  • How To Ground Balance Your Minelab Equinox With Technique Challenge is showing the different ways to properly ground balance the Minelab Equinox 600, 700, 800 and 900. This is not only a beginners tutorial but also a challenge to a technique that I have heard others use and what my thoughts are on that.

    I totally agree with the way Your doing it... Set, then reset... Should give the best at depth ( & maybe add to depth).. as far as the auto, I agree, But to be fair will test in prospecting, beach, & park mode in mineralized ground... Making 2 passes over area ( one with it on & one off) & note if more targets found, their sounds, & depth to find out if there is a notable difference...

    Thanks for taking the time to produce this video, it cleared up a few things for me, it's nice to watch and learn from other 900 users. I bought my Nox 900 last year and was only able to use it a few times. This year however, I'm newly retired, so... I'm now able to catch up on watching videos and I expect to get out more often and really use it. I might even try it today, weather depending, it's supposed to be in the upper 50's this afternoon. I'm in Southeastern lower Michigan. Keep the videos coming. Happy Hunting!!

I do all settings for my equinox 800 ..I should get more accurate information about ground balance to get a great results
      ok..my note is
      when tracking rocks , I listen to beeps over the rocks ...are these false beeps ..or true beeps ,note that they were put their treasures in enclosed rocks

    As someone starting from scratch with an Equinox 700, your videos are really helpful as some of the other RUclips vids assume that you know what they are talking about.... and us newbies haven't got a clue.
    I have been getting a lot of fluctuating VDI's over a small area, with number ranging from 20's to 80's.....im guessing this is a combination of noise cancel, ground balance and sensitivity?

    • @SodBustersMetalDetecting
      @SodBustersMetalDetecting  Год назад +1

      It can be a lot of different targets in that area. Sometimes you will get multiple targets per swing. Concentrate on the tones and not the vdi.the vdi will not be as helpful as the tones.

    @smilinjim1 Год назад

    Hello Mr Sod Buster, I do have a comment about ground balancing, I found that when you use auto ground balancing and you spend too much time over a target, then it will balance the minerals with the target, as long as you don't spend too much time over a target then I believe it will be OK in the auto mode.

    Thank you for all your time and effort to put together your videos, its greatly appreciated. Your a great teacher. I was looking at a video by Derek of "the detecting channel" from FL. He did a video where he discriminated a range of numbers so he could better find targets in a area. There were some metal lawn chairs in a beach area and he ran his 800 around the chairs, made note of the numbers then made adjustments to the 800 so it would not pick up the chairs thus having a better chance of finding coins or jewelry around the chairs. How do you do this with the 700 which I have and I'm sure it's the same as the 900?

    @ohdannyboyjustadiggin Год назад +1

    Good Theory, Interesting topic. I heard many say once you change anything up on the Nox You should noise cancel again. so do you ground balance before noise cancel and then again after ground balance? I myself do not use ground balance at all and sometimes I do not even noise cancel. For the going on 11yrs. I just mostly turn on and swing. I either use park 1 or 2 or Beach 1 or 2. But this yr I might tweak out the setting more just cause I will be going over grounds I have pounded on. Thanks For sharing, Food For Thought.. Peace

    • @SodBustersMetalDetecting
      @SodBustersMetalDetecting  Год назад +1

      You would want to noise cancel first and then ground balance. I recommend noise canceling every so often to keep the detector optimized

    My issue is being a bench top person you can't experiment much inside because of interference and you can't shield you unit from it.

You said it can change within 10 feet which is true but I thought you were saying to run it that way and if you have to rebalance every ten feet that's what you do. What I was getting at is why would you run a machine where you had to ground balance that often. That would take all the fun out of metal detecting.
