I'm moving back to Reno, Nevada after living in the Philippines over 10 years.. After watching your vido's I have a Minelab Equinox 800.. Just making 78 years old, I decided to start going to the hills to look for gold and ghost towns. I figured after learning how to use it, I will go back to Oregon, where I'm from to visit family.... If your put groups together for field trips, I would be interested in coming up for one, to learn more on how to use my Detector... I have watch your video's and think I would enjoy going with a group... Thanks for your time.... Lee Jennie my email is leej4u@yahoo.com...
Hi, I found this very helpful and informative. I was struggling today with using my Equinox for the first time, so found this tutorial and it has given me more confidence to try again. I have come back to metal detecting after a 30 year break; machines have moved on a bit and not like the old machines which were basically just turn on and go! I have had numerous machines over the years and I found the best one for me was the Minelab Sovereign Elite which was great for beach work. Unfortunately, this Equinox 800 is a lot more sophisticated for me (I'm 75 years old). A big thanks from the UK, you're great!
By far the best tutorials available. Highly recommend. Start to finish, you will learn it all hands on here!!! Thanks for making these available Larry. 👍💯
Great video, I got my Equinox 800 about 4 months ago I haven't had much time to use it due to the extreme heat and working a lot, I was just in my backyard and was struggling to get the thing to keep quiet went on to your video and immediately rectified all problems, thanks for all the advice, you just got a new subscriber.
Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial. I just got my new detector today and I was playing around my backyard and almost immediately I found an old gold-plated belt buckle and about five minutes later I found a really nice silver spoon that dates back to the 1800's! So, on my first day I found silver and gold!
I received my NOX 800 on Friday. I wish they'd sent the full Owner's Manual with it. Reading it on my phone is a PITA and the same with my computer workstation. The Quickstart Guide is very barebones. Not a lot of info, but it will get you started. Your 'basic' and 'advanced' videos have been a tremendous help! Thank you, so very much. I'm sure there are volumes, yet to be learned. But, you have certainly given us 'newbies' a leg-up.
I just bought my first Minelab Equinox 800. I will pick it up on Thursday and I can't wait. I'm chomping at the bit so I'm watching your tutorial videos first.
I would like to make something perfectly clear to new users of the Equniox. You do not need to hold the power button down until you see FP on your screen.That is only for when you are changing any programs or settings back to the stock factory presets.Holding the power button down until FP is on the screen will un sync your previously sync'ed headphones causing you to have to sync your headphones every time you power on your detector.
I was going to write a comment asking how to turn it on normally and saw this. Thanks for letting us know about it. Um. I just realized I still don't know how to power it on normally. So, it's just press and release?
really have enjoyed you info on equinox 800 as i learned more in the last couple of days watching your program then i learned on my on the last 3 to 4 yrs. i can not believe how much better i hunt since i watched for beginners on the 800. great info.
Mate awesome tutorial! I’ve had my equinox about two weeks and was struggling to find a good tutorial and you have smashed it out of the park... your a champion, I’ve liked and subscribed keep up the good work cheers
Thank you for the kind words my friend, I am glad the video helped. I plan on doing a more advanced video on the nox at a later date, until then find some silver and gold. Congratulations on the new machine.
I agree !! Just purchased the Equinox 800 as my first detector. Trying to learn as much as possible about it and this tutorial was extremely helpful. This machine is very intimidating to start out with. But with this tutorial it shows just how easy and user friendly this machine really is! Definitely will be subscribing and following your tutorials! Thank you
Good video to show beginners basic operation. Instead of doing a factory reset at startup, you can just hold down the black detect/mode button on the left for 5 seconds until you see SP on the screen and reset the search mode you are using to factory defaults. The threshold tone does not help you detect small targets in any mode. Instead, it tells you if you are passing the coil over a discriminated/rejected target. The threshold tone will momentarily go silent or null over the rejected target. It is a good alternative instead of hunting with the horseshoe button depressed all of the time so that all metals including iron are accepted. The frequent iron low tones can get annoying. If I hear the threshold tone go silent in say Park 1 but I have what seem to be good numbers I can also quickly press the horseshoe button to double check for iron and decide to dig or not.
