- Last week I bought the Minelab Equinox 600. These are the results from my first week of metal detecting. I share my observations after one week of detecting with the Equinox.
Hello, my name is Merrill Kazanjian and I am a metal detectorist. This is a teaching channel where you will learn metal detecting techniques and gain knowledge. My channel, Metal Detecting NYC is a good place to learn metal detecting 101 on youtube.

I am a teacher and my channel will show you how to metal detect for beginners all the way through advanced techniques for metal detectorists. I am the owner of a Minelab Safari Metal Detector, a Garrett AT Pro (at pro metal detector youtube), a WOT coil and I can teach you how to recover the deepest of targets with a metal detector. My metal detecting finds include many gold and platinum rings and early American coins as well as British Colonial coins and Spanish Colonial Coins. Metal detecting is a hobby that millions of people around the world do. All you need to try is a metal detector some batteries, a digging tool and some patience. My first metal detector cost 30 dollars at BJ's and I dug enough signals to buy my first "real" metal detector with the change that I found with the 30 dollar toy model. I decided to start Metal detecting on RUclips because I feel the need to teach what I know. It has been a life changing activity for me and I want to share what I know. It is my hope that Metal Detecting NYC can become one of the biggest metal detecting youtube channels. My beach instructional videos include (or will include soon) , "metal detecting dry sand", (choosing a) "metal detecting sand scoop" and "surf hunting". On land, I use the website historic aerials to survey the history of a site so that I can continue metal detecting old homesites and other places with a lot of history.

Glad you're having a great experience with it. Best purchase I ever made! You will never regret it! Found awesome stuff that I missed detecting with the ATPro. Depth is amazing!
Great video Merrill... I've really been enjoying your videos... Thank you
I pinpoint at 90 degree angles. It really helps narrow down
Excellent episode and great info. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and finds. Take care.
Great Job Merrill 👍 glad your liking the Nox. Its a killer machine
Great video Merryl. Great finds and great information. Good job. Take care and HH. Jim
As usual, always interesting and entertaining
Your explanations and tutorials are really great. Especially to a guy like me who doesn't know what detector to get. I'm leaning towards the Equinox 600 and this video has taught me a lot! Keep up the excellent work! Angelo
Observation #11 the number on pinpoint right over target will give you more true VDI. It is another way to confirm targets. Great finds Merryl. That earing looks like maybe David Yurman.
Congrats on that new detector, I've had mine for over a year now and like it a lot.
Enjoyed what you were teaching in this video. I always look forward to your videos and rewatch many of them just to learn from you and others. Thank you! Patti Vosburgh. 👌👌👍👍😊
You and mike the scrapper, and dream car ,are my favorite scrapper and metals finders
Hey Merrill. Another great video. I just got the Equinox 800 earlier this week and I plan on taking it out for the first time tomorrow. Thanks for tips/info.
You are going to love it!
Chris V, congrats on you Nox purchase. I, unlike most all you tubers, did NOT fall in love with it when I first got it and began to use it. Actually I thought I screwed up buying it and wasting my money. BUT....both my digging partners had the 600 and kept encouraging me. I consider myself a pretty smart person, but it took me quite a while to get the hang of it. BUT...now, with the amount of silver (And one Solid Gold Freemason's 1906 Medallion) and other finds, I don't know how I could live without it.
Take your time, get to know it and it will produce big time for you!!!!
Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!
Merrill !! You are killing it with the Equinox !!
Hi Merril,
it is a bit confusing that you put Anfibio footage in the end of an Equinox review, however, when in water with anfibio you may want to crank the gain up to around 80 and use at least 14kHz.
Love the Equinox, it's an amazing machine👍👍👍👍
Merrill, Like I said, newer viewer to you channel, so I'm going backwards catching up. I've had the Equinox about 8 months now, and even though I didn't learn it as fast as you did, I can't live without it now!!!! I pretty much agree with all 10 of your tips, including it sometimes isn't as accurate as I'd like pinpointing. I HATE digging a hole twice for the same item.
Am also very much enjoying your monthly charts and your Millionaire series.
Keep 'em coming.
Rob
Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!
Ohh man what i Love your videos!! You are sooo good and funny person, defintely enjoying you videos, God bless and Keep the good work and good videos comming! Cheers!!
