Minelab Equinox - Is Threshold Useful?

- In this video I talk about one of the lesser used features of the Minelab Equinox - Threshold Level. I'll talk about Reference vs True Threshold, and how these differ when comparing Park/Field/Beach vs Gold modes. I've also included a short field test to demonstrate how I use threshold when hunting!

I started with a threshold when I had my White's 6000 Di Pro and tried using that on my newer Minelab Xterra Pro but come to find I don't really need it and it was a distraction to my channel listeners. So I no longer use one, in fact I like to increase my Iron volume which is reached by long pressing on the volume button which I think the 800 does as well. I usually run 20 E1. Looking forward to using it in Gold mode someday! I have subscribed to or channel and hope you can do the same as I have added a Equinox 900 to my stable : )
Interesting. I like to hear it (but only just - as a background hum), but can understand why others don’t like it at all. It’s definitely a personal preference thing. Thanks for the Sub, and will do the same. Good luck mate!
Great video on threshold. I use it to listen for deep targets
Thanks for this Steve I use the 600 and find the background threshold (volume 5 or 6) very reassuring. It lets me know my machine is picking up targets (albeit ones I don’t want) without ‘grunting’ at me all the time. When it becomes very active the first thing I now do is slow my swing rate right down and that has proved very successful in recent days. I kind of found this feature ‘by accident’ and, I agree, it can indicate it might be worth making small adjustments to the iron bias & sensitivity for that particualr location. I tend to keep my recovery speed maxed out (3 on the 600) in any case. 👍🏻🙌🏻
My manticore hits deep with the threshold on at yhe beach. I dont know how else to discribe it. Its awesome
Brilliant ripper informative article.
Thanks for watching!
Great and informative video. 👍 I always run with threshold same as you, but wasn't aware of 2 types. Will definitely try increasing sensitivity and recovery speed together, and see if it helps me.
Would doing this work on damp/wet sand where very little trash, but potentially gold targets(rings or chains perhaps?). Really enjoy and learn a lot from your tutorials 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

If you’re hunting wet sand and the targets are few and far between, I’d actually reduce recovery speed, slow my swing, and increase sensitivity as much as possible. You can still use threshold level of 4-6 to help hear the blanking of discriminated targets, so you know if you hit a target heavy area, and then adjust recovery speed to suit. Good luck out there, and thanks for your comments Phil!

Thanks for the advice.. much appreciated. Will try this weekend. 👍
BACK IN MXT DAYS ALWAYS USED IT.😂
Thanks
And tracking always.
And mix coils up ues them all then ya see true power this unit can do.
sorry but that makes no sense at all (5 mins and blanking). Just have no continuous hum and don't blank and then listen for when the machine finds something.
Threshold is an alternative to hearing iron tones - it’s just a matter of personal preference really. Happy hunting!
