SHOCKING Equinox issue!

Coins don't settle on edge. It just doesn't happen unless you are hunting cracked rock sea floor.

You might want to check out this video. Not my video it is another forum member. I said the same thing before I watched this.



Also want to add I am not that concerned as I mostly hunt in Park 2 and it performs quite well in all scenarios.
 

Since I live in Florida I say everyone in Florida needs to stop using the Nox and buy a different machine for water......:laughing7:
 

Normal wide sweeps make a difference also when checking deeper coins in a test garden.
 

Treasure Hunter, you forgot to mention no detecting is allowed within 10 miles of where you detect!:laughing7:
 

What do you guys make of this video?

 

Its very strange. I wonder why they are not detected as you add more silver? I have seen this discussion on various forums. I wonder if the 50id numbers is the issue? Though my silver with the nox has been coming in at like 16 on real targets on the beach. Today a penny came in at 4.

HF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Space weather impacts radio communication in a number of ways. At frequencies in the 1 to 30 mega Hertz range (known as “High Frequency” or HF radio), the changes in ionospheric density and structure modify the transmission path and even block transmission of HF radio signals completely. These frequencies are used by amateur (ham) radio operators and many industries such as commercial airlines. They are also used by a number of government agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Defense.

There are several types of space weather that can impact HF radio communication. In a typical sequence of space weather storms, the first impacts are felt during the solar flare itself. The solar x-rays from the sun penetrate to the bottom of the ionosphere (to around 80 km). There the x-ray photons ionize the atmosphere and create an enhancement of the D layer of the ionosphere. This enhanced D-layer acts both as a reflector of radio waves at some frequencies and an absorber of waves at other frequencies. The Radio Blackout associated with solar flares occurs on the dayside region of Earth and is most intense when the sun is directly overhead.

Another type of space weather, the Radiation Storm caused by energetic solar protons, can also disrupt HF radio communication. The protons are guided by Earth’s magnetic field such that they collide with the upper atmosphere near the north and south poles. The fast-moving protons have an affect similar to the x-ray photons and create an enhanced D-Layer thus blocking HF radio communication at high latitudes. During auroral displays, the precipitating electrons can enhance other layers of the ionosphere and have similar disrupting and blocking effects on radio communication. This occurs mostly on the night side of the polar regions of Earth where the aurora is most intense and most frequent.

More information on solar activity from an amateur radio operator’s perspective is available at https://www.qrparci.org/resource/FDIM81.pdf


sunspot activity interact with the equinox's vdi readout. best to hunt at night if vdi # are important to you...

Bottom line...Equinox has a lot of issues and Minelab aint gonna even attempt to release not even 1 firmware update to fix even the most tiniest of problems.

They will bring out a newer vetsion in 12 mths and expect us to fork out a shed load of cash yet again.

Ah well.

Matt.
 

Fuceye is correct. Anomalies from the sun cause problems all the time, most we fortunately don’t hear about. Effects all electronics.

I hope the bad news keeps spreading about the Equinox. I want my area Equinox free for my finds pouch.:laughing7:
 

We have rules on language and substituting characters for letters to bypass censor still violates our rules. Please post by our rules.

Minelab is a supporting vendor here, discussing issues is allowed, attacking them is not.
 

Oh no! Another video! Plz put words down here so I can read them. I just don't click on links, that is all.

Hey thanks for the spam (three identical posts???? with the same video link). Not exactly winning hearts, minds, and subs. In fact quite the opposite. :BangHead:

Got my 1st V Nik with the 600.... and some more
