Those little coils definitely have their place! Thanks for watching! HH!

Thanks for watching Chris!

Thanks man! And thanks again for the coil! I can't wait till cooler weather arrives so that I can get out to some of my good spots and try this coil out. HH Dewayne

Thanks for watching bud!

Thanks TPG! HH Dewayne

It's a killer!

Thanks Shayne! I think this little 6" coil is gonna remain on my Equinox permanently.

Thanks for watching bud! HH Dewayne

Thanks for watching Tim! HH Dewayne

Thanks and thanks for watching bud! HH Dewayne

Good luck with your new coil! I absolutely love using mine. Thanks for watching and happy hunting.

Thanks Ben. So far I’ve only had a chance to play around with the small coil in my yard but I’m already impressed with what I’ve seen. Been detecting this yard steady for nearly a decade with various detectors yet I’ve still been able to snipe some targets with the 6” coil that I had missed. Can’t wait to get it out to some of my good sites.

Thanks Seth! Thanks for the tip too! I think I'm just going to leave the small coil on my Nox and make it my dedicated iron/trash sifting machine. HH Dewayne

Thanks and thanks for watching! :) Dewayne

Yeah it probably would change things, I don't doubt that a bit. This is just a quick comparison.. A more in depth test would tell a lot more about them for sure. HH Dewayne

Thanks Lance. HH Dewayne

Thanks for watching Steve!

Thank you! I subbed you as well. :)

Thank you Metal Pirate Girl! HH

Thanks Cain! HH Dewayne

Hey Rick! Congrats on the new detector! I also used an XLT and AT-Pro for a while before getting an Equinox. A bit of a learning curve coming from those machines but not too bad. Learning the difference between iron targets and good targets was my first major hurdle to overcome with my Equinox. Here's what I can tell you: Don't get carried away with the iron bias setting. Iron Bias setting is a trade off. Turning it up will make iron targets break up a little more, but it also makes good targets that are near iron break up. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of Nox's strengths which is its ability to pick out good targets from thick iron. I never go higher than 2 on my IB setting. The trick to limiting the amount of iron you dig with this detector is tone repeatability. When you get a questionable tone, wiggle your coil over the target and pay close attention to how well it repeats. Iron targets will be hit or miss and the location of the target may seem to move around slightly. A good non-ferrous target will repeat every time and the signal will remain in the same location beneath the coil as long as you sweep it consistently. Even if it only hits in one direction, it should still repeat as long as the swing angle remains the same. Once you master this, a light bulb will go off in your head, and you'll start digging out those good targets in the trashy locations that you've hunted with other detectors in the past. Other than that, I’d suggest starting out with a 5 tone program. 50 tones can be sensory overload for someone who is new to using the detector. Put some hours on the machine and everything will start to click. Good luck man! Thanks for watching and commenting! HH Dewayne

.0i also have the xlt spectrum which they dont make anymore everytime it goes down $250 everytime but its worth it to me.Also mx7 and now the equinox 800 because of all weather proof and water proof whats next?cant be better than the equinox 800

Skol Detector thanks! Good luck with your new coil.

Thanks!

@@MetalDetectingNWGA I’ve got an equinox 800 and the standard 11 coil. Just put on the 6 and will try it out tomorrow. I’m in northern Virginia and have taken it out a few times. Found an old large cent. Unsure of the date. Then found what appears to be an old car radiator at about 1.5 feet down, right in the same vicinity. Looking forward towards trying out the 6 tomorrow, same place and there’s a creek I might try out the gold setting. I’m definitely a novice and just enjoy the outdoors. Thanks again for the vid.

@@carljohnson8732 I think you’ll find that 6” coil is downright amazing for hunting trashy spots. Good luck my friend!

I used a V3i for several years. Great machine. HH Dewayne

I’m waiting for a new flagship model from them, it’s TIME!!!

Scott Taylor I agree. Whites is way overdue for a new flagship.

Thanks Jersey! Yessir, I have the update installed. I noticed it definitely improves detection of big silver coins on edge. Can't wait for cool weather to arrive so that I can get out to some of my good sites to try this coil! Thanks for watching and HH! Dewayne

MrTruth1253 I like to ground balance when I go hunting. Around here it seems to stay between 35-55 for the most part. I do the comparisons with it set at 0 because I’ve noticed that a lot of users seem to just run it at the default zero..

Thanks Van. Yeah man those white aphid things suck! I don’t remember seeing them until recently (last couple of years). Thanks for watching buddy!

I leave the 6" coil on the Nox full time too. I love it! Yep thats with the new firmware installed.

I felt the same way when I first got my Equinox. I'd say give it a little time. It does get better and easier to use. Put at least 50 hours on the machine before you decide to send it back. It really is a great detector but like most others, takes a bit of time to master. I'm no expert with it, but would be happy to help with any questions you may have. HH Dewayne

@@MetalDetectingNWGA thanks for the reply. It just seems like the coil is too big for the trashy areas i hunt. With all the amazing reviews, i hope i warm up to it.

