I try my best to treat everybody’s yard just as I would want someone else to treat mine. The digging cloth’s help out quite a bit So I always try to utilize them. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video
Great video! I was at an 1833 church but the front yard was undetectable because of electrical interference. My numbers were just rolling. After seeing your video I am thinking of going back but turning down the sensitivity. Thanks for the information that you pass on to everyone to make a more successful hunt.
Thank you and I’m glad you like the video. Try going back with your sensitivity levels set a little lower as well as try to run in a single frequency. If you can switch between the single frequencies and find one that is running quiet instead of falsing.... You may be able to turn the sensitivity up more than running in Multifrequency. Good luck at your church site sounds exciting
Square Nail Squirrel I went back and applied the new knowledge . With my AT Pro I was getting beeps but discovered that the earth has been disturbed for installation of a sprinkler system. I did not find anything but rusted bottle caps, square nails and iron. However I came away with My curiosity satisfied! Thanks!
I have been metal detecting since 1973. I really enjoy your videos. I just found your channel today and subscribed. I got rid of everything and bought a Minelab CTX-3030. I have gold machines also. Keep up the good work. If you ever come to northern or NW Nevada, you are welcome to hunt here.
Great video! SNS, thank you for taking the time to help educate us on proper plug cutting/technique. You’re a role model for me and others. Thanks again!
Thank you Mopar monster, I try to do my best with these videos and I enjoy doing them. Lately I’ve been having troubles finding sites that are moist enough to actually dig in without killing the yard. This past Sunday I went out but after being there for about an hour I headed home. I’m glad that what I’m doing on here has a positive impact and I will continue doing as I have been. Once the rains begin in the ground moistens back up I’ll be out making a video about one a week or more. For now I’ve just been dealing with the transmission that one out of my truck and it’s kind of upsetting as well as very expensive. Thank you for tuning in to check out the videos and thank you for your kind comments.
Excellent job on your videos; you really make it interesting. Thanks for putting all the time into the hobby and sharing it with us. I guess I've watched all of your videos to date. Most of the time, I watch them on my TV where I can't leave comments. Thanks again for sharing so much with us.
Kenny, According to one Equinox engineer, EMI is the silent performance killer. "Noise Cancel often." Looks like you pulled off a stellar hunt under very difficult EMI conditions. Oh, and thanks for covering the correct way to replace a plug. The zip-tie method will help me keep those hard-earned permissions. The tie-in to your last video was complete and very much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Yes Howard EMI Really messes up a hunt If not managed correctly. It seems that on every site that I’ve been to that has been hunted before, directly under the powerlines is where all the good finds are. I just try my best under those conditions and see what comes up. I figured since I had been out to that site a few days earlier and it has been really hot out, That I would share how my plug survive through the techniques that I use. I have had a lot of people get on here and tell me how terrible of a plug that I did because it’s not a three sided plug. Someone made that three sided plug thing up about 10 years ago and told everybody about it now everybody believes it. Sure, it’s a great technique but it’s all about keeping up moisture in the ground and not so much cutting three sides and ripping one. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and I hope you’re out doing some hunting as well.
Hey Where are your videos?? Hope everything is ok?? Haven’t seen anything in a while and I was enjoying seeing your progress with The Equinox. Hopefully you will be back soon?
Everything is good, just summer break for me due to waaaay too much going on to hit the field to detect. Soon I will be back out. I haven't even updated my machine yet so I have some catching up to do. Thanks for checking in.
Nice video's! I have watched about 12 of them. I like the detailed explanation of what you are doing and the great camera work. Thanks for the education and entertainment!
Bought my first detector Nox 600 this summer...Love it! Really enjoy all you videos. Went back and watched how you switched to a Nox. I re-watch to learn! Please continue to state VDI numbers before digging. I also listen to your videos on my commute to/from work. This way I don't have to take my eyes off the road...lol Thank you for your videos!!! (Detecting in Illinois)
Thank you and glad you enjoy the hunt. I tried my best with the videos so it’s nice to hear that you like them. Utilizing the maps will really help you out in understanding the site. You pretty much know what kind a target you’re going to find and range of dates. Sometimes even get the names of the families written on the Maps so that’s kind of cool as well. That video should help you out pretty much but if you have issues just let me know I help you out.
Thank you, I had a pretty good time on the site but the EMI kind of got to me. I know there are more good finds At this house but I think I’m going to Move on. Thank you for checking out the video
Awesome videos. Your channel motivated me to go and by myself an Equinox 600 a couple weeks ago. I never metal detected before but it was something I always wanted to do. 11 silver coins on my last hunt after some good old research, so pretty happy with the results so far =). Look forward to seeing your next video. Happy huntings!
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video I try my best. The audio in this one was really hard I had to do some major editing because of cars, wind, trees and other ambient noise. Again, thank you for checking out the video and for your kind comments. Good luck with any hunting you may have coming up.
Thank you Jimmy and I’m glad you like the video. I tried to add that bit about the plugs that I dig because I always get Critiqued about how I did mine. People typically jump all over me and tell me that the holes I dig are horrible, but I’ve been digging the same ones for over 20 years and haven’t had an issue. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and I hope you’re out hunting as well.
Thank you Kurt I try my best with these videos to add educational stuff and entertaining stuff. Even if it’s just the tiniest bit of information that may help someone, at least I get it out there. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Always enjoy your videos; you obviously put a lot of time into making your vireos, and they are always educational. i hope all is well with you and your family, as i noticed you haven't posted a video in a while. i hope to see some new ones soon.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, both machines are in good shape and I’m only selling them because of new interest in machine use. I’m still kind of in the air if I’m going to sell both but I know at least one is going to go. Thank you for checking out the video
Nice hunt and finds Kenny. My opinion is use what works, if it doesn't work change it. I'm really liking how the equinox works and I hope to be getting one next spring. In other news I finally found my first large cent tonight, an 1824. And last week I found two walking liberty half dollars on the same property both 1942's. It's been a good week and a half. Keep swinging.
Thank you, I was really happy with the finds at this site especially due to the conditions. That’s awesome you finally found your first large cent, Finding those never gets old. I’d be really happy finding 1/2 dollar but you found two in their walkers, totally amazing. Glad to see you’re out hunting And having success. I’ll hopefully be out this week to detect a new site, just have to see how the week goes. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with any of your hunts you have coming up.
Thank you David. I like it whenever a house has that Victorian style curve Built into it. It’s call how back in the day they used to put so much more time Into the style the house versus these box type things that were living in today.
Thank you Tracey, Where did you like the videos and enjoy what you’re seeing. I’ve enjoyed every minute that I’ve spent with this machine so far, Very glad that I made the decision to get one. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up and take care.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I love the fact that you show the display when detecting, because often times I never know if I should dig something if the TDI's are too jumpy. I'm truly learning a lot from you and love everything about your channel. Happy Hunting!
