- Today i decided to try the waterproof part of my Equinox 800 by giving it a bath!
Also the first show off of our new intro!! enjoy.
Hey why not check out our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or website. check the about tab on our channel for more info!
Well at least your machine is now fully cleaned and it really is water proof. Awesome stuff and I'm itching to get out now lol
Cheers for watching mate! yes me too i really want to get out now!
Ahoy!! Came Over for a wee bit from lee Lee Gypsy. I rang ye wee bell as well. Fair Winds, Smiles and May God bless !
Thank you for the support matey! Just returned the sub! great channel matey
Right on.... I have had mine in the ocean but never 100% submerged.
Hey Liz thanks for checking out my video! Hope your well!!
That was cool i need one now. Thank you for the test my friend
There a great machine mate!
My understanding is that it is supposed to be operated underwater only with the waterproof headphones attached. Apparently the cap on the connector is not meant to be a good waterproof seal like the connection with waterproof headphones. It worked out fine for you but it was only inches underwater and there is a lot less water pressure. You really can’t operate it fully underwater anyway without waterproof headphones as you won’t get sound from the speaker and wireless headphones signal doesn’t transmit through water very well. I used mine in shallow water quite a bit this year but did not submerge the control box. I was using wireless headphones, a bit of a risk as they are not waterproof, but I tested and I could not shake them off my head no matter what. Definitely getting WP headphones this year! ATB&HH!
Oh thats great advice mate! i did notice that there was a rubber seal on the cap that covers the headphone connection. but never thought too much about it.. hahaha thank got it survived! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Missed the live part but i watched it
Thanks for watching matey!
That's showing some real love for your nox it will be bubble bath and candles next
Mate!!! Its what happens when the lights go out ;-) hahaha thanks for watching matey
That’s one way to make sure it’s waterproof 👍👍
yes this is true! thanks for watching matey
lol When you told Alexa to set a 30 minute timer, my Alexa set a timer as well. Great test, my friend!
hahahah thanks matey! yes i was thinking about that when i uploaded it!! hahah
Big Thank's from Wayching,Perfect Video from Your Friend in YTube of Morocco
Thank you for coming and watching! :-)
Great intro! That's definitely one way of proving your machine is waterproof!!
ahh thanks mate! the intro is only short! Thanks you for stopping by.
You forgot the bubbles and rubber ducky :) Great video. Make sure you thank Alexa :)
Hahaha i will have to make a re-make! thanks for being there! was fun
Good video! Need to take one scuba diving.
That weill be great!
Hello friend, I am already here visiting and supporting your channel the Equinox test was incredible, this machine is incredible I always wanted one but since I was not going to use it in the water I opted for a vanquish that for me is almost the same detector, I send you my greetings 👋🇲🇽 and my like goes 👍
Thank you for supporting our channel. Yes I hear really good things about the vanquish..stay safe matey
Should only use cold water anyway. Warm would expand it slightly and may break a seal.
Wow! Lovely content 👌🏻👌🏻😍😍
Thanks for sharing 💖
Thank you for watching :-)
I’ve knocked mine in to the rock pools a few times and thankfully all been ok. Hopefully going to try it wading in the sea when we can get back out 😃
Yes i feel a lot more confident now i have tested it in water, i would defo always rinse the salt water off with clean water after been in the sea just incase haha. thanks for droppin in and watching mate!
That was brave. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for watching matey! I appreciate the support! :-)
Glad u did it before warranty runs out. A mate had one leak through the Battery compartment ,just subbed u back cheers Glenno
Oh! Man it pretty scary doing it in the bath! I know its waterproof but just like you say you just never know if it might leak.. thanks for subbing back mate I really appreciate it.
Very cool, great show, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for stopping by
I'm glad the metal detector survived! Lol

That’s nice! Really cool! It’s interesting to see this! Keep it up! Fun water testing!

i should do that to mine, while it's still under warranty, LOL you panicked when you tried turning it back on hahaha,

Hahaha yes I did think after that video had been filmed that it was under warranty still so would have been all good! And yes I nearly cried on cam when it didnt turn on first time hahahaha. Thank for watching mate

