Thanks so much for showing the different settings and how to get to each one. Just got my 800 last week. Watching you set up the machine and you showing and telling the target numbers helps so much. Congrats on the large cent, CW General Service and other great relics. Always enjoy watching. Take care.
This is great and I’m glad it will help you get up and running faster seeing what I’m doing. Take your time getting used to the noise... it good noise though. Your going to hear everything now with the loud bangs being what your after. It takes a bit to get used to the language of he machine, I’m still getting used to it, but once you start speaking it your hunt will really advance to the next level. I’m continuing to try stuff out and as I try, I keep everyone on track with what I’m trying. I have been hitting these farm fields due to the short amount of time left to hunt them before planting takes place. I still haven’t hit silver but I’m sure that day will be soon. Just not a lot of silver at the sites I’m hunting historically, but if there is, typically it’s an awesome one. This coming weekend I’m taking the V3i and the 800 out to do a test within the video just to see how they compare. Should be interesting. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video and very glad you got an Equinox... in my opinion... you made an awesome move doing so.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , I watched a lot of TH-cam to make the decision on which detector to buy as my first lol. It was between the 800 and the Max. I'm glad I have nothing to compare to. I'm learning that same thing. Go for the loud clear signal or you will be digging deep stuff all day. I haven't played yet with anything but the factory settings but once I get used to it I look forward to being able to adjust them. Thanks again and take care.
Great video fast paced and not a bunch of boring swinging or other fluff. I like how you showed the numbers before each recovery. I hope to hit a couple Ohio fields myself this weekend with my 800. Good luck out there!
Thank you, I try to keep it entertaining. I have done a ton of fast pace videos for land surveying on Instagram and it took me about two years to find my style.. I parlay it over it TH-cam so the hunt can be portrayed as it truly is and be entertaining. Good luck with your hunt this weekend and I hope you dig up some great finds... gonna be muddy but should be dry enough the holes don't fill up with water as soon as you dig. Thanks for commenting and for checking out the video.
Thank you and greatly appreciate it. The finds turned out to be awesome on this site, so very glad that I tried different setting out and also checked places where I was for sure needed plowed again before going back. Thanks for checking out the video.
What kind of diggers pouch you wearing like the big pouch to put stuff plus it hold's your tool ? and that was great hunt and video rnjoy the way you give the history of the property and the cool finds you find HH&GL
Thank you and it’s great you liked the video. I try my best putting these together. 🙂 I included a copy of a reply I made to someone else about the blue pouch to help me with saving time making replies to comments, hopefully ok with that. thank you for checking the video out. The blue pouch is something I have been working on for a couple years. I have made three versions with the 4th in the process of being made. it's take a lot of field use and improvements to make it work really good. Once I find more time, I will continue on my design patent process which is currently held up due to funds and then start hand making limited quantities of these. There are other diggers out there that I've made them for which also have helped in sharing whats needed improved, they hunt pretty much every day professionally so the real tests happen with them.
Thank you, very glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate the feedback from folks and am thankful you and there are on here checking out what I’m doing. Takes a lot of work getting permissions, preparing, going out hunting and editing, etc. So... makes all that worth it with everyone enjoying. 🙂
Was using Garrett but now we run the 800 Nox and an MXT AllPro. Both machines are very good, the best I have used. Both have great capabilities. The Minelab has great seperation and recovery speed but lacks depth but the AllPro gets very deep and is very good at ID. We love both machines. Love the videos my friend, keep on cracking!
Great information on the All Pro... I have always had an interest in those machines but never bought one. Great to see you have found a good combo of machines to take on each site.. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck with any upcoming hunts.
Thank you... really enjoying the finds from this site. The 800 is really performing awesome, i’m very, very happy I finally got the money to buy one. It’s quickly becoming the only machine I’m going to need.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 hi Bart again, I was watching a nox800 tutorial and they were saying anytime you changed any setting at all to reset the noise cancel. This is done buy holding the detector PARALLEL to the ground when noise canceling. Also they were saying to noise cancel in different areas of your search area. I think that the whole tutorial is worth seeing on TH-cam.
Hi SN🐿️! 😃 Great video 😃👍, Love all your finds, especially that beautiful large cent that was waiting for you on the surface and that decorative brooch, it's very pretty! 😍👍 Can't wait to see your next adventure! 🤗😘
Hello DG27.. 🙂 thank you and I’m glad you liked the video. Ha! Yes, that large cent was just laying out there all green and ready to be picked up. This one is in wonderful condition and a Coronet versus a Maetron... little older of a coin. Thank you very much for checking out the video and it’s a pleasure to share the hunt. 🙂 good luck with any detecting you have coming up... find some gold!!!!
You couldn't contain your excitement. I would guess you like what you see from the Equinox. When I first got mine I had the same experience. It only gets better with time. Don't forget to do a noise cancel each time you change modes. If it stays chatty turn the sensitivity down. You can turn it down as low as 10 with no real lose of depth. A 6" coil will help to get between the nails. Keep playing with the iron bias and recovery speed. I can't wait to see what coins are in that field . Great video. Keep'em coming.
Ha! Yes, I couldn't really keep my excitement from coming through. I can't get over how awesome the new machine is. The hobby for me just got a major boost in enjoyment as well as success... I'm going to continue trying things out to get a feel for the performance of each setting... starting to get a feel but it's still going to take awhile. Thanks for checking the video out.
Great hunt. I read an article about a year ago about buttons. It said that buttons with a hump around the shank were tombac. I can't remember where I read the article and I am not 100% sure that it's true, but, it may be a starting point to ID it.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I have heard that as well, I have also heard that it's due to a "spun" button although I'm not sure what that is. LOL I wish there was an awesome book that had info on buttons out there to help identify dates, etc. I have a military one but it doesn't cover anything civilian. Thanks for the commenting and sharing your information and also thanks for checking out the video. Remember the "Eye of Providence" button I found... I believe that metal type is Tombac. Seemed there were quite a few folks commenting on that.
I recognize this site from your videos instantly as if I have been there lol. Keep the great videos coming, love watching them...when I'm not digging myself lol. Keep saving history brother!
That's great to know. I try to take everyone hunting with me and knowing that you can relate to the sites is really awesome. lots of folks dig a site once or twice but I always go back a few times just to see what happens, glad I have been going back over sites with the Equinox.. really pulling up come cool stuff. Thanks for checking out the video.
You're very welcome! I love how you show maps and explain the historic part of your hunts. To me that's very important and great stuff to know. Love the researching! I am subscribed to your channel and have watched all your videos and love every one.
Hey enjoy seeing other detectorist from other states Im here in Nc 2021 best yr so far two csa buttons, nc state seal still looking for the cobs. Run ctx,nox 800 very great machines in the iron. Keep on keepin on, to the good digs.
Field 2 with a high recovery and 50 tones is all I use. Equinox falses quite a bit in iron but it hits harder on non ferrous. I like to hear all the iron when I hunt too. Good luck
I’m favoring the field 2 as well. I ran tests on a wheat penny yesterday at an old ballfield. I have found a bunch of the wheats in a small area out there in the past. I hadn’t dug it but took a guess that it was. I tried park 1&2, field 1&2 and found that the signal was super strong In field 2. I then dug it and found that it actually was a Wheat can’t. I almost feel like to wipe a site completely clean you need to run version 1&2 on a site since they favor opposite sites of the spectrum of target conductivity. I haven’t hit a silver coin yet to comment on that, I’m hoping it will be soon.
Thank you!! I can't get over how much this equinox is changing my hunt... things are going to get dangerous once I really have a feel for it.. no targets will be safe.. LOL. Even if I miss a bunch of stuff I'll still think no targets are safe and that's all that matters... confidence. Thanks for checking out the video, take care.
New subscriber here as well! I agree with some of the other comments about showing how you setup and why! THAT is some great info and makes me think about my setups. I mostly beach hunt out in CA but also frequent a lot of parks. This 800 is by far the most customizable/user friendly machine out there and it's friends like you who take the time (and I know these videos take time) to keep us informed and out there having fun! Thanks again!!
Very true, I try to dig as many signals as I can, move fast and get to the next to help probability. Thank you for the kind comments and glad you enjoyed the video... thank you very much for checking it out and for commenting.
your commentaries within your findings are very helpful on the fly examples of how to tweak the nox800 and why you did it. it made me think. keep that up. new subscriber. thanks.
Thanks.. great to hear it's helping. I will get back to this type of tweaking and tuning once I get done with some V3i comparison videos. I will be phasing out the V3i from my main tool for detecting and eventually be running the 800 full time with a mix of the MX Sport. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting. Take care.
Good Job. Always Remember if you Hold the power button for about 10 Seconds it will pop up “FP” (Factory Preset). That way if you get adventurous with the settings to find out what works best for you. Then you have a simple way to start over if you don’t like the settings results you are getting. Remember, You can’t find it if your coil doesn’t pass over it. Happy Hunting.