Very nicely presented. As always enjoy your videos. You are climbing up the metal detecting charts. And well deserved. I just seen the simplex is coming out end of August. From the adds I am seeing. Liking what u see. Especially for some water hunts. From one youtuber to another kudos and keep putting those vids out, you got it going on! AquaLand Relics
Thank you I try my best with these videos and the information I provided in them. It takes a lot of legwork, homework, meetings in studying in order to pull all this off. When I first started I knew nothing about my editing software, videography skills, TH-cam, and all the settings that are on my camera which is actually a phone and order make decent video. It’s been one really long learning process has been frustrating at times but rewarding at the same time. I just want to take people on the hunt with me since I don’t hunt with anybody and share my experiences. I don’t really follow a common trend with all the Metal Detecting lingo, trying to get subscribers and followers by asking every five minutes, trying to get somebody to sponsor me so I can sell T-shirts and stickers and all that good stuff. I just want to go out Metal Detecting everybody else does but I just wanna show what I’m doing. Been a normal person you meet at Metal Detecting instead of some superhero. Thank you for your kind comments, I greatly appreciate them. Good luck on any hunts you have coming up And thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
I was really happy with the fines on this site especially since the conditions weren’t all that great. I tried to make a video on the first day out but due to all the traffic noise and wind all the audio is messed up in the video that I took. So I just combined a couple decks from that one with this one today and made this video. I’m not sure how many times I will go back to the site because it’s not all that enjoyable even though I know there’s more to be found out there.Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Yes I’ve been tied up a little bit this summer with other stuff to take care of as well as hobbies. I’m trying to get out as much as I can but sites that I have Need to have sufficient rain in order to hunt them. It’s kind of a hard balance during the summer months getting time as well as the right conditions to Metal Detect. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
I love your videos. You give us great information to use. Nice little coin spill there 👏👏 I'm saving to get an equinox now. After watching all of these metal detecting TH-cam videos; I'm now enamored with wanting to metal detect 😀 Have a great rest of your weekend!
I’m glad you like the videos I try my best with them. Metal detecting is a great hobby but it comes with challenges so be ready for those. There are a lot of metal detecting videos out there that only show the good without any of the bad or challenges. Take your time with whatever machine you end up buying and learn all the settings and what they are actually Doing whenever you change them. Any machine out there is going to do the job it was designed to do and it is up to the operator to get skilled enough utilizing the machine to speak its language and find what they are looking for. If you decide to go with the equinox it is a great machine and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it the whole time I’ve owned it. It’s took me about six months to save up enough money to get one, just make sure to call a dealer that sells them before you make a purchase online over a website that deals Metal Detectors. The price difference between a small dealer and a big website is quite a difference
You’re welcome and I’m glad you find the information I put in the videos helpful. I get a lot of static from people on how I dig my plugs but I have been doing it that way for many years with no problems. It’s all about technique and not so much how many sides get cut and how many sides get ripped. I wish you luck with any Metal Detecting that you have going on coming up and thank you for checking out the video
Glad you enjoy them and it’s good to hear that you and other folks on here are enjoying them, makes all the effort worth it. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up and thank you for tuning in to check out the video
A Stanley Fatmax is a digging tool the same as yours but it has a v in the tip. It's not sharp but I sharpened mine with the grinder so that it will cut through rots etc...
Keep up the good work. I've watched all of your vids now.. im here in ohio aswell and its tough digging sometimes but theres always that one coin/find that keeps you going ! Winter is coming.. hope ur next site provides the goodies!
Hello DG27, thank you. I had a pretty good time out on this site but the EMI, traffic and other conditions make it somewhat hard to detect. It was nice to find a coin spill with older coins.. seems I only find spills of clad stuff anymore. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck with any detecting you will be doing. Gearing up for some spare time since school is going back into session. :)
I have read that going to a single frequency on the 800 will quiet the EMI. I haven’t ran into EMI severe enough to try it, but it’s worth a shot. Good video as usual!👍🏻
Yes switching from multi to single Will help out in high EMI situations. Whenever you do get into that situation try switching between Each one until you find the one that’s quietest. The only problem with that is if it’s the 40 kHz that’s the quietest you’re going to miss out on any high tones just because it’s geared towards the low tones or low conductors like gold. I’ve only ran my equinox in single frequency a couple times, the performance great
Thank you Charles. Hopefully in about two hours from now I’ll be back out hunting again, then something a little different this time going out on my farm down in Kentucky. There is rock walls that were built back when Kentucky was still Kentucky County Virginia, pretty old stuff, Irish settlers.
I carry a pair of shears but it’s in my main bag and not in my side pouch, I try to run things as light as I can because of the long hours I spent in the field. It would just be nice if they would put a hook on the side of the digging spade To bust the roots
You said that you were looking for a digging tool with a forked end, look for a Stanley Fatmax digger - www.stanleygardenproducts.com/product/fatmax-ultimate-digging-knife/ Good and strong steel, serated edge, big ledge to make it easy to push into hard soil, and that split tip that you want. I found some at the local Marc’s grocery store a few months ago for $5.00 each !! Great bargain. You can probably find them on eBay or Amazon if you’re not near a Marc’s
I don’t find a spill very often but when I do it’s awesome. This year I haven’t found very many Mercury dimes so I was glad to see this one. Thank you for checking out the video
Always enjoy your videos Kenny. I do live in Canada in southern Ontario actually just due north of you across the lake.couple weeks ago I dug an American sheild nickel.detail is pretty good except where the date is unfortunately so I can't quite pull a date other then they were only minted from 1866-83. Actually dug it less then 200 ft from the shore of lake Erie.keep the great vids coming.
Thank you and I am glad that you enjoy the videos. I have not been able to hunt along Lake Erie but I do have a permission on a beach up there that is private. That is great that you found a shielded nickel, those are always fun to find. I have found on those coins that the date is typically always missing but at least you know a date range so you can know more about the site that you are digging. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with any hunts that you have coming up
Thank you for your kind comment I try my best with these videos, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Don’t beat yourself up for not getting the equinox, with any machine that you have you can be very successful. The biggest thing about it is getting that coil over top of the target that you want to find. Just get out with whatever machine you’re operating right now and keep swinging and good stuff will come out of it and you will be successful.
Great videos! Good quality ..just subscribed I watched all of them can’t wait for more..There are a lot of great old houses and cellar holes where i live in ct..New England in general..Have you ever took a trip and detected in New England yet?
You’re welcome wild man, I try to include as much as I can in the videos to help all levels of folks in this hobby. What I am doing Set up wise might not be for everyone, but at least it points people in the right direction. I just want everyone to succeed on their hunts.
if only you could rent or test drive these new machines it would make deciding what to get easier I have a bunch of them but my favorite is still my deus I love your videos thanks for taking the time
Someone that I know which lives in the Northeast has a place that they can go to and test drive any machine, they can even take it home for a couple days before they buy it. I wish they were more dealers like that around, it would save a lot of people a lot of money as well as headaches. I would like to try out one of those machines someday but they paid $1200 just to try it is hard for me to do. The Deus Is a proven machine and there are thousands of people that love it, I feel like I’m missing something by not having one. Maybe someday I’ll try to get one. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck Metal Detecting.
Great video and good hunt. The vanquish I herd was going to be a lower price machine like the garret 400. That should be a great detector for beginners. Keep up the good work and good luck on next hunt. I’m looking forward to next video.
Thank you, this was a fun hunt but it was also a really hard hunt due to all the noise and EMI. As more information comes out on the vanquish I’ll continue to draw a conclusion on if I’m going to get one or not, but for now I plan on going ahead and getting one. I seem to always go for the top machines by price when there’s a lot of other really nice machines that cost half The price. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Things are going fine but super busy.. this Sunday I will be out detecting and if I can still do "one man band video and detecting" I'll have a video out sometime next week. Thanks for checking in.
Anytime. I know you’ve been itching to get out. Understand about about been super busy. I hardly get out myself these days. Taking care my 2 little ones plus my grandson. So they keep me pretty busy. Will be glad to see you with a video out.
