4khz on Equinox 800 When to use and Why to use .

[treasureguy56]

I have been using the Equinox 800 for years with no issues but I am still uncertain about the when and why to use the 4khz option . Im sure many of you have used it successfully can any of you give me some tips as to the whys and what nots with this particular frequency .

Thankyou for any help at all

Never, keep it in multi

Here’s advice from person who knows a lot about Equniox ops.
Yes 4 kHz can have benefits.
You can see this by doing a few tests yourself.
Using 4 kHz can help with select digging in sites with lot of lower conductive junk looking for higher conductors.
Places like around concessions stands etc.
Multi I.Q park 1, 2 or field 1, 2 won’t keep up in all scenarios.

Also note. Look at the beach programs, they can help here too. On milder ground vs park 1.
I even did a video few minutes ago showing the potential benefits of running lower freq single freq ops vs Mulit freq on Equinox and the Manticore. Will be up for viewing shortly, for those interested.

4K was specifically designed for deep large targets for use in meddle east. Brass artifacts and such. Less sensitive on very small or thin targets, and low conductors. Do some tests on what you’re looking for.

The lower the frequency, the deeper the signal penetrates, but it’s less sensitive to tiny or low-conductive targets (like small gold). The higher the frequency, the shallower it goes, but it’s more sensitive to small or fine targets.

Basically, 4 kHz punches deep and ignores small trash like foil or tiny bits of aluminum — great when you want fewer signals and are after big, deep finds.

Hey tnsharpshooter , I do appreciate the video . There have been several instances when all I received was a barely audible high tone whisper or what I call a " warble " tone mixed in with other debre sounds and I was rewarded with a coin or solid target . Thanks for takin the time to put together that video . There are certain sites that Im going to use that extra frequence on after I've used the multi functions just to see if it helps me recover more good targets .

You are welcome.
Happy detecting.