Thanks for the info, I actually have t tried the reset button yet. It’s nice that the option is there to do that, just start from a clean slate. The designers of the machine really did a great job although the arm cuff is a little weak... I’m working on a replacement. That’s very true about the passing over the target, I also tell folks a lot that the good targets have to be there to find good relics/coins. I rarely find silver on old sites like this... I never expect it because they just aren’t there very often.
Hey thanks for the vid! It's fun to watch you learning the Nox. I can tell your starting to appreciate what a great machine it is, the recovery speed and target separation are some of it's best aspects. It really is a quality machine and I love mine. GL and HH!
Your very welcome, I enjoy making and sharing these video. It’s a pleasure to have folks like you on here checking the videos out. So far the process of learning the 800 is really awesome and fairly simple to understand. My biggest change is the quality of the signal.. my hunt style is being adapted to fit the speed and difference of the signals. I’ll take a little bit to get proficient but that take place with any machine. I try to describe it as the language the machine speaks. Right now I’m trying to get down to the specifics on defining a target that may have a slight uplift in tone or special crack in the signal to assure what I’m about to dig is a good or bad target such as flat iron. The strong signals are easy but being able to define the iffy ones will take time. I have noticed there has been a minor decrease in the amount of good versus bad targets I’m digging which is very nice. Thanks for checking the video out and take care.
Thanks! I’m really amazed by the separation as I continue to learn about the capabilities of this machine. Really enjoying it. Thanks for checking out the video and nice find the other day with the coin in the little decorative box... that was awesome.
Good job on the LC and buttons. Was hoping you would do a house yard that you have pounded with your whites machines to see what you missed. Farm fields are constantly turned over and its not the same as hunting a yard that has never been plowed. Maybe one of these days you'll have time to do a yard that you think you cleaned out with the whites machines. Then you will begin to understand the true power of the Equinox 800.
I need to keep hitting my farm fields due to the low remaining time until I don’t have them anymore. They will be planted soon and it will be game over on them until late fall. The fields I’m hunting haven’t been touch all winter, I’ve hunted these sites as they are now without being plowed, etc. Eventually I will get in town and start doing some yards to see what happens, should be fun. I have 14 homes inner city lined up so to hunt, there will be plenty of time to understand the power in the machine. I’m really feeling the difference as it is for the shirt time I’ve owned it... far superior. Thank yo for checking the video out and take care.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 The reason why im saying to hit a house yard and not a field is because coins and other metallic objects that have remained in the ground UNDISTURBED for lets say 100 years develop their own electromagnetic sphere over time. Whites machines do not have the tech that minelab has to process these targets. That's why in my opinion, whites technology is outdated and why I stand so strongly by the equinox 800 and its tech as being far superior to anything that whites is making. Youll see the power when you start pulling out the 10 inch deep silver dime in the yard that you walked over 100 times with whites and it never even registered.
Glad to hear that, helps to have feedback about what’s good and what’s not. I’m hoping to be available tomorrow night for your live show... I’m glad you do those. 👍🏻 Very enjoyable and a great community of folks.
Thank you, this hunt was a lot of fun. I really enjoy learning the new machine and the differences in operation. thank you for checking the video out, take care. 🙂
Love the core-tex jacket. I had one like that when I was in the Marines. Today I asked and received my first permission. I did some research and found a map of this old town. The gentleman who owned the house said his house was made back in the fifties. I found some clad coins and shingle nails. I also found a silver ring. Thank you for some of your lessons.
Thanks, I use that jacket all the time. Very useful... I have another but it's tiger stripe airforce... where I favor the Woodland. Thanks great you got your first permission today, just ask, all they can say is not and politely walk away.. .someone will say yes eventually. :) Great score on the silver ring, those are always awesome to find. Glad you gaining info on here to use on your hunt... good luck with any upcoming hunts you may have and take care. Thanks for your service.. means a lot to have a safe country to do as my freedoms allow me to do from folks like you.
Thanks. 👍🏻 That large cent is in awesome condition, like it was dropped soon after being minted with no circulation. The jewelry thing I’m a little perplexed on since there are two holes at the bottom. Either way it’s a great piece to find and very happy with it. For some reason those kinds of finds are the best. 🙂 thank you for checking out the video.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. That’s awesome you lick stuff up from what I’m doing... right now with every swing and signal dug I’m learning a lot about the new machine. Thank you for checking out the video, take care.
Thanks, I was super happy with the find. The last one I found here had a big dent in it. I really enjoy the uniform buttons, especially the old ones like this. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 can you please tell me if your grey ghost headphones are the original or platinum and how you feel about the sounds i ordered a pair received them,wondering whats up they sound terrible...was using whites which have broken several times but i feel sound great?
Seriously loving the Equinox. Thanks man and I hope to be back out soon. After these Saturday classes are over and your back up and running again I need to head up your way. Talk soon.
Well my friend. once again you have taken me on an adventure and it was good. I have the 600 and it has performed flawlessly! I would have gotten the 800 but my budget was a bit too tight for it at the time. I am really glad you have the 800. The way you edit your video's make it like a short adventure movie of sorts. Your narrating is good with the short history of items you find and what was going on in that area at the time. That is what it is all about when I am out there. My mind goes to another day in time, imagining who was doing what and how that item, relic or coin ended up where I found it. As I said before my friend, " YOU ROCK!". I have a lot to learn about the machine but it is happening slowly for me due to work and family. Please keep up the great work on your video's. Being a Battleship sailor, it was always an adventure being on the high seas and going through storms, also as we dropped anchor on the coast of many different countries. I have laid hands on the walls of the Panama canal as we transited through...imagining all the different people involved in its creation. All those who passed in its creation going through the challenges set before them. I enjoyed every moment of being on U.S.S. IOWA BB-61 as a 5"38 gunner. I miss those days...Metal detecting gives me adventure back on a personal level. It takes my mind away from the grind of everyday life. I absolutely love digging up history and discovering what was once lost reliving the moment and how it got there. My friend, your good people and I wish there were more with the mindset we both share. Take care, God bless and keep it up!
Thank you for the kind words Gunnersmate62... very much appreciated. I try my best on there to provide good videos to portray the hobby in it's entirety because there is so many things to enjoy about it other than the actual items we dig. Thank you for your service and I highly respect that... in a serious way. It's nice we can relate on the Equinox machines since they are almost identical other than some minor adjustments and the gold finding frequencies. Thanks again for commenting as well as checking out the video... take care.
I definitely think a 6 inch coil would work wonders in that iron nightmare. Thanks for posting another great video. I been looking forward to you posting another equinox video. The 800 sounds like it's a beast.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. If the machine with an 11” can do what happened in this video... a 6” coil would be non stoppable. I’ll eventually get one as well as the bigger coil to help out with large sites. Thank you for watching as well as commenting. 🙂
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 your very welcome I appreciate the great videos. I can't wait to see a video of you using the 6 inch coil. Did you change out the stock shaft and arm rest? It looks like you did
Another great video ! It’s very well edited ! Congrats on the finds 👍And as a V3i user also to hear your enthusiasm for the equinox 800 speaks Volumes !
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ve learned so much over the last year about making video and it’s been fun. thank you for the compliment, truly means a lot. I have a question for you that you can email if you want or just reply back on here. Squarenailsquirrel At G mail If the trend I’m experiencing continues and I stopped using the V3i, would that effect your interest in checking out what I’m doing on here?
Thank you very much and glad that you enjoyed it. Very pleased with the finds. I'll be back out very soon to do a signal comparison of the V3i and 800 on a farm field with old unknown targets. That's really where the tests show ability. Thanks for checking out the video and take care.
Thank you. I enjoyed the hunt quite a bit and the finds were pretty good. I was really surprised there were that many good targets left out there. I’m trying my best to get a good feel for the machine and trying to show everyone what I’m learning along the way. This is a lot of fun as a totally experience with the videos, new machine and all the folks on here, such as yourself, checking out the videos. Thank for your that... means a lot of have you and others checking out what I’m doing.
Thank you... I try my best with these without taking too much time out of my actual coil swinging time. Adding some items to portray the das adventure is kind of fun, ever know what your going see while out there and it’s part of the experience of the hobby. thank you for your kind comment and for checking out the video.
Just watched this video. Thinkin that liver shaped cover is the cover to an old motorcycle tool kit . gr8 vid as always . I love learning from your vids!
