Ok, have had the Equinox 800 since March and the 6" coil since June. I came from using my AT Pro that I had for 3 years. I have switched from old home sites to lake hunting and CW relic hunting since I live in North Atlanta. It has been too hot to relic hunt will do that when the weather breaks...

Ok, for those of you Equinox users especially beginners, intermediate or those coming form other non-minelab brands this is for you. I assume you read the book. Now after you have put in some significant hunt hours lets say 30+ go back and carefully re-read the book. I did this and understood...

Today I went to find an old gold mine located in my county. Found on the Internet a general description of the area that narrowed it down to about 200 acres. So tramping around for 2 hours and not finding a trace of the mine, eg opening or tailings. Even talked to two old times who said yes I...

Here is my air test on the Equinox 800 comparing the 11 inch stock coil to the 6” coil. Did a factory reset and set sensitivity to 21, recovery speed to 6. Iron bias of 6. Setup and methods: I set the coils on an all plastic child’s picnic table to eliminate any metal. Swept the table to...

I received my 6 inch coil for my 800 yesterday and will try it out on my trashy park Monday. I got to thinking about how this six inch coil could be different from the 11 inch coil. Ok, it will separate better everyone agrees to that I think. As I have dug many, many plugs in this park I...

Was glad to get my six inch coil for my 800. I will try it out Monday since that is the first free day I have to search. I will try it out on my super trashy site around the picnic tables at the rivers edge. This park is slammed full of people every weekend and on holidays. I have had good...

I will be ordering the 6" coil for my 800. On my AT Pro they recommended resetting the unit when changing from the AT Pro stock coil to the NEL Thunder. Is there such a requirement to reset when changing from the 800 stock coil and 6" coil? I hope not, since i have some custom settings in...

I want to use my 800 in lake water hunting. I wade in water that is about half way between waist to chest high and this will cause my control box to be submerged. Found out wireless bluetooth blanks out in a couple of inches of water so that is not a solution. I have telex headphones that I...

I have mentioned this 111 page book titled "The Minelab Equinox Series - From Beginner to Advanced" in some replies to other Equinox related posts. Here I will give you my take on the book. First about me. I have used the great AT Pro for about three years and have been metal detecting since...

I was wading in little over waist deep water with my 800. Every time I got the control unit under water, the headphones would disconnect and then reconnect when the control unit came above the water. This happened when the control unit was 6-12" inches under water. I guess this type of...

How long did it take you in an estimate of hours did it take you to find your first civil war bullet? Or any other civil war relic? I am using an Nox 800 and have adjusted my tone breaks to make bullets ring out loud and clear. How much research do you do of areas near civil war battle...

on the 800 detector do you have to wait until the battery indicator is flashing to recharge, or can you recharge at any time? same question for the WM-08 wireless module. In the past I remember some batteries have memories and short charging would make the ability to hold a standard long...

anyone have Equinox Target ID's for civil war relics, especially breast plates, buttons, bullets, shell casings and CSA buckles?

I just look at the number of post for models and brands of metal detectors on this forum as of 5/20/2018 Here are the top number of posts: Minelab #1 - Equinox 5,977 #2 - CTX3030 284 and all the rest don't even come close Garrett AT Pro 152 ATA Max 258 without a doubt with this number of...

While I am patiently waiting for my Equinox 800 to show up, I created a custom spread sheet to write down all of my custom settings I will some day be discovering. Save it to you computer and print it off.

This is the Ultimate Minelab Equinox 600/800 VDI Numbers and Tones video covering Rings and other Jewelry. I cover Platinum, Gold, Silver, Tungsten, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum Rings. Pendants, Earrings, and even go over various different style Pull Tabs. A lot of time was put into this...

I just completed a very nice Test/Demonstration video on the Minelab Equinox 600 / 800 covering Coins, both Silver and clad. I did a lot of editing to make this video stand out from the average target test. Make sure to check out my other video covering Rings and Jewelry! Hope these videos...

Hi all, Relatively new to detecting, just purchased my first "real" detector (Equinox 600). I'm not trying to start any controversy, just hoping to get confirmation that my approach seems at least reasonable? I'm sure everyone is well acquainted with the specs/features by now so I'll just...

My friend Tony and I just made a video at Wildwood NJ testing the new Minelab Equinox 800.

Hit a silver dime trifecta today in my local trashy park with my 800! First 3 silvers of the year for me! Hit 7 wheat pennies as well. All targets were at least 6 inches deep and mixed in among trash. Except rosie dime was right next to a nail by sidewalk I have pounded. I literally followed my...
