This time on Preacher Digger! “First Time Using the Equinox 800”. In this episode, I go try out my new Equinox 800 back at Relic Roundup where I have hunted that place countless times with my AT Max and CTX 3030, just to see if I could find anything. Man! Was I surprised! I hope you enjoy Episode 46. Remember, the greatest treasure isn’t what can be found on earth, it can only be found in heaven!
Keep Searching my Friends!

Great video thanks, just got the Minelab 600 yesterday and put it together today it’s charging at the moment, I’ve heard so many great reports about it can’t wait to get out and test it. Regards from Ireland.
I love my Nox I have two 800
That's why I review my places more than once. But yes the Equinox seems great! I'm gonna use mine for the first time ever. Just waiting on thaw! Thank you for sharing!
As soon as God heals me so I can walk on unlevel ground without a walker and not fall over so I can get back out detecting I'm going to see about getting one of them there 800's. It's been 6.5 years since the motorcycle wreck that messed me all up... But I know God is faithful and in HIS time HE's going to heal me and remove all this nasty nerve pain I live with 24/7...
The doctors done told me that the more the nerves heal the more pain I'd be in, so they must really be healing. The pain put me in bed back in 2016... I know my healing miracle in on it way.... PLEASE PRAY!!!!
I pray you get better soon doing what you love. Prayers. God bless.
Try Kratom and msm.
Praying for you Bobby. For Complete healing for you! He is willing and able! So Father let your healing power and grace flood Bobby to over flowing and we thank you and praise you and give You the Glory for ever and ever Amen!
Nice Hunt my friend hunt congrats on your super finds just subbed you from Darnell channel and I happy to find another Christian Digger on the Tube in this day and Times HH&GL and God Bless
Amen. Thanks for subscribing and watching. HH and God bless
Nice finds sir! I recently purchased the nox 600 to go along with my Simplex and absolutely have enjoyed it. I hunt a lot of farmland so I also bought the 15” coil to cover more ground and the 1st time out with the 15” coil, popped up a 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar. Like you stated, the simultaneous multi frequency is nice. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more of your hunts. God bless you brother.
Congratulations on the walker! Yea I love the Equinox Multi Frequency. Thanks for watching and happy hunting.
I love the HOLY WATER touch. I love watching you and Nugget. I am in music ministry. I just got my detector for Christmas, have not had a chance to use it yet.
Yea every youtuber had a gimmick with their water so I thought I'd do that. Trying to get Nugget to come back for another video. Keep watching, learning, and swinging. God bless and happy hunting
Great video, I too have the Equinox 800 and really love it. I also have the 6” coil and it’s amazing how it will work in trashy areas.
I havent got the 6" yet but I soon will. Thanks for watching. Hh
I should have told you too I just received the 15” coil but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet because we still have a lot of snow in my area.
I love my Equinox such a great metal detector. It’s so cool that you found a silver half dollar your first time using it. Loved the message at the end of the video. Good luck on your future hunts.
Hello ! Im a new subscriber and live 25 miles north east of Houston....anyway, Im in the market for an upgrade in machines....I swing a Garrett Grand Master Hunter CX 3...it has done me well with rock solid quality. Its actually been years since I was actively hunting and now I'm getting back into it. I was leaning toward the Garrett AT Max, actually I was SURE I was going with AT Max until I compared the two at an area shop. The Equinox 800 seemed more sensitive when air testing at the detector shop.....however, I research everything I buy especially when performance in the field matters so much in this hobby. So that brought me here. I found your video while searching for those like yourself that have experience with a range of different machines. I have to tell you when I saw you pull that half dollar out with iron all around it...that impressed me big time !
I like Garrett machines and have the AT Max and AT Pro. While I have nothing negative to say about either machine, both are good ones to use, my preference, especially in heavy iron areas I the Equinox 800. The multiple frequencies truly do make a difference. The bottom line is find machine you can afford and learn that machine well. To be honest I've had great success with the AT Max, but I've gone back over many areas I hunted with it with my Equinox 800 and found even more...one being that half dollar in the video and those watch fobs. Good luck and happy hunting.