Great video Ken, love my 800 too. Great finds, I like the way you put your videos together. I need to get a mono pod to shoot with. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*
Thank you. 👍🏻 I try my best with the videos to keep them entertaining, sometimes it’s difficut though due to time involved. The monopod I built is from a land surveying tool called a bi-pod, only half of it though. I got creative so I would t have to deal with tripods out detecting, it would burn up 1/2 your hunts time setting up a camera. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for tuning in to check it out. Good luck on any hunts coming up.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I kinda wish some large silver coins would show up soon. Lol. It’s typically only once or twice a year that they do for me... just always been like that. I cleaned the large cent just a little bit and the detail on it is wonderful.. probably was dropped right after it was minted. Maybe next time out I can gather up more coins but I’m ok with whatever I find, even if it’s a bucket of iron. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Thanks and glad you liked the video. I’m flipping in and out of all the programs just to see what happenes. Learning so much with every use, just hope I can keep my mental log of what I’m learning fresh for the next hunt. I’m going to have the V3i and the Nox out this coming weekend testing the signals to see how they compare on response. Should be interesting. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you for the ID, really helps me learn about what I find. Hopefully others read your comment to learn as well... Thank you for checking the video out and for commenting... greatly appreciated.
Congrats.. take your time is the main thing. Read the online manual, I printed it but it's a lot of ink. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and how to get to everything and then start figuring out what you want to increase or decrease. Watching the beginning of my videos may help getting fluid with the settings... biggest things to remember are what each setting does and how it effects your hunt (some are really no big deal like the tone of your threshold hum) and then making sure you begin to speak the language of the machines responses. Testing and trying things to see how your hunt improves works the best for me... I have about 20 hours of hunting time in on the machine and I am still learning and getting a hang of thing but the learning process hasn't been brutal or discouraging... it's been fun. Once you have it down to a T... you will be glad you put the time in. Good luck and ask questions, either I or others will respond with good info. Thanks for checking out the video.
Great video, cool finds glad you like the new detector. Do you have any idea how it would work at the beach and saltwater. Once again I really like your videos and can't wait for the next one, thanks.
Thank you, very much liking this machine. I'm not sure on beach or saltwater hunting because I have actually never done that. Possibly someone will chime in on here about it and have some advice. Thank you for checking the video out. (I will ask a question and see if anyone comments for you so check for a comments post by me)
Henry, I put that question up in the comments and I received a reply about positive use on the beach from someone that has experience. If you find time check it out.
Really did on this hunt... I wouldn’t have though all those were still out there. While I was hunting I kept thinking humorously that someone needed some sewing lessons or had a batch of weak string at this house long ago. Lol. That’s the second general service button I’ve pulled out of there, kinda crazy. Thanks for checking the video out.
Thank you, trying my best on here. 🙂 I could t get over how different the machine was when I set the recovery delay to 7... so awesome. I know the depth was diminished a little but not too much. The decorative brooch type relic was at least 6” or better and in a pile of nails. I would have never thought a machine could do that but it keeps on happening. Lol.
Glad your getting alone the nox so wel. Do me a favor, just for a bit and hunt with gb at 0. I really think it gets lots more depth. Keep up the great shows. HH & GL
Really enjoying the new machine. I'll have to see how the machine runs forcing it down to zero manually, won't the threshold and balance be way off if I do that? Might need to turn the threshold hum off while doing so. I will look into and see how it reacts, thank you for the suggestion, I am always up for anything when it comes to depth. Take care and thanks for watching.
Thank you. I’ll put my threshold down to 0 and try it out with manually forcing the GB to 0. Anything is worth a try because depth is great. I do appreciate you adding the advice on the strategy of operation. 👍🏻
You really do make the best videos out there, bar none! How do you think your V3i would have handled that extreme iron mess and target separation? Looks like the 800 is fun to use, how would you describe the V3i on the none EMI site.
Thank you very much, really appreciate that. :) I try pretty hard to make quality videos. If the V3i has the 4x6 coil on with a recovery delay of 40, it may have done fine in the iron patch on this site. I do know that the time I have spent here with the sport and the 6" detech coil... I passed over what I found during this hunt. The area at the end of the video that I was hunting is about a 25' square and I've pounded it for two 8 hour days. The comparison between the V3i and the 800 are very hard to make... two totally different animals. I will do a target test hunt like I did with the sport v/s V3i soon comparing the V3i and the 800.
Fantastic! When you do that comparison video, I and probably others would love to know where you think the strengths and weaknesses are of both of these detectors.
I just bought a 800 and I ran it a few days and didnt fig a single nail and the next day that's all I dug. What type of setup can I run to not pick up the nails and so much iron. Thanks alot
Thank you. LOL... the whole time i'm driving around trying to make a sequence of events with my camera on the side of the road tracking me... I keep my camera drone case on the console to make sure I know it's not in the truck. Easily left equipment behind in the past.. especially running home pushing my limits for getting field time. Thanks for checking the video out.
Haha!!! I’m seriously laughing out loud. Thanks funny. For some reason on these old home sites I’ve found many coins just laying on the surface like the one in the video. They have all had that beautiful green on them I guess from being exposed to sunlight possibly. Being in a plowed field really helps with finding surface coins, I’m not sure one would be laying on top that hadn’t been plowed. Good luck with your hunt and get on some plowed sites and possibly you will end up with a big copper surface find.
Great video buddy,u really put together a high quality video for us,how did u get camera to pan over as u we're pulling off in your truck was someone there or a device,just wondering lol HH brother--Brian
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻 The camera I use is my phone, iPhone 7. The device I use is a DJI stabilizing gimbal, utilizing the DJI software I can lock into something and it will track it (my truck, or me). Helps out when it’s just a one man band type operation. I use it for all the smooth walking shots and such. If you get one, give it time. It’s a real pain in the butt (for a lack of other word), to get used to the operation. Lol.
I’ve noticed that running field 1 as well as park 1, there isn’t as much noise and the response sensitivity to iron or iffy signals is greatly reduced... just as you say as being calm. I believe running the 1’s fluctuating as you move on the site adjusting recovery delay to gain depth is a winning strategy. Every program on the machine has its strengths and better situation for use but overall:.. any of the programs do great.
I had thought that but the lack of a larger post “connection” point (where it had been broken off) makes me thing possibly an earring with a Albert small post. Being oval it’s very different and I like different. 🙂 glad you enjoy the enthusiasm and thank you for checking out the video.
The blue pouch is something I have been working on for a couple years. I have made three versions with the 4th in the process of being made. it's take a lot of field use and improvements to make it work really good. Once I find more time, I will continue on my design patent process which is currently held up due to funds and then start hand making limited quantities of these. There are other diggers out there that I've made them for which also have helped in sharing whats needed improved, they hunt pretty much every day professionally so the real tests happen with them.
Thanks for another awesome hunt. What do you think of the Equinox 800 I've been thinking about that myself I haven't got one yet I still have the old MXT E Series. Bruce
Bruce, thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’m still learning the 800 but I believe it’s going to be the best machine I’ve ever ran. I’m trying to bite my tounge on saying much about it in the videos but I did spill a little bit in a response to Donlad Lee in these comments. It’s mainly directed at the V3i. I haven’t ran an MXT but I know it’s a proven machine. In my opinion, the 800 is worlds apart from what I’ve been using and I’m a believer in the performance it’s providing.
Does anyone have any idea how well the Equinox Machines work at the beach and saltwater? I have a subscriber on here that would appreciate some input to answer this question. I am unable since I have never hunted at the beach.
This is a copy of the reply to Zander... trying to save some time on replies and I hope you don't mind. Thank you for checking out the video and since you in southwest Ohio... need to get out and hunt. I am back and forth to home in Kentucky all the time with our house being in Cresent Springs just up the hill. The blue pouch is something I have been working on for a couple years. I have made three versions with the 4th in the process of being made. it's take a lot of field use and improvements to make it work really good.

I plan on it. I’m going to make some changes with the sale of equipment to run buying the 6 and the 15” coils for the Nox. I could only imagine how incredible the 6” coil would be on there... laser beam describes is nicely. I may even make a decal for the 6” coil that says just that on top. Lol. Thanks for checking the video out as well as commenting.
I’m from Grant County KY... still have a farm there and a house in Crescent Spring just at the top of the cut in the hill. We live in both Northern Ohio and in KY.
You can solve a common problem people face in plowed fields. Much of what they find has been broken or bent from years of plowing. Go to your settings and set depth to a foot and a half and deeper. This will eliminate all the broken and bent up stuff as well as a lot of heartbreak. Thank you for all the hard work, I live vicariously through you until I can get out of prison.
