Settings for Equinox 600 ??

bubbaron · Mar 20, 2018

Hi to all,
I would like some information for settings for coin shooting and dirt digging. My 600 will be delivered today and I would like some input from all you good experienced guys as to what settings do I want to start. I know I need to learn the machine but some good advice will certainly shorten the process. We are getting snow here this afternoon so when I get the 600 I will charge it and play with it for readings and whatever other settings I need to know. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just got mine but too much snow to use...
I recommend reading the following thread from tnsharpshooter:

I think he does enough testing and shows alot of ID numbers for you to get a head start.

Thanks for the post with the information. UPS wasn't here yet with my 600 and no snow yet either.

Park 2 is the best and deepest program imo! Recovery speed 2 iron bias zero.

I have to ask why Recovery speed 2? Is this for depth or something else. Still trying to get my head around the recovery speed.

Recovery speed is confusing when comparing nox 600/800. The max recovery speed on the 600 is 3 which corresponds to 6 on the 800. Guys are hitting deep targets with the 800 on even higher recovery speeds. I see no need to lower the recovery speed below 3 on the nox 600 or 6 or 7 on the 800. I was hitting a 9” quarter in my test bed with recovery on 3 on my nox 600. Using 1 or 2 did little to improve signal and will only hurt performance in trash/mineralized ground imo

In my very limited experience with mine, for general use I would reccomend park 2, recovery 3, iron bias 0, 50 tones, sensitivity 22. Dig everything above 10 if not in a super trashy area.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help and input. The UPS guy just delivered my Nox 600 about an hour ago 5:45 PM. I am getting somewhere between 4 - 6" of snow tomorrow so I will put the machine together and charge it so I can play. I cleaned up my clads today from the last 3 hunts. It totaled $13.45 not counting zinc pennies. Sure wish we were not getting this snow. The hunting conditions just improved a week ago with no snow and no frozen ground. Oh well, I can play with my new toy and watch it snow !!
Again, thank-you all for your experienced advice. Remember I am a newbe and am only doing this great hobby since Sept. 2017. I am saving all my clads till the end on the year and then I will give you the grand total. Not one silver in this last bunch.

I concur. Great post. This is all good info.

Some words of wisdom here.

Yes park 2 seems deeper for me too.
But field 2 actually can unmask and separate a tad better.

Meaning in pounded sites, even if park 2 has been used, field 2 might pull something.

Field 2 likes real thin finds too.
Relic hunters especially in polluted sites will love field 2 detect mode.
CW relic hunters, those smaller eagle cuff buttons, field 2 can sniff them out.

Also I will say this, I can't prove but highly suspect,,in higher mineral soil, field 2 better unmasker to get to a lot of the smaller, thinner stuff.

User might find field 2 runs a bit smoother in heavier iron vs park 2.

Just thought I would share.

Hope all good luck with their Noxs?
Not like you need it.
Cause it will hunt.