Nice finds! I bought the nox last Feb 14th 2018. Ive gone back over areas I've hunted with my Garrett 350 and have found lots of coins, relics and jewelry. Love this machine. Glad i chose to buy it over the max. Be safe out there and peace to all. Treasure is out there, we just have to find it.
Great finds guys! Awesome Fob and Ben Half! Love the Holy Water thing too. hehe.. HH Dewayne
Nice finds ..love the Franklin half...
@PreacherDigger. I just ordered one of these. I am new to the hobby. I live just north of Dallas. If you ever need someone to come hunt with you let me know. Would love to learn a few things.
Welcome to the hobby. I suggest you go attend one of the metal detecting clubs in your area also.
Nice dig, thanks for giving the Equixox 800 a run I was looking to purchase one and you sold me Have a great weekend and God Bless
It's a good machine worth the purchase. Thanks for watching. Hh
The minelab equinox 800 rules its class and pushing the boundaries of detectors twice the price and lotts more......
Awesome hunt and congrats on the new detector glad you like and I see why after this Greta hunt
Enjoyed the vid. There is an update for the Nox, but maybe the newer machines came updated. I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Good hunt.
I'll check on the update. Thanks for watching.

Very cool spot! Nice easy swinging and digging. Gotta love those spots. I got my Nox 800 this past summer. And the more I use it the more I like it. At first I wasnt sure about it but its just learning the machine. Its great.
I'm loving mine more and more
Preacher Digger ...for some reason at first I didnt feel it had the depth. But I think it was just more the fact that I hadnt gone over many deeper good targets. My ground is pretty well mineralized also.
Thank you for subscribing, came over to say HI and to return the honor!!! Congrats on your Nox800. Great graphics on the Preacher Holy Water, I was smiling ear to ear!!!
Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!
Thank you. It seems everyone has a gimmick water bottle these days and it was my hope people watching would get a kick out of the holy water.
And I loved it. You need to get a "Holy Water" sticker for it. I got the opportunity for only a couple of hours one day to dig with Kurt Franz of the Hoover Boys, and just before I had to leave he gave me the 1893 IHP he had dug (he knew I hadn't dug an 1800's coin yet) and then he threw me a new bottle of Hoover Boys Foo Foo juice, which I now used in all my videos!!!
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 I will have to make me a sticker for it.
Just bought a Nox 800....Metal Detecting Stuff in The Woodlands, Texas set me up with a very nice package that is on their website....Their "no junk 2" package came with some very nice accessories at a price that beat all others I saw on the internet AND I supported a local small business.
They are good people, that's where I bought mine. Thanks for watching
Good to know, thanks for the replies !
Great hunt Thanks for sharing Happy Hunting
Great finds! Who knows what all you will find now! Congrats on the half dollar! God bless!
Thank you. I'll be down in your parts next week detecting.
@@PreacherDigger I will see you Saturday!
Thanks for sharing the hunt and review. Take care.
What was on that property at one time? All kinds of relics for sure. New subscriber, God Bless.
There used to be 3 houses that sat in the area back from 1900-1930s. I made like 11 videos from that one place.
Great find!. You can read the writing on the Texas FOB? RR has given up a few WOW items too. Not bad for the first time out with the NOX 800.
The Texas fob say 10th District and has many towns listed on it. Still unidentified. Thanks for watching.
If you still using the Nox. What mode do you usually work in, Park 1 or 2/ Farm 1 or 2 ? And why do you prefer that mode please.
I normally stay in Park 1 and if I find a faint signal I'll switch over to Gold 1 and I can pin point better. I find Park 1 does what I need over the other settings.