SNS , do you find that the nox felt like it rolled in your hand at first (left and right) when you swing the coil? My hunting buddy has one and I thought it did but I guess you would get use to it or overcome that after a few hunts. Im considering buying the 800 after being a diehard whites user. My buddy is killing the silver with it he’s almost at 100 silver coins so far this year. I did read your comment about not wanting to do a comparison video but facts are facts this machine very well could have many detectorist hanging up the V Here’s why I’m hesitant on buying one 1.the internal battery, Seems silly just to have to send the machine back to minelab to replace a battery. 2. When the battery is depleted for the day you are out of luck if you are hunting in a remote location you have no choice but to end the hunt and recharge. unlike the V You pop in another battery and go again. I don’t dog anyone for trying new machines. I definitely don’t like what I’m seeing from whites that is (nothing). They remain silent in a very competitive market. H.H
this response has a govenor on it with anything dealing to the V, just getting out there. I do agree that the machine rolls a little unless you are grilling the handle tightly. The problem is in the 6’6” big forearm designed arm cuff, there is so much play in the cuff that it allows the kinetic forces of roll to twist the machine. Someone could add material, like a boot to the cuff to snug it up (currently working on a design), they could also make a new cuff out of aluminum (currently working on a design, waiting on machine shop made jig to get finished). The cuff on the machine is thin, fairly flimsy but does a good job. Mine is new and with time since I beat my equipment pretty good, it will break. They sell replacements but it is what it is I guess. The battery is top notch, first hunt, 8 hours on being on, still all bars were showing. I hunted by myself with no camera for 4 hours this week and battery went to half. I do know the battery replacement is the matter of 4 screws holding the control box/handle on. It’s nkt wired through the handle into the shaft like Whites, just stuck on the shaft. You can take it off, slide the battery out (might be solder joints or connector, not sure), then put it back together with a new battery. Here is another cool thing, battery banks, like the ones you charge your call phone with tha carry anywahere from 2500- 20,000 mah of juice... you just plug it up to the machine and run on that. There is a cable that comes with the machine that hooks to the machine to charge. It’s a USB on one side and as I discovered, an awesome very strong magnetic connector to the machine. You plug the USB to a 2.0 amp wall plug to charge. But... when in the field, strap a 20K battery bank the size of your wallet on the machine and plug up... you run for 5 days straight. There are very small, round and cylinder shaped banks of 5k Mah, $32.00 on Amazon. I’m going to get one of those and show that you can do this operation. It’s easily strapped on and very ergonomically complimenting to the machine. Sleek and won’t can’t on anything. Gonna but reply so I don’t lose what I type. continued, next.
I don’t like what I’m seeing either. If redesigning the sport 5 ways without being waterproof is the way to get noticed... I’m not down with that. They all do good in the field but shifting frequencies, colors of pulse machines and finally after 25 years making a beach machine waterproof... ugh... they know what everyone wants. Multi, fast as lightning, separation, lightweight, don’t have to send in and lose your machine for 2 weeks due to an update, etc. I respect Whites and I’ve used their machines for 23 years although when I called dealers, whites factory Oregon, whites south Georgia, contacted field team members and spoke to the new guy that took TB’s places after he left... they all said this “whites is working on a new machine, can’t tell you what kind or when”... that left me dry. Every R&D is doing the same... it’s their job. Lol. I was willing to wait for whatever it was. So, I went to where the change is happening in the hobby with an extensive engineering crew pushing out what detectorists are after. If Whites comes out with something comparable i’ll Buy it and use it, whenever that may be. Until then... I’m going to reap the rewards of the new found respect for a brand other than what I’ve always know. It’s improved my hunt 10 fold so far and I can only expect it to do the same as time goes. (If anyone else reads this outside who I’m replying to, just know I support the hobby, I don’t sell detectors, I’m not sponsored, I get nothing out of my efforts, I’m just a detectorist making videos and sharing what I experience along the way, with this new discovery of “the difference” being part of it)
I agree I’ve used white’s products since 1995 Mainly for one reason the tone of their machines it appeals to my ears. Ya I agree 100% I don’t like what I’m seeing either from white’s from what I understand they lost some engineers, that could be tough to recover from. I continue to wait for a release It can’t possibly be too much longer. The V is a complex machine and you must know it well to get it to preform to its full potential. H.H
Thanks for sharing your video. Always learning something new when I watch them. Sometimes the relics are better than the coins. They have more of a story to me. I thought you was a whites man. When did you switch to nox 800. Or your just trying it out. 😆. Good luck out there.
Your welcome and glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve been White’s for 23 years of better and just recently was able to save up enough to get the Equinox. I would have had it sooner but I had to buy tires for my truck. Let’s just say... I wish I had this thing a long time ago... man it does an awesome job.
That’s good. That’s why I detect with a Garrett Ace 400. Bc the rest are really expensive. I actually started with one my wife bought me for Christmas that cost around 40$. Then it broke. You get what you pay for. Then she bought me the 400 during tax season. I almost got the Nox 600 but we had to put money torch something else. Well you know how that goes. I lost that battle. But I’m pretty happy with the 400. I don’t find a lot of coins just bc they are not there. I find more relics and whatever is in the ground up to 8 to 10 inches which is fine by me. Maybe next year I will upgrade who knows. As you probably know. One income family makes it hard to get things. Thanks for answering me back. I always enjoy your videos. I subscribe to your channel back when you had only about 250 subscribers. Been a few sense that has happen. I have family in Logan Ohio. How far are you from that area.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ve looked into wireless mic’s but just haven’t purchased one yet. I’m somewhat confused on them due to using a cell phone. The brackets my phone is in while filming doesn’t allow for any attachments at the base.
Takk for at du så på. Har du sett at jeg opprettet en oversettelse på norsk for video underteksten? Dette var mitt første forsøk, jeg håpet det fungerte. Jeg håper også dette oversetter. Norwegian? Swedish?
Awesome finds enjoyed the video!! I need to do some field hunting soon! I’ve gotten a new permission to do so can’t wait!!! I’m from Ohio myself wonder if your near by we could do some hunting sometime! 👍
Thanks so much for showing the different settings and how to get to each one. Just got my 800 last week. Watching you set up the machine and you showing and telling the target numbers helps so much. Congrats on the large cent, CW General Service and other great relics. Always enjoy watching. Take care.
This is great and I’m glad it will help you get up and running faster seeing what I’m doing. Take your time getting used to the noise... it good noise though. Your going to hear everything now with the loud bangs being what your after. It takes a bit to get used to the language of he machine, I’m still getting used to it, but once you start speaking it your hunt will really advance to the next level.
I’m continuing to try stuff out and as I try, I keep everyone on track with what I’m trying. I have been hitting these farm fields due to the short amount of time left to hunt them before planting takes place. I still haven’t hit silver but I’m sure that day will be soon. Just not a lot of silver at the sites I’m hunting historically, but if there is, typically it’s an awesome one.
This coming weekend I’m taking the V3i and the 800 out to do a test within the video just to see how they compare. Should be interesting.
Thanks for tuning in to check out the video and very glad you got an Equinox... in my opinion... you made an awesome move doing so.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , I watched a lot of TH-cam to make the decision on which detector to buy as my first lol. It was between the 800 and the Max. I'm glad I have nothing to compare to. I'm learning that same thing. Go for the loud clear signal or you will be digging deep stuff all day. I haven't played yet with anything but the factory settings but once I get used to it I look forward to being able to adjust them. Thanks again and take care.
Great video fast paced and not a bunch of boring swinging or other fluff. I like how you showed the numbers before each recovery. I hope to hit a couple Ohio fields myself this weekend with my 800. Good luck out there!
Thank you, I try to keep it entertaining. I have done a ton of fast pace videos for land surveying on Instagram and it took me about two years to find my style.. I parlay it over it TH-cam so the hunt can be portrayed as it truly is and be entertaining. Good luck with your hunt this weekend and I hope you dig up some great finds... gonna be muddy but should be dry enough the holes don't fill up with water as soon as you dig. Thanks for commenting and for checking out the video.
Great show, again...! Awesome finds!
Thank you and greatly appreciate it. The finds turned out to be awesome on this site, so very glad that I tried different setting out and also checked places where I was for sure needed plowed again before going back. Thanks for checking out the video.
What kind of diggers pouch you wearing like the big pouch to put stuff plus it hold's your tool ? and that was great hunt and video rnjoy the way you give the history of the property and the cool finds you find HH&GL
Thank you and it’s great you liked the video. I try my best putting these together. 🙂 I included a copy of a reply I made to someone else about the blue pouch to help me with saving time making replies to comments, hopefully ok with that. thank you for checking the video out.
The blue pouch is something I have been working on for a couple years. I have made three versions with the 4th in the process of being made. it's take a lot of field use and improvements to make it work really good. Once I find more time, I will continue on my design patent process which is currently held up due to funds and then start hand making limited quantities of these. There are other diggers out there that I've made them for which also have helped in sharing whats needed improved, they hunt pretty much every day professionally so the real tests happen with them.
Again... another excellent video.