Thankyou .i just bought one yesterday. For the last 6 years i have beem using the garrett AT Pro. Great machine. However i have heard good thing re the 800. So it was time for a change. Thankyou for this video its going to help me get started. I have signed up so i look forward to many more videos. Many thanks Andy Australia
My wonderful wife wanted to learn how to metal detect, so I got her to view all of your beginners video s . It was brilliant, she has now overtaken me in finds. In addition my elder brother has viewed your videos and has purchased a 800Nox as well. Keep up the excellent work mate. Cheers .
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting I would like to know more about this equinox 800 and for that reason I'm watching your videos everytime, because many time ago I use used another detector brand and the last week I recibed my first equinox 800. I have studied with your videos about seting and another tips. Thanks for your videos. I'm sory, my English is not very good, but I'm sure that you are understanding me and I really enjoy watching and recibing your answers. Have a good day and blessing for you Mr.
Thanks Sod. I just ordered one of these machines 10 minutes before you came on with the lesson. I ordered with my wife's good graces. Can't wait. Again thank you.
Thank you, I just got an 800 in the mail today. I liked and subscribed. The one thing that I would like to mention is the power button. A short press of the Power button turns the detector on and off. A long press (5 seconds) restores the whole detector to factory settings. Without thinking, someone might turn it on with a long press every time and erase any of their personal settings. But this video is obviously titled Getting Started, just wanted to add that piece of information.
Good video for a guy like me. I just opened the EQ 800 box and since this is my first metal detector, I was clueless. You got me up and running. Thanks and I've subscribed.
Good afternoon. Got my Equinox 800, 3 days ago. I also purchased, THE EQUINOX SERIES HANDBOOK, by Andy Sabish (a week prior to receiving Equinox 800). Read it cover to cover. Now, I have incorporated your tutorials as, a watch and learn as I scroll through the book again. I must say, you have been extremely helpful. Thank you.
Great video! Every time you get a new machine, you have to rewire your brain too! The frequency number is the number of times a signal is transmitted into the ground per second...measured in Hertz 1000 Hertz = 1kHz I looked it up, Page 15 of the manual!
I ordered the equinox 800 a month ago, super frustrated when I started using it so I decided to TH-cam settings and such, changed my settings to the videos suggestions (huge huge mistake) and after that I could not for the life of me get it to the point where it was accurate and would hit something and go to dig and it would just disappear. Now I came across this video and found the factory reset I’m hoping that now I go out I can begin enjoying the detector now it’s settings are reset. Thank you even if it’s just the basics but thank you for the video!
Here are my videos on the Equinox. Check to see what version of software your detector has and if it is 3.0 that is probably the issue and recommend reverting to 2.0. There is a video about it in this play list. th-cam.com/play/PLjrtO2dCo3KHkjtqTrlcCWu4Q6OpFeyIL.html
Thank you. I watched this before buying an 800, and again after doing my first field trials with the machine. Thanks for an easy to follow, informative video.
Hi I have had my Nox 800 for just on a year and still haven't been out hunting but after watching your tutorial you have given me the confidence to have a go thanks
I sure appreciate this video. I have been on the fence about purchasing the 600 and constantly find myself thinking " I dont want to do all that just to detect". This made it seem less intimidating. I will be buying a 600 in two weeks.
You eliminated the fear I had, Im exaggerating a bit to express my feelings, purchasing this piece of equipment, not having any experience metal detecting ever in my life. Me, not having much technology experience or computer skill, your video helped me get through a lot of anxiety I had getting started. I just bought my Equinox a day ago and Im going out in the morning to have my first EVER taste of metal detecting in the Mojave desert. I couldn't have chosen a hotter day if I planned for a year but oh well, I do love living here and thank you for the informative video, sir, its much appreciated. Take care.
That's awesome! You will be fine, just take your time and be patient as you learn. Listen to the sounds and dig your targets and it will become second nature what the sounds are telling you. Good luck
I ordered my Nox 800 and should receive it in the next few days. Great tutorial, thanks for going through the details on how to set it up. I'm sure I'll be coming back here to verify and clarify. I liked & subscribed and will be watching your other videos on the Nox 800.
I just got mine a week ago. It was an upgrade from my Garrett at pro. First hunt with the equinox 800 yielded 10 coins and a silver ring. Awesome machine so far!