Park1 is a higher iron discriminator i believe. I had always been on farm 1 or 2. Cause i thought that was the best setting for homesteads and fields. Before my fall, i was working park1 and it eliminated much iron since i was in area of a exploded chuck wagon. The iron stove went everywhere in pieces. Im learning to, when finding a decent signal, i switch on the all metal to hear all iron in the spot. That most times lets me know if its a bad signal from earth elements instead of possible target. Sorry for writing a book lol. Thank you for your time Michael
Just keep trying everything till you find what fits. I've stayed on Parl 1 because of all I have found
First time to your channel. Love the Holly water and a great video.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Glad you like the Nox, Preacher, I just bought one and it should be here by next Tuesday!
It's a good machine and easy to learn and use. Thanks for watching. HH
Nice finds. Especially that silver half that jumped out of the plug!
Those moments are few and far between but it was a site. I dug a key off to the right of that plug earlier.
Great video ! thanks for sharing your hunt and views on the Equinox
Thanks for watching
Who would give this a thumbs DOWN?? As a person progresses in detecting, they can tell the difference between who is serious and everybody else just making videos. Keep doing what it is you do Preacher!
IDX
Thanks
Fantastic hunting buddy, really enjoyed your video
Thank you and thanks for watching
What are your settings on the Nox 800
That particular day I was using standard Park 1 and default on all other settings. I still use pretty much the same but switch to field 1 from time to time.
Great video!
Thank you
Waiting on mine in the mail ! Can’t wait till I start swinging
You'll love it!
Same here! Should be here tomorrow, will be my first detector as well, looking forward to it :D
Got mine about a week ago , first time out I found 23 Coins in my own yard in about 1 hour of search time ! Love Mine its AWESOME MACHINE!
Nice hunt! Congrats!🎊🎉🍾
Thanks for watching
How are you doing with the max machine
Max or Nox? I love the Nox 800 so much I sold my AT Max and bought a second Nox 800. I love the Nox.
Great finds. . .:-)
Thank yoy
Excellent finds Preacher! I bought a Nox 800 a few months ago, and have never used it. . Might just have to break it out.
What are you waiting for? It doesnt have a big learning curve like the CTX. I literally turned it on and starting finding stuff. Now I have learned three sets of VDI #.. Max, Nox, CTX
I have been using the ctx every since it came out. Hard to use anything else lol!
From an English Preacher who loves to swing and dig
Be blessed in abundance
I have equinox by 6 months and i think is a great machine for silver but for others i dont find differences with my old gofind 40
Nice to see the nox pulling more stuff up. Nice hunts there. Love the rr seal, cool find.
Tc and Happy Hunting my friend
Yes that place keeps producing. Thank you and thanks for watching.
Nice saves. enjoyed the video. Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching
i noticed something on another nox 800 vid someone else noted.
seems the targets are only 2" deep when the nox is saying 8-10
have you noticed the depth estimate being on or off
I haven't noticed. Mine has been accurate.
@@PreacherDigger thanx for reply
Glad to see your equinox is pulling great things out of the ground!
Thanks me too
Great machine and hunt congrats HH
The key is a 21 on the Nox! Silver dime is 25-28 on my Nox 800
Hi Preacher, love the videos and the Lord! Wanting to get a detector myself but since I live near the beach, need one to handle land and water (salt/fresh). Do you have any experience with your arsenal around beach areas?
Either the Minelab CTC 3030 ($2500) or the Equinox 800 ($800). Both will handle salt water and run quietly with no chatter and dry sand too. Thanks for watching. Hh
Great hunt my friend you cant go wrong with the nox.. awesome machine 👊 GL&HH steve
Thank you and thanks for watching
Awesome video........
Thanks for watching
I'm from Australia and not sure what you called that last coin, it sounded like 58? Anyway, does that say on the bottom of that coin "In Gold We Trust?" My eyesight is going, so sorry for bugging you lol.
