though I had some problem with sea water It also th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Brilliant tutorial. I've been watching a few just lately as I just bought the Nox800. This is by far the best tutorial and just what I was hoping to find. I feel a bit more confident about going on a dig tomorrow near Sherborne, UK Cheers
Thank. Your tutorial is very clear and constructive. One of the best video tutorials I have viewed on Utube so thank you for your time.
Thank you very much for the awesome comment Eddy. I just wanted to make an easier video for people to understand and I never expected it to pass over 50,000 plays. I hope it has helped everyone understand their machine better.
Thanks so much, I bought mine going on 4 months ago and was just using the factory settings. I'm totally new to detecting. Now that I've got to know better what its capable of I was wanting to adjust my settings some. I'm the typical old guy that hates to read instructions and I learn better by someone showing me what to do. You covered everything well and I will try my new settings tomorrow to see how it goes. I'm very happy with this machine and what I've been finding with it. Thanks again and take care. Also subbed.
Thank you for watching my video, this is a very fun machine to learn and it’s also nice to have the 6 inch coil when in trashy areas.
Best of luck on learning your machine!
So I re watched this video and learned a lot more than I did the first time. (like 2 months ago)👍. You did a great walk through on the 800. I appreciate you posting this.
I appreciate you rewatching my video.
I’m really glad that it helped you with the equinox, I tried my best to explain the machine as I could.
DUDE THANKS 😊 I JUST ORDER E800 AND WITH YOUR TUTORIAL I HAVE THE CONFIDENCE I NEED IT, I APRECIATE IT,
GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you for watching Nelson. Glad the video helped you and good luck on your adventures
@@TennesseeAdventures hi which machine would you recommend? For farm Rocky places?
I'm getting my feet wet today..thanks to your video. I got it for Christmas. .all charged up today!!! Thanks!
I appreciate the comment and I hope you enjoy your new machine 👍🏻
Great video. Best one I have seen yet. I just purchased my 800 a few weeks ago and you have been a great help for getting me up and going. I have watched this at least 4 times. thanks, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much James for watching my video. I’m really glad that it helped you out, go out and find that gold!

Love my equinox 800 I have only used it for the beach so far. Thanks for the tips.
I appreciate you stopping by to watch. Thank you
Just bought a used 800 and was kinda dreading the learning curve. I've used Whites for 20 yrs, but knew I needed to upgrade. This is such a great tutorial vid! I can apply my knowledge of how a detector works and sounds and have the 800 work more like I'm used to. Thanks so much!
Thank you for stopping by to leave a comment and I hope you enjoy your new machine. Happy hunting’s 🤟🏻
Thanks for the video man. Only video I found that goes in depth with settings, as a beginner and completely new to the equinox, this was perfect. I appreciate ya and subscribed immediately! Thanks again
Zach G Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video helped you out. It took me a bit to learn the machine and it’s still my favorite one. I have all 3 coils now and they are great.
Very well done. Thank you I just purchased this machine and had a little trouble understanding the directions. This video helped me a lot. Looking forward to your next video.

Thank you for watching and glad the video helped you understand the machine easier.
THANK YOU very informative I just purchased that machine and it’s my first time using a metal detector ,I will be referring to this video several times to review what you show ,again thanks great video
I appreciate you stopping by to check out my video. Hope you enjoy the machine! Happy hunting’s.
i've owned the tesoro compadre and AT pro (about 8 years and really mastered the ATP), just got the NOX yesterday. I'm feeling pretty over whelmed by the amount of info the NOX is sending my way out in the field. Super glad it wasn't my first detector. Seems like a machine that takes a while to master.
i have watched alot of vids on this and this one tops them all thanks for all your advice
Thank you for watching James, I’m glad that this video helped you out. Appreciate the comment!
Thanks for the info. I’m currently running an ATPro and will be upgrading to the ATMax or the Nox 800. From what I’m finding out the 800 is in the lead.
I would go with the 800, so many more options to chose from. Thanks for watching the video.
Very nice walkthrough of the Nox. Thank you. Subscribed :)
Thank you so much for the kind words Andrew. Hope the walk through helped you out.
I'm coming back to this after a few sessions in the field my friend, your explanations are good, my understanding of this major piece of Kit in the field has to be with some basic settings, Then i'm going to play around, cheers, I won the 800 in a Raffle for 25 Bucks, so i'm well pleased
Thank you for the awesome comment and congrats on winning your machine for that price. Talk about a heck of a deal. Have fun with it and good luck on your adventures 👌🏻👍🏻
😳 25 Bucks, 😒 I paid full price for mine 😬.
Congratulations and happy hunting bud 👍🍻🇳🇿.
( I can give you twice what you paid 😃 )
Instablaster...