Great tutorial, clear concise and easy to understand. My Equinox 800 is due in Tuesday and after watching your video I'm pretty confident but I can get it up and running and start learning the detector. Thanks again good info good video.
Thank you, thank you thank you, I just bought one to take to my country Peru, and I did not know where to start, the manual is very complicated and you saved me a lot of time, didactic and to the point without much preamble
Just got mine in the Mail from my discussions with Mr. Willis. Very eager to head out and get going. I’m up in PA and live very close by some abandoned mining towns from the 1800’s. Can’t wait to see what I find!
Back into "Metal Detecting", went through quite a few videos because it's been.....don't laugh SodBuster....45 years ago. Love and enjoy your videos, awesome, presentation, it's like having a discussion about a hobby (Screen Protectors....aren't the Cool Guy!!!) I bought the MineLab 440....first....just for target "flagging", went on to buy the Equinox 800 & XP Deus last Monday 5/10th. The MineLab Vanquish series......let's say the 340, was probably what I was using a tech goes 45 years ago at 12 years of age. Digging up "Greatgrandpa's.....I'll say "WWII" yard :) all the coins from that era, even the metal penny's which BTW....don't target on the 440....you have to go to iron mode. Oops that's a double sweep.
Your presentation was one of the best ones that I have seen so far. Everything was clear and understandable. Thank you very much for sharing your skills and experience with us. Also, I will definitely subscribe to your channel.
You do got some good videos. Thanks for making them. I just bought my equinox yesterday and was at the GPAA here in Alabama. I pulled it out and after a few minutes I just put it back in the box until I could watch me a video. I’ve watched two of your videos and could take it out now and hunt. Not for gold yet but hint still the same. Yesterday it just confused me trying to hold hunt with it but I owned a xterra 705 a couple of years ago and just knew I need to learn at least a little bit about it before attempting more advanced hunting like gold right out of the box. You’ve helped me a lot. Thank you brother.
Thank you so much for putting out this informative video… This has helped me immensely I picked up my equinox 800 this weekend and was a little intimidated by all its settings and you definitely set me at ease I’m on my way to the park... wish me luck!!!
Awesome, glad to have you here. I have many tutorials on the Equinox. Feel free to join the Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well where I can answer questions for you. Happy hunting
I wanted to thank you for all of these tutorials for using the Equinox 800. They were a great help in getting started with the machine and full of helpful information to go back to as part of learning to hunt well with it. Thank you so much!
Hi Larry, my name is Allan Facey and I’m from Australia. I enjoyed your video and I think the Equinox 800 is just what I need. You see, I’ve been looking for a missing aircraft VH-MDX for the last twelve months. This aircraft went down over the Barrington Tops in 1981 with five people on board. I think it’s lying on the side of the mountain with a sixty degrees slope so with forty years of growth and decay I’m sure it is buried. The next time I go in I hope to purchase the Equinox 800 and take it with me. Thanks again Allan
Larry, gave my Garrett ACE 250 to my wife and I replaced it with the Mine lab 800. Very pleased to see your introduction on how to initially use the 800. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Stay safe!
What a brilliant, informative video. I got a new Nox 800 last week, and haven't even switched it on yet, but the amount of information on here is amazing. I'm going to save this video, and refer back to it, to help me get to know my beautiful Nox 800,, thank you very much again for this informative video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have had my machine for a few months now and have struggled to understand some of the settings. This was straight to the point easy to understand. Awesome job!
Really good tutorial. Nice to see you pointing out buttons and zooming in unlike a lot of others that do it so fast, you miss it! Subscribed and liked and will be keeping an eye out for other tutorials. I gt my 800 in next 2 days and looking forward to using it, many thanks
This was great, very informational and helpful thank you so much. Bought my equinox 800 two days ago, charged it and ready but wanted to learn a lot before I take it outside to even attempt detecting. Excited to start!
Great beginner tutorial. Helped me get started up and running. First time detecting and father suggested the 800 so the audio to go along with the explanations are geat.
Perhaps it's already been mentioned, but the gear wheel you mention several times is actually a universal icon symbol for the 'settings' menu. I have it on my iPad, Android phone, and PC.
