    Help choosing a shaft for scoop

    After using a metal shaft for my sand scoop and repeatedly having to straighten it out (light but not sturdy), I went to my local hardware store and bought a full length shovel handle. I have also added Raptor handles and kept D handle. Heavier for sure but sturdy as and will probably be last...

    Sling/Harness for Equinox 800?

    That is a great idea...I need to get a second J rod for my pro-swing for quicker both handed swinging. Definitely not the cheapest but it has helped heaps with my swinging longevity. This getting older just plain sucks sometimes.

    First opinion of Equinox 800

    Greg, get one of the books out there such as Andy Sabisch's and you should be able to work over some of the nuances of the Equinox. I personally go mostly by tones now especially a 3 tone mod for the beach. The Equinox is a fantastic tones machines that allows for heaps of flexibility in this...

    10X5 EMI Issues

    I found this to be the case too. I think the chipset in the coil sometimes needs a reboot/resync with the head unit. Don't have to do it often so not a big worry.

    Nokta/Macro Gold Finder 2000

    Me too...I want to get the wife a turn on and go gold machine and have been tossing up between the Gold Monster 1000 and Gold Finder 2000. Have watched a few videos of the Gold Finder and like the simplicity and power of the machine so I'll probably get one before we head to the fields next. The...

    Issue with wireless on EQ 800 (or should I say the lack of wireless is the issue)

    yup...icon just never comes up at all no matter the amount of time that I hold in button. I am starting to think that the wireless button might be broken but won't make that assessment until I try out the wireless module which should be around here somewhere. I think I could live with the...

    Issue with wireless on EQ 800 (or should I say the lack of wireless is the issue)

    Hi all... This issue with my EQ 800 has me stumped. I turned on my EQ 800 one day to try to pair a new pair of Bluetooth headphones. I press the wireless button but no icon shows up on the screen. Done a few factory resets and still whenever I press the wireless button, no icon ever comes up...

    Should I buy Coiltek 10" by 5" coil?

    Hear hear Marc...I think I spent many dollars over the price of the original machines on coils, rods, headphones, scoops, etc. just couldn't see myself putting wraps on my detectors tho. Expensive hobby, it is. :) btw the Coiltek 10x5 is a bit of a demon on the goldfields. I couldn't believe...

    Coiltek 10x5 DD coil

    I have one and used it on my Eq800 to go gold prospecting for the first time. First time out with the coil as well. It definitely was stable under the Gold programs (I used mostly Gold 2 with a few recommended tweaks). Found a few pieces of tiny gold that hit solidly at depth on TID 9-10. I want...

    Your Nox Beach Settings?

    I usually say wide-open when I am using high sensitivity with low discrimination or in all-metal mode. In other words, a machine that is just stable enough without being overwhelming and can make out good signals thru the falsing. Dig everything mode on everything that has a repeatable signal.

    Your Nox Beach Settings?

    I'd love to try out the Coiltek 15" at the beach to see how it handles compared to the Minelab 15". If I thought about it, I'd say I'd want to see greater stability at higher sensitivity, better pinpointing, less weight and better swing-ability before I'd get the 15" Coiltek. I used to swing a...

    Your Nox Beach Settings?

    I am not a hundred percent sure that recovery speed really makes much difference in depth on the beach. Really depends on how fast you are swinging the coil and if you can hear the good thru the chattiness. Sensitivity allows bit more depth to go a bit further but at the cost of more noise from...

    Okay so I realize I'm new to this brand of detector...

    I found that my mobile phone causes the most headaches with Equinox EMI interference. I turn it off and the detector goes quiet. I can also tell if someone with a mobile phone walks by esp if I have the detector wide open with high sensitivity. Also, I found that RF radios of the surf lifeguards...

    S rod for the equinox

    I was worried about this as well but I haven't felt any issues. Here is how it looks in use(pardon moi about my hairy arm :-))...

    S rod for the equinox

    IMHO I think that it swings better than the standard Equinox setup. The lower shaft is the original CZ-70 one (plastic). I just had to get some new rubber gaskets and drill it out a bit so that the Minelab coil bolt fits. Pretty solid build and doesn't have much of a lower coil sway...the lower...
