Ice, ice baby - too cold! :lol: Summer isnt over, and the temps have heated back up so I once again abandoned the dirt in favor of the beach. I found this fairly early in hunt and hoped for more but this was the only goody today. It's marked 14K! I hope the ice is real. I'm going to have...

I though I had this info, but cannot locate it. does anyone know the TID reading on Equinox for a civil war buckle? thanks

I came from three years of hunting with the AT Pro and many hours on other mid-ranged price detectors. I now have about 30 hours on the Equinox 800 and on any given day after a hunt I am about ready to sell the 800 and buy another AT Pro. But I find myself out there 2-3 days later hunting with...

Amazon sales of at max vs equinox 600 and 800 Here are some interesting stats. Keep in mind these only represent a fraction of the metal detector sales since most come through dealers outside of Amazon. As an amazon seller I have access to tools to show unit sales of most amazon items for...

Here is my air test on the Equinox 800 comparing the 11 inch stock coil to the 6” coil. Did a factory reset and set sensitivity to 21, recovery speed to 6. Iron bias of 6. Setup and methods: I set the coils on an all plastic child’s picnic table to eliminate any metal. Swept the table to...

Ok, I only have one criticism of the Garrett AT Pro. I loved the machine, but really had problems with the water proof coil connector when changing coils. No it never leaked, but it was a real task to get those darn pins lined up so you would not bend them before you screwed the conector in. Ear...

I want to pass on this advice from other more experienced users on this or other forums with Equinox sub forums about learning the Equinox 800. One gentleman said just put some hours just hunting in the standard preset modes that resembles your hunting patterns. eg, park1,2, field1, 2 etc...

Normally I don't hunt this trashy park on the weekend because it is slammed with people and absolutely no parking available. However I just could not wait till Monday to test the 6" coil from Minelab. So I circled the parking lot for about 5 min and got a parking place and started hunting. I...

I have mentioned this 111 page book titled "The Minelab Equinox Series - From Beginner to Advanced" in some replies to other Equinox related posts. Here I will give you my take on the book. First about me. I have used the great AT Pro for about three years and have been metal detecting since...

has anyone else notice the Equinox wireless head phones have a deeper bass response and does not report the higher pitched tones accurately? It might just be me, with bad hearing in one ear. But when I use my iPhone ear buds on the 800 the high pitched tones come in sounding like high pitched...

How long did it take you in an estimate of hours did it take you to find your first civil war bullet? Or any other civil war relic? I am using an Nox 800 and have adjusted my tone breaks to make bullets ring out loud and clear. How much research do you do for areas near civil war battle...

I use a free apple app called Commander Compass on my iPhone. When I researching some areas that looks promising, I use google maps to get a detailed look and then historic aerial to look back in time to see aerial photos or old topo maps to locate old home sites that have been demolished. On...

I hunt in the park and field modes 90% of the time and the rest beach at a large inland lake. I don't hunt for gold nuggets. I have never adjusted the threshold setting. Amy I missing something here that I should know about changing the threshhold setting in park and field modes?

Just dug a 1 foot trench and then in the trench wall drove stakes in about 2" at the 6" depth and 12" depth parallel to the surface and place my targets in these slots. My backyard in the trees for the test trench has about 6" of sandy soil and then solid red clay down lower. I Can hit all my...

In the Equinox manual they talk about coke in England as being something like buried old charcoal or old fire pits. Well does that apply to us in the US? Is it something I should learn about and be concerned? thanks

I am using the field 2 setting and my civil war bullets ring up 16-18. Unfortunately ring pulls and square tabs seem to love the 16 Target ID. I put down three civil war three ringers of 3 different caliber on a clear patch of ground. I then put in another clear patch some of my pull and square...

Will Minelab roll out a fix for depth reading problem? What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbJvwb7hopY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OaAP3lA0P0

I know lots of people here will get a new detector and keep the old ones for different reasons. I am a one detector man since when I get a new detector I have to sell my old one to help with the cost of the new one. But the real cost of a new detector is the time you must put in learning the...

has anyone read The Minelab Equinox: “From Beginner to Advanced” by Clive James Clynick? is it worth the purchase price ? I don't need book with general metal detecting info for 80% of the book and 20% on the Equinox.
