5 kHz - Great for large silver coins.
10 kHz - Good for smaller coins.
15 kHz - A good general treasure detecting mode.
20 kHz - Ideal for general treasure detecting and gold prospecting.
40 kHz - Optimum sensitivity to very small gold nuggets.
Great Video, I thought it would help to add what each Frequency is good for. Love the solo digs! Awesome job!
Pinning this Comment! Great info and awesome as always Jim. Thanks for all the support.
My Vanquish 340 uses those.
Just came back from testing this method at my local park and I can assure you that this is truly a game changer for coin shooters like me. I did really well identifying the trash and good targets. Later I will test this against gold and pull tabs. Thank you Irene!
Thanks for the confirmation CanSlaw Caddy!
Thank you for testing these theories for us. I’ll be using this method for sure!
i just tryed this on my last hunt works like a dream thanks so Mutch
Awesome Andrew! We still suggest digging it all as you can clear up other deeper targets but if you are short on time or your back is stiff from digging all day this trick works great!
Just seeing this, going to try this out over the weekend, thanks for the info.
Awesome Gene! This trick works great if you are short on time or at the end of a hunt and just plain low on energy. We have yet to get surprised using it when we are looking for that last target of the day. Good Luck
I just love your videos. I don't use a metal detector, I just find stuff all the time anyways. I don't drive any more so even if I had a metal detector the only place I could use it at is a couple of tot lot parks nearby. I live right downtown so not a lot of green spaces. But you two are such fun to watch just for the heck of it.
Thank you so much for the comment Margaret! I always say your eyes are some times the best way to find treasure! Thanks again for the awesome comment.
Thanks Irene for the great useful tips. I will have to play with this on my Nox800. 🤜💥🤛🏴☠️
Glad it was helpful! Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
Wow! Irene you rock! Keep up this program as I am learning from you even thou I only have the 600. Hope you do more of these. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Willo! Will do! Happy hunting!
I have the 600 also
Loved your video and loved how you explain things. Thanks so much for the time taken to show and explain.
No problem Jade MB! Irene and I are learning as we go. We try to give you and everybody else all the great info we learn! Thanks for the comment
Just found your channel. Im 9 years detecting and 3 years with the nox 800. This video was and is so very helpful. What a great program. I'm definitely using this method,,,Thank You,,,
Nice Don! We had to clench our teeth and try this tip for ourselves. It goes against everything we learned beach hunting but boy does it pay off with practice when you can quickly switch to your favorite single khz's your park hunt gets flying.
Great video..!! I've been doing this exact thing just for the heck of it for the last few months with success..now I realize...it was working!! it wasn't just me ..I thought so.. !! Thanks for confirming what I was thinking..!!! You have a good channel I'll spread the news!!
Thank you ddave! Glad you found it helpful. I also find it less chatty when hunting in single frequency vs mulit. Happy Hunting!
Way to pass on the knowledge Irene! Always worth the watch! So glad this info is put out. Hopefully it doesn’t keep people from digging all tones cause that’s all the fun. Like a box of chocolates you never know what you get!
Yes you are so right when it comes to having fun and digging all tones. We really don't know what's in the ground until its out. I find this tip useful when I'm short on time and want/need to cherry pick. Happy Hunting.
Super cool info! I'm new to detecting and found my very first coins after watching this video :)
That is awesome Steve! If you are ever in a rut or need a quick answer, drop a new comment in any one of our videos. We have a lot of really good detectorists in here and we all are here to help you out. Happy Hunting, hope you are on the gold soon!
I have the tesoro Lobo a single frequency detector and i am searching only at the beach..you can't imagine how many coins i am collecting behind these multifrequency machines..👍👍🇬🇷
That is always the biggest treasure tip Giannis! Even if there are other treasure hunters they will not get it all. Happy Hunting
This video has been amazing,thank you ,you are the first ive seen like this
Glad we could help Stephen! We learned by saying to ourselves 'Dig It All.' We had to swallow a hard pill on this tip but it works! This gets a lot of use when the ground is hard, our backs hurt, and time is short. Hopefully another detectorist can save their back for a good target! Thanks for the comment.
Great tips! I honestly have never hunted in anything except multi before. I will be using this method on suspect targets for now on. Thanks
Thank you! I did the same thing and hunted in multi before I found out about this tip/trick. Now I only hunt in single frequency (10 or 15) and cross reference in multi frequency. I also noticed when hunting in a single frequency it is much quitter on the chattiness. Happy Hunting!
Great info! Loved the skull. Got a bracelet full of them last year. Heading east tomorrow in preparation of spring break on the gulf beaches.
Thank you!
Nice and Good luck out there!!
Good video! I'm hoping that this catches on with the mainstream detectorists.
