    thanks; this is helpful

    User profile

    Yeah, I had to figure that one out too. I thought just by going back to Park 1 it would be at default settings. But; the default behavior (programming) is for the Equinox to save whatever changes you make in a program. So I must remember to hold down on Detect Mode for several seconds while in...

    Spectrum XLT --- Engineers Report

    Spectrum XLT --- Engineers Report I am looking to find a copy of this book. It was instrumental in my understanding and use of the Spectrum XLT that I owned back when. The book gave great understanding of phase differentials and how the VDI chart works, and in layman's language to boot...

    Blank Sheet for Recording Custom Settings

    Thanks Tony --- that is what I am doing with an Excel Spreadsheet. Once I get it figured out, I will convert to PDF and share. Still tweaking things and relearning MS Excel since it has been over a dozen years since last use and/or classes in MS products. :(

    OK; maybe an older version of MS Excel with less capabilities might be up loadable. Here goes... NOPE!!!

    any feedback on the use of the makro/nokta scuba pinpointer

    I am a land lubber who occasionally gets to local river beaches and into the water's edge. The Nokta-Makro Pulse Dive without the Scuba Wand is what I use. Well built (like a tank) and never fails on land or water's edge. IMHO PS: I have since purchased the Minelab Pro-Find 35 to used with my...

    How Deep Do We Have To Really Go

    I too am back to detecting after a few years hiatus (broken back issues and heart attack --- all for fun, of course). So... I started with the Simplex and a 5" by 9" coil, but not enough separation in heavily trashed parks where I hunt in between old parking strips. So... ...bought an Equinox...

Now I can convert (scan and save as) to Word Document or Adobe Acrobat to save and carry with my Smart Phone. Problem is, I cannot...

    I'm Getting Discouraged..!

    YES! I too have those streaks where nothing good is to be found. But... I remind myself about the fresh air, the exercise, the learning more about my machine and the research of where to go. Most of all, though, I got to enjoy walking through older neighborhoods and admiring classic architecture...

    Clean Finds ?

    100% agree. I carry pill bottles and/or other similar container with slightly dampened sponges to place a ring in, then a sponge in between it and the next ring etc. I do the same with coins. If I find something I am certain has real value, I have learned to leave the dirt in place and wrap in...

    I'M DONE!!!!

    I remember a day like that many years ago while using an XLT with some cheap headphones. At some point I realized only one side of headphones was steady with signal and even then... Some home soldering and back to same baseball park --- several dollars in change and a nice silver ring. The next...

    Can't they put a clock on the Equinox 600 & 800

    Time Has Come Today... Ok, so I tried to to insert the YouTube of Time Has Come Today by the Chambers Brothers :)

    I Have Questions - What Is Your Detecting Music Edition

    Agreed, but I still like to sing the songs in my head, that is, not out loud. This is of course when no signals for some time. One of the heavily littered and full of change and rings city parks I detect does not allow for much daydreaming. :)

    My Pin Pointer is Haunted....

    So, I am not an electronics engineer, but have had some basic electronics training many, many years ago. What if there is a 'capacitor' of some type on the circuit card and/or in modern terms, designed into the die for the processor. From what I remember, one of the functions of a capacitor is...