Great video!i have had the NOX for awhile and still keep learning new things. It took a long time to extract myself from the CTX but after finding silver in iron infested areas which the 3030 couldn’t do I am a believer! I look forward to videos using the advance settings! Thanks, Peggy
Peggy, I want to thank you for watching, the Nox is definitely a great machine. Feel free to come join my Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook GROUP. Thanks again and I'm glad this was helpful.
Such good info. I also watched your assembly video of the Nox 800 when I got mine last week. It helped me get it together quick. I understand a lot of how it works except how to determine how deep a target is.
Thank Larry, just buy a Equinox 800 and you explain very well this detector ( computer lol ) , i will watch several times your video to have a good comprehension . You have a new subscriber!
Appreciate all of the valuable info presented here. It is difficult to hear you when outside but other than that lots of good stuff. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you just purchased it this week and watched your videos you make it sound simple and not mind blowing have been detecting for 40 years and can't wait to go back to the places I hunted years ago right now we are hitting civil war camps this week hope I do well.with the NOX
Awesome! I have many tutorials to help you learn the machine and you can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well if you want.
Great video. It helped me a lot in narrowing down a replacement to my 1977 Wilson-Neuman Daytona 1 that was top of the line machine in its day, and that gave me 30+ years of exceptional use.
Fantastic video, step by step instructions on each setting. I have decided on the the 800 over the 600 and from watching your video I think it will be easy to set up. I did talk to a factory rep recently and he advised it could be powered on and go hunt, but I do understand an adjustment for ground balance would be good even if you want to hunt this way. But with your settings I think the learning curve will be much easier. I look forward to getting the 800 and and learning while I hunt. Thanks for your great video !
I am glad to be of help. I have a link in the description of the video where you can get your detector and any other supplies you need. I have a more advanced video on the nox as well when you are ready. Tbanks for watching
Thanks for your fantastic tutorial. I am just getting started in this hobby and have been a bit intimidated with all the research I have been doing on which detector I would like to purchase. Your straight forward approach on how to use this machine has helped me decide that this is what I wish to buy. It's factory settings will be a great starting point for me to learn and advance from.
It is a great machine. You will find a link in the description of this video where you can purchase the equinox and all of your detecting needs as well. Feel free to holler with any questions.
ive had my equinox 800 a few months and ive been looking for some expert advice I can now say ive found it with you thanx for the tuition ive subscribed and liked looking forward to many more of your vidios
That's awesome Martin! I am working on an advanced tutorial on the 800 now. Thank you for the kind words and for the sub. Find a lot of treasure my friend.
I think you did a great job making this. I've been prospecting for years in the creeks and rivers here in the Northwest...always thought about a metal detector..but I knew technology was advancing leaps and bounds...so I waited..surprise!!!.my wife put this under the Christmas tree. This video is a confidence builder for a first-time beginner like me. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for all the info. Last time I was detecting was over 10 years ago with my Sovereign GT. My how things have changed...just got a Nox 800 and feel like a noob
Thanks so much for the advice. I just bought the Minelab Equinox 800 here in Adelaide South Australia and can’t wait to program my detector and try out some of your programming advice. Cheers Robert
It is a very simple machine to use, i have other videos about the Equinox as we and have more coming. Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon so you don't miss them. 😊
Awesome video. Easy to understand and follow along with. I just bought my machine a week ago and your video sorted it all out to get started. Thank you. I have subscribed!
Just bought my equinox 800 and went over your tutorial. Very well explained. Gonna try it out for the first time and you're tutorial well definitely make it easy for me to start using this detector. Cheers
VERY GOOD INFORMATIVE VIDEO MATE. I LIKE THE EQUINOX 800 AS ITS GOT THE MOST & WIDE SET OF SELECTABLE FREQUENCIES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. MORE THAN ANY OTHER DETECTOR MADE.IM GOING TO BUY ONE OR 2. THE 20-40KHZ IS GREAT FOR GOLD WHICH IS WHAT EVERYBODY HUNTS FOR HERE IN OZ.ITS EVERYWHERE HERE..THANK YOU LARRY OLD MATE & CHEERS

Subscribed.
