    Demo and Used Detector Listing / 04/11/2020

    Sent you a PM. Jeff

    Mineral Zones..?

    you being in Nevada makes it hard to know just like me in Colorado. There are areas here where the soil is fairly mild and half a mile away most of the detectors I've used will overload on a medium sensitivity setting........ Nevada has similar issues. The Equinox since it is simultaneous multi...

    Loving the Nox 800 and a few questions

    Sounds like you are experiencing EMI from your home and neighborhood WiFI systems. When you start out in say Park 1 default with multi frequency engaged with the sensitivity on default 20 and you hear lots of chatter with the coil in the air, you are hearing EMI. Do an auto noise cancel with...

    New 600

    Elmy as far as I know, the Equinox was not meant to replace the Etrac or the CTX 3030. Both of them are still scheduled for production next year. Hopefully they will get a well deserved software update or even better an ergonomic physical redesign too since they are fantastic detectors. The...

    New 600

    Feel free to keep asking your questions. Since the Nox is only 2 years old there are no experts and we are all still learning together. Even some of the people who are writing books are not trying to come off as experts. They are trying to help people new to the Equinox and of course are trying...

    Minelab equinox is it the cats meow

    Sorry. I forgot to answer the topic question. Absolutely not. So far, I haven’t used a detector that is purrrrrrfect. On a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being the number for purrrrrrrfection I’d give the Nox an 8.5. Jeff

    Nox 600 Q's or Alternaive

    Unlike the Safari, the Equinox is a really high transmit gain detector. The transmit gain cannot be adjusted manually. It was made to hit every target possible from millimeter sized and up depending on your settings and target depth. So, do you have lots of noise from EMI, from ground...

    Gold monster 1000

    The 24k really has been juiced up compared to its ancestor the GMT. When Whites says they were able to get 54% more transmit power into the coil by digitizing the GMT they are telling the truth. The 24K is the most sensitive VLF/LF gold prospecting specific detector I have ever used. Even the...

    Minelab equinox is it the cats meow

    I have owned an Etrac, X-Terra and now own the Equinox. In my mineralized dirt the Equinox recover speed and target separation is better than the Etrac and and much better than the X-Terra 705 By the way, Minelab will be releasing 5 more detectors in the next year or so according to their...

    Gold monster 1000

    wltdwiz gave you great advice. I totally agree with him. I had to make the same decision and decided I wanted more control over my detector when I was gold prospecting. I use gold 1 and gold 2 in the areas I prospect in. Sometimes the ground is so mineralized that I need to reject -9, -8 and -7...

    Nox 600 Q's or Alternaive

    Hi, If you have bad EMI you will have lots of chatter and jumpy numbers with the coil pointing away from the ground at sensitivity around 15 to 25. It is impossible to pick out a good target in that racket. Unfortunately there is also silent EMI that can be really nasty in the 5 to 20 kHz range...

    Whites TDI beach hunting

    Is it a TDI Pro, TDI Pulse Scan, or TDI SL? They are not the same and the ground balance feature works differently. Jeff

    Nox 600 Q's or Alternaive

    I have tested the 600 and 800 since I bought them almost 2 years ago. I am no expert but according to my logs I am getting close to 3000 hours. I have dug 14" US coins and relics even with a sensitivity setting of 20 in bad dirt. I don't think I have ever had either one of my Noxs above 22...

    Headphone questions for the Equinox

    Your Grey Ghost originals may not work without a specific adaptor since Minelab went to the 1/8" jack on all of their newer detectors and they wired them a bit differently. Detector Pro actually made a newer version of the Gray Ghosts that will work with the CTX and Equinox.....So. Although the...

    Whites TDI

    The Coiltek TDI coils made specifically for the TDI are available. Just do an online search. They work really well and are more sensitive when used on the TDIs than the normal Coiltek coils made for the Minelab SD, GP and GPX. Another really good coil is the Nugget Finder Sadie if you can find...

    Auto Track

    Hi Doug, I don't even use auto tracking ground balance when I'm gold prospecting unless I absolutely have to. It slows down the detector's reaction time while adjusting to new ground phase levels and knowing me, I would miss some small nuggets right on the boundary where two different phase...

    Why do I rarely see used G2+'s

    I have bought and sold so many detectors in the last few years........ The only one that I always miss when I sell one is a Gold Bug Pro, F19 or especially the G2+ straight shaft with the 10X5" coil. If they had more tone options in discrimination mode, numerical target ID in all metal mode and...

    I’m going BACKWARD with my 800! SOS!

    This may sound strange, but I would try Park 2 or Field 2. From my experience they are slightly better for deeper coin sized targets. Park 2 is what I use for multi tone gold prospecting when I want to double check a target I found in Gold 1 or Gold 2. I use Park 2 for coin and jewelry a lot...

    How Do I Detect Tin Can Alley..?

    So, sounds like we are all on the same page here. Fastdraw is in Nevada near Carson City so he will have a little mineralization to deal with. Also, he has a Nox 600 so just keep recovery on 3 (which is 6 on the 800). Jeff

    How Do I Detect Tin Can Alley..?

    Hi, Park 1 and Park 2 according to the manual are for more modern aluminum trash. Field 1 and 2 are for hunting areas with more iron trash and also coke and burned coal cinders which is why +1 and +2 are rejected by default. Field 1 is set up for all types of older coins (not clad alloys) that...