Thank you, very glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate the feedback from folks and am thankful you and there are on here checking out what I’m doing. Takes a lot of work getting permissions, preparing, going out hunting and editing, etc. So... makes all that worth it with everyone enjoying. 🙂
Was using Garrett but now we run the 800 Nox and an MXT AllPro. Both machines are very good, the best I have used. Both have great capabilities. The Minelab has great seperation and recovery speed but lacks depth but the AllPro gets very deep and is very good at ID. We love both machines. Love the videos my friend, keep on cracking!
Great information on the All Pro... I have always had an interest in those machines but never bought one. Great to see you have found a good combo of machines to take on each site.. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck with any upcoming hunts.
Great video and finds! The nox800 I think is a great machine, it nice to see it pulling targets.
Thank you... really enjoying the finds from this site. The 800 is really performing awesome, i’m very, very happy I finally got the money to buy one. It’s quickly becoming the only machine I’m going to need.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 hi Bart again, I was watching a nox800 tutorial and they were saying anytime you changed any setting at all to reset the noise cancel. This is done buy holding the detector PARALLEL to the ground when noise canceling. Also they were saying to noise cancel in different areas of your search area. I think that the whole tutorial is worth seeing on TH-cam.
Hi SN🐿️! 😃 Great video 😃👍, Love all your finds, especially that beautiful large cent that was waiting for you on the surface and that decorative brooch, it's very pretty! 😍👍 Can't wait to see your next adventure! 🤗😘
Hello DG27.. 🙂 thank you and I’m glad you liked the video. Ha! Yes, that large cent was just laying out there all green and ready to be picked up. This one is in wonderful condition and a Coronet versus a Maetron... little older of a coin. Thank you very much for checking out the video and it’s a pleasure to share the hunt. 🙂 good luck with any detecting you have coming up... find some gold!!!!
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you! 😃🤗
You couldn't contain your excitement. I would guess you like what you see from the Equinox. When I first got mine I had the same experience. It only gets better with time. Don't forget to do a noise cancel each time you change modes. If it stays chatty turn the sensitivity down. You can turn it down as low as 10 with no real lose of depth. A 6" coil will help to get between the nails. Keep playing with the iron bias and recovery speed. I can't wait to see what coins are in that field . Great video. Keep'em coming.
Ha! Yes, I couldn't really keep my excitement from coming through. I can't get over how awesome the new machine is. The hobby for me just got a major boost in enjoyment as well as success... I'm going to continue trying things out to get a feel for the performance of each setting... starting to get a feel but it's still going to take awhile. Thanks for checking the video out.
Great hunt. I read an article about a year ago about buttons. It said that buttons with a hump around the shank were tombac. I can't remember where I read the article and I am not 100% sure that it's true, but, it may be a starting point to ID it.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I have heard that as well, I have also heard that it's due to a "spun" button although I'm not sure what that is. LOL I wish there was an awesome book that had info on buttons out there to help identify dates, etc. I have a military one but it doesn't cover anything civilian. Thanks for the commenting and sharing your information and also thanks for checking out the video. Remember the "Eye of Providence" button I found... I believe that metal type is Tombac. Seemed there were quite a few folks commenting on that.
Great vid. Nice treasure found
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for checking out the video. :)
I recognize this site from your videos instantly as if I have been there lol. Keep the great videos coming, love watching them...when I'm not digging myself lol. Keep saving history brother!
That's great to know. I try to take everyone hunting with me and knowing that you can relate to the sites is really awesome. lots of folks dig a site once or twice but I always go back a few times just to see what happens, glad I have been going back over sites with the Equinox.. really pulling up come cool stuff. Thanks for checking out the video.
You're very welcome! I love how you show maps and explain the historic part of your hunts. To me that's very important and great stuff to know. Love the researching! I am subscribed to your channel and have watched all your videos and love every one.
Great Video, the info and commentary Helps and is very entertaining as well. Quickly Becoming one of my favorite Metal Detecting Channels.
Hey enjoy seeing other detectorist from other states Im here in Nc 2021 best yr so far two csa buttons, nc state seal still looking for the cobs. Run ctx,nox 800 very great machines in the iron. Keep on keepin on, to the good digs.
Field 2 with a high recovery and 50 tones is all I use. Equinox falses quite a bit in iron but it hits harder on non ferrous. I like to hear all the iron when I hunt too. Good luck
I’m favoring the field 2 as well. I ran tests on a wheat penny yesterday at an old ballfield. I have found a bunch of the wheats in a small area out there in the past. I hadn’t dug it but took a guess that it was. I tried park 1&2, field 1&2 and found that the signal was super strong In field 2. I then dug it and found that it actually was a Wheat can’t. I almost feel like to wipe a site completely clean you need to run version 1&2 on a site since they favor opposite sites of the spectrum of target conductivity. I haven’t hit a silver coin yet to comment on that, I’m hoping it will be soon.
Great Hunt Kenny! Crazy how that machine bring new life to hunted sites!
Thank you!! I can't get over how much this equinox is changing my hunt... things are going to get dangerous once I really have a feel for it.. no targets will be safe.. LOL. Even if I miss a bunch of stuff I'll still think no targets are safe and that's all that matters... confidence. Thanks for checking out the video, take care.
New subscriber here as well! I agree with some of the other comments about showing how you setup and why! THAT is some great info and makes me think about my setups. I mostly beach hunt out in CA but also frequent a lot of parks. This 800 is by far the most customizable/user friendly machine out there and it's friends like you who take the time (and I know these videos take time) to keep us informed and out there having fun! Thanks again!!
The real joy of detecting is...
You never know what it is until...
YOU DIG IT!!
Great video, I like your format and style.
Very true, I try to dig as many signals as I can, move fast and get to the next to help probability. Thank you for the kind comments and glad you enjoyed the video... thank you very much for checking it out and for commenting.
Standing here in 2019 picking it out of a pile of nails.. really puts what you're finding in perspective.
your commentaries within your findings are very helpful on the fly examples of how to tweak the nox800 and why you did it. it made me think. keep that up. new subscriber. thanks.
Thanks.. great to hear it's helping. I will get back to this type of tweaking and tuning once I get done with some V3i comparison videos. I will be phasing out the V3i from my main tool for detecting and eventually be running the 800 full time with a mix of the MX Sport. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting. Take care.
Good Job. Always Remember if you Hold the power button for about 10 Seconds it will pop up “FP” (Factory Preset). That way if you get adventurous with the settings to find out what works best for you. Then you have a simple way to start over if you don’t like the settings results you are getting. Remember, You can’t find it if your coil doesn’t pass over it. Happy Hunting.
Thanks for the info, I actually have t tried the reset button yet. It’s nice that the option is there to do that, just start from a clean slate. The designers of the machine really did a great job although the arm cuff is a little weak... I’m working on a replacement. That’s very true about the passing over the target, I also tell folks a lot that the good targets have to be there to find good relics/coins. I rarely find silver on old sites like this... I never expect it because they just aren’t there very often.
Thank you for checking out the video.
Hey thanks for the vid! It's fun to watch you learning the Nox. I can tell your starting to appreciate what a great machine it is, the recovery speed and target separation are some of it's best aspects. It really is a quality machine and I love mine. GL and HH!
Your very welcome, I enjoy making and sharing these video. It’s a pleasure to have folks like you on here checking the videos out. So far the process of learning the 800 is really awesome and fairly simple to understand. My biggest change is the quality of the signal.. my hunt style is being adapted to fit the speed and difference of the signals. I’ll take a little bit to get proficient but that take place with any machine. I try to describe it as the language the machine speaks. Right now I’m trying to get down to the specifics on defining a target that may have a slight uplift in tone or special crack in the signal to assure what I’m about to dig is a good or bad target such as flat iron. The strong signals are easy but being able to define the iffy ones will take time. I have noticed there has been a minor decrease in the amount of good versus bad targets I’m digging which is very nice. Thanks for checking the video out and take care.
Great Dig! The Equinox Rocks. Be safe and HH.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I agree, the equinox is a really great machine. Thanks for checking the video out and take care.
Nice relics! Love how the Nox can easily sort them out of the trash. Tiny stuff too! Glad to see you're having fun with it!
Thanks! I’m really amazed by the separation as I continue to learn about the capabilities of this machine. Really enjoying it. Thanks for checking out the video and nice find the other day with the coin in the little decorative box... that was awesome.
Awesome, keep up the great work
Thank you, glad you enjoy the videos. I'll be back out very soon to hunt and make another video. Thanks for checking the video out.
Good job on the LC and buttons. Was hoping you would do a house yard that you have pounded with your whites machines to see what you missed. Farm fields are constantly turned over and its not the same as hunting a yard that has never been plowed. Maybe one of these days you'll have time to do a yard that you think you cleaned out with the whites machines. Then you will begin to understand the true power of the Equinox 800.
