    I thought I would throw my two cents in no pun intended! I'm an electronic technician by career for 30 years and have been detecting for almost the same amount of years! The frequencies in a multi frequency detector are different because they optimize the sensitivity of the detector for the metal that you're looking for so silver and copper are more responsive to the lower frequencies like 4 kilohertz and 5 kilohertz etc the higher frequencies like 20 and 40 kilohertz are much more responsive to gold generally, in the past detectors were only single frequency units and were optimized for the best of both worlds but with disadvantage the detector may be very good at silver and copper but not so good at Gold or a detector maybe a higher frequency and be better for gold but not so much silver and copper your run of the mill detectors normally are optimized so that they're average at both ends of the spectrum but not optimum! Multi-frequency detectors like the equinox when running in multi frequency utilize all the frequencies simultaneously so that as you pass over objects in the ground the detector is able to process that information and give you the most accurate information over a wide range of targets! Selecting the individual frequencies has very little to do with interference or EMI and more to do with optimizing the detector for what you're looking for so if I'm going to hunt gold nuggets I'll be selecting 40 kilohertz and running in only that frequency but if I'm going to hunt silver and copper I'm going to want to run at five kilohertz. Hopefully this helps everyone understand the difference. The majority of detectors in the world for decades now have been single frequency units and they are very problematic in highly mineralized soil and salt which multi frequency machines handle extremely well. It's not to say that a single frequency unit cannot operate in highly mineralized soil or on salt the work around for decades was to decrease sensitivity to reduce falsing but unfortunately reducing sensitivity also decreases depth so it's a give and take! Only in the last 30 years or so has multi-frequency really taken hold and Minelab is definitely the pioneer in that arena! Multi-frequency allows the detector to operate in some very harsh soil and wetted salt conditions while at the same time giving you the most advantage over a wide range of targets in the ground. The fact that you can select a specific frequency to operate on based on what you're looking for is an outstanding option! Anyways I hope this helps a little bit! Happy hunting and best regards! Btw enjoy the videos very informative🙂

      Flsandmaster that is very well put and I appreciate your feedback on that, it is good to have an idea what the frequencies are good for in the case you need them for a special hunt. Thanks again and I appreciate you watching.
      Happy hunting

    When ever possible Detectorist should strive to dig a 3 sided horseshoe shaped hinged plug so that the first lawn mower that runs over that spot wont suck the plug out of the ground. It also helps the grass to grow back, and before closing the plug and pressing it into back into the lawn pour any loose dirt back into the hole.

    Just my my 800 a couple days ago. The dealer was super helpful and showed me the basic setup. He also went over the use of the detector. Yesterday was my first try with it in the field. Dug junk, didn't find not one coin. After watching this video I feel much more prepared. For example the dealer never mentioned the scale when using the pin pointer mode. Also said to use park in #2 whereas you said #1. Thanks so much for giving me my confidence back!

    Thanks so much for this video! As a rookie with the Nox 800, I've used several of your videos to get my settings the way I want them and I am heading out over the holiday for the first time (outside of my own yard). My parents house has an old one-room school house in their yard, so I am hoping that the 800 can help me cut through all the junk thats around and maybe find something cool. :)

    My E800 just arrived yesterday. Got it put together and set up. Watching your vids is a GODSEND! Between you and Relic Dirtyhands, I'm getting to understand this machine and this 'hobby'. I've never done this, except once when I was about 7 or so...for about a minute during some family reunion or something...that was in the mid-70's. So...yeah.. how about "almost never". ;)

    Just found this and I'm blown away by what is the best beginners instruction online I have seen for the Nox 800, I've had mine for over a year but have only taken it out a dozen or so times and never re-checked the set up etc; after the first time so have learned a few things (only checking on the solid sounds and the pinpointer graph coming together at the top for it to be dead centre!) and can't wait for the snow to go and the decent weather to begin as this has given me the buzz back to go and search properly this time! Thank You! 👍

    bought a 600 model and could NOT find ANYWHERE a slow and thorough tutorial as this video. For instance, I could not understand why the face of the screen said EQUINOX and did not have the details of the screen protector. I didn't know that this particular protector would cover the equinox. Just simple things like that. I cannot tell you how much this and a couple other of your videos made me not feel some dumb trying to detect metal and figure out what all the options were about. I subscribed even though I may not need any further help, but your video is the BEST out there. Thank you, Art

I will be heading to a friends property near Ballarat in Victoria Australia well known gold county soon and will be the first time using my new detector there as I have an old minelab I use on my property which is farming and rough. Thanks again for a great tutorial 😊

    Your video is the best I’ve seen explaining how to start using the Equinox 800 as well as some general detecting advice. Good photography, great audio and overall presentation. I’ve been metal detecting causally since the 1970’s using BFO machines and currently have a Whites Spectra V3i. I am looking at the Equinox 800 mostly because it’s lightweight (2.96lbs) compared to the V3i which is 4.2lbs.

    I have recently purchased the Equinox 800. I also have a Excal 1000 and a Fisher Aquanut 1280X. I have had both detectors for many years and both have well paid for themselves with the finds of the past. I have watched so many videos about the Equinox 800 and I think your videos are the best on TH-cam. My biggest problems is that I have watched too many and the advanced settings are a bit confusing from one video to another. I am a bit intimidated with my new Nox 800 detector. I have not assembled it yet...perhaps I should and just use the factory settings to start. It is so difficult for me to start a new learning curve since I am still attempting to master the older detectors I have. I guess a person really never masters any detector....so many variables...every hunt is a new experience. I just want to encourage everyone to just go out there, get fresh air and a bit of exercise and perhaps stumble across a fortune that everyone is looking for.
    Thanks for your time and effort with your very informative videos. I wish all the best and happy hunting!!!

    • @SodBustersMetalDetecting
      @SodBustersMetalDetecting  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Al thank you very much for the compliment. The Equinox is very easy to learn and I have several tutorials on it. The preset programs are just fine to start with as you learn. Here is another video you might want to watch. Holler with any questions and find that hoard. Minelab Equinox 800: th-cam.com/play/PLjrtO2dCo3KHkjtqTrlcCWu4Q6OpFeyIL.html

    • @SodBustersMetalDetecting
      @SodBustersMetalDetecting  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't done much gold shooting with the Equinox but I think you may get a little better depth out of a single frequency. I would be interested to hear your results if you see a difference between multi and 40.