Kenny, I hunt with a Fisher F-5 and I dig with a serrated right edged Fiskars tool much like a Lesche (sp). When I bought it, it had that exact notch In the tip that you mentioned. I found it too difficult to dig with so I modified it by grinding it away and giving It a sharp rounded tip. Keep the great vids coming, I look forward to them weekly!
Thank you for the info and I didn’t know that there was a digging tool out there already with the notch. I might try putting a hook tight notch on the side of my digger and see how that works. I can see just like you explained that having the notch at the tip would make digging somewhat hard. I like fisher machines And have always had an interest to purchase one and start using it. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video intercom meaning it’s very helpful.
Thank you. Typically only in the summertime do I get in yards that have standing houses on them, most of the time I’m only in farm fields where the house fell down in the 1800s. Sometimes landowners or a little odd but I’ll do anything and deal with anything just to be able to dig in the yard that’s interesting. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video And good luck out there metal detecting.
Are you planning to make more videos now that crops are being harvested? I really hope so, as I enjoy your method of detecting and your experience on the Equinox 800.
If you look at the video Vanquish part 3 it shows the control panel face (that is the whole video). It has the frequency symbol for multi Freq. So it must be a multi freq machine. I will be curious to see more details about freqs, and how it compares to the Equinox. Great video.
Thanks Sam, I haven’t seen that video three of the vanquish yet. If it shows the multi frequency signal then it must be a multi frequency machine. It would be nice if they had another multi frequency which had totally different frequency kilohertz. Even if it’s not a single frequency I’ll probably still get it. So far I have nothing but praise for what Minelab Produces. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video as well as commenting.
I’ve actually been trying to sell my V3i For about a month now on craigslist with no luck. Once I do I’ll get back into another machine in the fall to run alongside the equinox. The ORX Seems like a really good machine and I actually didn’t even know about it until you mentioned it and then researched it. Thanks for the info and for checking out the video.
There have been a couple places I've hunted with the 800 that the EMI almost drove me insane lol. Still had my best hunt two days ago in one of those spots. Double IHP day and 5 Wheaties. Thanks for sharing your hunt and finds. Take care.
I have ran into a couple places that the EMI has been really bad. Seems that I can manage to EMI a lot better with the equinox than I can with the V3i. Even if the sensitivity is not set up around 20 or 21, more like somewhere around 14 or 15, I still get really good performance out of the equinox. That’s awesome You pulled to Indian cents And wheats out of a spot like this. Congrats on that. Glad to see you’re still out hunting in this heat. I’m not hurting as much lately but I’m trying my best due to the heat as well as dry yards. Thank you for watching the video and good luck with any hunt you have coming up
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , I hear you about the heat and it's been dry here also so I'm staying out of yards and park areas until we get rain again. I won a detector from Adventure Archeology which is a Fisher F75 to complement my 800. Looking forward to learning it and comparing. Take care.
Thank you and I’m glad you like the video. I tried my best with this so it’s great to get positive feedback about what I’m doing. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up
Everything is good, just summer break for me due to waaaay too much going on to hit the field to detect. Soon I will be back out. I haven't even updated my machine yet so I have some catching up to do. Thanks for checking in.
Minelab... I have actually sold both of my White's machines. If I had to pick between the White's I used to operate it would be the Sport over the V3i.
Thank you and glad you like the video. Yes the multifrequency machines are great but it’s always nice to have a single frequency around. Between my Whites V3i and the equinox I have learned a lot about the capability of a multi frequency machine and high EMI sites. I’m really not for sure where I will end up next with whatever machine I will get it but I’m trying to get another single frequency to replace my single frequency MX sport. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video as well as commenting.
I just picked up the EQUINOX 800 today. I've never touched a detector before tell today. What is the best way to get started with this. My house I live at has a lot of trash in the ground. I live on a one acre lot.
You’re welcome and I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s a pleasure to take everyone along with me on these hunts through making these videos.You are very correct anytime you find anything that’s cool like a coin, especially a silver coin, it’s an awesome day out in the field. I like to find coins but I also like to find about anything else as long as it’s not clad. After about the fourth or fifth piece of clad I typically move to another part of the yard, it’s just the way that I’ve been since I started Metal Detecting. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
I am and old detectorist and used a Whites 5900 Di Pro Plus which was top of the line at the time. I am looking at getting back into the hobby and have looked at the Minelab Equinox 800 or else the Whites MXT All Pro and I am split over which one to get. Naturally, I am partial to Whites but numerous folks suggested to go with the Minelab instead saying it's a much better detector. Since you have real world experience with both, what would be your suggestion? Thanks.
I have been Metal Detecting since I was 16 years old and now I am 39. The first metal detector I bought was a White’s As well as every metal detector I bought after that one until about six months ago I bought a Minelab. I Used the XLT until I purchase the V3i As well as the sport, I had success with both of those machines but for some reason I wanted to try the equinox. Once I actually did I couldn’t believe the difference in the enjoyment level when I was out detecting. It seems like most of my sites came alive with all kinds of tones and signals which led to great finds. I know that this is a public comment but until whites does something a little different then repackaging the same thing over and over and over again I probably won’t buy another one of their machines. They act like making a metal detector waterproof is space Age technology where the other manufacturers have that in a base design feature. I know that everyone says that the V3i has the best processor ever made by man but in my opinion the equinox kind of walks all over it, it’s lightning fast and I don’t even have to set 15 settings absolutely correct to have it lightning fast. I was always told that I set my V3i up wrong But I spent countless hours on the whites electronics forum, Studying the user manual and the advanced user manual, talking with friends online as well as sharing thoughts with other V3i Users to get the best performance. I drew a lot of conclusions on my own pertaining to the soil types that I was in in my area and got proficient at using my machine. After owning that machine for so many years I learned a lot about how metal detectors work snd the settings which has helped me. But, when I change to the equinox I found that not having to deal with all those settings and feeling like I set something up wrong on a hunt and missed all kinds of items, the hunt was much more enjoyable. I actually feel like I find many more interesting and valuable items now and when I leave a sight I don’t question myself on my settings, which makes a world of difference in enjoying the hobby
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you for your real world honest opinion. You helped me make a final decision as to which one I will purchase and it will be the Equinox! You were just the person I was looking for when I came across your videos who had experience with both brands. I know that Minelab has been building solid detectors for years! Back when the GPAA was doing their shows on the Outdoor channel, they often used Minelab detectors while gold prospecting. I won't be doing much of that as I live in the desert southwest of West Texas. All of my detecting has been and will be coin and relic hunting. Thanks again for your response and suggestion. Happy hunting!
I’m glad that you get info from the videos that helps you out. I try to include as much as I can so all levels of expertise can pick up something, even if it is just something simple. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Thank you and glad that you can take some stuff out of these videos and use it on your hunt. I try to include things in my videos even if it’s the smallest details just to provoke thoughts as well as expose people to things that they may not have seen yet, just improve the hunt for even one person. Thank you for the congrats as well as tuning in to check out the video
Yes I change into single frequency quite a bit to test and see which actual frequency is being affected by EM I. I also check on Questionable targets which frequency is actually reading the best to make a better judgment on what the target might be. I have noticed that the 40 kHz does good on very small gold targets and rings out ultra loud on nickels and low conductors.
Are you sure the Vanquish will be a single frequency machine? I've seen at many places that it could be a simultaneous multi frequencies but at low-mid price range.
