About time, someone who explained very simply, thank you.
Thanks Peter. 👍
Just picked up my 600 after much deliberation on what to choose for my first real detector. Was a bit confused/overwhelmed when I turned it on for the first time, and decided to do some more "studying" before I fire it up for real. Your video has been the best I've seen so far in explaining these beautiful machines. Thanks for making me feel like less of a dummy. :)
Thanks Tom! Appreciate it. Good luck 👍
I have had my nox for about a year and I keep coming back to this video, when I forget what some of the settings are. thanks for explaining it so well.
You got it!
Hello Iffy Signals. The first thing I did after ordering my Nox 600 was watch videos such as yours and reading any info on metal detecting forums. After receiving my Nox, I took a picture of the quick reference pamphlet (included with detector) with my phone. This way I was able to refer to it when I needed to when out in the field. Don’t let this machine intimidate you. It doesn’t take long to get the hang of it. Keep up the great vids. _/
Great beginner process and info Luis! Thx
Great vid for beginners like me, lot explained , thank you Luis,
I purchased the Equinox 600 as it was recommended as a affordable option for beginners as its versatility and is completely water proof up to 16 feet of water because I want to be able to beach detect. So far I love this detector, I went detecting out in the dried up lake in my back yard and have found mostly junk and a few coins from the 1970s, so far nothing great yet. Hopefully some day. Im excited to get to the beach soon. Thank you so much for the video.
Welcome 👍
Excellent. I got the machine a few months ago and thought I was smart enough to figure it out without a tutorial (I had previously owned a White's Electronics). But, alas, I'm not that smart. So, this tutorial was exactly what I needed. I knew the technology but not the machine. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Thanks Ray, good luck with it.
Brilliant and helpful video, thank you. I was actually sincerely regretting buying the 800 until I watched your video. I will no doubt watch this tutorial on several more occasions, time well spent whilst getting use to this new machine. Again thank you.
Thx! Glad it helped.
Really well-done. Thank you for taking the time to help us out.
Thx Rolling thunder 👍
2 weeks I’ve have Nox 800. Watched like 40 vids.
This has been the simplest and most helpful.
People so often just scroll through the controls as if the complete rookie even knows the words that are being said.
Even in my own professional work setting, I try to talk as though the lay person has never heard the words I’m saying.
Thanks! Congrats on the new machine. HH.
though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Thanks 👍
Used a Whites back in the Stone Age. Now that I am retired, I have the time to go play! Ordering the Nox 600 tomorrow, and this vid was excellent; made me feel very comfortable with my choice now! They have come a looong way!
Thanks!
Welcome! Good luck with it 👍
Thanks man! I was wondering how to turn this thing on!! Now I don’t have to make the beep noises myself!!
Hahahaha! Turn it on and maybe Rebecca wont smoke your A@@ every week. 👍
@@IffySignals I thought she was taping a penny to the bottom of his coil. Now it totally makes sense lol
You did a good job on this video Mike. You really seem to understand your machine!
Hey Jerry, thanks allot. Sometimes when i’m making the comparisons I get questions like “is it easy to use”? Or the last one which prompted the video was how the Equinox was to complicated but the Vanquish was not waterproof. So i figured a simple breakdown would help.
In Colorado, we had a pretty cold and snowy winter which caused many cancelled detecting days. So, i'm relearning the Nox 800 which I was introduced to last year. Your video is just what I needed. I'm saving it for review later on as well. Thanks!
Glad it helped Bruce 👍
Thank you so much! Straight to the point and nobody else I really learned a lot without having to listen to a lot you’re awesome
Thx Frank. Glad it helped.
Very cool, Iffy, I am learning my Nox, and this did answer some of the questions I did have. Thanks, Buddy!
Thx Ed! Glad it helped. Email me if you need any help.
Great explanations and tutorial with targets! Best I’ve seen yet. Thank you for doing this video😎
Thx Lisa!
Great basic video on how to get started. I just received my first real detector a equinox 800 2 days ago. Unfortunately it's been in the 20s and it snowed 6 inches. Yesterday it got to 40 melted some of the snow at the local park. So today my wife and out fury child are going to give it a go. I'm excited like a kid on Christmas day ☺
Congrats on your new machine. Winter does suck!
Fantastic video brother. Great for newbies to the nox 600 or 800. Very informative . And you made it very easy to understand. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Robert 👍
Thanks Mike, I just got the Equinox 800.
This video has already helped me, I’m picking I’ll be watching it a few times🤙
Nice bud! Congrats!!
Bri, this video is a better tutorial than the official minelab video.
Thabk you for your time and upload.
Glad it helped. Appreciate it.
Been using my simplex for a good while now and started with a vanquish. Now getting a equinox 800 and this video really helped bro thanks so much 👍
Awesome! Was watching your race last night and heard you say that. Congrats 👍
Thanks for the information. My NOX 800 will be showing up Tuesday and this will help me get started.
Awesome. Congrats on your new machine.