That was a 1958 Ben Franklin Half-Dollar and all US coins and currency has the motto "In God We Trust"
i have had my nox for about 2 years....just got the 6 inch coil for it....its a true coin sniper ...you will be digging coins out of plugs with nails in the same hole....i tell ya its worth getting that 6 inch coil!
So true. I have 2 Nox 800 and all the coils. Thanks for watching.
What mode you using on the nox
My default is Park 1, but from time to time depending on what or where I'm detecting I'll change them around but Park 1 is my favorite. You can watch my newer videos and I usually will show at the beginning what my settings are.
Hello,great detectorfilm I loved it ,could You tell me what Your camera's mark is?And I am interested in Yuor soundrecording how it works.?mark?Greetings from Belgium
You can look in the video description of my latest video for all the equipment I use. Thanks for watching.
Pretty sure this vid finally convinced me 2 pick the Equinox 800 as my 1st metal detector purchase 👍 thx for the vid
Thank you. I love mine and it's my go to detector over my CTX 3030 and AT Max
@@PreacherDigger well just placed my order so thanks again for your vid...Wish me Luck "HappyHunting"
Which is the best Fisher F75 or Minelab Equinox 800??
I've never used the F75 so I wouldnt know. I love the 800
I might have to steal this title. 😂 Mine first time using my EQ 900 should be pretty incorrect lol.
Lol
Love finding your channel. Left a 3 channels because of the swearing on their channels. Told one guy should watch their language because of kids. Told we mind my own ,GD business. So I really appreciate your videos
As it says in the Bible, "Dont cast your pearls before the swine."
Holy Water.....I love it!!👍👍
Nice hunt brother👍
Thank you.
I use a Nox too. I called the Franklin before you dug. Great machine!
Good call! Thanks for watching
Nice fines really enjoyed watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻Thks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching
what setting are you running?
My default setting is Park 1, Sensitivity at 22, Swing Return 4-5, 5 Tones, Multi-Frequency
@@PreacherDigger thank you sir
Great job!
Hi, thanks for sharing these videos.
My name is Mario Slvera, I am from Porto Alegre- Brazil, I have an Equinox 800.
I am struck by the tools you use, could you send me a link to purchase or inform me how I can buy a shovel and a knife that you use?
Thank you very much in advance for your attention.
Congratulations.
All the equipment that I use and links are in the description in my videos. Thanks for watching.
Or you could just tell Mario to search for metal detector tooling on Amazon and order it that way. That's what I would do Mario
S is for Sellers name brand Hoosier kitchen cabinet.
Thank you for the info and watching
Thanks for the subscription. Will work on future video content.
Thank you for watching
Still learning my 800 a little more each day!!!
Me too. Going back over places I have dug and finding things. Thanks for watching
@@PreacherDigger That's exactly what Dalton and I are doing. I have a 1922 farm on 2 acres I started exactly a year ago, and 2 weeks ago with 3 Nox's on the property we pulled out 2 more silvers and some more Wheaties!!!
isnt the ctx3030 suppose to be a lot better?
i have the 800. only minutes in it right now
I have the ctx 3030 and it is a higher machine but it is much heavier and slower. I got the nox 800 to have a lighter, faster return machine that us still multiple frequency. I use the AT Pro and Max as well.
I would love to get a Nox 800. Congrats on hitting 1,000 subs great job. I have noticed that for some reason you have subscribed to me about 3 to 4 times in the past 2 to 3. Days. Has RUclips been messing with you. I know they have been taking subs away from and taking my sub away from others and I don't know why. Just wandering. Glad to have you as a subscriber sir. Again Congrats on hitting 1,000 subs. Take care and HH. Jim aka Tennessee Gem
Thanks. I subbed to people then it doesnt show up on my list and I sub again. Its done this several times. Who knows what's going on..its RUclips
@@PreacherDigger Ok, thanks I couldn't figure it out.