Im honored you say that! Thank you! :)
Great job sir! Best regards!
ground balance helps a ton. Always GB
Another great video 👍
Cool dude /had my equinox 800 for about a year great machine that pinpoint is a pain sometmes looking 2 get the big coil cheers from oz
Just watched the video again.. This video is the one Merrill where it all started when you fell in love with the Equnox !!! ☝ Lol...Great video one of your best!! 👍
Always neat to see when some tried out something for the first time 👍🏽👍🏽 great vid with good tutorial. My Nox 600 is great except for digging rivets 18” deep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤙🏽
Coney Island ahhhh, remember when life was fun before Covid?
very informative video!👍😄
Warriors....come out to playyyyayyyyy!!! Great Video. Thank you.
great video I feel as though we are in the same boat on the nokta and the equinox. I own the nokta impact , and love it. I also have access to the equinox as well. with that being said my buddy and i compare signals all the time. Both are excellent for target separation, and depth. the nokta is very chattery , but using one the past 3 seasons i feel as though i understand the noisiness, and am ok with it.. I am not into the beach modes as of yet. so this assessment is for parks fields and yards only. Im glad you have both. will keep watching you kill it with either machine!!
Merrill, Your first 2 observations are spot on. The nox excels with tiny targets. I dug a bb at about 18" deep already! As far as observation #2 - I agree that the pinpointing is sketchy and inconsistent. I hardly use the pinpoint function but do it the old fashion way by scanning twice 90 degrees apart. One tip to help pinpoint using the machine is to hold the coil far away from the target before you hit "pinpoint" - that seems to help somewhat. I enjoy your videos and observations! Good luck & keep swingin...
This is the Minelab Marketing Department. We'd like to offer you a jod as our director of sales!! Lol - Great vid!! I'd LOVE to see what that 600 can do in parks and trashy old house sites. No beach here in Atlanta!
Good job
Been watching some of your older videos, and I'm hoping someone told you about the Iron bias trick or tip? If you get a jumpy or deep signal, hit the iron button (the horseshoe button) When you swing back over the same signal, if it doesn't grunt or show lower VDI numbers; then it should be a good target. This tip/trick will save you lots of time and digging; unless, you are digging everything. I love the Equinox series, I have the 800; love the multi-frequency
I’m forever saying target the way u did lmao shit sound fancy af 😭🤣🤣🤣
Buena cacería compañero...yo tambien me compre las zapatillas de neopreno..pero aún no me acostumbro..saludos
I believe I mentioned this to you once before, but maybe not. If you paint your sandscoop with RustOleum Appliance Epoxy paint (spray can), your scoop hand will no longer get black from the raw aluminum. Wipe the shaft down with acetone (nail polish remover) before painting, and put on two coats. Allow to dry for 24 hours and you’re good to go. I’m not certain, but a clear coat spray my also work. I like the durability of the Epoxy.
With pinpointing in sand, sometimes the target gets pushed out of the way. Just my experience. I own the 690 and the 800. Love them both. Happy hunting!
NYC in the building!
YESSIR!!!!
Nice video brother
I've owned my ctx three years this coming December. I've hunted many many hours with it and still have trouble pinpointing. I'm thinking do to its powerful stock coil it will hit a target even if its outside the coils perimeter. It can be frustrating.
Very nice finds. That Tiffany earring must weigh a ton lol...made my earlobe hurt just looking at it.
Thank you for your comparison on the machines it's great info!

Darrell from hello world knows a good bit about Nokta infibio. Maybe he can give you some tidbits about the settings. I too love what I'm seeing with people that use the Nox 600 or 800. Im just about sold on it. I live in missouri and have fresh water lakes and rivers. I hunt mostly parks but am wanting a good machine. And waterproof also
Interesting video! When you're noise canceling it's the last setting to make and hold the nox handle PARREL to the ground.
Good luck! HH
I learned something today to use with a full charge.
I've also noticed discrepancies in the way my 600 pinpoints, so I did some pinpointing air tests. A few targets showed up right in the middle where they should be. BUT, more often, the targets showed up at about 4 O'clock or 10 o'clock on the edges of the coil. This isn't as bad when I have my 6" sniper coil on so I'm guessing it's some kind of anomaly with the standard coil that I have.
Love this informative video, great at explaining it's entirely, been watching alot of your videos, do you own a equinox 800 and if so which machine do you prefer?, Keep the videos coming, and pulling out all those rings
good dig
I still have a Whites XLT and the VDI numbers are mostly right on for coins. Jewlery, I have not found much, gold or silver never found any.
Hey ringo... i knew you would end up purchusing an equinox. They seem to be the bees knees of detectors atm. Im upgrading myself to the equinox at the end of the year... i cant wait, though in the mean while my 705 does the job nicely. Good to see that you almost paid it off in the first week with the jewelry value... not scrap value.