Thanks for this video, you did a great job covering this machine. I just bought the 800 a few weeks ago and still learning it and getting use to it. I also started a new TH-cam channel on metal detecting. Keep up the good work, I subscribed to you.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my channel. I will check yours out as well and I hope you enjoy your metal detector that you got. Glad I was able to help you out with some info
Just subscribed. Your channel looks pretty cool
Thank you Joshua ✌🏻
Outstanding review and I will be sharing as your explanation is the best I’ve found so far
(fully understandable)
Brilliant and exactly how to use.
Happy hunting Sir.
Kind regards from 🏴
Thank you for commenting and I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. I hope that it helped you out on understanding your machine better.
Thank you for the video. It was super helpful!
Thank you for watching 🤟🏻
Well made video. Informative and succinct. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Roy 👍🏻
Great video sir. Thank you
greg secord
Thanks for watching Greg
Thank You, top explains🙌
WOW! Best informational I have seen on the 800 to date! I have been reluctant to use the machine because I presumed it could not surpass my go to, the CTX. I am a 62 year old gal that can still swing the 3030 for hours but the lightness of the NOX was calling my name. I struggle with technology so your video helped a lot. I detect a lot of mining ghost towns and focus and coins and relics so if you have any settings that could help I would greatly appreciate them! Thank, Peggy
Thanks for watching Peggy.
I usually run mine on park 1 or 2
Recovery speed at 4 or 5
Sensitivity at 22/23
Iron bias at 2
Auto ground balance.
Auto notice cancel and I also change all my settings to a high tone when I’m looking for coins
Hope that helps you out.
Well done, and thanks.
Thank you so much Walter.
Thank you for the video
Very informative 👏
Thank you Paul.
Hi Matt, thanks for the information it was very helpful! ATB Amy
Hope this video was able to help you understand your machine a lot better.
Omg awesome video bro ty for sharing and teaching us tips and tricks
Thank you for watching the video.
Have a great night
By far the best tutorial video on the Equinox 800 💯. Awesome video. Although I normally do beach hunts, your video still helped me figure out the proper settings for my nox, which I’ve owned for 2+ years and counting never found gold rings but, Thanks to your video I adjusted my settings and I found a woman’s gold and diamond ring both engagement and wedding band sets, 2 14k gold necklaces and 1Mens gold diamond ring, all in one beach hunt. Thank you so much. Keep up the great videos. All the best to you. 🤛🏼
That’s awesome, I’m glad the video helped you out and you were able to get yourself some gold. Have fun out there and keep on hunting.
Tennessee Adventures Thank you so much. Found My 5th ring last night, after watching ur vid a couple days ago, found so much. If possible can you do best settings for salt water hunting. I don’t think the settings would be much different from park, just depending on the mineral content on the beach. But hey, you did an awesome job either way. I’m stoked with my finds. Best of luck to you.
Mate, that was the best review ive seen 🙌🏻!! Thnx for the information verry helpfull.
Appreciate the comment and I hope it helped you out 🤟🏻👍🏻
Great stuff very informative video many thanks lad 👍🇮🇪
Thank you for watching my friend!

Appreciate the comment.
Very good and very informative, i am very new to the world of Metal detecting and found this video most helpful thank you very much
Thank you for watching Raymond. Happy hunting’s 🤟🏻
I just found your channel.You have a good voice for making videos.I just got the Equinox 800,and I have subscribed.
Thank you very much for all the comments and support
Fantastic video. I am looking to purchase a new metal detector and this was a great resource to allow me to check it out.
I hope you enjoy your new detector and thank you for stopping by to watch my video.
Great video thank you. And thank you for not including the bubble gum disco music in the background that so many think they have to do. I've had my equinox 800 for about 6 months now and love it. I do both gold nugget and treasure hunting with mine living in the south west. I mainly use the 6" coil for everything and hunt most everything in Gold1. I haven't gotten into the point yet of customizing my settings I want to know what I'm doing first. Thanks again!
I appreciate you stopping by to leave an awesome comment. I’m really glad that the video helped you in learning your machine a lot more 😀✌🏻
good stuff Buddy, hope the weather hold out some so you get out and hunt
Thank you Ed.
Me also.
The weather has been crap out here lately.
Nothing but rain, thunder and lightening
Great video...Thank You for helping
Thank you for watching and commenting

Great video! Thanks
Thank you very much 👌🏻👋🏻
Great filming😁😁
Thank you!
Thank you, I now know how to get the best out of my machine and understanding of it.
Watched many vids on this but none were very helpful, thanks for taking the time to show and explain and not rush thru, your vid has helped out HEAPS 👍.
🍻🇳🇿🎖.
Thanks for the awesome comment.
I’m very happy that it helped you out and it was easy to understand. Happy hunting’s
@@TennesseeAdventures educational excellence my friend 👌. I spent $ 1300.00 🇳🇿 on this machine and you were the only person who made sense on how to use it 👍.