No I am not sure that it is a single frequency machine. Since I have made this video it has been brought to my attention that there is a third video on the vanquish which shows the control panel and a multi frequency setting. The vanquish seems to be very elusive and mysterious with all the ads that I have seen. I know the answer fine and it builds up the hype but it really makes it hard for people trying to make the decision If they want to buy one or not. Gets confusing at times.
A little silver, some wheats and a few relics I would say you did great! Did you ever use the Garrett machines? I have had a Whites dfx and now the Garrett at max. I would take the Whites back any day. I guess I will ask Santa for a equinox this year to try out.
I was glad to hit the silver. There’s still quite a bit of stuff that can be found in the yard but I think I’m going to Move on because of the EMI. I have not used any Garrett machines Over the years but I have had an interest to use them. One of my friends about 10 years ago had a Garrett and they enjoyed it. Most all of the people I watch on TH-cam use Garrett machines so I kind of feel like I can use one by watching them.
Great video Kenny. You cut plugs like I do, your cuts go almost straight down as apposed to a steeper angle which kills a wider swath of the root system. Not many of mine turn brown. When you changed to the 6” coil on the Nox, did you have to factory reset the machine? Thanks again
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes I try to keep my cuts vertical so the roots have a nice ball of dirt around them. I have not needed to reset the machine any whenever I change coil’s, I haven’t heard of people needing to do that.
Square Nail Squirrel I know you need to reset the machine when changing coils with Garrett products, I was just curious about the Minelab products, thanks again- Bob
Did you update your Equinox with the latest firmware last year? How are you finding it? There were people that didn't like the new update stated on the minelab website.
I bought my equinox about six months ago and it was already updated with the new firmware. The charging cable that you have which has a USB end on it is how you connected to your computer to do the update. Beyond that, I don’t know much more about doing the update. I feel that the update is important because of the coins on edge affect and not being able to locate them. I am still fairly new to the equinox with only about 60 hours of use on the machine, maybe more or less than that but somewhere near that many. Try to research what the firmware update actually did to help the machine to help you decide if it is the right choice for you or not, but from what I know I think it would be a good idea To update.
Good hunt !!! Always want to ask - where you take those old land plans and maps ?? Here in Russia we take them in the open inet resources, but also possible to buy them (of rare years or with increased accuracy and quality). Thanx for answer ! Best wishes, Andy.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The old maps I find online as well as in local records. Most of the old atlases I find through the library of Congress here in the United States, they hold a lot archived maps and information that is hard to find. It’s all free and online which makes access very nice. I try not to buy anything because it runs in a lot of money, There are websites out there that have the same information I find on the Library of Congress but they have hijacked information and try to make money off of it when in actuality it’s public record and free.
Good stuff! Nice finds on the silvers, and the spill. You ever tried running 10khz under harsh emi conditions? A guy I work with told me he remembers spending wheats all through the 60’s and some of the 70’s. Great to see a new video from you. I haven’t been getting out as much as I usually do with work and being so busy, but hey I might even pick up the vanquish when it comes out with all this OT money 😂😂
Thanks Adam. I have tried to switch to single frequency a couple times and I run in the one that’s typically not affected most by EM I and not the frequencies targeted for gold like the 40 kHz. I just pick the one that’s the quietest and run with it and it seems to do good but the machine does act differently. I’m so used to running the V3i that when faced with EMI issues I just have to turn the machine down very low, I need to start remembering that I have a Minelab now. 🙂 I haven’t been hunting as much as I usually do either, it’s hot in the ground is dry. I just scored a really good site to metal detect, So I might get out a couple times after work this week because this week and I’m going to Pennsylvania to Metal Detect. Maybe in the fall you and I can hook up and go somewhere to detect, I’m hoping to have quite a few fields to hunt this winter. I hope all is well and don’t work too hard
Are you still going to Pound The Ground Adirondack Coast? If so I can't wait to meet you. Can I add your channel to the list of TH-cam channels attending the event in my Sunday video?
I didn't make it, I was in Texas again the weekend the event took place. Deej.. you have persmission to utilize anything from my channel or reference anytime you wish. Sorry for late return of a reply.
Good evening great finds I enjoy watching your videos, yet I got some anxieties and I guess because I want to go hunting I do notice that you use Equinox and also the MX sport I'm looking to buy the MX sport because I can go underwater and I'm running out of land spots, in your honest opinion would you recommend it. I use a White's MXT E series, and I've been hunting for about 30 years. I really appreciate the time thanks again Marc
Hope you're doing well. Can't wait to see you come back.
Good evening, where ya been sir? The wife and I miss your videos! Hope all is well
Glad to see you carefully digging. Stinks when people dont properly dig and leave a mess. We try to teach our kids the right way to dig...
I try my best to treat everybody’s yard just as I would want someone else to treat mine. The digging cloth’s help out quite a bit So I always try to utilize them. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video
Great video! I was at an 1833 church but the front yard was undetectable because of electrical interference. My numbers were just rolling.
After seeing your video I am thinking of going back but turning down the sensitivity.
Thanks for the information that you pass on to everyone to make a more successful hunt.
Thank you and I’m glad you like the video. Try going back with your sensitivity levels set a little lower as well as try to run in a single frequency. If you can switch between the single frequencies and find one that is running quiet instead of falsing.... You may be able to turn the sensitivity up more than running in Multifrequency. Good luck at your church site sounds exciting
Square Nail Squirrel I went back and applied the new knowledge . With my AT Pro I was getting beeps but discovered that the earth has been disturbed for installation of a sprinkler system. I did not find anything but rusted bottle caps, square nails and iron. However I came away with My curiosity satisfied! Thanks!
I have been metal detecting since 1973. I really enjoy your videos. I just found your channel today and subscribed. I got rid of everything and bought a Minelab CTX-3030. I have gold machines also. Keep up the good work. If you ever come to northern or NW Nevada, you are welcome to hunt here.
I hope everything is ok. Praying for you and your family.
Someone put out a APB out on Square Nail Squirrel!! Where has he been????? It’s been months since he put out a video
Vic Tucker I was thinking the same thing. He puts out good videos.
Great video! SNS, thank you for taking the time to help educate us on proper plug cutting/technique. You’re a role model for me and others. Thanks again!
Thank you Mopar monster, I try to do my best with these videos and I enjoy doing them. Lately I’ve been having troubles finding sites that are moist enough to actually dig in without killing the yard. This past Sunday I went out but after being there for about an hour I headed home. I’m glad that what I’m doing on here has a positive impact and I will continue doing as I have been. Once the rains begin in the ground moistens back up I’ll be out making a video about one a week or more. For now I’ve just been dealing with the transmission that one out of my truck and it’s kind of upsetting as well as very expensive. Thank you for tuning in to check out the videos and thank you for your kind comments.
Excellent job on your videos; you really make it interesting. Thanks for putting all the time into the hobby and sharing it with us. I guess I've watched all of your videos to date. Most of the time, I watch them on my TV where I can't leave comments. Thanks again for sharing so much with us.