Thank you Mike I appreciate the sub. We just need 1 big golden cache, that's all lol
Thanks for watching
Awesome thanks mate from Australia 🦘
I just bought my eqinox 800 I'm in Victoria, Australia great gold country, this has been a very informative video
Awesome, I would love to hear your results my friend. You can also find my Sod Busters Metal Detecting Group on Facebook. Good luck hunting
Hi I have had my Nox 800 for just on a year and still haven't been out hunting but after watching your tutorial you have given me the confidence to have a go thanks
You are the best salesman, thanks for the tips.
Lol I've never considered myself a salesman but I'm glad I was able to help 😉
I sure appreciate this video. I have been on the fence about purchasing the 600 and constantly find myself thinking " I dont want to do all that just to detect". This made it seem less intimidating.
I will be buying a 600 in two weeks.
You eliminated the fear I had, Im exaggerating a bit to express my feelings, purchasing this piece of equipment, not having any experience metal detecting ever in my life. Me, not having much technology experience or computer skill, your video helped me get through a lot of anxiety I had getting started. I just bought my Equinox a day ago and Im going out in the morning to have my first EVER taste of metal detecting in the Mojave desert. I couldn't have chosen a hotter day if I planned for a year but oh well, I do love living here and thank you for the informative video, sir, its much appreciated. Take care.
That's awesome! You will be fine, just take your time and be patient as you learn. Listen to the sounds and dig your targets and it will become second nature what the sounds are telling you. Good luck
illmsg77 lets us know what you find
I just purchased this machine and your tutorial is the best 'basic' operation overview I've seen so far. Since I'm a newbie, this was perfect.
Thank you, I have a more advanced tutorial that will be out on Thursday, be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon. Thanks for watching
I ordered my Nox 800 and should receive it in the next few days. Great tutorial, thanks for going through the details on how to set it up. I'm sure I'll be coming back here to verify and clarify. I liked & subscribed and will be watching your other videos on the Nox 800.
I just got mine a week ago. It was an upgrade from my Garrett at pro. First hunt with the equinox 800 yielded 10 coins and a silver ring. Awesome machine so far!
I think you will love it
Great tutorial, clear concise and easy to understand. My Equinox 800 is due in Tuesday and after watching your video I'm pretty confident but I can get it up and running and start learning the detector. Thanks again good info good video.
Awesome, I am glad it helped. I will be doing a more advanced one in the near future so be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon. Happy hunting
Thank you, thank you thank you, I just bought one to take to my country Peru, and I did not know where to start, the manual is very complicated and you saved me a lot of time, didactic and to the point without much preamble
I am glad I was able to help. Happy hunting
Just got mine in the Mail from my discussions with Mr. Willis. Very eager to head out and get going. I’m up in PA and live very close by some abandoned mining towns from the 1800’s. Can’t wait to see what I find!
Awesome! Good luck hunting
Back into "Metal Detecting", went through quite a few videos because it's been.....don't laugh SodBuster....45 years ago.
Love and enjoy your videos, awesome, presentation, it's like having a discussion about a hobby (Screen Protectors....aren't the Cool Guy!!!)
I bought the MineLab 440....first....just for target "flagging", went on to buy the Equinox 800 & XP Deus last Monday 5/10th.
The MineLab Vanquish series......let's say the 340, was probably what I was using a tech goes 45 years ago at 12 years of age.
Digging up "Greatgrandpa's.....I'll say "WWII" yard :) all the coins from that era, even the metal penny's which BTW....don't target on the 440....you have to go to iron mode.
Oops that's a double sweep.
Your presentation was one of the best ones that I have seen so far. Everything was clear and understandable. Thank you very much for sharing your skills and experience with us. Also, I will definitely subscribe to your channel.
Thank you Alex I appreciate that. Happy hunting 😊
You do got some good videos. Thanks for making them. I just bought my equinox yesterday and was at the GPAA here in Alabama. I pulled it out and after a few minutes I just put it back in the box until I could watch me a video. I’ve watched two of your videos and could take it out now and hunt. Not for gold yet but hint still the same.
Yesterday it just confused me trying to hold hunt with it but I owned a xterra 705 a couple of years ago and just knew I need to learn at least a little bit about it before attempting more advanced hunting like gold right out of the box.
You’ve helped me a lot. Thank you brother.