That way I'll be finding more treasure as I dig them all!
Seriously, we all discriminate to some degree, both intentionally and unconsciously. I think the best we can do is move as much of this to our attention and experiment to see what works best in a particular location .
I enjoy your channel! Thanks
Haha! You and us both. Always dig it all!
Thank you thank you........I will definitely try this tip!!! I live in area trashed by hurricanes and the ground is filled with debris. I dig a TON of good sounding trash using multi-freq and hopefully your tip will reduce the amount.
It is always best to Dig the good sounding targets. The Debris can hide good targets. This tip should help you out a ton!
Found it the other way around factory setting field 2 which is the deepest setting on the nox 800, multi on, then if you hit a target switch to 10 hrtz with full metal it will give you plus sign if it's a good target a minus if its rubbish.
Great information Anthony! We will for sure have to test this too. Happy Hunting and thanks for the tip!
Thx so much gunna give it a go, appreciate u guys I am learning heaps
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Super great Tips Thank You!!!♥️
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this, looks very helpful. I will try this when I go out detecting with the Nox.
Let us know how this works for you!
Dang that’s awesome! Thanks for the tip, you rock 👍🏻
Anytime Mark! Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment. 😃
Excellent advice, I’m subscribing!
Awesome, thank you Julie! This trick works great when you are limited on time and just want your last target to be a 'good one.' Happy Hunting
Great video Thanks for the information didn’t know this definitely will have to try that out seems like it’s works
Ya have fun with it! I've cut the amount of trash targets by half by using this method! We still got to dig those iffy signals and listen to your gut because we just never know what's in the ground!
Thanks Irene I'll try that out 😊
Absolutely! Thank you for the comment Fred! Happy Hunting!
Great info. I actually use a single freq Nokta Makro Simplex but use a similar process. When I get bouncy numbers I switch to all metal mode to confirm it's trash. Usually works pretty well.
Yes!!! I also find it less chatty in single freq vs multi. I don't know if that's the same with the Nokta Makro but that's been my experience with the Noxs.
Thanks for the awesome tips. I'll refer to this video when I get my Nox. LOVE that skull. That's badass 💀
Thank you! Please inform us when you make that purchase and share your experiences. It won't disappoint!😃
@@TogetherForTreasure will do. I'm so excited to get it 😁
Really good! I’m looking forward to trying this myself! Still pretty frozen up here! Thank you! ❤️👍😎
Thank you Donna! I also find it less chatty when I hunt in a single frequency and then cross reference my target in multi. It really is a game changer when you're short on time and want to cherry pick for good targets. Happy Hunting!😃
Great tip. Can't wait to try it. Thanks.
Thanks soldanovht noneofya! Good luck and Happy hunting! 👍
Well, I going to show you a tip I use and snail a lot of gold rings, that's the only thing I dig. I use a Nox 800 and gold the best conductor. So, you don't need a lot of power to find a gold ring. I dig 9-18 only , don't dig coin signals. Now the kicker set your sensittity
That is so true! I have always tuned down at firepits because everything is s "good" signal. Running with that normally would cause the gold to stand out!
Great teaching, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for the comment!
Wow some really great information. Thanks for the video
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! Happy Hunting!
Good stuff, gonna try with my Equinox! 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you Rob! Good luck and happy hunting!
Great suggestions, I’ll give it a try with my 800. 👍👍
Please let Irene and I know if it hold true for you! We are trying to see what different soils do to this 'Tip.' Thank you in advance and thanks for the comment!
By the time it takes to change frequency and swing back over, I could of dug the plug and found out what it was.
That is 100% true Hunter Hawk! By no means is this the quickest or best way to hunt! We just noticed the more consistent the numbers were it was a lor less likely the target would be undesirable. We still Dig it all!
I enjoyed the video nicely done, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Thanks for love and support Fred! 🙏
I want to know if you could do a editorial video on how to get the Equinox 600 or 800 setting started when you getting ready to detect the beach Or Park I have a Equinox 600 I'm confused how to get it going I was just wondering if you could do a video on how to get started
We sure can!
Great information to tryout.
It should be a fun trick to play with for sure! Hope it gets you on the gold!
Interesting technique. Quick note. I was out and found a bottle cap. After digging it I ran my detector over and got another hit. 3 inches deeper I found a gold nugget.
Good job Irene
Thank you! Sharing is caring!
Great tips and worth things to to work
Thank Beer30! Hope it helps.
Very interesting, I will have to try this out. Subsribed.
Awesome skull find, good coverage of the KHz
Thanks Uncle Beep! We were shocked this worked as well as it did. As firm believers of "Dig it All," we had to really swallow a big pill with this tip. The truth of the matter is, we now use this technique when we are burned out or don't have a ton of time or daylight to get just a bit more insight and save our backs haha.