Kenny,
According to one Equinox engineer, EMI is the silent performance killer. "Noise Cancel often." Looks like you pulled off a stellar hunt under very difficult EMI conditions. Oh, and thanks for covering the correct way to replace a plug. The zip-tie method will help me keep those hard-earned permissions. The tie-in to your last video was complete and very much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Yes Howard EMI Really messes up a hunt If not managed correctly. It seems that on every site that I’ve been to that has been hunted before, directly under the powerlines is where all the good finds are. I just try my best under those conditions and see what comes up. I figured since I had been out to that site a few days earlier and it has been really hot out, That I would share how my plug survive through the techniques that I use. I have had a lot of people get on here and tell me how terrible of a plug that I did because it’s not a three sided plug. Someone made that three sided plug thing up about 10 years ago and told everybody about it now everybody believes it. Sure, it’s a great technique but it’s all about keeping up moisture in the ground and not so much cutting three sides and ripping one. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and I hope you’re out doing some hunting as well.
I sure hope you're doing well, it's been a while since you've posted a video, missed your digging adventures!
Hey Where are your videos?? Hope everything is ok?? Haven’t seen anything in a while and I was enjoying seeing your progress with The Equinox. Hopefully you will be back soon?
Everything is good, just summer break for me due to waaaay too much going on to hit the field to detect. Soon I will be back out. I haven't even updated my machine yet so I have some catching up to do. Thanks for checking in.
Nice video's! I have watched about 12 of them. I like the detailed explanation of what you are doing and the great camera work. Thanks for the education and entertainment!
The squirrel does a good job of showing the screen and audio. That's why I watch his vids.
Still praying for you brother hopefully you come back soon be glad to see you and your videos again
Hey, we miss ya. Hope everything is ok. Hope your doing well. Waiting patiently.
Bought my first detector Nox 600 this summer...Love it! Really enjoy all you videos. Went back and watched how you switched to a Nox. I re-watch to learn! Please continue to state VDI numbers before digging. I also listen to your videos on my commute to/from work. This way I don't have to take my eyes off the road...lol Thank you for your videos!!! (Detecting in Illinois)
Another great hunt. Video was nice! Like the map usage. Going to have to go back to that video and check it out again.
Thank you and glad you enjoy the hunt. I tried my best with the videos so it’s nice to hear that you like them. Utilizing the maps will really help you out in understanding the site. You pretty much know what kind a target you’re going to find and range of dates. Sometimes even get the names of the families written on the Maps so that’s kind of cool as well. That video should help you out pretty much but if you have issues just let me know I help you out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you. Will do.
Great Hunt Kenny 👍
Thank you, I had a pretty good time on the site but the EMI kind of got to me. I know there are more good finds At this house but I think I’m going to Move on. Thank you for checking out the video
Enjoy watching your videos, hope to see more of them . Take care
Awesome videos. Your channel motivated me to go and by myself an Equinox 600 a couple weeks ago. I never metal detected before but it was something I always wanted to do. 11 silver coins on my last hunt after some good old research, so pretty happy with the results so far =). Look forward to seeing your next video. Happy huntings!
Very good videos, well made with good sound and video quality, not to mention some great finds. Thank you Square Nail Squirrel and happy hunting.
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video I try my best. The audio in this one was really hard I had to do some major editing because of cars, wind, trees and other ambient noise. Again, thank you for checking out the video and for your kind comments. Good luck with any hunting you may have coming up.
excellent hunt sorry im seeing it so late. make more videos soon I wanna get an 800 and you are doing the best of teaching it
Soon I will be back out. I haven't even updated my machine yet so I have some catching up to do.
Great channel. Enjoying the videos and glad to have found it.
Great video and some very good info on digging and replacing the plug.
Thank you Jimmy and I’m glad you like the video. I tried to add that bit about the plugs that I dig because I always get Critiqued about how I did mine. People typically jump all over me and tell me that the holes I dig are horrible, but I’ve been digging the same ones for over 20 years and haven’t had an issue. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and I hope you’re out hunting as well.
Another great educational video from SNS Productions!
Thank you Kurt I try my best with these videos to add educational stuff and entertaining stuff. Even if it’s just the tiniest bit of information that may help someone, at least I get it out there. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Always enjoy your videos; you obviously put a lot of time into making your vireos, and they are always educational. i hope all is well with you and your family, as i noticed you haven't posted a video in a while. i hope to see some new ones soon.
As always great video my friend. Those machines would make someone happy. Thanks again buddy some nice finds.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, both machines are in good shape and I’m only selling them because of new interest in machine use. I’m still kind of in the air if I’m going to sell both but I know at least one is going to go. Thank you for checking out the video
Anytime. Always enjoy your videos. I wish I was in the market for a new machine.
Nice hunt and finds Kenny. My opinion is use what works, if it doesn't work change it. I'm really liking how the equinox works and I hope to be getting one next spring.
In other news I finally found my first large cent tonight, an 1824. And last week I found two walking liberty half dollars on the same property both 1942's. It's been a good week and a half. Keep swinging.
Thank you, I was really happy with the finds at this site especially due to the conditions. That’s awesome you finally found your first large cent, Finding those never gets old. I’d be really happy finding 1/2 dollar but you found two in their walkers, totally amazing. Glad to see you’re out hunting And having success. I’ll hopefully be out this week to detect a new site, just have to see how the week goes. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with any of your hunts you have coming up.
Great video Kenny! The rounded brickwork on that house is beautiful. I'm amazed how well that has held up.
Thank you David. I like it whenever a house has that Victorian style curve Built into it. It’s call how back in the day they used to put so much more time Into the style the house versus these box type things that were living in today.
Love your videos from one Nox 800 user to the other.
Thank you Tracey, Where did you like the videos and enjoy what you’re seeing. I’ve enjoyed every minute that I’ve spent with this machine so far, Very glad that I made the decision to get one. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up and take care.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I love the fact that you show the display when detecting, because often times I never know if I should dig something if the TDI's are too jumpy.
I'm truly learning a lot from you and love everything about your channel.
Happy Hunting!
Very nicely presented. As always enjoy your videos. You are climbing up the metal detecting charts. And well deserved. I just seen the simplex is coming out end of August. From the adds I am seeing. Liking what u see. Especially for some water hunts. From one youtuber to another kudos and keep putting those vids out, you got it going on! AquaLand Relics
Thank you I try my best with these videos and the information I provided in them. It takes a lot of legwork, homework, meetings in studying in order to pull all this off. When I first started I knew nothing about my editing software, videography skills, TH-cam, and all the settings that are on my camera which is actually a phone and order make decent video. It’s been one really long learning process has been frustrating at times but rewarding at the same time. I just want to take people on the hunt with me since I don’t hunt with anybody and share my experiences. I don’t really follow a common trend with all the Metal Detecting lingo, trying to get subscribers and followers by asking every five minutes, trying to get somebody to sponsor me so I can sell T-shirts and stickers and all that good stuff. I just want to go out Metal Detecting everybody else does but I just wanna show what I’m doing. Been a normal person you meet at Metal Detecting instead of some superhero. Thank you for your kind comments, I greatly appreciate them. Good luck on any hunts you have coming up And thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Still checking in from time to time, hope all is well.
Excellent finds and video!
I was really happy with the fines on this site especially since the conditions weren’t all that great. I tried to make a video on the first day out but due to all the traffic noise and wind all the audio is messed up in the video that I took. So I just combined a couple decks from that one with this one today and made this video. I’m not sure how many times I will go back to the site because it’s not all that enjoyable even though I know there’s more to be found out there.Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
glad to see you again nice coins
Yes I’ve been tied up a little bit this summer with other stuff to take care of as well as hobbies. I’m trying to get out as much as I can but sites that I have Need to have sufficient rain in order to hunt them. It’s kind of a hard balance during the summer months getting time as well as the right conditions to Metal Detect. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
I sold the v3I and purchased the nox. Love it. Thanks!!! Hope all is well.