I need to keep hitting my farm fields due to the low remaining time until I don’t have them anymore. They will be planted soon and it will be game over on them until late fall. The fields I’m hunting haven’t been touch all winter, I’ve hunted these sites as they are now without being plowed, etc. Eventually I will get in town and start doing some yards to see what happens, should be fun. I have 14 homes inner city lined up so to hunt, there will be plenty of time to understand the power in the machine. I’m really feeling the difference as it is for the shirt time I’ve owned it... far superior. Thank yo for checking the video out and take care.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 The reason why im saying to hit a house yard and not a field is because coins and other metallic objects that have remained in the ground UNDISTURBED for lets say 100 years develop their own electromagnetic sphere over time. Whites machines do not have the tech that minelab has to process these targets. That's why in my opinion, whites technology is outdated and why I stand so strongly by the equinox 800 and its tech as being far superior to anything that whites is making. Youll see the power when you start pulling out the 10 inch deep silver dime in the yard that you walked over 100 times with whites and it never even registered.
Absolutely love how you show us your Equinox settings 😊
Glad to hear that, helps to have feedback about what’s good and what’s not. I’m hoping to be available tomorrow night for your live show... I’m glad you do those. 👍🏻 Very enjoyable and a great community of folks.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Fantastic 😀
Agree with Canuck! showing the settings is of great value. I stopped watching vids that I can't learn from. Even when you dig junk we all learn.
@@bobbyshort1222 Right on Bobby :)
Nice hunt!
Thank you, this hunt was a lot of fun. I really enjoy learning the new machine and the differences in operation. thank you for checking the video out, take care. 🙂
Love the core-tex jacket. I had one like that when I was in the Marines. Today I asked and received my first permission. I did some research and found a map of this old town. The gentleman who owned the house said his house was made back in the fifties. I found some clad coins and shingle nails. I also found a silver ring. Thank you for some of your lessons.
Thanks, I use that jacket all the time. Very useful... I have another but it's tiger stripe airforce... where I favor the Woodland. Thanks great you got your first permission today, just ask, all they can say is not and politely walk away.. .someone will say yes eventually. :) Great score on the silver ring, those are always awesome to find. Glad you gaining info on here to use on your hunt... good luck with any upcoming hunts you may have and take care. Thanks for your service.. means a lot to have a safe country to do as my freedoms allow me to do from folks like you.
Nice large 1836 large cent and piece of jewelry. Take care
Thanks. 👍🏻 That large cent is in awesome condition, like it was dropped soon after being minted with no circulation. The jewelry thing I’m a little perplexed on since there are two holes at the bottom. Either way it’s a great piece to find and very happy with it. For some reason those kinds of finds are the best. 🙂 thank you for checking out the video.
Another great video! I always learn something from your approach to metal detecting. Thanks!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. That’s awesome you lick stuff up from what I’m doing... right now with every swing and signal dug I’m learning a lot about the new machine. Thank you for checking out the video, take care.
wow, gorgeous ...service button!
Thanks, I was super happy with the find. The last one I found here had a big dent in it. I really enjoy the uniform buttons, especially the old ones like this. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 can you please tell me if your grey ghost headphones are the original or platinum and how you feel about the sounds i ordered a pair received them,wondering whats up they sound terrible...was using whites which have broken several times but i feel sound great?
glad your digging your machine...lol.... the equinox is awesome . great video my friend keep-on finding.
Seriously loving the Equinox. Thanks man and I hope to be back out soon. After these Saturday classes are over and your back up and running again I need to head up your way. Talk soon.
Hey Kenny, I like your finds.bag. What kind and where did you get it?
Looks like I just found another great MD channel...SUBBED!!
Well my friend. once again you have taken me on an adventure and it was good. I have the 600 and it has performed flawlessly! I would have gotten the 800 but my budget was a bit too tight for it at the time. I am really glad you have the 800. The way you edit your video's make it like a short adventure movie of sorts. Your narrating is good with the short history of items you find and what was going on in that area at the time. That is what it is all about when I am out there. My mind goes to another day in time, imagining who was doing what and how that item, relic or coin ended up where I found it. As I said before my friend, " YOU ROCK!". I have a lot to learn about the machine but it is happening slowly for me due to work and family. Please keep up the great work on your video's. Being a Battleship sailor, it was always an adventure being on the high seas and going through storms, also as we dropped anchor on the coast of many different countries. I have laid hands on the walls of the Panama canal as we transited through...imagining all the different people involved in its creation. All those who passed in its creation going through the challenges set before them. I enjoyed every moment of being on U.S.S. IOWA BB-61 as a 5"38 gunner. I miss those days...Metal detecting gives me adventure back on a personal level. It takes my mind away from the grind of everyday life. I absolutely love digging up history and discovering what was once lost reliving the moment and how it got there. My friend, your good people and I wish there were more with the mindset we both share. Take care, God bless and keep it up!
Thank you for the kind words Gunnersmate62... very much appreciated. I try my best on there to provide good videos to portray the hobby in it's entirety because there is so many things to enjoy about it other than the actual items we dig. Thank you for your service and I highly respect that... in a serious way. It's nice we can relate on the Equinox machines since they are almost identical other than some minor adjustments and the gold finding frequencies. Thanks again for commenting as well as checking out the video... take care.
I definitely think a 6 inch coil would work wonders in that iron nightmare.
Thanks for posting another great video.
I been looking forward to you posting another equinox video.
The 800 sounds like it's a beast.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. If the machine with an 11” can do what happened in this video... a 6” coil would be non stoppable. I’ll eventually get one as well as the bigger coil to help out with large sites. Thank you for watching as well as commenting. 🙂
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 your very welcome I appreciate the great videos.
I can't wait to see a video of you using the 6 inch coil.
Did you change out the stock shaft and arm rest?
It looks like you did
🙂 thank you. I’ll keep doing these as much as I can. Sometimes it’s hard to manage with time available... but i’lo keep at it.
Another great video ! It’s very well edited !
Congrats on the finds 👍And as a V3i user also to hear your enthusiasm
for the equinox 800 speaks Volumes !
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ve learned so much over the last year about making video and it’s been fun. thank you for the compliment, truly means a lot.
I have a question for you that you can email if you want or just reply back on here. Squarenailsquirrel At G mail If the trend I’m experiencing continues and I stopped using the V3i, would that effect your interest in checking out what I’m doing on here?
Good job on the video + nice finds!
Thank you very much and glad that you enjoyed it. Very pleased with the finds. I'll be back out very soon to do a signal comparison of the V3i and 800 on a farm field with old unknown targets. That's really where the tests show ability. Thanks for checking out the video and take care.
Love the equinox 800....
It’s one awesome machine and I’m thoroughly enjoying the value it’s added to my hunt. Thanks for checking the video out.
Nice finds and great video, looks like you're learning that nox pretty well and helping us all learn along the way as well. GL & HH
Thank you. I enjoyed the hunt quite a bit and the finds were pretty good. I was really surprised there were that many good targets left out there. I’m trying my best to get a good feel for the machine and trying to show everyone what I’m learning along the way. This is a lot of fun as a totally experience with the videos, new machine and all the folks on here, such as yourself, checking out the videos. Thank for your that... means a lot of have you and others checking out what I’m doing.
Great vid! I got the same coat!
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
Thank you... I try my best with these without taking too much time out of my actual coil swinging time. Adding some items to portray the das adventure is kind of fun, ever know what your going see while out there and it’s part of the experience of the hobby. thank you for your kind comment and for checking out the video.
Like your finds and equipment bag . Where did you get them?
The keyhole looking object is a corset busk. One side of the closure clasp.
Great video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Just watched this video. Thinkin that liver shaped cover is the cover to an old motorcycle tool kit . gr8 vid as always . I love learning from your vids!
Great video Ken, love my 800 too. Great finds, I like the way you put your videos together. I need to get a mono pod to shoot with. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*
Thank you. 👍🏻 I try my best with the videos to keep them entertaining, sometimes it’s difficut though due to time involved. The monopod I built is from a land surveying tool called a bi-pod, only half of it though. I got creative so I would t have to deal with tripods out detecting, it would burn up 1/2 your hunts time setting up a camera. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for tuning in to check it out. Good luck on any hunts coming up.
fantastic video just one coin but a lot of relics
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I kinda wish some large silver coins would show up soon. Lol. It’s typically only once or twice a year that they do for me... just always been like that. I cleaned the large cent just a little bit and the detail on it is wonderful.. probably was dropped right after it was minted. Maybe next time out I can gather up more coins but I’m ok with whatever I find, even if it’s a bucket of iron. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.
Where did you get that pouch?? Nice!!!!
This is so fun !!!! What’s the best thing you’ve ever found ?
Enjoyed the video and how you changed setting to see how it responded in that trash. Recovery is amazing with that 11 inch coil.
