Minelab Equinox Micro Session #8: I know its a little late in the year for a beach setup video but one of my subscribers is heading to the beach in a couple of weeks and I thought this video would come in handy. If you are thinking about taking your Equinox to the beach this video will help you setup your Nox 800 for the beach in about 5 minutes. Let me know if you hunt the beach differently than I do. We are all here to learn and share our experiences so please leave a comment and especially if you do something completely different than what I show in the video. Thanks for watching!

That's a great video, thanks. I'll also dig anything because sometimes those bottle cap numbers are something else or there's just a bottle cap on top of something good. Just last month I found 5 coins (about $13 in my country's currency) in a hole the size of a fist and there was also a few bottle caps and pull taps and I was getting those numbers first, so you never know

Thanks Scot, That is good info. I've learned an awful lot about the Equinox 800 from watching your channel. The no drama part is good too. I think I live nearby you. Just on the other side of Gettysburg. If you'd be interested in getting together to metal detect a park or something let me know. If your not I won't take it amiss. Take care buddy.

👍👍👍, out here in CA where I live the local beaches don't have too much mineralization, run my 800 @... Recovery 5 (or 6, if I got a lot of ground to cover and want to just bank real estate) ground tracking on, sensitivity 22-23, all metal on, although you get close to houses or Rvs with wifi hot spots might bump down to 18-20 to get rid of chatter. I'm still learning only had this machine bout 2 years but love info videos like this👍🇺🇸

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Rob for the comment. Sounds like you are dialed in out there. I would be careful with the ground tracking though. Sometimes the time it takes for the machine to compensate for the ground under the coil has the potential to take longer than a swing but the likely hood of losing something is very low IMO. If it works for you don't change it. I don't use tracking over here on the east coast.

I typically don't change much I just use Beach 1 or 2. I drop my Iron Bias down to no higher than 4 I usually stay at 2. Drop recovery speed down to 4 but 5 is ok.

@banjomanjms 2 жыл бұрын

will a quarter which rings up to a 29 on the nox 800 on land ring up the same on the beach in beach mode? also, can you give some info on gold rings on the beach what that might ring up on the nox? love you videoes....

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

Yes a quarter will ring up the same. As far as the gold rings go you really need to dig everything in the junk range. Gold rings will ring up similar to a pull tab or in that range but they will sound different. Depending on how much gold is in the ring you could dig gold in the single digits. Silver will fool you too. I helped a lady find 2 of her silver rings that rang up as a 2 on the VDI. They were very slim silver rings. You'll quickly figure it out, its pretty straight forward.

Hi.the settings for the equinox 600 it's the same like 800 ? Thank you 👍

@OldSkoolF 2 жыл бұрын

Just ran the Nox 800 at Lauderdale with these and other settings and did great on the beach, but in the water it had issues deeper than 4 inches. I also switched to the Nox 15" coil and it caused interference issues so I had to run reduced power... Busted out my old Excal 800 and instantly seemed to do better.. Idea's??? Also not 1 Nickle?

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

I'm surprised the Nox is known to work well on the beach and in the surf. Unless your beach has some black sand mixed in I'm not sure if I have anything to suggest.

I would probably turn it off until I was digging up a lot of junk, then I would start to incrementally increase it by 1. But ultimately the less filtering you can do the better.

That is documented in the manual but I think I did a video on Park but basically Park 1 is really better for coins while Park 2 is meant to hit harder on jewelry.