I can't believe what I'm hearing about the equinox. I have the Garrett AT pro, which is amazing, but these features are so much more advanced, which boils down to more knowledge of what's beneath the coil (I think I've only been doing this for two years lol) can't wait to get my equinox 700, I hike/explore a lot and want to be a little stealthy times my Garrett AT pro is too big and really can't conveniently collapse it. Love how the equinox could fit into a backpack. It's all good though. Don't mean to talk negatively about the Garrett ATP....
The Equinox lineup is a great upgrade over the AT Pro. 👍
i am watching all video on this topic going to get this one to hunt with..Learn much i can then i be ready for the field..I like all functions of this machine only HOBBY so i can do it all with this one machine..we do have a gold belt through this town i live in so i be able to look for pile of gold..I found everything with my Tek2 but no gold..i did find gold rings it a good relic metal detector i dig axes at 3 feet deep.but i sold it to buy this one.cant wait see how many different coils i can get to work with this machine
Great choice Hillbilly. Good luck 👍
ROCK AND ROLL LIVES. Glad you have the NOX.
Thanks Steve. Rock on homie!
Thank you for the info, just got my 600 yesterday, an early birthday gift! Be safe! 🛫🛫🛫
Hey Freddy, Congrats and happy birthday!! Thx Mike
Thanks for posting. I just opened up my new equinox 800. I think it’s going to be awesome!!!
Congrats! Its a great machine.
Great video. Just got my 800 yesterday and this was extremely helpful!
Thx Ray, congrats on your 800
I ❤️ The Nox 600, I run pretty much on stock settings, just bump up the sensitivity when searching old places and trashy sights I use the 6" coil 😊
Yes! The Nox is definitely an awesome machine. Thx
Great video mate, thanks for keeping it clear and simple!
Your welcome. Thx
I just purchased a equinox 800 and this helps thanks.
Welcome! Good luck 👍
Lovely presentation. Straight to the point.
Thank you 👍
Awesome explanation of the settings and easy use. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Thx Clayton! You too bud 👍
thank you! just got 600 and had litle to no idea what I was doing :D
Nice! Good luck 👍
Excellent job! Thanks for making this so helpful!
Thx Phil! Glad it helped.
A great review mate, well explained and easy to understand :)
Thanks Southern Cross. 🥳🥳
I just got my Max 600 and I thought mine was broken.....until I watched this! Thank you!
Welcome, glad it helped!
Hi Mike, just noticed as you were scrolling through the settings and there exactly like mine... the only difference was my speed recovery is set on 4.... great explanation bud it's really an easy machine to use
Hey Jim! 👍 i bounce around 4-6 depending on the site.
Thanks. I too am regretting buying the 800. The threshold is not a real threshold (except in gold mode) but I can't use single frequencies in gold mode (except 20 and 40) and I'm disappointed in the depth compared to my Sovereign. Oh well, it's only money. You did a great job explaining the features and I thought mine was defective until I saw yours blinking while being set up. You would think for that kind of money they would through in some instructions and a charger. With my old Eldorado 35 years ago I could find Indian head Pennys at 7 in. every day in the common in Salem Ma. I think those days are gone.
Thanks Robert. Glad it helped 👍
This was great, thanks for all the helpful tips!
Welcome. Thanks for watching
Thanks for making this video very HELPFUL and educational 👍🏼👍🏼.
Welcome RG, glad it helped
Great job. Simple and helpful!!
Thanks HD 👍
Great video with very clear explanations
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job on demonstrating the Nox..
Thanks Dan 👍
Very helpful just got one of these. Had an xterra 505. Headphone jack stopped working. Trying to get the 505 fixed by minelab and use it as back up machine or for tougher terrain since it's pretty light with the 18.75khz coil on it.
Nice! Good luck with it. HH Mike
Thanks my man. Makes sense now. Cheers
Welcome Tom, glad it helped.
Well done iffy!!!!
Thanks Rebel!
A very nicely done review. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Ian! Appreciate it.
Thanks mate i think you just convinced me i made the right choice with the Vanquish 540 i think its simple or as hard as i want if that makes sense
Thx Jeff! Glad it helped. TC, Mike
Very nice informational video. Good job.
Thx Mamas, appreciate it 👍
Great tutorial Iffy Signals
Hey Ed, thanks bud.
Excellent tutorial
Thx Jade!
bro that was an awesome tutorial good job!
Thx Brockton! Appreciate it.
Thanks for breaking it down! Still saving to buy a detector and It’s between this one and the Nokta Makro simplex.
Thanks Amanda!!
I have 4 friends that bought the Simplex and did not like it. Two of them bought a Nox 600 and another has his Simplex up for sale and is using a Deus. I'm using the Nox 800 and absolutely love it.
Good advice Jerry. Soon we will see Amanda featuring videos - Village_ID10T Detecting 🥳

Very helpful! Thank you 😊
Welcome
I just got my equinox 600 yesterday i am following your instructions. What are purchased the 800 but my budget did not allow For it.
Congrats Nan. Great machine.
Now if I'll just remember to do the noise cancel and the ground balance more often on my Nox than the never that I've been doing, hunting should go smoother 👍 Thanks for showing me that again ☺
Hey Kayes, you can leave the GB at zero. I usually do unless im getting ground feedback. Your welcome. TC
Thanks so much really appreciate that was a big help
Welcome Joe. Glad it helped.
