    Need help with wireless headphones for my Nox 600

    Bluetooth version 4 to version 5 and ATPX low latency. Avantree for one makes the Audition Pro. They are very comfortable and not too expensive. The sound to my ears is much less muffled and bass heavy than the Minelab/Miccus ML80s

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    metal detecting 24 uses a camera that he can put in a hole to see what the target might be. Where he is detecting in Europe there are still lots of unexploded grenades, artillery shells and bombs dropped from aircraft. He is smart to use that small video camera so he won't disturb any live...

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    More on number 8.......Garrett Z-Lynk and Quest Wire Free are specially made for metal detectors. Trond ATPX Low Latency Bluetooth (you need ATPX low latency so there will be very little lag between the transmitter and receiver, otherwise if you pinpoint a target with your detector, it could be...

    Ground Balancing, playing nice in the sandbox , beeping rocks and 101 other questions ... (not really)

    Thanks for joining this forum. You asked some excellent questions 1. The F22 does not need to be ground balanced. It comes with a factory preset ground balance setting that will work well in most soil conditions. 2. Some types of soil can have lots of small iron particles from decomposing rock...

    Will the equinox wirelessmodule work on the Vanquish 540

    The Vanquish only has a built in Bluetooth transmitter that will work with some Bluetooth headphones and earbuds. The Equinox WM08 receiver only works with the Equinox built in “Wi-Stream” transmitter which is not a Bluetooth system. The Equinox does have exactly the same Bluetooth transmitter...

    Vanquish 540, Simple ,and Apex depth shootout! Who is King??

    I really like the Equinox, Vanquish and Simplex detectors. I look forward to trying out Nokta Makro's simultaneous multi frequency version of the Simplex as soon as it becomes available. I have only tried the Apex in the field for a short time on a group hunt. It was okay as an SMF detector but...

    NOKTA SIMPLEX Vs MINELAB VANQUISH

    Vanquish 540 vs Simplex+ is a tough one. Like someone said earlier, it all depends on what types of detecting you do. They are both fantastic budget detectors. If you need a budget friendly detector with threshold based all metal mode and want to submerge your entire detector, get good depth...

    Xp mi-6 question

    I have had no problems pairing my Mi-6 with any Deus or ORX remote. I have had nothing but trouble trying to keep my Mi-6 paired with my WS4 headphone remotes no matter where the WS4 is located.

    need info on witch bluetooth headphones for the equinox600

    The Aukeys come with 6 different earbud pads in three sizes. Half are made out of something similar to memory foam. I squeeze the pad into a small size and then it expands to fit my ear canal. They also have nice hooks that go behind the ears and are adjustable. Battery lasts between 4 and 6 hours.

    different programs with same setting

    You asked about overall depth between different Equinox 800 search modes. Like some have already said I have found that to be related to soil mineralization level and target type. If you have studied the manual the only modes that are virtually the same are Gold 1 and Gold 2. The other six modes...

    Non-Ferrous "ghost" target ID at pivot of sweep

    Your swing speed, swing path (is your coil staying close to the ground or is it moving upward at the end of each swing), ground balance setting and sensitivity level could all cause a higher tone ground response/ coil noise as the coil moves away from the ground. If I don’t ground balance in...

    Ground cancel

    Your post helped me remember that I had an XT 505 too. I think I was giving numbers for the 505 (15) which has 0 to 50. Obviously I can't keep my detectors straight and I don't remember what ground phase numbers were for the XT50.

    Ground cancel

    I don't know if this matters but the XT 50 had a ground balance range of 0 to 50 (I think) the XT 705 which is what I was referring to had a ground balance range of 0 to 90 and the Equinox has a ground balance range of -9 to +99. When I got my first Equinox I still had my XT 705 and a XT 50. My...

    Ground cancel

    So Minelab did say in the Equinox manual that leaving the ground balance on its default setting is good enough for most detecting. I agree with that. However, when I follow this recommendation I literally cannot use two important functions that I need to use. I have owned multiple Equinox and...

    Metal detector false positives

    I have tried a Fisher F44, Teknetics Minuteman, Teknetics Gamma and a Teknetics Omega 8000 in my backyard which has lots of electrical interference, lots of ground mineralization due to volcanic and iron rich dirt and lots of roofing nails from having several roofs in the 27 years I have lived...

    Ground cancel

    I pick a search mode, set sensitivity around 20, noise cancel, ground balance and go detect. It takes 30 seconds or less.

    X-Terra Officially Discontinued

    The X-Terra series and the Safari have been officially discontinued and are no longer part of Minelab's product line. The current product line for recreational metal detectors looks like this: I always enjoyed using my X-Terras but I am not sorry to see them go. The Equinox is a much better...

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    So, the Deus and the Equinox are fantastic detectors. Depending on your hunting style, what machines you are used to and the places you hunt, one may be better for you than the other. The really good thing is that they are better than what you have, they have great transferable warranties and...

    Nox v. Deus: Which should I buy?

    I own and regularly use both the Deus and the Equinox and I have owned the ORX. I really like the Deus and ORX and I really like the Equinox. They have their strengths and weaknesses and I try to use them to their strengths. They are very different detectors and I almost have to do a...

    Question about GOLD

    If you do a nickel air test it should read 24 unless you have a really weird nickel. In the ground depending on depth I have seen nickels jump around between 20 and 50 or so. There is usually a 24 in all of those jumpy numbers. Also, have you done the latest updates to either 2.77 or 2.78? The...