Great video content!
Thanks for the comment Byron. Hope you are out swinging and getting the gold.
I have the same one and numbers through 1 to 10 is gold and silver 30 is quarters and dimes
Thanks for the comment John d! Irene and I have been testing our Nox 800's in various soils and found out a ton about how targets are reported on the VDI and Audio. In short, the VDI can 'LIE' about the target # under the coil due to Soil Mineralization like Iron, Target Size, Target Orientation in the Ground, and a few other things like Depth. The best and safest method we have found is to listen for a repeating signal and then test if it can repeat without jumping all over. We have silver earrings and gold rings giving wildly inaccurate VDI readings due to Iron in the soil and depth. Happy hunting!
Very interesting, will try next time I go looking for Australian silvers. I was hoping that you would try all metal just see what it said. Oh and Hi from South Australia
Hi Steven! The All metal mode seems to take the frequency with the "Best Report" and just runs with it. We didn't have enough data to make a reasonable theory as the Multi Freq was all over. However when switching to any single Freq a dramatic change could easily be heard. We should get out and see if we can whittle down some points on the Multi Freq. Hope you get those silvers! Thank you and hello from California.
I've been using this all the time now, but I've found pull tabs that ring up at 14 vdi in multi (park 2) seems to show up a consistant 14 all throughout the different frequencies. Overall this is a great way to check
Those blasted pull tabs are at it again! We will also put this to the test again we had a fairly "new" park for this test...10yrs old, fresh fill dirt etc... we need to triple check this in a 'well seasoned' park soon. Glad this is working for you Ken, Happy Hunting.
When Vermont unfreezes, I’ll try these tips
Until then Stay warm and happy hunting!
Great video! Have you done this test at the beach? I’m curious to see if it works in the dry and wet sand and also in the water.
Thank you Steven!
Great question!
I have not practiced this method at the beach and here's why. For starters, Its easy digging in the sand. Targets on the beach are usually "few and far between" and honestly I dig everything when I'm beach hunting. I also feel like it would take me longer to go through the settings/modes to switch frequencies, when I can just take a scoop or two and listen to the tones to decide if its worth digging. Keep in mind when hunting in Beach mood 1 or 2 the control panel will not allow you to toggle into any of the single frequency meaning you would have to switch out of beach mode (1 or 2) and into either park, field or gold mode in order to practice this method.
great video!
Thanks! That skull was such a random find!
I’d like to see this with small gold I suspect it will still jump around on low kHz but be more solid I high kHz
Andrew is going to scour through our footage and see if we have me detecting gold using this. If not, he will be sure to test it soon. As always for others reading this we recommend 'Digging it All' as Soil Mineralization, Multiple Targets, and even EMI Noise can cause undesirable VDI readings. This trick is to save your time on a quick hunt or your back after a long one! Great insight! Underground Calling Happy hunting, hope your on the gold.
Thank you!
Absolutely! Happy Hunting! Thank you for the comment!
friend from philippines full support your channel, done subscribed ♥️
When I go to the park or field, I always get it on 4 khz to only get the highly conductive metal. I know may I lose something, but I only have a plan to get silver.
4 khz is a blessing on the Nox! It really does do a great job combating the iron in our soils and the bottlecap menace. Missing a few things is the name of the game. A great tip we offer to other detectorists is change the direction of your hunt! If everyone starts at the entrance of the park and walks to the back, try starting at the back and walking to the front! The direction of travel has opened up targets for us even on hunted out pieces of land.
Nice Job. I will find this usefull.
That tip has 100% changed fire pits for us. What was frustrating is now a fun challenge. Hope it lands you more treasure Steve!
Great vid! Thanks. Subscribed!
Thanks Russell! Hope this helps you get on the gold!
I’m planning a search in the bay that has quite firm substrate and in the past using my excaliber two, I was digging aluminum beer cans that were 2 feet deep and taking tremendous energy and time to retrieve. Now I have the Equinox 800 and I’m learning all that I can before I get back out. Yesterday I did some quick park searching and certainly my 11 inch coil goes nice and deep and let me tell you some of that trash was deep. I’m certainly going to test out toggling through frequencies after getting signals and I’ll let you know how it goes!
From what we discovered, If you pick the coil up 6'' to 8'' off the ground and can still hear the target it is 100% a can or HUGE!
Awesome job 😎🤘
Thanks Fabian! This park is super new, I'm happy I found all this cool stuff!
@@TogetherForTreasure well keep on hunting God bless.
My question is a little bit off your subject here but I have to ask. When you guys dig a plug if you ever go back a day or two later and found the plug has turned brown? I thought I was digging my plugs correctly to keep things looking good after I was done but I’ve seen some turned brown on me and I’m not sure if the grass comes back.