The manufacturer has tuitions but ..... 💩 😳.
Yep. 👆.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me 🍻🇳🇿.

Thank you very much. Take care of yourself and stay blessed.
Very helpful video thanks
Thanks for watching Bob. Glad it helped you out
Well Done man, very helpful video for folks.
Thank you for watching. I know this is one of your main machines I’ve seen you use a lot in your videos.
Great video. New sub here! Just got my 800 last night. Upgraded from my Garrett AT Pro. Excited to try it out today!!
Thank you for watching and joining my channel. I really hope you like your equinox 800
Really helpful video 👍
Thank you for watching
I've had my 800 for 11 months and this season I use it on a daily basis. Actually I've never noticed changing modes affects what is notched out.
You have yourself a really good machine, I never noticed it either until I started messing around with it more
very informative,,, thank you!!
Thank you very much.
Amazing master,, i like this video
Thank you for commenting.
Great information
Thanks
Thanks for watching
The Best explanation 👍
Thank you Robert
Hey matt I enjoy watching your videos I see you have a nice collection of rings
Yes I’m up to 89 now. I appreciate you watching my channel!
Good info. Debating if I should get one.
It’s a a heck of machine, it’s the one I use the most and compared to all other metal detectors this one is so much better.
Thanks for watching
Well done, quick but comprehensive.
Thank you for watching
Great video mate
Thank you for watching ✌🏻👋🏻
Big ups bro 👊🏻💥
Thanks for watching
Honestly if your not going to gold prospect and don't mind going out to get your own headphones the Nox 600 is basically the same machine. The Nox 800 has more recovery options but the max recovery is identical just different increments on both machines. If you have the money get the Nox 800. If you want to save some money or you are only using for beach hunting get the Nox 600. Also both have advanced options but the 800 you get more advanced settings and a user profile.
Thanks for the input, I’m happy with the Equinox 800 choice I made. It’s a great machine.
Just purchased can’t wait to start hunting. Hopefully I’m not over my head. I’m definitely an old guy. Wanting to see chase my dreams of finding gold. My younger brother just bought acres in Colorado said there’s gold on his land. Possibly we will find gold and have a blast
Congrats on purchasing your detector, I hope that you find plenty of gold out there where you will be the equinox will definitely locate it for you. Best machine out on the market
Tennessee Adventures grew up prospecting with a garret . You know how life throws curve balls haven’t done anything for twenty years. Last fall I was digging in an area and found a gold coin, this is where it gets crazy we were at a friends decided to play a little paint ball. After playing for three hrs lost the coin somewhere on his property I’m going to find it 😂. We’ve looked with cheep detectors I actually have some really nice pictures of coin plus I really don’t know if it’s actually gold ,it was found around an area where more coins have been found. I’ve had some coin experts say it looks like a Spanish 1615 approximately. What sucks I texted a picture to my wife when I got home no coin. Personally everyone thinks I had it going to sell and sail on 😂. I wished they were right. I’m going to find that dam coin or die trying 😂 either way I’m fired up about hunting.
I really have enjoyed my Equinox 600! I finally found some $25 Rain resistant APTX-Low Latency EARBUDS for summertime that actually give the + symbol in the upper right.
The 600 will let you change most of the advanced settings, like iron bias, just not as fine-tuned as the 800. You cannot change the pitch of the threshold tone (which I don't use threshold), and there is no gold mode (I do not prospect), and no 20/40 khz single frequencies (I have a Deus with the HF coil for that), the backlight is either on or off on the 600, and I cannot save a profile. The WM08 module costs over $200 if bought separately, so if you need that, the 800 is a no-brainer.
The main options I miss are the ability to fine-tune recovery speed (600 only has 1, 2, or 3) and Iron Bias (600 only has 0, 1, 2, or 3).
I think Multi-IQ is the same for both detectors (which 99% of the time I am in Park2 or Field2). Thanks for a great video, and I hope to hunt with you guys one day!
Nick Haas
That’s pretty Awesome, glad to hear that you are liking your equinox 600.
It’s a heck of a machine and probably one of my favorite ones that i have ever used.
Thanks for watching!
@@TennesseeAdventures Minelab really upped the ante with that Multi-IQ technology, I just wonder what is coming with the Minelab Vanquish?
My next machine is going to be a pulse machine though, because I want to hit DIV before I get too old.
Nick Haas
Thank you again for your first comment, you sure did put a lot of detailed information in there and that will help some of my viewers when they read comments. I also do look forward to the vanquish, I’m sure it’s going to be a very cool machine and I want to find a gold coin in my life sometime LOL that’s my bucket lister
WHAT EARBUDES ARE YOU USING???
Great job explaining the settings Matt, just a question what do you find the best setting on the iron bias for your stile of detecting, i find if I'm in 3 i hear those faint silver's sitting next to iron, I'd like to know what you think as you have used the Nox as much as i do.