Wow its a brave sampple my friend,keep it up and more more items sampple like any kinds of gadgets... thanks for visiting my channel
Thanks for visiting me too! and your welcome!
@@TheMetalDetectingChannelthanks also and Godbless...
@@ransudoublechanneltv3711 you are welcome! You have a great channel
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel thanks for supporting me...
I have submerged mine in beaches. The shaft got water and makes it heavier. Also the it is hard to swing it and it may wobbles a little.
Yes when I took it out the water that's the first thing I noticed! Hey thanks for viewing it mate!
Always wanted to get into metal detecting but never felt the need to purchase equipment but I guess it would be a way of cleaning up the environment while I have some fun. Might be a good investment. What do you suggest for someones first machine starting out?
Glad your gear was waterproof that is always great to know the limits of your gear! Thanks for your support friend! Much love ✌❤😃
Depends on what you want to spend! i hear the sipmlex is a great machine and the minlab vanquish is also great. There are many.. Glad you enjoyed watching. Stay safe mate
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel that's what I ran into when looking... Oh man what choices!
Honestly made me nervous too! Good to test it though. Looks like the water still got underneath the screen protector. Nice, risky video!
Yeah it was just the scratch protection sticky screen so not so much of a problem as it comes with like 12 in the box lol. Thanks for checking out my channel mate! The support is much appreciated.
Muy buena prueba, así ya queda preparado pa las búsquedas, ya suscrito a tu canal y va mi like, un gran saludo
Thank you coming and giving me support friend! Stay safe and thank you.
Water test amazing bro keep safe always and Godbless
Thanks! You too! and thanks for coming over and checking my channel out mate
Hello my friend 🙋♂️Like your channel and let your very good videos give you mading👍🤝🎁
Thanks for visiting, Glad you enjoyed
some are only water proof for a few inch but once you go into 2/3ft they leek like a sive :( ive drowned 2 so for and wont be going back into the water until the warrenty has run out and i can waterproof it myself without voiding the warrenty
i have heard of a few horror stories of them letting water in! personally i would not risk it with oun thats out of warrenty unless like you say you are going to seal it properly :-)
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel ive got 2 800s and like diving so when the warrenty runs out ill do one like gigmaster and just silicon it to death and if i can wrap my head around how hes done it then ill do a waterproof case like philbo baggins,check out one of his videos
czcams.com/video/FxFQNHUGkkU/video.html
The real test will be at a depth of 3 meters, where the pressure is significantly different. And this is the test "Will it leak in the rain"
I guess you could look at it that way, if I'm been honest then I would advise nobody to use them under water without warranty still in place :-)
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel I'm just going to buy one for underwater search. And to be honest, I'm very much afraid) The guarantee will be in place, but given how our service centers work, they can shift the blame onto the user. In order not to engage in an exchange under warranty.
I have heard of them leaking before, and everyone had them changed by warranty so I think you will be safe.. maybe the wait for replacement might no be so fast
I’m about to submerge my AT Pro, I’ve had it for a year!! I’m a chicken
Scary stuff mate! Even though I know mine was waterproof I was still a little worried!
8 hours is a lot of time. nice.
🤝🤗🤝
I wanted to make sure it was fully dry lol.. thanks for watching mate
does that plug forthe headphones need 1to be on to be waterproof?
No it's waterproof as it is with wireless headphones, I don't think the standered headphones that come with the 800 are waterproof though.
Missed it sorry brother
hey! no worries matey! lease you came by and checked it out.. thanks man!
ALEXA get me a beer....lol
Aye shes a good lass haha
Thanks for activating alexa for me
Hahaha sorry mate but I might start random shouting alexa in our videos going forward hahaha
You just set my alexa to do a 30 min timer haha
Haha that's a old video! 🤣 glad you enjoyed it mate 👍 appreciate it
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel haha yeah cheers mate! Just got a nox 600 and the guy told me it was better to get a cover for the rain, but i thought it was waterproof anyway! Lol
@@jathe1st376 hahaha yeah mate 100% waterproof! I still use my 800 4 years on and never once worry about the rain!
@@jathe1st376 p.s amazing machine is the 600 pal! You will love it
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel awesome man! Thanks for the info and reply! I cant wait haha, been on the garrett 250 for 5/6 years now, its honestly been amazing, but time for a long overdue upgrade! 😂
itts a grean detector ;) some day ill gona get en minelab,
I love it! I have the whites mx sport but I love my nox800 better! Thanks for watching mate!
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel ;) thansk you ;) for good videos ;)
@@JohnnySwedishScrapper cheers mate!
What year did you buy it?
2021
Like 25 👍👍👍
Thank you for the support!
Thank you💪
Hello bạn. Những công cụ quá hiện đại. ❤❤🤝🔔🎷🎷👌🙆♂️
Thank you :-)
Hello good Detektor
Thank you for watching mate:-)
Now try leaving it in over nite 🤙
Hahaha i know there is warrenty but im too scared!
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel they are designed to be used under water, you will be able take it in the sea for a full day no problem
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire hahaha still scary lol
My Equinox 800 just drowned at the lake 🤬🤬
Water is behind the control screen
🤬🤬🤬🤬
One month out of warranty
Ahh sorry to hear that mate! That's a bummer. I'd maybe email Minelab and get them told. Have you checked to see if its not just the screen protector that has the water behind it? When I submerged mine for that video I thought water had got behind mine but it was the sticker only. Hope you manage to get it sorted.
Was it under warranty when you tried this?
Hey mate yes this was under warranty still, not sure I would like to risk it now it's out of warranty:-)
I bought mine in 2020 and never been in water it’s only got 5 hours on it. I’m wondering when it was that they fixed the problem with leaking
@@robertvanalstine4963 I'm not if they ever did, I've used mine since in heavy rain but I'll not be putting it completely under water again now its out of warranty

Thank you for your support and for stopping by and checking us out!
Are you gonna throw it in to the sea with a big lump of iron roped around it?😂👍
I was surprised that it floats!
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel i think it sinks maybe when its rod is filled with water
@@nietlullenmaargraven1867 That is possible, hahahaha
Интересный канал.Я с Вами.
Thank you for stopping by and watching mate. :-)
Nice channel, very interesting, Lets connect our channels. 👍👍👍😁
Thanks for watching!!!
Has it leaked yet using it in the sea
Hey Stan, it's still water tight last time I had it in the river! Although it only went maybe a couple of feet for say 30mins and was fine not sure how it would do a few meters down:-/
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel I'm still deciding on whether to get the Legend or Nox 800. I've heard 0 problems with legend so far but Nox a lot. I'll be using it snorkeling in the sea and mostly wet sand. Hard to decide
@@stanvisualseychelles932 both great machines! We have tested the legend on a few of our videos. I guess if you used the simplex then the legends great as you will sort of be familiar with tones VDI range ect and same if you have used a minelab. I'd always go with Minelab as these have been proven for years on the beach. I hear of the horror stories of them leaking water in but you do get a 2 year warranty with the Nox :-) 😀
