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
Well I'm a beginner, and this is another great "how to" tutorial. I've enjoyed your series of videos on the Nox 800. Thanks Larry for all of your help. Liked and subscribed.
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". ;) .. Living in the Yukon Territory, I'm more apt to find gold than coins, so there is that! :)
I am new to detecting, just put together my new minelab equinox 800 not even 2 hours ago. Your videos have been great in breaking down the basics of operating this machine. I'm excited to get out and get to searching! Thanks for the helpful videos!
Hey mister I just purchased an EQX 800. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and hacks to make this process less intimidating.
Great video! As a new Nox 600 owner I didn't realize that the tone is more important than the VDI number. I'm coming from a White's M6 which I tend to rely on the VDI number, probability indicator, and a clear tone. This is a great video!
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! 👍
Been away for about a year Larry. Just popped in on a bad day. Good to see your videos again. Love them bud. You explain things so well. Thanks again Larry.
Hello. Thanks for Sharing. I Went To The Park Today For The First Time With My Brand New Equinox 800, and I Was A Total Mess Just Trying To Guess How To Use The 800, I Sure Did Learn a Big Lesson To First Learn From Watching The Experts Like You On TH-cam. Now That I Watched Your Video On How To, I'll Try Once More Tomorrow Sunday. Stay Safe. 👍 I Own A Garrett AT Pro And AT Max.
I am purchasing a new mental detector to upgrade from my Whites DFX. While searching for information I came across several of your videos and I certainly am enjoying the information that you share. I am now a subscriber!!! Thank you for the information
Awesome Alex, when you are ready go to outlawmetaldetectors.com let Dan know I sent you. If you purchase your detector there you will get our full support as well as a Sod Busters Metal Detecting hat if it is $500.00 or more. Let me know if I can help and thanks for subbing
Love this channel, just got my Equinox 800 and found this, on holiday, going to do beach detecting where there are lots of tourists or have been in the past and very few if any metal detectors!!
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
Since watching your videos I’ve finally got better with my equinox 600. And I watched other people videos and did not get much out of them. Thanks for all you do
I went out with my newly purchased eq 800 last night, fully charged batteries, attempted to skim over the manual but nothing sank in. Somehow still managed to find a few dollars ! And a tonne of bottle lids (typical post-weekend on an Aussie beach).... kicking myself for not watching this til the following day ! Fantastic video, better than any manual. Thanks ! Can't wait to get back out with more of an understanding how to use this bad boy!
💯Enjoying you're tutorial's, new to the world of metal detecting (cherry), you're series videos on the 800 has helped me in so many ways , i have been wanting to do this hobby for a very long time, i finally pulled the trigger and got my self the 800 for my 56th B-day! 🏴☠SEMPER Fi , God Speed! Happy Hunting
Hey Man... thanks for the tutorial, i just got myself the 800 and figured I would watch a video or two before using it... Spot on with your advise and demonstration, appreciate it Allan
Hi, great video you’ve made. Plain and simple instructions without bogging us down with technical stuff that makes you hit the stop button. I’m looking to get into this hobby and you explained things nice and clear. Well done and keep these types of videos coming. You guys over there must have too much money to just throw it away lol. There have been a couple of big treasure finds recently in the UK which gives you the encouragement to get a detector and get out there. Cheers and stay safe.
I'm just starting out in metal detecting and considering this brand and model because of the great reviews it has. Thanks for your time to record the tutorials, not only on this video but for the others on Minelab Equinox 800 aswell, very well explained :)
Brilliant you have made this so easy to understand. I have the same set up as you with the garret pin pointer I find it easier to sit and use that to fine tune where to look. 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.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I am glad I can help. The Equinox 800 is an awesome machine. If you decide to get one come to outlawmetaldetectors.com and mention Sod Busters Metal Detecting and you will get a Sod Busters Metal Detecting hat with your 800 purchase as well as my support. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the Videos man. Just Upgraded to the Nox 800 a couple days ago and already found a silver and coins your videos have really helped. Keep On Diggin!
By far the best tutorial I have seen so much better than the online instructions that came with the detector cleared up a lot of questions and concerns that I had with my new mine lab equinox
Very good video on getting started using the Equinox 800 detector. Also a very good hack on saving $$$ by modifying the screensaver. Thanks Sodbusters!
Thanks for a great video. Very informative. Just purchased a new Equinox 800 today and looking forward to getting out there to see what I can find. 😃 👍🏼
Hi I'm newbezz on this metal detecting, got my. Eq. Nox 800, your tutorial is soo helpful I don't need to spend reading on manual. Soo bless you done this here in TH-cam.. Happy digging 😊💪
Just bought my unit and looking forward to trying it out with my 8 year old granddaughter. Thanks for the great tutorial. I have my dad's old White detector and have enjoyed that on occasion.
When in doubt dig it out! Definitely the best advice right there Larry! Lots of cool tips for a beginner plus the screen protector tip is great. I will have to do it with the next one I apply. Take care & happy hunting:)
Good video Larry. I would like to see a video that has you digging some junk targets and the tones that they make. Always enjoy and never miss a video you post. Thanks. Gary.
Your display protector hack is a good one. I just bought a very nice used detector that has the display protector in Russian and it's installed upside down. I wish he would've watched your video first.
Thanks for this upload Larry. I’ve not long had the 800 and this is an excellent resource to come back to as a refresher. Another subscriber here , all the best from New Zealand mate and happy hunting !
Glad to have you here. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group. I also have many more tutorials on the Equinox on my channel
Good video. I recently purchased the Nox 800, and look forward to using it once the warmer weather arrives. I'll be checking out your other videos as well. Thanks.
Going to be getting my 3rd Garret Carrot and an 800. Having had an AT Pro, CZ3D, 2 V3i's..... just miss detecting and wanted the bugs worked out of the 800.
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!!!
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
Larry thanks for your help in switching from version 3.0 back to 2.0 the machine is running perfect as it did when I first got it .I'm sure version 3.0 works well somewhere in the world I could find no benefit to it here in Maine I updated my XP Deus to 5.1 and it improved an already great machine thanks again still learning the nox these videos really help
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.
Hi Larry you're definitely the GOAT can I fly out from the UK with my 600 and detect with you. That was the most informative video I have ever watched. I have subscribed, rang the bell and gonna hit the thanks button. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.
Been watching videos on the equinox 800 now for a couple of weeks. I just got it Delivered today. I just git dine putting it together. Now I'm nervous to take it out and use it. It's to late now. Its dark and cold. I'll give it a go tomorrow. I feel like a kid on Christmas day.
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting No way! 🤣Awesome man.👍👍 Myself I am looking at purchasing an equinox800 here in England, upgrading from the Garrett ace. Love to go nugget hunting But we have nothing like that here unless a planned 3mth trip to the states. Never say never :)

