      I'm moving back to Reno, Nevada after living in the Philippines over 10 years.. After watching your vido's I have a Minelab Equinox 800.. Just making 78 years old, I decided to start going to the hills to look for gold
      and ghost towns. I figured after learning how to use it, I will go back to Oregon, where I'm from to visit
      family.... If your put groups together for field trips, I would be interested in coming up for one, to learn more
      on how to use my Detector... I have watch your video's and think I would enjoy going with a group...

    I would like to make something perfectly clear to new users of the Equniox. You do not need to hold the power button down until you see FP on your screen.That is only for when you are changing any programs or settings back to the stock factory presets.Holding the power button down until FP is on the screen will un sync your previously sync'ed headphones causing you to have to sync your headphones every time you power on your detector.

    Hi, I found this very helpful and informative. I was struggling today with using my Equinox for the first time, so found this tutorial and it has given me more confidence to try again. I have come back to metal detecting after a 30 year break; machines have moved on a bit and not like the old machines which were basically just turn on and go! I have had numerous machines over the years and I found the best one for me was the Minelab Sovereign Elite which was great for beach work. Unfortunately, this Equinox 800 is a lot more sophisticated for me (I'm 75 years old). A big thanks from the UK, you're great!

    I received my NOX 800 on Friday. I wish they'd sent the full Owner's Manual with it. Reading it on my phone is a PITA and the same with my computer workstation. The Quickstart Guide is very barebones. Not a lot of info, but it will get you started. Your 'basic' and 'advanced' videos have been a tremendous help! Thank you, so very much. I'm sure there are volumes, yet to be learned. But, you have certainly given us 'newbies' a leg-up.

  • @jeffmcclendon3835

    Good video to show beginners basic operation.
    Instead of doing a factory reset at startup, you can just hold down the black detect/mode button on the left for 5 seconds until you see SP on the screen and reset the search mode you are using to factory defaults.
    The threshold tone does not help you detect small targets in any mode. Instead, it tells you if you are passing the coil over a discriminated/rejected target. The threshold tone will momentarily go silent or null over the rejected target. It is a good alternative instead of hunting with the horseshoe button depressed all of the time so that all metals including iron are accepted. The frequent iron low tones can get annoying. If I hear the threshold tone go silent in say Park 1 but I have what seem to be good numbers I can also quickly press the horseshoe button to double check for iron and decide to dig or not.

    The one thing that I would like to mention is the power button.
    A short press of the Power button turns the detector on and off.
    A long press (5 seconds) restores the whole detector to factory settings.
    Without thinking, someone might turn it on with a long press every time and erase any of their personal settings.
    But this video is obviously titled Getting Started, just wanted to add that piece of information.

    Hi Larry, my name is Allan Facey and I’m from Australia. I enjoyed your video and I think the Equinox 800 is just what I need. You see, I’ve been looking for a missing aircraft VH-MDX for the last twelve months. This aircraft went down over the Barrington Tops in 1981 with five people on board. I think it’s lying on the side of the mountain with a sixty degrees slope so with forty years of growth and decay I’m sure it is buried. The next time I go in I hope to purchase the Equinox 800 and take it with me. Thanks again Allan

    Fantastic video, step by step instructions on each setting. I have decided on the the 800 over the 600 and from watching your video I think it will be easy to set up. I did talk to a factory rep recently and he advised it could be powered on and go hunt, but I do understand an adjustment for ground balance would be good even if you want to hunt this way. But with your settings I think the learning curve will be much easier. I look forward to getting the 800 and and learning while I hunt. Thanks for your great video !

    Thank You Larry for taking time out to make videos on the Equinox 800 they are very informative. I finally bought a Equinox 800 after watching your videos on the 800 it's a little awkward with the 11 inch coil so I ordered a 6 inch DD coil which should help with the weight and benefit the 800 even more. Do you have any suggestions on carbon fiber shafts.

    You do got some good videos. Thanks for making them. I just bought my equinox yesterday and was at the GPAA here in Alabama. I pulled it out and after a few minutes I just put it back in the box until I could watch me a video. I’ve watched two of your videos and could take it out now and hunt. Not for gold yet but hint still the same.
    Yesterday it just confused me trying to hold hunt with it but I owned a xterra 705 a couple of years ago and just knew I need to learn at least a little bit about it before attempting more advanced hunting like gold right out of the box.
    You’ve helped me a lot. Thank you brother.

    Love and enjoy your videos, awesome, presentation, it's like having a discussion about a hobby (Screen Protectors....aren't the Cool Guy!!!)
    I bought the MineLab 440....first....just for target "flagging", went on to buy the Equinox 800 & XP Deus last Monday 5/10th.
    The MineLab Vanquish series......let's say the 340, was probably what I was using a tech goes 45 years ago at 12 years of age.
    Digging up "Greatgrandpa's.....I'll say "WWII" yard :) all the coins from that era, even the metal penny's which BTW....don't target on the 440....you have to go to iron mode.
    Oops that's a double sweep.
