New to the Equinox and a question.

Been trying the different modes and settings for a few days. What is field 1 good for? Seems weaker than the park modes and field 2. I have the 600.

Here is what the manual states if you can read it...

I found the same thing. Field-1 seems “weak” compared to Park-1. To me, park2 is useless and after extensive testing in the field with Park2, I won’t ever be using it.

I would just using Field-1 mode yesterday on my 600 model. It puts more emphasis on the 5KHz & 10KHz and not very much on the 15KHz. That mode also is defaulting with some iron bias. Sometimes on my 600, Park 2 and Field 2 can be a little noisy if you just run those two modes in their factory default settings.

I have to admit, you are doing well with Field 2 Mark.
For me, Park 1 is the ticket for me...
to each his own. Heck, some even prefer single frequency over multi!

Neil jones helped set up field one specifically for coke infested sites. I agree it is toned down a bit but on those sites it really quiets the machine down so you can focus on good targets. When you find a site where your machine is falsing {not EMI} out the wahzoo and won't settled give it a try. Read his blog on the minelab website for some more insight its called "have your coke and detect it to" if memory serves me correct. This is one of the modes where the Equinox really out shines the competition.

I use Park 1 exclusively on land, and Beach 2 at the beach/in the water.

Field 2 is my land go to setting and will likely handle the bulk of hunting at the upcoming Florida Hunt 7 event, but I will be trying other modes for target comparison. HH