I have many equinox tutorials to help you learn. Thanks for watching and happy hunting
I have a Quest x5 but am about to pick a Equinox 800 and this was a perfect tutorial.
Contact Dan Willis at outlawmetaldetectors.com he will get you set up.
Thank you so much for putting out this informative video… This has helped me immensely I picked up my equinox 800 this weekend and was a little intimidated by all its settings and you definitely set me at ease I’m on my way to the park... wish me luck!!!
Awesome, I have more tutorials on the Equinox as well. Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon as I have more coming. Good luck hunting.

Thanks guys, I just got a 600. Appalachian History Detectives told me to come your way. New subscriber here.
Awesome, glad to have you here. I have many tutorials on the Equinox. Feel free to join the Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well where I can answer questions for you. Happy hunting
This video was the most simple and easy to understand video that I have watched. Thank you.
I wanted to thank you for all of these tutorials for using the Equinox 800. They were a great help in getting started with the machine and full of helpful information to go back to as part of learning to hunt well with it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well. Hope to see you there
Hi Larry, my name is Allan Facey and I’m from Australia. I enjoyed your video and I think the Equinox 800 is just what I need. You see, I’ve been looking for a missing aircraft VH-MDX for the last twelve months. This aircraft went down over the Barrington Tops in 1981 with five people on board. I think it’s lying on the side of the mountain with a sixty degrees slope so with forty years of growth and decay I’m sure it is buried. The next time I go in I hope to purchase the Equinox 800 and take it with me. Thanks again Allan
Very interesting. I hope you find it, the detector should scream once you get over it. Good luck and be safe.
Larry, gave my Garrett ACE 250 to my wife and I replaced it with the Mine lab 800. Very pleased to see your introduction on how to initially use the 800. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Stay safe!
Awesome! You will find more tutorials on the Equinox on my channel. Thanks for watching
I've watched several tutorials but this the best and easiest to understand . Thanks loads Larry
Thank you Bobby I hope it helps. I truly appreciate you watching.
What a brilliant, informative video. I got a new Nox 800 last week, and haven't even switched it on yet, but the amount of information on here is amazing. I'm going to save this video, and refer back to it, to help me get to know my beautiful Nox 800,, thank you very much again for this informative video.
Hello Robin, I have many tutorials on the Nox 800 be sure to subscribe and you will find all the info you need. Thanks for watching
This information is excellent, I'm a new owner, never used one before. This 800 seems like it will be allot of fun! Thanks
Any time. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group. I can help when you have questions
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have had my machine for a few months now and have struggled to understand some of the settings. This was straight to the point easy to understand. Awesome job!
Glad it helped. I have more tutorials on my channel
Really good tutorial. Nice to see you pointing out buttons and zooming in unlike a lot of others that do it so fast, you miss it! Subscribed and liked and will be keeping an eye out for other tutorials. I gt my 800 in next 2 days and looking forward to using it, many thanks
@user-rp7fw3dp9p thank you. I have many tutorials on the channel. Thanks for watching.
👍
This was great, very informational and helpful thank you so much. Bought my equinox 800 two days ago, charged it and ready but wanted to learn a lot before I take it outside to even attempt detecting. Excited to start!
Awesome thanks for watching and good luck
I just got my own for Christmas!
Coming from a vanquish 440 this video helped me a lot with figuring out what the heck is going on.
Thank you!
Very nice. I have more tutorials on my channel as well
I just got my equinox 800. Literally just unboxed it. Great video!!! I’m looking forward to getting out and using it.
Awesome, congratulations
Great basic simple presentation for a newbie.keep up the good work

@@russellmorgan3155 thanks for watching
Best Information on how to use my Nox 800. Thank you so much, I now have your TH-cam channel on my phone so I can refer back to it while detecting.
Thats awesome, if you're on Facebook you can find Sod Busters Metal Detecting group there also
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting , I'll add you to my Facebook page, lThanks
Great beginner tutorial. Helped me get started up and running. First time detecting and father suggested the 800 so the audio to go along with the explanations are geat.
Thank you and good luck hunting
Thanks for taking the time to explain the 800.Just got one!
