parks, home sites and Civil War battlefield areas outside of Kennesaw Mountain Park in North Atlanta. It seems to me that the XP Deus is a great relic hunter and...

I don't look at the Stories and Picture Finds sub-forum much. Actually hardly ever because I quite jealous of all the goodies that everyone else but me seem to find. Yes I am happy for you guys, but it is a constant reminder of my lack of finds. Finally I have something to post. In between days...

Here is an update to my review of Clive Clynick’s The Minelab Equinox: “An Advanced Guide”. I think this book goes deeper into the 600 and certainly the 800 than his first Equinox book. This is because the 800 has some more useful options over the 600. The other reason Clive has more time on...

just received the book today. will read it over the holidays and report back. Will compare to his first book "From Beginner to Advanced" to see how much of an overlap there is between the books.

Ok, for those of you who don’t know me, I hunt in North Metro Atlanta. So let me take a minute of your time and describe the environment I am hunting. Most of our parks were only built in 1980’s so finding silver in them is near impossible. Actually, I have never found silver in a park in North...

My wife makes 99.9% of our social plans. The one event I planned is the International Association of Equinox Users Group that will meet this winter in Nova Scotia on December 31st. I have been selected to present my paper titled “The Five Year Analysis of Pull Tabs and Pop Tops found in Public...

I read somewhere that the first update for the Equinox degraded the 6" inch coil effectiveness but help on the depth bar problem. can anybody add their knowledge to this issue?

I have owned the 800 since March of this year with the intention of starting to do more civil war relic and old home site hunting. I was under the impression before I purchased my 800 that it was really good at picking through junk targets that masked coins, 3 ringers etc. But maybe people were...

Since someone brought up the Equinox 1000, I might as well reveal that I have had the Equinoxia 1000 for the past two weeks. It is simply too good to be true. It is manufactured by a start up in China called Weefooyou, Ltd. In the Jilin province in the North Korean free enterprise zone. It is...

Was talking to a Kellyco salesman today and they have the 800's in stock. He said they occasionally run out, but have a steady stream of orders with Minelab keeping a pretty good supply on hand. So is this just Minelab ramping up production? or the demands for the 800 slowing down. I guess...

I can charge my iPhone from the car USB port if the engine is running. what about the Equinox? Will it charge from the car USB port? anyone tried it? will it damage the Nox charging from the car?

I read that a the 15" coil for the equinox is coming. Anyone got any ideas on what to expect? When I got my NEL Thunder it really didn't do that much for my AT Pro. It was real sensitive to being bumped by any small scrub brush. But to be fair to NEL I didn't hunt many open fields so it...

I like to get out in the open fields and dig the easy obvious signals just as much as the next guy, but I also enjoy the challenge of sifting through thick iron & trash trying to pick out every last detectable good target. From what I've seen the 6" coil on the Equinox is perfect for this task...