I love your videos. You give us great information to use. Nice little coin spill there 👏👏
I'm saving to get an equinox now. After watching all of these metal detecting TH-cam videos; I'm now enamored with wanting to metal detect 😀
Have a great rest of your weekend!
I’m glad you like the videos I try my best with them. Metal detecting is a great hobby but it comes with challenges so be ready for those. There are a lot of metal detecting videos out there that only show the good without any of the bad or challenges. Take your time with whatever machine you end up buying and learn all the settings and what they are actually Doing whenever you change them. Any machine out there is going to do the job it was designed to do and it is up to the operator to get skilled enough utilizing the machine to speak its language and find what they are looking for. If you decide to go with the equinox it is a great machine and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it the whole time I’ve owned it. It’s took me about six months to save up enough money to get one, just make sure to call a dealer that sells them before you make a purchase online over a website that deals Metal Detectors. The price difference between a small dealer and a big website is quite a difference
Kenny I hope your doing well my friend, it’s been a while since you’ve released a new video
I came here tonight to say exactly the same thing. A couple of buddies of mine have said the same. We're getting concerned.
trolltaker yes I’m getting worried myself, he’s such a nice guy. Hopefully he’s just been busy with work, the house and all👍
@@bigshow6200 And still no reply from Kenny. I see other comments above this where others are expressing concern.
@@bigshow6200 I think we're all hoping that is all that it is, work.
Thank you bud for the response take your time come back strong family is more important can't wait to see you new videos when you make them take care
Great information
Great demo on cutting plugs
Thanks!
You’re welcome and I’m glad you find the information I put in the videos helpful. I get a lot of static from people on how I dig my plugs but I have been doing it that way for many years with no problems. It’s all about technique and not so much how many sides get cut and how many sides get ripped. I wish you luck with any Metal Detecting that you have going on coming up and thank you for checking out the video
Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy them and it’s good to hear that you and other folks on here are enjoying them, makes all the effort worth it. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up and thank you for tuning in to check out the video
A Stanley Fatmax is a digging tool the same as yours but it has a v in the tip. It's not sharp but I sharpened mine with the grinder so that it will cut through rots etc...
Keep up the good work. I've watched all of your vids now.. im here in ohio aswell and its tough digging sometimes but theres always that one coin/find that keeps you going ! Winter is coming.. hope ur next site provides the goodies!
Hey 🐿️! Awesome finds you got there! 🤩👍 That coin spill was nice, love the silvers! 🤩👍
Hello DG27, thank you. I had a pretty good time out on this site but the EMI, traffic and other conditions make it somewhat hard to detect. It was nice to find a coin spill with older coins.. seems I only find spills of clad stuff anymore. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck with any detecting you will be doing. Gearing up for some spare time since school is going back into session. :)
I have read that going to a single frequency on the 800 will quiet the EMI. I haven’t ran into EMI severe enough to try it, but it’s worth a shot. Good video as usual!👍🏻
Yes switching from multi to single Will help out in high EMI situations. Whenever you do get into that situation try switching between Each one until you find the one that’s quietest. The only problem with that is if it’s the 40 kHz that’s the quietest you’re going to miss out on any high tones just because it’s geared towards the low tones or low conductors like gold. I’ve only ran my equinox in single frequency a couple times, the performance great
Hey, would you be able to make a video covering all your current gear?
Love the videos. Hope they keep coming!
Thank you Mike and glad that you like the videos. I’ll keep doing these videos as long as I can.
Great hunt
Thank you Charles. Hopefully in about two hours from now I’ll be back out hunting again, then something a little different this time going out on my farm down in Kentucky. There is rock walls that were built back when Kentucky was still Kentucky County Virginia, pretty old stuff, Irish settlers.
I suggest to carry a small pair of pruning shears in your pouch for roots.
James Second that!!! I got a pair of Fiskars I keep in my bag and love them.
I carry a pair of shears but it’s in my main bag and not in my side pouch, I try to run things as light as I can because of the long hours I spent in the field. It would just be nice if they would put a hook on the side of the digging spade To bust the roots
You said that you were looking for a digging tool with a forked end, look for a Stanley Fatmax digger -
www.stanleygardenproducts.com/product/fatmax-ultimate-digging-knife/
Good and strong steel, serated edge, big ledge to make it easy to push into hard soil, and that split tip that you want.
I found some at the local Marc’s grocery store a few months ago for $5.00 each !! Great bargain.
You can probably find them on eBay or Amazon if you’re not near a Marc’s
Nice little spill, mercs are always fun. 😎
I don’t find a spill very often but when I do it’s awesome. This year I haven’t found very many Mercury dimes so I was glad to see this one. Thank you for checking out the video
EMI will drop or go up depending on the usage in the lines. Fall in the evening is better than summer in the afternoon
Always enjoy your videos Kenny. I do live in Canada in southern Ontario actually just due north of you across the lake.couple weeks ago I dug an American sheild nickel.detail is pretty good except where the date is unfortunately so I can't quite pull a date other then they were only minted from 1866-83. Actually dug it less then 200 ft from the shore of lake Erie.keep the great vids coming.
Thank you and I am glad that you enjoy the videos. I have not been able to hunt along Lake Erie but I do have a permission on a beach up there that is private. That is great that you found a shielded nickel, those are always fun to find. I have found on those coins that the date is typically always missing but at least you know a date range so you can know more about the site that you are digging. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with any hunts that you have coming up
Awesome video SNS. If you would what kind of finds pouch is that you use. It’s sweet.
as always great video beating myself up for not getting the nox thanks for bringing me along
Thank you for your kind comment I try my best with these videos, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Don’t beat yourself up for not getting the equinox, with any machine that you have you can be very successful. The biggest thing about it is getting that coil over top of the target that you want to find. Just get out with whatever machine you’re operating right now and keep swinging and good stuff will come out of it and you will be successful.
Great videos! Good quality ..just subscribed I watched all of them can’t wait for more..There are a lot of great old houses and cellar holes where i live in ct..New England in general..Have you ever took a trip and detected in New England yet?
I know I say it every time but thanks for the setting setups. Congrats on the finds
You’re welcome wild man, I try to include as much as I can in the videos to help all levels of folks in this hobby. What I am doing Set up wise might not be for everyone, but at least it points people in the right direction. I just want everyone to succeed on their hunts.
if only you could rent or test drive these new machines it would make deciding what to get easier I have a bunch of them but my favorite is still my deus I love your videos thanks for taking the time
Someone that I know which lives in the Northeast has a place that they can go to and test drive any machine, they can even take it home for a couple days before they buy it. I wish they were more dealers like that around, it would save a lot of people a lot of money as well as headaches. I would like to try out one of those machines someday but they paid $1200 just to try it is hard for me to do. The Deus Is a proven machine and there are thousands of people that love it, I feel like I’m missing something by not having one. Maybe someday I’ll try to get one. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck Metal Detecting.
When you coming back buddy?
Great video and good hunt. The vanquish I herd was going to be a lower price machine like the garret 400. That should be a great detector for beginners. Keep up the good work and good luck on next hunt. I’m looking forward to next video.
Thank you, this was a fun hunt but it was also a really hard hunt due to all the noise and EMI. As more information comes out on the vanquish I’ll continue to draw a conclusion on if I’m going to get one or not, but for now I plan on going ahead and getting one. I seem to always go for the top machines by price when there’s a lot of other really nice machines that cost half The price. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Just checking in. Haven’t seen anything from you in awhile. Hope all is well.