I personably run it on 2 most of the time and sometimes 0.
I’m slowly still getting used to how the iron bias works and no doubt about it, but the Equinox is my favorite machine.
Thanks for watching
Very cool video, informative, I am from East TN near Sevier Co
Nice to hear that you’re close. Appreciate you stopping in here to leave a comment. I’m out here by the Athens area
Awesome video man, I will be buying one soon \m/
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Hope you enjoy your machine when you get out with it.
@@TennesseeAdventures Thanks Bro \m/
Just got an 800. Was using a v3i and an AT Pro. safe to say this 800 is a different language lol thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching love life metal detecting
Tennessee Adventures thank you for helping fellow detectorists. It shows that you really care about getting people excited to use the Nox! Keep it up! Happy Hunting!
Great job on the video Matt
Thanks for watching Greg, hope it helped you out some.
@@TennesseeAdventures Yep, it did. Made some nice finds this weekend at some very hunted old spots of mine.
Wow somebody who actually knows what he is talking about. Great video best video on equinox 800
Thank you very much for the comment. Hope the video helped you understand the machine better!
Great video. I wish Minelab gave us an audible tone cycle after setting the pitch and/or target tone as it visually runs through the discrimination scale
That would be pretty neat.
Maybe in their upcoming machines they may add that.
Thanks for watching
Dude...I have the XP orx...and was debating on getting the 800.. your video made it so clear...the orx doesn't have half the settings the 800 does.. especially notching out things I don't want...I hunt mostly trashy parks... The 800 with the six inch coil would be great for me...thanks so much...krogerdude
You’re very welcome thank you for stopping by and watching my video. Hope it helped you out my friend.
Thank you!
You’re very welcome.
@@TennesseeAdventures the only video i found that helped me with everything i thought it would bdd months till i got the understanding if the advanced features. Took me 2 days !😁 thanks God bless
Get mone in 2days can't wait 😁👍thx 4the info
Awesome you should use my link and discount when you get one. Info is in my description on the video
the best video for a setup. Thank you sir??
Thanks for watching and I hope it helped you understand the machine better.
I went to the Simpson Fite Cemetery, I found a lot of metal...junk metal. Lol. Quite a few graves there, pretty old 1800s and such. I need one of those metal detectors.
Sounds like you had an interesting adventure. Happy huntings
@@TennesseeAdventures ty
Sod Busters has a cool way of saving money on the screen protectors. Cut the English version out and stick it to the machine, and when you need another protector, just cut off the modes that are in another language and stick the replacement protector on the machine.
Appreciate the tip 🤟🏻✌🏻
Happy hunting’s and thank you for watching my video.
Tree Trimmer82 sent me new friend here and let’s stay connected
Thank you Gregory, I hope you enjoy the channel
Thanks for the tutorial. So far the most precise and simple one yet. Very impressed and happy with it
The Nox so far. Do you have a list of target ID numbers you can post for gold, silver, coins, etc?
Liked and subbed 👍🏼
I appreciate you leaving me a nice comment and I hope that this video really gave you a better understanding of how to use the machine. I have a video on my TH-cam that shows ID numbers for different items on the Equinox.
I’m thinking about making another one soon when I have more gold.
Thanks for stopping by!
Tennessee Adventures cool man thanks! I’ll check it out. I scanned my girlfriend’s 14k ring today and came up a 12.
I just won a Equinox 800 so wanted to see how it works. I hope that it's easy to use.
Congratulations Eddie, hope you enjoy it.
You'll love it Eddie. I bought mine a month ago and am loving it.
Hey Matt LOL you're on the Russian screen saver,
I'm on Japanese LOL ..
Just started watching bud getting back to watch lol
I need to order more English ones 😂
@@TennesseeAdventures cutoff the bottom of the foreign ones and leave the english strip on your machine. (hint: its in the manual)
@@TennesseeAdventures neat hack I seen was when you get the original screen protector, go ahead and cut off the English label from the bottom of the protector & apply it to the screen, then apply the protector to the screen, then when you need a new protector, you remove the worn out protector & leave the words, then take unused protector & cut off the foreign words and apply just the protector to the screen
When you buy the machine it comes with all the screen protectors cut the bottom off of the one for the language of your preference stick it on then the clear plastic piece which is leftover becomes what you replace
Thank you for the tip on the screen covers.
When you tell people the squigly line is auto ground balance, you should also explain the pro's and con's of that feature. It's not something everyone would want to use. You can end up missing some good targets. Many experienced folks using this machine do not use it for this reason, so at least mention that it might or might not be a good choice to have it on.
I still am trying to figure out ground balance myself. Sometimes I use it and sometimes I zero it out. I appreciate the helpful information and the comment. Happy huntings to you ✌🏻