Thanks and glad you liked the video. I’m flipping in and out of all the programs just to see what happenes. Learning so much with every use, just hope I can keep my mental log of what I’m learning fresh for the next hunt. I’m going to have the V3i and the Nox out this coming weekend testing the signals to see how they compare on response. Should be interesting. Thanks for checking out the video.
Another great video!!!!
That one item you found is a garter belt clasp to hold up stockings old school style. Definitely before pantyhose but they still make them currently.
Thank you for the ID, really helps me learn about what I find. Hopefully others read your comment to learn as well... Thank you for checking the video out and for commenting... greatly appreciated.
Nice episode!!... I came from v3i to Nox.. just never can see swinging the v anymore....
BOUGHT NOX 800, HOPE I CAN LEARN TO USE IT. GREAT VIDEO
Congrats.. take your time is the main thing. Read the online manual, I printed it but it's a lot of ink. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and how to get to everything and then start figuring out what you want to increase or decrease. Watching the beginning of my videos may help getting fluid with the settings... biggest things to remember are what each setting does and how it effects your hunt (some are really no big deal like the tone of your threshold hum) and then making sure you begin to speak the language of the machines responses. Testing and trying things to see how your hunt improves works the best for me... I have about 20 hours of hunting time in on the machine and I am still learning and getting a hang of thing but the learning process hasn't been brutal or discouraging... it's been fun. Once you have it down to a T... you will be glad you put the time in. Good luck and ask questions, either I or others will respond with good info. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 thanks. It looks complicated.
Great video, cool finds glad you like the new detector. Do you have any idea how it would work at the beach and saltwater. Once again I really like your videos and can't wait for the next one, thanks.
Thank you, very much liking this machine. I'm not sure on beach or saltwater hunting because I have actually never done that. Possibly someone will chime in on here about it and have some advice. Thank you for checking the video out. (I will ask a question and see if anyone comments for you so check for a comments post by me)
Henry, I put that question up in the comments and I received a reply about positive use on the beach from someone that has experience. If you find time check it out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638
Thanks I appreciate that, I will check it out. I live in Fl. and a lot of opportunities to search the beach.
Can you link where you got your jacket? Ideal!
You wore the buttons out nice hunt hh
Really did on this hunt... I wouldn’t have though all those were still out there. While I was hunting I kept thinking humorously that someone needed some sewing lessons or had a batch of weak string at this house long ago. Lol. That’s the second general service button I’ve pulled out of there, kinda crazy. Thanks for checking the video out.
Excellent video the equinox is a killer in the iron
Thank you, trying my best on here. 🙂 I could t get over how different the machine was when I set the recovery delay to 7... so awesome. I know the depth was diminished a little but not too much. The decorative brooch type relic was at least 6” or better and in a pile of nails. I would have never thought a machine could do that but it keeps on happening. Lol.
Great hunt! You know you at a good location of you pull a largie from the surface!
Glad your getting alone the nox so wel. Do me a favor, just for a bit and hunt with gb at 0. I really think it gets lots more depth. Keep up the great shows. HH & GL
Really enjoying the new machine. I'll have to see how the machine runs forcing it down to zero manually, won't the threshold and balance be way off if I do that? Might need to turn the threshold hum off while doing so. I will look into and see how it reacts, thank you for the suggestion, I am always up for anything when it comes to depth. Take care and thanks for watching.
Square Nail Squirrel I run threshold at 0 so I can’t say but I can vouch for deeper targets since I changed. Currently using field 1.
Thank you. I’ll put my threshold down to 0 and try it out with manually forcing the GB to 0. Anything is worth a try because depth is great. I do appreciate you adding the advice on the strategy of operation. 👍🏻
You really do make the best videos out there, bar none!
How do you think your V3i would have handled that extreme iron mess and target separation? Looks like the 800 is fun to use, how would you describe the V3i on the none EMI site.
Thank you very much, really appreciate that. :) I try pretty hard to make quality videos. If the V3i has the 4x6 coil on with a recovery delay of 40, it may have done fine in the iron patch on this site. I do know that the time I have spent here with the sport and the 6" detech coil... I passed over what I found during this hunt. The area at the end of the video that I was hunting is about a 25' square and I've pounded it for two 8 hour days. The comparison between the V3i and the 800 are very hard to make... two totally different animals. I will do a target test hunt like I did with the sport v/s V3i soon comparing the V3i and the 800.
Fantastic! When you do that comparison video, I and probably others would love to know where you think the strengths and weaknesses are of both of these detectors.
I made a video Friday night (yesterday) i’ll Have it out soon. It’s a “in the field” type comparison video.
I just bought a 800 and I ran it a few days and didnt fig a single nail and the next day that's all I dug. What type of setup can I run to not pick up the nails and so much iron. Thanks alot
great video there , don't forget the camera before you leave lol
Thank you. LOL... the whole time i'm driving around trying to make a sequence of events with my camera on the side of the road tracking me... I keep my camera drone case on the console to make sure I know it's not in the truck. Easily left equipment behind in the past.. especially running home pushing my limits for getting field time. Thanks for checking the video out.
The only surface finds I find are Pulltabs.......thanks for sharing
Haha!!! I’m seriously laughing out loud. Thanks funny. For some reason on these old home sites I’ve found many coins just laying on the surface like the one in the video. They have all had that beautiful green on them I guess from being exposed to sunlight possibly. Being in a plowed field really helps with finding surface coins, I’m not sure one would be laying on top that hadn’t been plowed. Good luck with your hunt and get on some plowed sites and possibly you will end up with a big copper surface find.
If your close enough to north central Ohio just come with me on a hunt and see if you can spot one while detecting. Not sure where you’re at.
Great video buddy,u really put together a high quality video for us,how did u get camera to pan over as u we're pulling off in your truck was someone there or a device,just wondering lol HH brother--Brian
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻 The camera I use is my phone, iPhone 7. The device I use is a DJI stabilizing gimbal, utilizing the DJI software I can lock into something and it will track it (my truck, or me). Helps out when it’s just a one man band type operation. I use it for all the smooth walking shots and such. If you get one, give it time. It’s a real pain in the butt (for a lack of other word), to get used to the operation. Lol.
I personally love field 1. Seems to calm down.
I’ve noticed that running field 1 as well as park 1, there isn’t as much noise and the response sensitivity to iron or iffy signals is greatly reduced... just as you say as being calm. I believe running the 1’s fluctuating as you move on the site adjusting recovery delay to gain depth is a winning strategy. Every program on the machine has its strengths and better situation for use but overall:.. any of the programs do great.
Could the oval piece be from a cuff link? I always enjoy your enthusiasm!
I had thought that but the lack of a larger post “connection” point (where it had been broken off) makes me thing possibly an earring with a Albert small post. Being oval it’s very different and I like different. 🙂 glad you enjoy the enthusiasm and thank you for checking out the video.
Where did you get that blue pouch from?
The blue pouch is something I have been working on for a couple years. I have made three versions with the 4th in the process of being made. it's take a lot of field use and improvements to make it work really good. Once I find more time, I will continue on my design patent process which is currently held up due to funds and then start hand making limited quantities of these. There are other diggers out there that I've made them for which also have helped in sharing whats needed improved, they hunt pretty much every day professionally so the real tests happen with them.
This was a quality check I asked at first. I removed the question now that It’s been resolved. Thank you to all that replied.
Square Nail Squirrel A-OK. Even the wind was not a problem.
Video is nice and clear
Thank you. Gets me so upset when I try to make good video and the upload calls sort of all my effort. I feel better now that it’s clear.
Ok. Thank you very much. When my upload messes up my video I get pretty upset. I feel better now. 🙂
Thanks for another awesome hunt. What do you think of the Equinox 800 I've been thinking about that myself I haven't got one yet I still have the old MXT E Series. Bruce
Bruce, thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’m still learning the 800 but I believe it’s going to be the best machine I’ve ever ran. I’m trying to bite my tounge on saying much about it in the videos but I did spill a little bit in a response to Donlad Lee in these comments. It’s mainly directed at the V3i. I haven’t ran an MXT but I know it’s a proven machine. In my opinion, the 800 is worlds apart from what I’ve been using and I’m a believer in the performance it’s providing.
Does anyone have any idea how well the Equinox Machines work at the beach and saltwater? I have a subscriber on here that would appreciate some input to answer this question. I am unable since I have never hunted at the beach.
It is one of the best at the beach. Right there with the CTX. Purrs like a kitten.
Thank you for your input in sharing your experience. I will advise the other viewer to check out your response.
Great Videos Ken. As Zander asked, Where did you acquire the blue pouch. That would work best for me. Tom from Southwest, Ohio
This is a copy of the reply to Zander... trying to save some time on replies and I hope you don't mind. Thank you for checking out the video and since you in southwest Ohio... need to get out and hunt. I am back and forth to home in Kentucky all the time with our house being in Cresent Springs just up the hill.