Swinin wit' Willy, that's what I started with, and still have as my backup, my 705. Loved it from the moment I got it. Used it 2 years daily until I found out about the Nox. Whereas the Nox loves deep dimes, that 705 LOVED quarter signals ALL the time!!!!
Rob
When you noise cancel you need to be holding the detector coil up in the air prefer abbly towards any known source of IM IIE cell phone tower power lines transformer boxes this is to cancel Do you like tronic interference with the machine
Hey Merryl noticed your using an RTG scoop they're my fav only bad thing about them is you get the black hand but if you put duct tape around the shaft will keep that from happening :)
THAT IS BRILLIANT!!!! IM ON IT @MichaelSwan66!
When pin pinging don't press,button,gust woggle coil back until target disappears, gut in front of coil.
oh yea and every once in a while you got to hammer the end of the scoop back into shape :)
Hi, amazing finds and great video. Do you just use standard beach 1 program or beach 2, cheers
Hi i am planing to buy either a anfibio or a nox i want a strong and reliable detector.I dont hunt in salt water or at the beach ,i hunt mostly relics and ancient roman coins and artifacts.The price is 850 euro for anfibio and 950 for the nox .What would you recommend .
The truth is that you can’t go wrong with either one. My preference is the NOX. I own both. If you like the idea of total control of one frequency at a time go NOKTA....(like a stick shift) If you want to hunt multiple frequencies go with the NOX
@@MetalDetectingNYC Thank you for the fast answer.Wich one do you see the better build and that can stand the test of time a little better .I have read that the nox is a little bad constructed
I dont think so at all. Im definitely preferring the NOX right now. In fairness, I havent tried it in parks yet because it has been such a great beach season. I have tried the Nokta and it alerts you to every piece of trash that there is, which is a problem in New York. The Equinox is the better detector and its not close in my book.
Merrill, was the firmware up-to-date when you received your 600, or did you have to update it?
My first observation was that the wired headphones that came with the 600 are not good.
If you think pinpointing is hard with the 11" coil, try the 12x15!
One of the first things I did after getting some wireless headphones, was to purchase a spare Minelab Equinox magnetic charging cable.
This way you can charge in the car or use one of those portable USB chargers.
Sometimes you have to turn up Iron Bias to 1 on the 600 to thwart iron (it is an advanced setting under recovery speed).
As far as wireless headphones go, just buy the Soundpeats Q12 Plus earbuds off Amazon for $25. If you lose them no big deal, and they work great with the 600.
That way you can leave that cap screwed on tight that covers the audio port. If you don't submerge the controller or put your head underwater, you will not lose the bluetooth signal.
Nick! First let me apologize for not responding to that info packed email that you sent and that I greatly appreciate! I am transitioning to a new job and going through the learning curve there. I am still learning from all of those links. You are full of amazing tips! Please keep them coming. They are very helpful! Im googling the Soundpeats Q12 Plus earbuds now.
The headphone jack is waterproof. If it gets wet you will just need to dry it out to receive accurate readings with headphones.
Did you say "Tardje"?lol
I also have a trick for identifying bottle caps So hopefully you won't have to dig those anymore let me know
I have to challenge your asseccment ? in one area.. The Whites Beach hunter is as good as the Equinox in finding small objects!! No doubt its atleast as good in my humble opinion of course..
LOL. SOCKS!!!!
thats funny
Gee.. we wanted to know what the rings rang up as for VDI ...to help with the learning curve :-) Please mention VDI #'s :-) nice vid and HH !
Have you noticed when you close the earring it will be detected. Open it and most detectors will miss it.
FYI my gold ring was a 16...
I guess you found out how wrong you were about the pin-pointer. It’s dead on.
just get the 800, make life easier!
One other minor point.. On land the Equinox is not as deep as the Nokta Anfibio.. No way,,, But on the beach the Equinx and the Vanquish are far better than the single freq Nokta machines..
First week? More like half week. LOL, you started Saturday.
Thanks for calling me smart LOL
LIKE 19 and Coment
pro tip: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Henrik Arlo Yea, I have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)
Pinpointing is based on detecting a coin sized object.
You never say what frequency you are using.

Sounds Italian
Wow, was just distracted by the amount of rubbish on the beach...people just don't care anymore. 😕
29:10 the earring is closed! That's why equinox sees it. What a cheater
That guy knows nothing about gold. Gold ranges from 1 all the way to 30+. Don’t listen to him.
