Minelab Equinox - Is Recovery Speed Important?

Рет қаралды 5,977

Күн бұрын

In this video I talk about one of the most powerful features of the Minelab Equinox 600 and 800 - Recovery Speed. I'll talk about Target Masking, Target Density, and compare the 600 vs 800 when it comes to Recovery Speed settings. I've also included a short field test to highlight the differences between a slow and fast recovery speed in a trashy site!

Excellent explanation mate. In the UK on a field packed with everything. Celtic- Roman- Saxon - Medieval and a huge amount of iron. This is going to open the field right back up again. 👍

Glad you found it useful, and thanks for watching! I’d love to come to the UK for some detecting - an entirely different experience for me that’s for sure! Good luck and happy hunting!

Mesmo com a bobina menorzinha, ainda havia necessidade de uma velocidade de recuperação alta. 👏 Prlo vídeo

It was an extremely trashy location, so only a very small coil with high recovery speed made it possible to isolate targets.

Hello Steve, just found your channel on KZfaq recommend to me.. Just subbed 👍 I've been using the Nox for over 4 years now and I noticed when you were describing the settings you were in park one and on the demo video you were in field 1, I started at the beginning always in park 1 but over time I've grown to never move from field 1 on every hunt, it seems to be hitting targets differently to park 1... I've pushed it at faster speed recovery but I've found that having it set on recovery 5 works best for me, I'm not saying it's the same for everyone just my opinion I've experienced for my style of arm swing speed.. I do most of my detecting in iner Melbourne parks and the amount of trash is just overwhelming, what I do seems to work for me .. But in saying all that I will take your advice and give it a go, Just incase I've been doing it wrong, even if it means one more silver pop's up I'm sold 😁👍

Thanks for your comments! I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with different settings, and I also used to hunt in Park 1 pretty much all the time. Recently I’ve been using Field 1 with a higher recovery speed because I’ve been hunting a lot of trashy dump sites out in the bush, and it’s definitely working for me. I think the most important thing is to understand the machine and adjust the settings that work best for your particular situation, soil conditions, coil size etc. I’m constantly learning new things about the Equinox, and I’m sure you are too! Happy hunting!

I prefer field 1 too. I always seem to find more and it seems to block out more trash

Steve, thank you for making this informative video. I have always thought that a slower recovery speed of around 3 would help me see deeper targets; end at slow is always better. I'll never know what I have missed by using this mindset? I will also try using the threshold feature. I remember how important it was when swinging my Excalibur II! I would like to see your video on the importance and examples of utilizing the threshold if you have one? You are a wealth of information and incredibly well spoken! Thank you! Richard Nalli

Thanks very much for your feedback, and kind words. I really appreciate it! I think we’re all guilty of being a little stuck in our old ways sometimes - I know I am. It’s always good to try new settings, but the key I think is knowing WHEN to try them. Good luck with your detecting!

The slower recovery speed the deeper the single goes to.

@coilsandcoinsdetecting Жыл бұрын

This can be the case, depending on soil type and mineralisation etc. It’s a balance between depth and target separation.

Just bought the 6" coil for better separation near an 18th century house. What are your thoughts on recovery speed compared to the stock coil? Also what are the benefits of Field 1 compared to Park 1 in hunting near a location like this? Thanks Steve!

@coilsandcoinsdetecting 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Scott, I'd definitely be setting recovery speed to at least 6 or 7, and swinging fairly slowly. Recovery speed is the same for both coils, however you will probably feel like it's better with the 6" because it's much easier to separate targets. I'd probably suggest Field 1 over Park 1 in this kind of environment, as it tends to be better for smaller objects like coins, and the frequency bias is set more towards higher conductors like silver, and less towards iron... Good luck!

O legend possui um nível de 10, será que é mais rápido do que o equinox 800?

@coilsandcoinsdetecting 2 ай бұрын

I’m really not sure - I’ve not compared them as I don’t have access to the Legend.

Thoughts of effect of recovery speed on coil size?

@coilsandcoinsdetecting 2 жыл бұрын

My thoughts on this would be that the smaller the coil size, the more responsive and the more accurate the target separation would be in high target density areas, with a higher recovery speed. This is based purely on the physical coil size, as with a large coil there would be more targets under the coil at the one time so it would be more difficult for the machine to process and report each one, as compared to a smaller coil…

c-am complicat,pentru un incepator de 1 zi.Mi-ar place sa faci un clip direct afara cind incepi detectarea,prima oara.Care sunt PRIMII pași cind esti cu detectorul pe sol,(eu am munti si ape curgatoare).Care ar fii setarile pentru acest sol(apă curgatoare),la nox 800?
