jkline -- lowering your iron bias MAY give you MORE "high-tone squeaks" to investigate. I am sure you already know this, but what iron bias does is takes a "mixed" high-tone/low-tone target (either a coin co-located with a piece of iron, OR a nail that wants to report both iron tones and high tones), and "bias" the reporting of the detector in one direction or the other. Lowering the iron bias, means that with a mixed high-tone/low-tone target, MORE of the "high tone" will bleed through. Meanwhile, raising the iron bias does the opposite -- you will hear more low/iron tone than high tone on that particular "mixed" target. In my experience hunting with both platforms (FBS and Multi-IQ), I think you'd make the Equinox behave more similarly to FBS with higher iron bias, versus lower. Meanwhile, a lower iron bias setting will allow MORE of the high-tone falsing you get from nails, to report to your ears...but will also possibly help you pick out the hidden silver coins amongst the iron better than higher iron bias settings, when hunting in trashy spots...
Just my two cents.