Things are going fine but super busy.. this Sunday I will be out detecting and if I can still do "one man band video and detecting" I'll have a video out sometime next week. Thanks for checking in.
Anytime. I know you’ve been itching to get out. Understand about about been super busy. I hardly get out myself these days. Taking care my 2 little ones plus my grandson. So they keep me pretty busy. Will be glad to see you with a video out.
Enjoy your videos. Could you please tell me what kind of finds bag you have and where to find?
Kenny, I hunt with a Fisher F-5 and I dig with a serrated right edged Fiskars tool much like a Lesche (sp). When I bought it, it had that exact notch In the tip that you mentioned. I found it too difficult to dig with so I modified it by grinding it away and giving It a sharp rounded tip. Keep the great vids coming, I look forward to them weekly!
Thank you for the info and I didn’t know that there was a digging tool out there already with the notch. I might try putting a hook tight notch on the side of my digger and see how that works. I can see just like you explained that having the notch at the tip would make digging somewhat hard. I like fisher machines And have always had an interest to purchase one and start using it. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video intercom meaning it’s very helpful.
Nice hunt. I havent beeped a yard in years. I do fields and rivers. Im not comfortable digging in strangers yards
Thank you. Typically only in the summertime do I get in yards that have standing houses on them, most of the time I’m only in farm fields where the house fell down in the 1800s. Sometimes landowners or a little odd but I’ll do anything and deal with anything just to be able to dig in the yard that’s interesting. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video And good luck out there metal detecting.
Great video
Thank you and I’m glad you like the video
Are you planning to make more videos now that crops are being harvested? I really hope so, as I enjoy your method of detecting and your experience on the Equinox 800.
Nice hunt.
Thank you Thomas, Glad that you enjoyed the video and good luck with any hunt you may have coming up.
If you look at the video Vanquish part 3 it shows the control panel face (that is the whole video). It has the frequency symbol for multi Freq. So it must be a multi freq machine. I will be curious to see more details about freqs, and how it compares to the Equinox. Great video.
Thanks Sam, I haven’t seen that video three of the vanquish yet. If it shows the multi frequency signal then it must be a multi frequency machine. It would be nice if they had another multi frequency which had totally different frequency kilohertz. Even if it’s not a single frequency I’ll probably still get it. So far I have nothing but praise for what Minelab Produces. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video as well as commenting.
I to sold the V3i and have been using the ORX you might give it some thought. It's fast and very light! Great Video 👍
I’ve actually been trying to sell my V3i For about a month now on craigslist with no luck. Once I do I’ll get back into another machine in the fall to run alongside the equinox. The ORX Seems like a really good machine and I actually didn’t even know about it until you mentioned it and then researched it. Thanks for the info and for checking out the video.
Nice little video Kenny. Nice to see you back. Any video on your trip to Austin TX?
Thanks... no video from the trip to TX.. wen't out to pick up antiques my wife purchased by auction and to visit friends.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I see....she gets her antiques, you get your detectors. Nice trade off.
It’s all about balance. LOL the old saying about Happy wife happy life is very true.
There have been a couple places I've hunted with the 800 that the EMI almost drove me insane lol. Still had my best hunt two days ago in one of those spots. Double IHP day and 5 Wheaties. Thanks for sharing your hunt and finds. Take care.
I have ran into a couple places that the EMI has been really bad. Seems that I can manage to EMI a lot better with the equinox than I can with the V3i. Even if the sensitivity is not set up around 20 or 21, more like somewhere around 14 or 15, I still get really good performance out of the equinox. That’s awesome You pulled to Indian cents And wheats out of a spot like this. Congrats on that. Glad to see you’re still out hunting in this heat. I’m not hurting as much lately but I’m trying my best due to the heat as well as dry yards. Thank you for watching the video and good luck with any hunt you have coming up
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , I hear you about the heat and it's been dry here also so I'm staying out of yards and park areas until we get rain again. I won a detector from Adventure Archeology which is a Fisher F75 to complement my 800. Looking forward to learning it and comparing. Take care.
Fantastic vid.
Thank you and I’m glad you like the video. I tried my best with this so it’s great to get positive feedback about what I’m doing. Good luck with any hunt you have coming up
Another great video thanks !
Thank you Michael, I tried my best with these videos and it’s great to hear that you enjoy them.
Hey squirrel hope all is well. Miss seeing your vids. Take care my friend. Jammy
Everything is good, just summer break for me due to waaaay too much going on to hit the field to detect. Soon I will be back out. I haven't even updated my machine yet so I have some catching up to do. Thanks for checking in.
Cool finds, sorry about the reed.
Do you prefer your Minelab or your White's? I am considering an upgrade.
Minelab... I have actually sold both of my White's machines. If I had to pick between the White's I used to operate it would be the Sport over the V3i.
Have see u in a while...hope alls well...looking forward to a new video.
Good video multi freq. machines are the way to go now there leaving others in the dust.
Thank you and glad you like the video. Yes the multifrequency machines are great but it’s always nice to have a single frequency around. Between my Whites V3i and the equinox I have learned a lot about the capability of a multi frequency machine and high EMI sites. I’m really not for sure where I will end up next with whatever machine I will get it but I’m trying to get another single frequency to replace my single frequency MX sport. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video as well as commenting.
very educational.. Make me want to get a Equinox 800
Another great video,!
Thank you Edwin I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a pleasure making these.
I just picked up the EQUINOX 800 today. I've never touched a detector before tell today. What is the best way to get started with this. My house I live at has a lot of trash in the ground. I live on a one acre lot.
We need you back bud. No better videos than yours out there! Give us an update! Hope all is well!
Thanks for sharing the hunt. I always look forward to your posts. Anytime you find silver or other old coins it's a good day. HH :)
You’re welcome and I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s a pleasure to take everyone along with me on these hunts through making these videos.You are very correct anytime you find anything that’s cool like a coin, especially a silver coin, it’s an awesome day out in the field. I like to find coins but I also like to find about anything else as long as it’s not clad. After about the fourth or fifth piece of clad I typically move to another part of the yard, it’s just the way that I’ve been since I started Metal Detecting. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
I am and old detectorist and used a Whites 5900 Di Pro Plus which was top of the line at the time. I am looking at getting back into the hobby and have looked at the Minelab Equinox 800 or else the Whites MXT All Pro and I am split over which one to get. Naturally, I am partial to Whites but numerous folks suggested to go with the Minelab instead saying it's a much better detector. Since you have real world experience with both, what would be your suggestion? Thanks.