Thats awesome, good luck hunting
Perhaps it's already been mentioned, but the gear wheel you mention several times is actually a universal icon symbol for the 'settings' menu. I have it on my iPad, Android phone, and PC.
Great video!i have had the NOX for awhile and still keep learning new things. It took a long time to extract myself from the CTX but after finding silver in iron infested areas which the 3030 couldn’t do I am a believer! I look forward to videos using the advance settings! Thanks, Peggy
Peggy, I want to thank you for watching, the Nox is definitely a great machine. Feel free to come join my Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook GROUP. Thanks again and I'm glad this was helpful.
Such good info. I also watched your assembly video of the Nox 800 when I got mine last week. It helped me get it together quick. I understand a lot of how it works except how to determine how deep a target is.
same!
Thank Larry, just buy a Equinox 800 and you explain very well this detector ( computer lol ) , i will watch several times your video to have a good comprehension . You have a new subscriber!
Awesome! Congratulations on the new machine. Once you get familiar with the basics I also have a more ADVANCED video. Thanks again.
Appreciate all of the valuable info presented here. It is difficult to hear you when outside but other than that lots of good stuff. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you for watching
I've been leaning toward the Equinox as the detector that I want. Your video has helped me greatly to understand the basics. Thank you.
I know it been a year since you did this tutorial but its still good for me to review for myself. Thank you!
There are more tutorials on my channel. Happy hunting
Thank you just purchased it this week and watched your videos you make it sound simple and not mind blowing have been detecting for 40 years and can't wait to go back to the places I hunted years ago right now we are hitting civil war camps this week hope I do well.with the NOX
Awesome, there are more tutorials on my channel for the nox as well. Good luck hunting
Just got my 800 this week, great video!!! Thank you!!!
Awesome! I have many tutorials to help you learn the machine and you can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well if you want.
Great video. It helped me a lot in narrowing down a replacement to my 1977 Wilson-Neuman Daytona 1 that was top of the line machine in its day, and that gave me 30+ years of exceptional use.
awesome I am glad it helped. I appreciate you watching.
Excellent Video !! You have a great teaching style. Very thorough, not rushed and demonstrated to boot...Perfect !! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you watching. I have more equinox tutorials if you are interested on my channel. Happy hunting.
Thanks mate, detector came with quick start guide but no user manual to explain settings, your vid did that for me, cheers.
You can download the manual at minelab.com and also I have many tutorials on the Equinox as well. Thanks for watching
Fantastic video, step by step instructions on each setting. I have decided on the the 800 over the 600 and from watching your video I think it will be easy to set up. I did talk to a factory rep recently and he advised it could be powered on and go hunt, but I do understand an adjustment for ground balance would be good even if you want to hunt this way. But with your settings I think the learning curve will be much easier. I look forward to getting the 800 and and learning while I hunt. Thanks for your great video !
I am glad to be of help. I have a link in the description of the video where you can get your detector and any other supplies you need. I have a more advanced video on the nox as well when you are ready. Tbanks for watching
Thanks for your fantastic tutorial. I am just getting started in this hobby and have been a bit intimidated with all the research I have been doing on which detector I would like to purchase. Your straight forward approach on how to use this machine has helped me decide that this is what I wish to buy. It's factory settings will be a great starting point for me to learn and advance from.
It is a great machine. You will find a link in the description of this video where you can purchase the equinox and all of your detecting needs as well. Feel free to holler with any questions.
Just bought 800 and your the best instrument instructor I’ve found hope to meet you someday thanks again Rick Thompson
Thank you Rick I wish you the best on finding the pile of treasure 😉

That's awesome Martin! I am working on an advanced tutorial on the 800 now. Thank you for the kind words and for the sub. Find a lot of treasure my friend.
Hands down the best video for us beginners with an 800. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
What a nice way to explain how to use this metal detector so easy helps me better make up my mind on wanting to buy the equinox 800 thank you Larry
You're welcome
I think you did a great job making this. I've been prospecting for years in the creeks and rivers here in the Northwest...always thought about a metal detector..but I knew technology was advancing leaps and bounds...so I waited..surprise!!!.my wife put this under the Christmas tree. This video is a confidence builder for a first-time beginner like me. Thanks for posting!
Great, congratulations on the detector. subscribe and let me know if you have any questions.