This guy explains it the best over all other reviews I have ever watched.
Thank you Kirk 😊
Totally agree!
agreed. I'm not new to detecting but I appreciate the slower pace. i went from garett to minelab.
Such a great review of the basics! Perfect for those of us who learn visually!
Why have beginners took this machine back ,it's because it's to hard to use
Great guide. Concise, clear, practical content. As a beginner it was exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Glad to help 😊
Well I'm a beginner, and this is another great "how to" tutorial. I've enjoyed your series of videos on the Nox 800. Thanks Larry for all of your help. Liked and subscribed.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you for bringing this up.
Yup, I had a buddy that would do this. His holes would look great when you left, but when you came back three days later they were dead and brown.
Will do! Just getting started.
Thanks

I'm glad it helped Terry. Good luck hunting
Nice Video Nothing better than getting baked and metal detecting
I like that screen protector idea 💡
Bottom of page 9 in the manual tells you this information. Still good info if you've missed it.
That was by far the best and easiest video to understand. Hopefully I can get some good hits around Hill end/sofala. Thanks heaps mate.

Good video Larry. I would like to see a video that has you digging some junk targets and the tones that they make. Always enjoy and never miss a video you post. Thanks. Gary.
I will start adding some trash digs into my video so people get an idea of how that sounds. Thanks for watching
Thank you from New Zealand, I found it helpful.
I'm glad to be of help. Thanks for watching
Your display protector hack is a good one. I just bought a very nice used detector that has the display protector in Russian and it's installed upside down. I wish he would've watched your video first.
Hopefully you got the English version to put on
Thank you for the info. My husband and I just purchased our first detector and set it up today. Going out for our first venture tomorrow morning
That is great. I wish you luck. Feel free to find Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group to show your finds and to ask questions.

Iv been watching your vids for several days and with the advice from a friend in addition to your info I’m on my way.
Going to be getting my 3rd Garret Carrot and an 800. Having had an AT Pro, CZ3D, 2 V3i's..... just miss detecting and wanted the bugs worked out of the 800.
It's a great machine. Thanks for watching
Helpful video, clear concise and to the point, I am a new Minelab Equinox 800 user in central Europe
Thank you John, I'm glad i was able to help. Thank you for watching and happy hunting.
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!!!
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
Thanks for taking the time, great video
Thank you for watching 😊
Larry thanks for your help in switching from version 3.0 back to 2.0 the machine is running perfect as it did when I first got it .I'm sure version 3.0 works well somewhere in the world I could find no benefit to it here in Maine I updated my XP Deus to 5.1 and it improved an already great machine thanks again still learning the nox these videos really help
Great, I'm glad it helped. Thank you for watching.
thank you for that screen protector hack it works great
@@jaquiinsuffolk6730 you bet
I have the 800. If I want to search for gold should I use multi or 40klh?
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.
Excellent video! we are exploring the purchase of a metal detector.
Awesome! If you are in the usa I can help you. Just go to outlawmetaldetectors.com and tell Dan I sent you
Every time I hunt it’s like Christmas morning!
I agree 😊
Hi Larry you're definitely the GOAT can I fly out from the UK with my 600 and detect with you. That was the most informative video I have ever watched. I have subscribed, rang the bell and gonna hit the thanks button. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.
Thank you Tom. I appreciate you. I'm glad it was helpful. Feel free to find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group as well if you want