Dick Kyanka in my opinion one of the Nox’s biggest strengths is how well it separates even with the stock coil. I do like the little 6” coil though. What type of hunting do you primarily do? What type of locations?

@@MetalDetectingNWGA parks, old pre-ww2 houses mostly around Canton/Ball Ground/woodstock. I took it out this afternoon and dug a few more targets. Im just used to knowing exactly when i have a target on my tesoros, this unit is so chattery. Do you suggest that i do the firmware update?

Yessir, I’d definitely do the update right away. It fixes an issue of how the detector responds to big silver coins on edge. I demonstrated the problem in one of my previous videos. You’ll learn the Nox’s language with time. I felt the same way at first. I think most folks do. But if you hang in there and put in the time, I think you’ll find that it really is a great detector. For now, I’d suggest simplifying things by discing out all but the ID range of the most desirable targets you hope to find. As you get more experience, you can open up to accept more targets. Also, I’d suggest starting in park 2 with 5 tones vs 50 tones. IMHO 50 tones can be a bit overwhelming when hunting a trashy area. Set the tone breaks however you like. I’d put iron bias at about 2 or 3 for a while to help weed out some of the falsing iron. Again, once you get a feel for the machine you can lower it a bit. A slightly lower recovery speed of 5 or so will make the detector sound off with a longer tone on good targets. Makes it easier to distinguish good targets from random chirps. A recovery speed of 5 is still very fast compared to most other detectors. One more thing that’ll help pick out the good targets from the iron: Only dig repeatable signals. Even if it only hits in one direction, it should still be repeatable every single time provided your sweep speed and coil location remains the same. Those random chirps and falsing wont be consistent like a good target. Good luck to you! HH Dewayne

@@MetalDetectingNWGA thanks for yours advice

@@MetalDetectingNWGA yes the 11 inch is better on the beach found a PD950 ring with 24 tiny diamonds half way around the ring PD is for Palladium higher than gold its in the platinum family

Sounds like a great find George!

@@georgesocci6818 hi George did you ever have that ring appraised? Sounds like it could be worth a fair amount! Great find!!

Thanks bud! Its a Deanos cover. Got it off of eBay. Same cover as the one shown in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdV_ephltaqWimQ.html&ab_channel=MiTreasureHunter

The thing is tiny. Looks more like a 5 incher but it’s 6.

Hey JJ. I've owned an AT-Pro and I think its a good machine. Lots of people do very well with it, but I prefer the Equinox for a couple of reasons. The ability to run multiple frequencies and SMF makes the detector a lot more versatile IMHO. I also like the ability to adjust the tones, tone bins and volume of each tone on the Nox 800. HH Dewayne

Thank you so much for the info decisions decisions lol 😂

@@jjdiggins422 You're welcome. Good luck with whichever you choose.

I had an F75 for a while. It was a solid performer but a little too chatty for my taste. A lot of my relic hunting friends used to swear by them though.

I think the biggest reason so many people are making a big deal about the Nox is bang for the buck. It checks off a lot of things folks are looking for out of a detector, and at a decent price when compared to other detectors with similar capabilities. Simultaneous multi-frequency, waterproof, fast, lightweight, updatable & reasonably priced = winner. I still prefer my CTX 3030 for coin shooting most of the time, but the Equinox has definitely earned a place in my arsenal. Its great for hunting thick iron.

@@MetalDetectingNWGA fair enough i was really thinking of upgrading to the nox from my at pro but i like my pro to much and do really well with it hear in the uk, think im just going to stick with what i know, theres no point fixing something that isnt broken as thy say 👍

I agree. The ATpro is a good machine too. HH Dewayne

@@jmddetecting5503 there is also the equinox 600 for less bucks plus the iron button which is the horse shoe button saves you from digging trash.The xlt spectrum also saves you from digging trash.Everytime my xlt specrum goes down $250 everytime to fix it its worth it my first it does a great job.but not weather proof.mx7 is another great detector 18kt gold wedding band.The only time i didnt buy from Whites because of the mine lab equinox 800 its great

Eh, I also own an AT-pro and prefer the Nox. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

My hunting buddy had a AT pro bought. No and sold the pro shortly after. Says he'll never go back. Loves the Nox. I have a Etrac and have also used his Nox and seen his finds and it's performance. I'm getting a Nox soon.

I owned an At pro, sold it got a nox 800, night and day.. At pro is a good machine, nox works better for me. Unless you have both don't knock the nox.

Anyone who makes this statement has never used the nox...which makes your claim BS...I own 4 AT pros ...and neither one are even compared to what the nox will do ..do yourself a favor and buy the nox and u will quit making uneducated posts

@@garrettgolden5414 I'm new at metal detecting. Ordered the equinox 800 last week with both coils. People seem to be married to their machines. Makes it hard for a beginner like me, especially when people talk bad about a machine they've never owned. I went with the Nox because I got the opinions of about 20 KZfaqrs lol. The consensus doesn't seem to lie.