I have been Metal Detecting since I was 16 years old and now I am 39. The first metal detector I bought was a White’s As well as every metal detector I bought after that one until about six months ago I bought a Minelab. I Used the XLT until I purchase the V3i As well as the sport, I had success with both of those machines but for some reason I wanted to try the equinox. Once I actually did I couldn’t believe the difference in the enjoyment level when I was out detecting. It seems like most of my sites came alive with all kinds of tones and signals which led to great finds. I know that this is a public comment but until whites does something a little different then repackaging the same thing over and over and over again I probably won’t buy another one of their machines. They act like making a metal detector waterproof is space Age technology where the other manufacturers have that in a base design feature. I know that everyone says that the V3i has the best processor ever made by man but in my opinion the equinox kind of walks all over it, it’s lightning fast and I don’t even have to set 15 settings absolutely correct to have it lightning fast. I was always told that I set my V3i up wrong But I spent countless hours on the whites electronics forum, Studying the user manual and the advanced user manual, talking with friends online as well as sharing thoughts with other V3i Users to get the best performance. I drew a lot of conclusions on my own pertaining to the soil types that I was in in my area and got proficient at using my machine. After owning that machine for so many years I learned a lot about how metal detectors work snd the settings which has helped me. But, when I change to the equinox I found that not having to deal with all those settings and feeling like I set something up wrong on a hunt and missed all kinds of items, the hunt was much more enjoyable. I actually feel like I find many more interesting and valuable items now and when I leave a sight I don’t question myself on my settings, which makes a world of difference in enjoying the hobby
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you for your real world honest opinion. You helped me make a final decision as to which one I will purchase and it will be the Equinox! You were just the person I was looking for when I came across your videos who had experience with both brands. I know that Minelab has been building solid detectors for years! Back when the GPAA was doing their shows on the Outdoor channel, they often used Minelab detectors while gold prospecting. I won't be doing much of that as I live in the desert southwest of West Texas. All of my detecting has been and will be coin and relic hunting. Thanks again for your response and suggestion. Happy hunting!
Always learn something on your vids, thanks.
I’m glad that you get info from the videos that helps you out. I try to include as much as I can so all levels of expertise can pick up something, even if it is just something simple. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Nice dig! Any time shiny comes out of the ground it is a good day!
Yes sir, any shiny stuff makes for a good day. Thank you for watching the video and for commenting.
Great video my friend always love the tips and tricks you give us congrats on the silver HH
Thank you and glad that you can take some stuff out of these videos and use it on your hunt. I try to include things in my videos even if it’s the smallest details just to provoke thoughts as well as expose people to things that they may not have seen yet, just improve the hunt for even one person. Thank you for the congrats as well as tuning in to check out the video
Have you ever used the equinox in single frequency in high emi? I find it really helps.
Hope everything is ok Kenny miss your great videos
wondering if you tried any of the single freq modes on the nox to combat the emi ?
Always enjoy your vids, hope you will be putting out some new content soon. GL + HH
Hope all is good. Have not seen your new vids from you
You can manually change frequencies. It isn't good for all scenarios but 40kh is much more quiet
Yes I change into single frequency quite a bit to test and see which actual frequency is being affected by EM I. I also check on Questionable targets which frequency is actually reading the best to make a better judgment on what the target might be. I have noticed that the 40 kHz does good on very small gold targets and rings out ultra loud on nickels and low conductors.
Are you sure the Vanquish will be a single frequency machine? I've seen at many places that it could be a simultaneous multi frequencies but at low-mid price range.
No I am not sure that it is a single frequency machine. Since I have made this video it has been brought to my attention that there is a third video on the vanquish which shows the control panel and a multi frequency setting. The vanquish seems to be very elusive and mysterious with all the ads that I have seen. I know the answer fine and it builds up the hype but it really makes it hard for people trying to make the decision If they want to buy one or not. Gets confusing at times.
A little silver, some wheats and a few relics I would say you did great! Did you ever use the Garrett machines? I have had a Whites dfx and now the Garrett at max. I would take the Whites back any day. I guess I will ask Santa for a equinox this year to try out.
I was glad to hit the silver. There’s still quite a bit of stuff that can be found in the yard but I think I’m going to Move on because of the EMI. I have not used any Garrett machines Over the years but I have had an interest to use them. One of my friends about 10 years ago had a Garrett and they enjoyed it. Most all of the people I watch on TH-cam use Garrett machines so I kind of feel like I can use one by watching them.
Nice find and hunt. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, I was really happy with the finds from this hunt. The silver is always a surprise and always welcome. Thank you for watching
Great video Kenny. You cut plugs like I do, your cuts go almost straight down as apposed to a steeper angle which kills a wider swath of the root system. Not many of mine turn brown. When you changed to the 6” coil on the Nox, did you have to factory reset the machine? Thanks again
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes I try to keep my cuts vertical so the roots have a nice ball of dirt around them. I have not needed to reset the machine any whenever I change coil’s, I haven’t heard of people needing to do that.
Square Nail Squirrel I know you need to reset the machine when changing coils with Garrett products, I was just curious about the Minelab products, thanks again- Bob
Did you update your Equinox with the latest firmware last year? How are you finding it? There were people that didn't like the new update stated on the minelab website.
I bought my equinox about six months ago and it was already updated with the new firmware. The charging cable that you have which has a USB end on it is how you connected to your computer to do the update. Beyond that, I don’t know much more about doing the update. I feel that the update is important because of the coins on edge affect and not being able to locate them. I am still fairly new to the equinox with only about 60 hours of use on the machine, maybe more or less than that but somewhere near that many. Try to research what the firmware update actually did to help the machine to help you decide if it is the right choice for you or not, but from what I know I think it would be a good idea To update.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I really appreciate you taking the time explaining your thoughts and experiences. Thank you.
Good hunt !!! Always want to ask - where you take those old land plans and maps ?? Here in Russia we take them in the open inet resources, but also possible to buy them (of rare years or with increased accuracy and quality). Thanx for answer ! Best wishes, Andy.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The old maps I find online as well as in local records. Most of the old atlases I find through the library of Congress here in the United States, they hold a lot archived maps and information that is hard to find. It’s all free and online which makes access very nice. I try not to buy anything because it runs in a lot of money, There are websites out there that have the same information I find on the Library of Congress but they have hijacked information and try to make money off of it when in actuality it’s public record and free.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Wonderful !!!! Wish to live in USA !
Good stuff! Nice finds on the silvers, and the spill. You ever tried running 10khz under harsh emi conditions? A guy I work with told me he remembers spending wheats all through the 60’s and some of the 70’s. Great to see a new video from you. I haven’t been getting out as much as I usually do with work and being so busy, but hey I might even pick up the vanquish when it comes out with all this OT money 😂😂
Thanks Adam. I have tried to switch to single frequency a couple times and I run in the one that’s typically not affected most by EM I and not the frequencies targeted for gold like the 40 kHz. I just pick the one that’s the quietest and run with it and it seems to do good but the machine does act differently. I’m so used to running the V3i that when faced with EMI issues I just have to turn the machine down very low, I need to start remembering that I have a Minelab now. 🙂
I haven’t been hunting as much as I usually do either, it’s hot in the ground is dry. I just scored a really good site to metal detect, So I might get out a couple times after work this week because this week and I’m going to Pennsylvania to Metal Detect. Maybe in the fall you and I can hook up and go somewhere to detect, I’m hoping to have quite a few fields to hunt this winter. I hope all is well and don’t work too hard
What is the type tool pouch you use? Looking to get an all in one pouch. Great video and love your channel.
Are you still going to Pound The Ground Adirondack Coast? If so I can't wait to meet you. Can I add your channel to the list of TH-cam channels attending the event in my Sunday video?
I didn't make it, I was in Texas again the weekend the event took place. Deej.. you have persmission to utilize anything from my channel or reference anytime you wish. Sorry for late return of a reply.
Good evening great finds I enjoy watching your videos, yet I got some anxieties and I guess because I want to go hunting I do notice that you use Equinox and also the MX sport I'm looking to buy the MX sport because I can go underwater and I'm running out of land spots, in your honest opinion would you recommend it. I use a White's MXT E series, and I've been hunting for about 30 years. I really appreciate the time thanks again Marc
