Thanks Matt, you`ve just ended my Equinox headache. I love the simplicity of this setting. Very well explained. I just set it up indoors....Can`t wait to try it now. And for the first time I understand the menu/buttons
Hi Matt, I’ve just bought this machine, I worried about unboxing this but your video has filled me with confidence. Top man. It’s always best to keep it simple. 👍👍
Great tutorial,i just been out with my Nox 800 for the first time.Watched your video on my phone while out on a club rally,very easy to follow thank you .
Just to prove to any doubters out there your programme does work . In the last couple of months I have found several silvers including a Charles 1st hammered sixpence and it goes deep wouldn't change it now. Once again much appreciated and thanks. Bryan Boswell.
Great simple instructive video Matt. Just bought mine and had a horrendous first dig with it, falsing all over the place. Nightmare! I will use your settings next time out and let you know how I get on. Mini detectival this weekend! 😊 Cheers.
thank god i found you on here some one who explains it easy for even me to understand well done keep up the great work and thankyou looking foward to trying this out
Oh my God tell me about it. I'm basically just going to use those settings on each mode because it seems fine. Every other person likes to get in depth and confuse the user who has no idea about the machine (hence them trying to find a guide). People even go off and do tests half way through for examples and then you forget where u were on your machine and it can turn south quickly. Best to do it how this guy has, just simple and basic and fairly quick but in the way that it needs to be you don't need to drag on things that don't matter when it comes to this stuff.
I just bought one and hope to go and snag some jewellery from the beaches.. nox 900 came out a week later but they are basically the same machine and have same capabilities
thanks for this video. just got the NOX800 and will need all the help and tips I can find. tried the 4x4 program but only once and it seems the ground I was on was an old horse coach builders yard so a lot of iron tones wherever I walked.
Hi Matt mate, I went for the 600... fewer things to mess about with....LOL, but I am like you, keep it simple, better to spend more time detecting on a field than messing about with settings... Take care mate Tom
Thanks for sharing this video, my nox is doing my head in,lol, yep, too much messing around with programs, keep it simple, I will go back to basic settings, thanks for showing this video mate,cheers
Hello mate,first time out with the equinox today and followed your advice. Machine worked so smoothly and performance was amazing! Owned ctx' s,deus etc etc and I think this may be the best machine ive ever used. Thanks for taking the time to post this vid mate👍
Very good points. Not to far from my settings. I hunt in field I too mostly. I switch to all metal when I get a good iffy squeek, but I mostly hunt parks.
Interesting video , Bread and butter programme . I like to GB?? F1,5T ,IB3, R4 .Always AM at a low volume so you can here the iron in with your threshold . I find the noxie quiet easy machine to set up . Popped a cut at over 8 inch sens was only 16 as a noisey field. They love small items. Enjoying the 15 first run out with it popped a denarius on a worked out site .Impressive as my son had a lovely brooch out a few weeks previous within 20 yards of my find . And had hammered that area couldn't believe it when I popped it lol .
I have used Mat settings and they do work I had cut quarters cut halfs Gold Quarter Stater and artefacts these settings do work I put these settings in other nox users and they have had good results from day one
a very good understanding video, im actuall receiving my nox 800 today, ive only been detecting 2 months and have been using the simplex and its bang on for the money but just lacks abit, ill be trying your settings and getting to know the machine before i even try and tinker with it, cheers
Hi Ste, just spotted you commented on this video, hope you're well mate. How are you doing with the Nox? I'm thinking about changing the Simplex and deciding whether to go for the 800 or possibly wait for the new Nokta SMF machine. Would be good to hear how you've got on with it, cheers mate, Marcus
This set up isn't going to work that well on beach.. Go to the gigmaster and let him show you how to set it up on beach... Give him a try he the king on the beach with the knox
Just to prove to any doubters out there your settings do work lve had several silvers including a Charles 1st hammered sixpence and it goes deep. I just use these settings now and wouldn't change them. Much appreciated Bryan Boswell. Thanks and happy hunting.
In town my sensitivity is 15-18 depending on which park I am in. In the gold fields it is 12-15. recovery speed usually 4-5, iron bias 3-5, settings all depend on where I am. forget the threshold, except in gold mode, I can't hear it unless it is above 6-7
Great settings my nox was picking up everything on pasture,10 was silver foil ,24 was drink cans had some 33 pipe,digged everything around 14 upwards and downwards your gonna get ring pulls,,but there was a constant hum,changed sensitivity but no good,am I doing everything right?
Hi have you had chance to download the new f2 setting. As I have used this programme successfully for several months once downloaded would you recommend any changes or would you leave it as it is. Thanks Bryan Boswell
I've just recently purchased the 15 inch coil for the equinox 800 been out about 6 times found nothing of note. Just wondered if the settings for the stock coil would need to be changed for the bigger coil. Have you any experience of this. Thanks Bryan
Hi Matt , thanks for your simple program can't wait to try that .Made a mistake of loading a program off RUclips didn't like the constant hum I was getting , he had the threshold at 8 , 1pt would that account for the hum if so how can I get rid of it . Think I'll stick with your program for a few mouths like you suggest , many thanks 👍
Do you run that in parks too or should I run it in field instead of Park mode?? Can you make a video on park for for us so I can get a better idea of the settings
I thought I’d tweak a setting and it led to a ton of frustrating and random disappearing targets. After I change my settings to this I’m never touching them again.
