equinox 800

mounted my 15" coil to my 800 and went to my very, very trashy park by the river to see what I could do with some deep coin hunting settings. Used Field 1, and my bins to just ring low tones and volume all signals below 23 and high 25 tone and high volume on 24 and up. Makes for a more...

Congratulations on your Purchase of the Equalnox 899 metal detector. Metal detecting is a fascinating and rewarding activity enjoyed by people all over the world. We have developed the 899 with the sensitivity needed to allow the user to politically correct discriminate between the noble and...

Went hunting last week at lake. Had my headphones connected with the water proof Minelab headphone connector. Was in chest high water for 1.5 hours. and yes the connector was snugly screwed in. Plus I have never dropped or banged my 800 so don't know how water could have gotten in the display...

Hey all! I am brand new to this forum after detecting for ~2 years on and off. I just graduated college this past spring and have started my full time job as a biochemist. I typically spend my weekends at the beach (Wildwood NJ) metal detecting the shore for treasures :cool3: . I just...

Took my Nox 800 and the 15" coil for a spin on my good permission. It is a relative low trash site. Not real happy with the 15" for my purposes. 1) it is heavy and even with my Detector pro harness it is not much fun for me to swing. 2) it seem rather chatty compared to the 11" stock coil using...

tnsharpshooter has a good video about the Deus and Nox 800 tones on the differences between some junk items and coins. https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=271821 This tread is just about the Nox 800 portion at the end of the video. yes, in 5 tone it is difficult if not...

9:08 pm 3/12 I viewed a list of users on line and those that I recognized as frequent posters I checked their profile to determine if they owned an Equinox 800. out of 12 that I recognized as frequent posters 7 owned 800's according to their profiles. what does this tell me? Either a lot of...

First hunt with Nox 800 using my new 15 inch coil at a public soccer field. Field 2, sens 19, 50 tone, recovery speed 4. Noise canceled and ground balanced. Note this well hunted soccer field was almost a 100% iron free environment. (and many thanks to the forum members who alerted us to the 4...

Hey guys, haven't shared any hunts in a long time.. but this is my second best hunt in 12 years of detecting. 4 Gold rings, including a 24k! This hunt only lasted 2 hours because of the tropical heat in the middle of the day. I wanted to keep going but I started getting dizzy and had the...

will be taking my Equinox to areas of a major CW action that I have permission to hunt. I have 3 years experience on the AT Pro, and now have an Equinox 800. (Sold the AT Pro). I have about 30 hours of hunting experience in trashy parks on the 800 and I am comfortable with adjusting the settings...

A noob question from a noob. When using pinpointing mode with the Equinox stock coil, is there a sweet spot? For a shallow target I can easily find it with a pinpointer or a coin probe. But not for deep targets. I try to do the sweep, move 90 degrees, sweep again technique, but either I am...

I have my Equinox 800 so one assigned tone break is 16-19 for civil war bullets. but a large old style pull tab rings up a solid 16. so is there any other way to overcome this problem or do I just have to dig all 16 TID's. john

I heard the 800 was pretty good, but golly having to dig all those deep deep silver signals!

This is a park that I go to once a week just to get exercise with my AT Pro. This is the king of trashy parks with the ground around the picnic tables just littered with foil, pull tabs and deeper down old rusty nails. Usually I just avoid these areas and hunt the volley ball court and tot lot...

I had been looking at the Equinox 800 for the past two weeks in the forums and on youtube. I was convinced it was the detector for me. But i was very disappointed on the 2-3 month delay everyone was quoting. I called a large dealer who I buy things from and he quoted 3-4 months. But then my...

I received the nox 800 today. it came with wireless headphones and the WM-08 transmitting module. which has the better latency speed, the bluetooth headphones or the WM-08? I wonder why they were included in the box? Seems like I don't need them unless i am missing something. To my ears the...

So I've been hunting this sandy bottom fresh water beach and have found several coins, a nice little emerald silver ring and about a 1,000 pull tabs! Seriously... I have never seen so many tabs! :shock: The numbers jump around a bit, but I usually scoop thinking I may miss something aaaaand it's...