What’s up man love your videos what kinda stand you using and camera?
Get a 6" coil and go back to that area. That coil is like a laser beam in trash and still good depth. You'll love it!
I plan on it. I’m going to make some changes with the sale of equipment to run buying the 6 and the 15” coils for the Nox. I could only imagine how incredible the 6” coil would be on there... laser beam describes is nicely. I may even make a decal for the 6” coil that says just that on top. Lol. Thanks for checking the video out as well as commenting.
14:50 i find so many of those in the netherlands i just scrap them unless they are like complete but ive never found them complete unfortuanlly
where to get that find pouch thank you
I designed and make them, not for sale yet. Thanks for the interest.
How close to Cincinnati are you? Maybe if you are interested I'll take you civil war relic hunting
I’m from Grant County KY... still have a farm there and a house in Crescent Spring just at the top of the cut in the hill. We live in both Northern Ohio and in KY.
You can solve a common problem people face in plowed fields. Much of what they find has been broken or bent from years of plowing. Go to your settings and set depth to a foot and a half and deeper. This will eliminate all the broken and bent up stuff as well as a lot of heartbreak.
Thank you for all the hard work, I live vicariously through you until I can get out of prison.
What kind of shovel is that? Been looking all over for it...
SNS , do you find that the nox felt like it rolled in your hand at first (left and right) when you swing the coil? My hunting buddy has one and I thought it did but I guess you would get use to it or overcome that after a few hunts. Im considering buying the 800 after being a diehard whites user. My buddy is killing the silver with it he’s almost at 100 silver coins so far this year.
I did read your comment about not wanting to do a comparison video but facts are facts this machine very well could have many detectorist hanging up the V
Here’s why I’m hesitant on buying one
1.the internal battery, Seems silly just to have to send the machine back to minelab to replace a battery.
2. When the battery is depleted for the day you are out of luck if you are hunting in a remote location you have no choice but to end the hunt and recharge. unlike the V You pop in another battery and go again.
I don’t dog anyone for trying new machines. I definitely don’t like what I’m seeing from whites that is (nothing). They remain silent in a very competitive market. H.H
this response has a govenor on it with anything dealing to the V, just getting out there.
I do agree that the machine rolls a little unless you are grilling the handle tightly. The problem is in the 6’6” big forearm designed arm cuff, there is so much play in the cuff that it allows the kinetic forces of roll to twist the machine. Someone could add material, like a boot to the cuff to snug it up (currently working on a design), they could also make a new cuff out of aluminum (currently working on a design, waiting on machine shop made jig to get finished). The cuff on the machine is thin, fairly flimsy but does a good job. Mine is new and with time since I beat my equipment pretty good, it will break. They sell replacements but it is what it is I guess.
The battery is top notch, first hunt, 8 hours on being on, still all bars were showing. I hunted by myself with no camera for 4 hours this week and battery went to half. I do know the battery replacement is the matter of 4 screws holding the control box/handle on. It’s nkt wired through the handle into the shaft like Whites, just stuck on the shaft. You can take it off, slide the battery out (might be solder joints or connector, not sure), then put it back together with a new battery.
Here is another cool thing, battery banks, like the ones you charge your call phone with tha carry anywahere from 2500- 20,000 mah of juice... you just plug it up to the machine and run on that. There is a cable that comes with the machine that hooks to the machine to charge. It’s a USB on one side and as I discovered, an awesome very strong magnetic connector to the machine. You plug the USB to a 2.0 amp wall plug to charge. But... when in the field, strap a 20K battery bank the size of your wallet on the machine and plug up... you run for 5 days straight. There are very small, round and cylinder shaped banks of 5k Mah, $32.00 on Amazon. I’m going to get one of those and show that you can do this operation. It’s easily strapped on and very ergonomically complimenting to the machine. Sleek and won’t can’t on anything.
Gonna but reply so I don’t lose what I type. continued, next.
I don’t like what I’m seeing either. If redesigning the sport 5 ways without being waterproof is the way to get noticed... I’m not down with that. They all do good in the field but shifting frequencies, colors of pulse machines and finally after 25 years making a beach machine waterproof... ugh... they know what everyone wants. Multi, fast as lightning, separation, lightweight, don’t have to send in and lose your machine for 2 weeks due to an update, etc. I respect Whites and I’ve used their machines for 23 years although when I called dealers, whites factory Oregon, whites south Georgia, contacted field team members and spoke to the new guy that took TB’s places after he left... they all said this “whites is working on a new machine, can’t tell you what kind or when”... that left me dry. Every R&D is doing the same... it’s their job. Lol. I was willing to wait for whatever it was. So, I went to where the change is happening in the hobby with an extensive engineering crew pushing out what detectorists are after. If Whites comes out with something comparable i’ll Buy it and use it, whenever that may be. Until then... I’m going to reap the rewards of the new found respect for a brand other than what I’ve always know. It’s improved my hunt 10 fold so far and I can only expect it to do the same as time goes. (If anyone else reads this outside who I’m replying to, just know I support the hobby, I don’t sell detectors, I’m not sponsored, I get nothing out of my efforts, I’m just a detectorist making videos and sharing what I experience along the way, with this new discovery of “the difference” being part of it)
I agree I’ve used white’s products since 1995
Mainly for one reason the tone of their machines it appeals to my ears. Ya I agree 100% I don’t like what I’m seeing either from white’s from what I understand they lost some engineers, that could be tough to recover from. I continue to wait for a release It can’t possibly be too much longer. The V is a complex machine and you must know it well to get it to preform to its full potential. H.H
Where do you get your maps?
Nice hunt and finds. LOL, you should know farmers never have money! ;)
Thanks for sharing your video. Always learning something new when I watch them. Sometimes the relics are better than the coins. They have more of a story to me. I thought you was a whites man. When did you switch to nox 800. Or your just trying it out. 😆. Good luck out there.
Your welcome and glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve been White’s for 23 years of better and just recently was able to save up enough to get the Equinox. I would have had it sooner but I had to buy tires for my truck. Let’s just say... I wish I had this thing a long time ago... man it does an awesome job.
That’s good. That’s why I detect with a Garrett Ace 400. Bc the rest are really expensive. I actually started with one my wife bought me for Christmas that cost around 40$. Then it broke. You get what you pay for. Then she bought me the 400 during tax season. I almost got the Nox 600 but we had to put money torch something else. Well you know how that goes. I lost that battle. But I’m pretty happy with the 400. I don’t find a lot of coins just bc they are not there. I find more relics and whatever is in the ground up to 8 to 10 inches which is fine by me. Maybe next year I will upgrade who knows. As you probably know. One income family makes it hard to get things. Thanks for answering me back. I always enjoy your videos. I subscribe to your channel back when you had only about 250 subscribers. Been a few sense that has happen. I have family in Logan Ohio. How far are you from that area.
Another great video. You should look into the Rode Wireless Go Microphone. Runs for 7 hours on a charge.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ve looked into wireless mic’s but just haven’t purchased one yet. I’m somewhat confused on them due to using a cell phone. The brackets my phone is in while filming doesn’t allow for any attachments at the base.
Look at the iOgrapher for your phone. I have one for my phone and iPad. The Wireless Go Mic works great.
Det var bra 👍,
Takk for at du så på. Har du sett at jeg opprettet en oversettelse på norsk for video underteksten? Dette var mitt første forsøk, jeg håpet det fungerte. Jeg håper også dette oversetter.
Norwegian? Swedish?
I am buying an Equinox 800 because of your videos! Hey! Get ahold of of Kellyco detectors! The are willing to work with you on minelab stuff!
Awesome finds enjoyed the video!! I need to do some field hunting soon! I’ve gotten a new permission to do so can’t wait!!! I’m from Ohio myself wonder if your near by we could do some hunting sometime! 👍
Hey i m. Interested and almost ready to buy a good hunting machine. but I don't have idea how or where get permission for detect aut from my yard
Killer stuff
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed it. It’s cool to have folks out there watching that like what I’m doing. Thanks for watching. 🙂
After a year my cuff started cracking while travelling in Florida. Poor thin plastic.
I don't like the cuff either, I'm tracking a solution for the cuff right now. I'll keep you in mind and get one to you.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks. ATB
You seem to swing some GREAT 'tectors! I know this vid is a few "minutes" old but what is your favorite & WHY? Great vid by the way!!!
Mr I,need that machine so how can I,get ?
great
Thank you. 🙂
I love metal detecting. Probably because I love American history.
Where you located in Ohio
17:18 possible part of a cufflink
Very true on the ID... I hadn't though about that. Thank you for commenting. :)
How do you like that Chevy? I’ve owned Fords and Rams but not a Chevy. Your videos are outstanding!
17:25 That’s probably an old cuff link.
First thing you found is from a corset
