Hi everyone,
So, I am trying to make a tough decision between a few detectors. So, I went metal detecting on Sunday and my Garrett at max, which has been a wonderful machine to me, decided to do some wonky things and I called Garrett the next day. I'm going to send in my metal detector and...
I purchased a Nox 800 from amazon and out of the box the power button was defective. I called minelab USA and talked to Steve who was very helpful and I am sending my nox back to minelab tomorrow and receiving a brand new one. so from all the posts ive read about minelab customer service being...
Hello all! so I purchased a Nox 800 off of amazon 2 weeks ago (finally moving up from my Ace 250) and as soon as I assembled it and went to hit the power button....a whole lot of nothing happened. so I tried it again and again, after about 20 presses of the button in different spots it finally...
fired it up and ran it over my test garden.
nice clear sounds with my wireless Trond headphones. A lot less chatter than my 800. So simple to use. Will be almost no learning curve for newbies. It is zero learning curve for prior minelab users.
Very stable TID's compared to the 800. Was using...
Review of Clive Cylick third Equinox book – “Skill-Building with the Minelab Equinox Series Metal Detectors.
I think this is the best book in his Equinox series. It is written for a large group of new Equinox users. It is not written for very experience users of other Minelab products or the...
I thought I might share my experience with the Equinox 800. A little about me. I started metal detecting with the Fisher original gold bug in 1987 hunting gold nuggets in North Georgia. I read the manual once and started using it. The gold bug was a good gold hunting machine.
Several years...
This is my second post in the last 24 hours. Old buyer fell through so it’s back on the market (I couldn’t mark the old post unsold).
I have a like new Equinox 600 for sale. Lightly used in the last year about 3 times. Only thing “wrong” with it is the charger plastic chipped when trying to...
First post so I'll try to make it brief:
I own a Garrett At Max and search on beach and in beach water.
I live in RI with highly mineralized beaches
The At Max gives a lot of feedback so I am constantly resetting, ground balancing, etc to reduce sound and have not found any "great finds"
I've...
Howdy! :) This is probably a long shot but thought to at least give it a try. I've designed a metal detector that significantly outperforms anything on the market, and initially I had intended to merely use it for myself for a year or two and then sell the designs, but I would consider selling...
need a control box for a xt17000 or 18000 as my xt17000 has died after reverse polarity issue modifying for new battery connection ,shipping is to new zealand will pay all costs agreed to .
I am a video producer by day and a treasure Hunter by night, so I figure I'd combine the two passions and edit my finds as a video instead of boring pictures. Here's my last trip out. Hope y'all enjoy.
Got off work had a couple hours of day light on Thursday. decided go look for my Great Dane duke’s collar he lost on our last hunt. brought my equinox 800 with me for the hell of it. within feet of turning it on first hit bronze spike by a tree stump. freaked out for a min haha then looked...
My last detector was an AT Pro for three years and various detectors back to 1988.
When I sold my AT Pro and bought my Nox 800 in March 2018 I was quite surprised at what I didn't about detectors in general. The 800 took a long while of study of forum comments, Clive's two books and many hours...
Hello again TreasureNet!
I don’t know which detector to get and these are my final choices
I hunt for coins and jewelry 90 percent of the time.
I hunt in the parks, woods, farm fields, and some beaches
Overall which detector is better?
And please don’t say Equinox, I can’t afford it
I can get...
here is my limited understanding of coils.
Concentric coil search pattern is cone shaped with the point being at the deepest.
They are good for pinpointing deep targets.
But it seems that if you have a coin at the point of the cone and trash in the wider upper coin you have a problem with...
I have been using an At Pro for the past 3 years but I'm thinking of moving up to a minelab. I'm looking for better discrimination and technology to try and rediscover some of my older spots.
When I hunt with my friends who both have etracs I feel like they are getting the deeper targets more...
Hey everyone,
Doctor Rings and Things here with another video, this time showing how I like to metal detect on the beaches. I hope you enjoy and subscribe for more!
If you have any tips for me, please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you have to say. And if you're...
Hello all! So First off, I purchased a Minelab E-TRAC... it came with the Sunray Probe, Sunray sniper coil, and a Coiltek 15" All Terrain Search Coil.
My question, which one is the better coil? The minelab stock coil that came on the etrac, or the Coiltek?
Thanks,
Chris