Brilliant. Thank you
Thanks Brendan
Good stuff bro u rock I learned couple things I did not know swing on 👊
Thanks Charles. Glad it helped
Great info thanks for sharing
Thx Cain 👍
Brilliant well explained 👍
Thanks you.
Thank you so very much for your straight forward and easy to understand explanation of this machine.
Simple is good.. d:^)
Welcome Freddy 👍
When buying an Equinox, you have to set aside enough money to replace the shaft with a carbon fiber upper/lower, coil ear strengtheners, screen cover, arm cuff, SureGrip, and wireless bluetooth earbuds (maybe I should have just bought a Vanquish 540). Great video Iffy!
Hahahaha! You went all out. I saw it. Got a package in from Jim today. Next giveaway will be a sure grip v3, control box bumper and more.
Thanks man, helpful and to the point! Liked and Subscribed :)
Thx Sean!
Great video, thanks
Thanks John!
Brilliant, thank you
Thx Jim
Thank you big help 👍🏻
Welcome Ron.
This video is very helpful
Thx Jay
Great tutorial
Thanks James 👍
Looks awesome. I can't decide if I want one of those or am amfibio multi.
Hey Spike, sorry i never used the Anfibio. But not sure I would ever buy a single freq machine again.
Well done!
Thx TB
Thank you, so much
No LC glad it helped.
Great vidoe buddy
Thanks Randy
Good video! I’ve had the Equinox 800 for less than 2 months and it definitely has a learning curve but the basic preset modes are easy to understand. I am interested in adjusting the recovery speed in trashy areas to see what I can find. Thanks for the video, very informative:)
Thanks! Yea the factory presets work great. Once you are comfortable with the tones and IDs recovery speed and Iron bias are good to play with for trashy sites and opening it up more. TC, Mike
How many times have I told you to keep your darn detector off the dining room table!
Hahaha! Sound just like her!
Well explained
Thank you
Nice thanks for sharing take care be
Thx Kayla! Fan # 1 🥳
Mike thanks for showing the simplicity of it. Always helpful. Question are you running with the Detedt-Ed Red Belly carbon shaft? and if so how do you like it?
•Richard MDB•
Thanks Rich! Yea I have the detect eds. Really like it. Couple years old now and going strong.
Thank you!
Hey Wheat State Detectors. Welcome!
Iffy Signals glad to be here!
awesome!! very detailled!i just got a 600 so this video was very helpful! thank for sharing! do you ground balance every time? the manual and many say it can be left at 0 ?but it doesnt seem right to me. tho not used to the machine well enough. hope youre well!! GL&HH!!
Hey Relics, yea you can leave it at 0 unless your getting ground noise when you lump the coil accepting everything. If you hear some ground noise do a GB. Glad it helped. TC, Mike
@@IffySignals awesome! Thank you so much!!!
When you are pumping the coil in the air to ground balance, you are holding down the accept/ reject button, correct?
Correct Norma. Hold it down until the numbers level out
Thanks for the tutorial, just unboxed mine today. One question: Where did you get the control panel cover?
Congats. Got it off eBay.
How do you like it?
One downvote from an AT Pro user with more to come 😂. Thanks for this. I take delivery tomorrow so this should help. 👍
Thanks Jay Cee! Awesome congrats on your new machine.
Thanks, just got my nox 700 and when i turn it on after charging its screaming with numbers all over the place, might reset and dont see the little icons at the bottom of the screen when i try to figure it out.
Hi Deborah, thats EMI from your power and wifi. Lower the sensitivity way down to 5 if trying to learn it inside.
@@IffySignals thank u very much
If I reset my machine will I lose the two updates I put on? I love my nox 600. Thanks for the lessons.
update is firmware which is installed permanently. You can reset all settings without problem.
Thanks, no you will not lose updates. sorry for the late reply. TC Mike
For the next one don’t hide the equinox screen when explaining. Nice video!
Sorry bud.. i start rambling and lose focus on screens sometimes.
How to you like the sure grip on the equinox? Where can you purchase them?
Hey MT, i like it. Jim at equinoxbits makes them.
Like 25 amigo disfrutando de tu episodio saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 te esperamos por nuestro canal
Awesome! Thank you 👍
Top right
Thx
Nice job man! Now do I stick with the Etrac or go with the 600.😖
Hey Dugmoney. Depends on your hunting style. I had the CTX and sold it after using the Nox. But im not a coin hunter. If i was beaches and parks i would have the CTX. Im always in the woods and the Nox is allot faster and lighter.
Iffy Signals hey bud! Yea, that’s all I hunt as well... ghost towns and cellar holes in the woods in western PA. When you get a chance let me know your settings. I always ran the Etrac in 2 tone ferrous and I modified the “Andy S pattern” to my hunting style, it’s the pattern in my avatar. It’s a killer program in the iron. If your looking for a video idea, show us how you run the machine in the woods and go through your settings. If ya want to. Thanks man! Best of luck & HH!
I have just purchased a Equinox 800, would you recommend wearing headphones
Yes 👍
