For one whole month I was going to do the ultimate test much better than the arrogant know it all guys on Youtube. I called one of them "The Flying Monte Nail Board Test". First place a mercury dime under a 2x12 with one hundred nails sticking up. Then proceed to try to unmask the merc while...

This is directed at newbies and experienced detectorists considering the Equinox 800. A little about me. Many years of using metal detectors going back to the late 1980's. Six years ago use the Garrett AT Pro for 3 years. Bought the Nox 800 in March 2018 in the very early part of the product...

This has probably been posted before or variations. But it is worth repeating. On your Equinox increase your threshold so you can hear it. It will tell you the amount of iron and other ferrous or non-ferrous targets under your coil. For instance I was hunting a trail along the river recently...

You have basically four books on the Equinox metal detector to choose from. 1) The Minelab Equinox 600 800 Metal Detector Hand book by Andy Sabisch $23.95 - 176 pages 2) Minelab The Equinox Series from Beginner to Advanced by Clive Clynik $19.95 - 111 pages 3) The Minelab Equinox: “an Advanced...

This was on their web site: Coiltek NOX COILS Since we launched the new NOX coils just 4 weeks ago on the 3rd of March 2021, we have received 1000’s orders for the product, and these orders are continuing to grow each day. We have never before experienced such demand for a Coiltek... Goes to...

I heard about her in the Fall of 2017 and was dying to meet her. So, in the Spring of 2018 I had saved up enough money to be able to meet her personally. When she arrived she was so good looking and even kind of sexy. Now prior to meeting Miss Equi, I had flirted with Miss Fisher, Miss Garrett...

Hi all, Some of you know me from tnet, the OCMD, Seaside NJ or Venice beach Ca. or Md Freestate club. With an excal in hand I look like everyone else at the beach but if you saw a guy playing drums on a large set of plastic buckets in the past 20 yrs that was me. I'm the skinny white guy. I...

I have a Vanq 540 and Nox 800. Use the nox 800 99% of the time and have the 540 for backup because it has the same tones and TID range as the 800 and that makes life easy for me. The 540 is a great beginner's machine and quite good. It is much more stable and quieter than the 800. Plus not...

Today hunting a volley ball court all i was getting on startup before noise cancel and ground balance was static and the 800 would not even detect a surface key or my hesche shovel. Did a noise cancel and ground balance and reduced sensitivity to 19 and no effect, still static. More like radio...

I am hunting civil war areas in metro Atlanta and from north Atlanta up to Chattanooga, TN along the I-75 route. Economic growth in Georgia since the Civil War has caused a lot of good Civil War hunting sites to be come polluted with other metal trash since 1864. I suspect this is true of PA...

This is for newbies to the hobby considering the purchase of the Equinox 600 or 800 metal detector and newbies who have purchased the 600 or 800. I have read three good books on the Equinox. Clive Clynick's 3 books on the Equinox and Andy Sasbisch's single book on the Equinox. Clive Clynick’s...

ok, first off I am not trying to start a war here. I am just interested in sales figures of AT Pro vs Equinox. Well that information is not to be had because both companies are private or don't report those figures. But we can infer the popularity of each by then members of different facebook...

It is a park in Atlanta that was the scene of a huge battle at Peachtree Creek on July 20, 1964. Millions of bullets were fired and dropped on that day. You think I could find at least one. Have hunted that park and the creeks off and on for the past two years. Using my 800 so that is no excuse...

Hello all, I've been a low level MD hobbyist for a few years - taking my kids out 'treasure hunting,' and such. I live in a good area now, and am thinking of getting more serious. Have enough to afford an Equinox 800, and am wondering how big of an upgrade over my 5 year old White's Coinmaster...

I have owned my 800 since March 2018 and Vanquish 2 weeks. I had heard the TID’s were the same so I got out my extensive collection of junk and some CW bullets and silver coins to do some comparative air tests. I was in the relic mode on the Vanquish 540 and the Field 2 mode on the Nox 800...

Was updating my TID values on my Equinox 800 and Vanquish 540 with air test. 800 was in field 2 and 540 was in relic mode. For the most part they are identical on my test of junk, pull tabs, square tabs, pennies, bottle caps, screw caps. On good targets civil war bullets, silver coins they...

Just received yesterday my Vanquish 540. To give you a reference point I got my Equinox 800 in March 2018 and had an AT Pro for 3 years. AT Pro was/is a good machine. The Vanquish 540 should have been introduced by Garrett. Maybe the upcoming Apex will be the one to finally answer the Equinox...

Just received Clive's book Skill Building with the Minelab Equinox Series Metal Detectors. I have already read and learned from his two previous books: The Minelab Equinox: “From Beginner to Advanced” The Minelab Equinox: “An Advanced Guide” Just got started on it tonight. Just came back from...

Tony Eisenhower has a good video on the Equinox 800. It is a good visual on why you should dig everything if you are hunting rings. you can skip to the end of the video and see the placement of rings and junk on his grid of TID numbers for the 800. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsgspduZA_8

I thougth I might share my experience with the Equinox 800. A little about me. I started metal detecting with the Fisher original gold bug in 1987 hunting gold nuggets in North Georgia. I read the manual once and started using it. The gold bug was a good gold hunting machine. Several years...