I just got an Equinox 800 myself, qhen i get a church project for Samaritans Purse done im goung out and play with it.
Good luck and happy hunting.
gotta love the equinox! great video. gotta love the holy water! GL,HH
Everybody has a gimmick on their water I thought i would have one too. Thank you and thanks for watching. Hh
Oh boy, that Half dollar sure looked nice coming out!!
It did come out clean. I also took a 1907 Barber dime out nearby there and it was shiny as well. That ground is good to coins. Thanks for watching. HH
@@PreacherDigger It's so nice when they come out like that :) Such a Buzz!
so how much the overall in money?
Not sure what you're asking?
@@PreacherDigger how much money did you get for what you found?
@@ady7d77 none. I dont sell anything I find
came here because of the nox, subbed 'cause I like the channel. thanks
Thank for coming over and subscribing. The Nox is an awesome machine, wait till you see what I dug next with it...a big bucket list item! Hh
JJ Diggins here 👍🏼😁Awesome video I just purchased one 3 weeks ago great machine! What setting were u running did u change iron bias?
You'll love it. Thanks for watching. Hh
I use just the Park Setting 1 in the video and didnt change anything else since it was my first time.
Thanks that’s awesome I was out tonight and did pretty good I’m learning a lot about it!!
Wow such soft soil
Yes it is at least it was there. We do have other types as well. Thanks for watching
Holy Water burns my skin for some reason when detecting graveyards with my nightvision on.
No wonder..lol
PD is #466 on the top 1,000 detecting list
Woohoo! Better than 50%
I think equinox is great on silver but not so better of others on different targets
In my experience which are my last two videos and two upcoming videos it's been great for me on silver and relics. I had a killer relic hunt with it last week. Videos will be out starting next Friday. Keep swinging and Hh
The more you use your Nox the more you will like it. I love mine.
So far so true
I really like mine.
I'm liking mine too.
Preacher Digger It was a little different from the Garrett products. Thank you for subscribing to my channel!
Thanks for the sub. Subscribed to you a while back. 👍 keep up the great videos. I can’t wait for spring. Ground will be frozen till April sometime.
I'm waiting on warmer weather too to get back in the water to find some rings.
Man I love watch fobs & congrats on the Franklin half,it's kinda crazy I'm getting ready to get dressed for church & I see u subd me(much appreciated)so I make sure I'm subd to u which I already am,I go to this video &it had the devil's number of views so I almost didn't watch but u know what,we have the ultimate subscriber behind us,u keep at it brother &God bless--Brian
Thank you. I dont like that nunber either but greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world.
nice quotes at there end there.. i dont have a detector would be nice not too look at your own needs and send me one lol hh
Say pricher where or you'll from
I'm from East Texas near Longview, TX.
Really nice FOB
Thanks for watching
@@PreacherDigger You're welcome. Still haven't found a key fob yet!
New sub here. Nice video 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub and watching
Holy water! Ha!
How you like that? Make you smile? Thank you and thanks for watching
LIKE..
Itn doesn't count as a NOX find unless you show the signal and dig. Wayyyy_ too many detectorists showing "plants" and claiming actual finds. PLEASE show your finds.
It still counts....lol. and I did show some but not all. I agree there are many who plant but I don't. When I don't show the live dig I make sure I put the number up so that others will know what it registers. I've had many compliments because I show the panel with number. Thanks for the input.
Thanks for the sub.. subbed you back :) How do you like the 800? We also have a whites and the 800 finds LOTS of things the whites overlooks.
So far I'm loving the Nox. It's one weapon in my arsenal. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Let me guess, you get money from Minelabs. Another bias video to promote Minelab products.
Absolutely not. Never have. I have two Garrett machines (AT Max, AT Pro) and two Minelab machines (CTX 3030, EQX 800), and if you watched all my videos you will see I use them all. I've just been using the EQUINOX 800 here lately because its new. thanks for watching. Hh.