Hey Matt, I just got my Nox 800, and haven't been out yet as the ground is frozen here in Toronto, but I was wondering, do you use field 1 because you hunt mainly in fields? And, have you hunted any parks using Park 1 or 2?
Please can you tell me why does minelab VDI differ from other machines, I’ve come from a whites background and copper vdi’s 79-83 or there about however can be as low as 17 in a nox very confusing for me,any info would be much appreciated.
mainly because the nox is a multi frequency detector, you can get vdi numbers for different coins from the net or forums. My ATpro has the high numbers too but now I am used to both machines vdi's, tones is still your best friend tho, try not to rely on the vdi but just use it as a guide line.
Brilliant, much appreciated. I get my equinox this week so will try these settings. You posted this 2 years ago, do you still use these settings. Thanks
Hi Tony, still not fully understanding the settings as I'm getting loads of false tones. Sounds like I'm getting hits and when I dig there is nothing there and the sound has disappeared when I go back over it. I'm wondering if this was a mistake upgrading from my Garrett 300i
Hi Luigi and Matt That's the same with me today I was digging for hours and nothing there of if there was it was iron ... Gonna try Matt's settings on Sunday will let you know how I get on cheers guys , Garry
Hi Gary, I have sorted it out. If you get a signal and it's fairly erratic, it means that it's not round and jagged. Rather than a round object will give you a clear fix. Also I found out that if you hit a noise turn 90 degrees on the object and if you still get the same noise, it's worth digging. Sometimes when you dig the object out it can fall on its edge and you lose signal, hence why we keep losing signal when we try and dig it out. Hope this helps. The only way to learn is to keep going out and trying different ways. 👍
Wow so fucking easy simple and effective. So many people overcomplicate their guides or just talk trash and show examples in-between and it just confuses the shit out of you. I've watched two other people trying to understand beach and park settings and to use 1 or two and they just fly through and somehow make it very hard to understand. This was quick and easy and you even went through it twice just for the peace of mind👍
great video buddy, I to was and am still digging up loads of iron, still haven't mastered my noxy yet as it confuses me with a good tone and it ends up being iron? im like wtf..then I was tought that you switch on the iron and it will show you its iron..now im confused, if you have iron turnt off then why does it still pick it up? maybe my machine is faulty? I thought if you turn iron off you wont hear it it? not sure if this is right? many thanks, ive set up mine now with your advice..when im out next ill try it out..cheers
Large iron will still give a high tone, sometimes if you turn off the iron discrimination you can hear the iron grunt either side of the false target tone. Turning up the iron bias will eventually mute it but at the cost that you might miss targets that are good and being masked by close Proximity iron.
This SC was able to set the settings as posted .... how do you keep those settings when machine is turned off and then started up for the next hunt? I must have missed something. Thank you very much!
@@MetalDetectingGuysUK .... Thanks for the update. I hope you're right. I'll have to check this out a little closer. Also how/where I can set the user profile on the machine?
This is the detector I'm thinking about buying. But everyone else's video makes me afraid it's to complicated. I just want to find jewelry and coins. But all these numbers and settings.😢 😩
i personally think dont touch any settings at all, i still run factory settings after 6months, if you change something then you could lose stuff, the only recomendation i would suggest is if you go to one place numerous times, after you start noticing no targets, then change things, like increase sensitivity and threshold to get deeper items and smaller items, but places like the beach, new items get washed up weekly, and its all about being in the right place at the right time, settings change doesnt help at the beach the best tip ive learnt which many detectorists seem to fail at, ive compared myself with others using same detector, and found stuff they have missed, walk slow, really slow, theres no rush, swing coil low, as low to the ground as possible, to the point its touching the ground,the gap between the ground and coil, is lost depth you are missing, make sure you overlap your swings, and also go over the same ground, example, if you walking north to south, then redetect south to north, then east to west and then west to east, etc, the detector can miss items if its on a angle
Don't need to ground balance? Bad advice- you don't know what sort of ground everyone else has, and ground balance can not negatively affect your hunting. As to the sub menu items, people need to read the info about them and decide if they need adjusting based on conditions in the field.
I always have it on 0 and if there is a lot of mineralisation then ill do a ground balance but if its quiet the ground. No need to do any ground balance. 🙂
sto leggendo in "giro" che tanta gente compra x la prima volta, metal detector di fascia alta : equinox, deus, ( 3030) ecc,ecc. questa povera gente /avventurosa) si deve mettere in testa di partire con un garrett 150 /350. e simili di altre marche , in modo da imparare a farsi l'orecchio e di capire i primi passi da fare con quelle macchine. - in tanti passano subbito sulle ferrari ,Jaguar e porche, sensa aver mai portato una macchina. ciao sfigati, cambiate hobby, o ripartite dal basso.

Purchasing 1 of these Beauty's in the near future. Your video is 1 of the easiest to understand. Thanks for the tips.
Alright Just got my 800 today. Set it up the way you shown. looking forward to a great hunt. Thanks!
nice video, just what I was looking for, just got my 800 and this will save me a lot of time cheers