Hey Joe! That is a great insight. We had noticed this in some of our parks and not others. Asking around with the groundskeepers and park maintenance folks who are specialists in keeping these pieces of land green, It has to do with the grass being, "shocked and or stressed" (their words) and converting more energy to Root and Repair than to grow the blades of grass. They explained the grasses we use for lawns and parks grow from the root and not the shoot so it may be an adopted defense from grazing animals that pull roots (like Goats) vs. animals that trim or bite like horses. So when the roots get moved the grass would convert more energy to rooting leaving the tops brown and less desirable looking to continued grazing. We started combating this as Detectorists buy cutting more of a flap ( Like a half circle) and leaving more topsoil with the roots. 100% of the park maintenance guys agreed they are combating dead grass buildup and wet areas by "aerating" or poking holes into the turf so not to worry unless we are chopping up sections or digging craters for others to break an ankle in. Hope that bit helps!
Thanks
No Problem GigEm!

Thanks King Pinoy! Happy Hunting.
I was hoping to see how it works on pulltabs. And what about gold rings which are often low tones?
Hey Petbytes! We have to do a field test on those items but with what passed under the coil that day the theory held true!
Are your different setting spots labeled in a non-English language. Mine are and was wondering where I could find English labeled screen protectors
Hi Joe I am going to look that up for you. I'll let you know what the best option is
So going away from multi is the way? Or you toogle between them?
One man's trash is another man's treasure !
That is so true pocketjokers1! It is always a blast to find trinkets and oddities in between the mountains of rubbish and fistfuls of coins. Great comment
turn off your bluetooth ,the icon is flashing and your unit is trying to connect to a wireless headphone and using up battery power.
Will do Texmex, I had to watch the video so I could scold Irene. Turns out she was turning off her headphones not the head unit so the viewers could hear the machine. Thanks for the tip! The BT feature does drain the battery if you are not using BT headphones.
Have you tried with pull tabs? Those come in at 13 or so.
Great question! We had a handful of clips that didn't make the video and the theory held true. The different frequencies would report wide variations on all the undesirable items. The caveat is you really have to be sure it is one target and not a pair close together. Most of the time we would dig it all. This trick is great if you are short on time or the digging is rough and tough.
@@TogetherForTreasure I went out today to try it on the Nox800. I got some good targets at 13. I tried the different frequencies they all seem to be consistent to 14 or 13. The other non coin targets seems to work pretty well. I usually average $10 to $15 per hunt. Its all about clad in my book. hehe.
Can I do this for beach settings ?
Hey Helicapt! Beach 1 and 2 on the Equinox lock our frequencies to the 'Multi' setting. You can use Field 2 on the beach and do this. I've had great success using Field 2 for horribly trash filled areas in the dry sand.
@@TogetherForTreasure
Awesome. Thanks !
thumbs up all come on this works
Thanks Andrew! We found this really makes a difference when we are short on time our just over worked from dirt digging for the day. We have rocky and clay soil locally and since the drought its concrete. Hope you are on the gold.
Gold and silver on the same one1 through 10
Thanks for the comment John d! On one of our older beaches we had found the iron in the sand skews the VDI #'s but will still produce good target tones. Trust the Sound First and the VDI Second. We had a few gold rings show up as negative Iron numbers because they were very deep for the Nox 800. It all depends on your soil but we had a gold ring come up as 10cent dime numbers 23-25 too. Wild I know, but the machine gave a great SOLID report but the VDI number was 'Off' from what we'd expect. Always learning something new about our machines and we still dig it all for fun.
You're supposed to noise cancel when you change frequencies according to the manual
This is true! We also have noticed the single frequencies tend to be 'Quieter' and we eventually got lazy with the 'noise canceling step.' For best performance and if you're still getting a ton of 'chatter', You are 100% correct LaGambina! Thank you for helping us and all of the detectorists on our channel. Great Tip!
to #3 yes you will get a 4" on a gold ring and you will dig less trash
Great tip Mike! Thank you for helping us
Hope you learned to use the user button by this time!
Of course! Thanks for the comment
Takes a woman to let us in on the hidden secrets of detecting. Thanks!
Thanks Tom! Hope this tips help you out. I still recommend digging it all but this tip really helps me when I'm limited on time and I just want my last target to be a keeper.
A woman video? SKIP!!!!!!!
Haha Will! Irene is what we detectorists like to call a 'Natural'. She has the drive and the talent to be one of the best out there!
This 'toggle' method seems to respond best in ALL METAL- which your Park 2 appears to be set to.
For sure guitawrizt! We have to use All Metal with this as notching out Iron would give us less info about the target.
