Minelab Equinox 800 - Advanced Setup and Using Tone Breaks!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video I talk about some of the more Advanced Settings I like to use on the Minelab Equinox 800 for hunting in parks and fields.
I look at setting up Tone Breaks, Tone Break Pitch and Tone Break Volume.
I also look at Iron Bias Settings, and Accept/Reject settings that may help users of this detector when starting out.
Visit Luke Steven's video on Tone Breaks for more information on this topic. Thanks Luke for the inspiration!

A very useful tip I was told by a friend, is when pinpointing with the Garrett handheld pin pointer (or any pin pointer) to save getting back on your feet to re-locate a target with your metal detector (target may be out of handheld pointer range) if you use your digging tool as an aerial by placing the tip of digger on the top of the pin pointer and sliding it down until pointer starts to 'chirp' then back it off to silence it you gain much more depth than by normal use - Very useful especially if you are getting on in years - Cheers Linno
This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing - I will definitely give it a try.
Just learned more about my 800 in the last 12 minutes, than I have in the last year. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to giving this a run at my local park. The gold coins should really stand out now.
Let me know how you go!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting went to a local athletics track a day ago. was only there for 1.5-2 hours. Found 4 x $2 coins and an 1883, 3 Pence in great condition. Found it much easier to use.
@@markteague5013 awesome! Well done. The English thrip is a great find!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting I went back again to the same location, and got another $7, but also found a really nice ladies sterling silver ring, with what looks like a diamond in the centre. I will need to get it confirmed by a jeweller. Either way, it is still an awesome find. You have not only given me some good settings, but also inspiration. Thanks :)
@@markteague5013 fantastic stuff Mark. Well done mate! The goodies are out there - we just have to be consistent and patient, as they will eventually come! The more you use your machine, the more you will learn to trust it, and understand what it is telling you.
Great instructional vid…clear, concise and to the point! One of the best explanations yet. I already understood it but have a buddy who just doesn’t get it..this should do the trick. If not, no one can help him! LOL
Thanks for your kind words! I hope this video helps your buddy out!
That’s a fantastic and very informative Video! Well explained & without unnecessary nonsense.
Bought my Equinox 800 last year and used it yesterday for the first time after a ton of research and reading 3/4 of the manual.
I did not come across all this, but after detected for almost 8 hours straight, I figured how to set the machine to get more or less accurate feedback. So this Video will help making it even better, so THANK YOU very much!
But there’s one thing I’d like to know… why does everyone recommend leaving the Beach setting from -09 to 40?
I came across a ton of tin-foil, bottle-caps, screw-caps and such waste that I ended up deleting all frequencies until 15. After that, every beep was a success.
Not as if I would have found a lot, but 7 coins it was, so being it the first day, I think that’s pretty good :)
Thanks for watching, and for your kind words. With Beach Modes, fine gold chains and small gold earrings can have a target ID in the 1-8 range, so I usually discriminate out everything below 0, and leave everything else open. Having said that, you will have to dig A LOT of rubbish before you ever find that one chain or earring! It’s a personal choice, and some days (depending on the beach and how much time I have), I’ll discriminate everything below 15 too. Best of luck!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting Hey man, thanks a lot, I appreciate you taking the time, I started to figure that out by watching more of your videos and looking up some other. Seems like my understanding was a little off. The amount of bottle caps und foils at beaches is incredible (at least here). But hey, that's my part of making this world a cleaner one. ^^ Happy detecting
Great info bud 👍🏼 I will try this setup on my next hunt and see how it goes. Thanks again!
thanks always for your videos.👍
Always welcome
Mate thank you another great video mate
In 6 months using beach mode with coiltek 14 inch I never had to ground balance, I just go between beach 1 and 2 depending on soil moisture as per minelab recommendations
The Equinox is a great machine, and generally has no issues with wet sand at all. I also find the auto ground balance is pretty awesome too!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting I only have two issues with the machine, backlight wrong colour and minelab vdi numbers are too tightly grouped compared to other brands of machine’s. I do like the Nox it’s suiting perfectly for what I brought it for but glad I have three detectors in the detector cupboard
Hi Steve - A great job as always - many thanks for the easy to follow video ... Any chance you could film a dig using 50 tone set to show how that indicates targets before they get dug up ? cheers John
Thanks John. To be honest I’ve never used 50 tones as it’s just too noisy for me, but it could make for an interesting comparison video…
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting Yes M8 = worth a go i reckon, may even give some pointers - cheers John
Do you have a conversation for the tone breaks for the nox 700/900?
Sorry, no I don’t. Check out Luke at Dig It Detecting - I think he has one available on his FB page.
Awesome vid!
Wish there was one for the 600
Check out my Basic Settings video - it applies (mostly) to both the 800 and 600...
👍
Hi M8 what was the site you mention in the video - Blue john detecting ? Any help cheers john
Check out Dig It Detecting. Luke has some very useful videos…
Hi I was wonderful if I can put this setting on to feild 1 or 2 because I have tried but it won't let me were we are decting there is a very high trash area and hot rock I have found some thing but was wondering about feild 1 or 2 got any idea
For Field 1 and 2, the default Target Tone setting is set to 2 Tones. You need to go into this setting and change it to 5 Tones, and then you can use the Advanced settings as per the video with 5 different tone breaks. Good luck!
Thank you so so much I just tried it now will have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens if all else fails I can start again that's the beauty of this machine will let you know how I get on...might even change the multi frequency
Mine has no target tones in either gold mode?
c-am multe setari faci pentru care domeniu?ori parc ori ...?dar pentru aur ai setari?
I haven't done any gold detecting as yet, but hopefully I'll get the chance one day!

Hello. How much more should I increase the threshold sound to achieve more depth?
I don’t think threshold will change depth.
If you accept reject everything below 15, why set up Tone Breaks below that?
Hi Kathleen - thanks for your comment. When I'm hunting, I'm constantly turning All Metal on/off so I can hear what's around my target more clearly, so the tone breaks work well for that. I'm also regularly changing my discrimination settings, depending on my location, and what I'm searching for (i.e. coins, relics, everything etc). With tone breaks already pre-set, when I include/exclude certain Target IDs they are automatically applied.
Great info bud 👍🏼 I will try this setup on my next hunt and see how it goes. Thanks again!
These settings work well in Australia, mainly because our most common current coins ($1 & $2) have Target IDs of 21 & 22, and our older predecimal coins ring up between 20-30. You may need to adjust these settings slightly for the US - let me know how it goes, and good luck!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting appreciate it and thank you 👍🏼
