    Broken arm cuff

    One side of the upper plastic "U" on the arm cuff cracked in half, anyone had or know of a similar issue? It happened during regular use never dropped or stepped on or anything like that. I sent an email with photo to Minelab but no response yet.

    Trip to Baja

    Took my family on a vacation to Cabo San Lucas MX, I decided to not take my Nox along but my son did. Before the trip I had some concerns about traveling to MX with the detector. I contacted Southwest Airlines and they advised that as long as the detector fit into a carry-on sized bag we could...

    Is the update really better?

    I have only had the opportunity for one beach hunt since updating my 600 but after reading some posts I was expecting some improved results. Based on my, albeit limited, experience I have to say I am on the fence as to whether there is any improvement for the kind of hunting I do. 90% of my use...

    Charge pin connection corrosion and cleaning

    Has anyone else been experiencing issues getting a good connection with the charger? I use my detector exclusively in a saltwater environment so I am very careful to clean it with fresh water after every use as well as a saltwater cleaning product called salt-away. However I have found the 4...

    Competing with The Rockland Beach King

    Found some time for a little beach detecting with the Nox, so I drove down the coast to try a new spot. I spent a few hours in the dry sand and was surprised how few targets I was getting. After a couple hours only had about $2 in clad, but what was odd was the lack of bottle caps, trash and...

    Big score!

    Quick run to the beach after work with my son for some beach hunting. 5 minutes in he waves me over, he opens his palm and this beauty is sitting there. We have found our share of rings that look great and turn out to be CZ but this one looked like it could be the real deal and the band was...

    Equinox has increased the competition!

    I have been detecting for about 20 years now, I started as a Cub Scout activity with my son. Although 20 years is not that long ago, back then (at least in the Southern CA area) metal detecting was not that popular and in our area had a social stigma attached to it in that it was reserved for...

    Lower shaft twisting

    The lower shaft has started to twist, I took it apart and the issue appears to be the enlarging of the button hole to the point the button pops right through. The cam lock is as tight as I can get it but there is a lot of play. I will be questioning Minelab if this is a warranty issue hope they...

    First ring find, 600 proving itself!

    Last minute decision to grab the Nox and head to the beach for the last hour of sunlight after work. Was working a nice cut and enjoying an amazing sunset when I saw a spout just past the surf line, a mother Gray whale and calf were passing by which is unusual to see them in so close to shore...

    600 dry sand depth is amazing

    I've had my new 600 out to the beach a couple times now and I am completely amazed at the depth of this machine. I am running Beach mode 1 all default settings, but using a WM08 from my son's 800 that he does not use and the wired headphones that came with the 600. I am in Southern CA where the...

    Question on 600 and "AU" code on display scren

    After watching my son at every hunt with his Nox 800 nail 3 times more targets than me with my Whites I joined the Nox club and got myself a 600. Assembled it last night and was pleased the shaft was solid as can be with no wobble, at least for now anyway. I do have a question for those with the...

    No Gold Mode

    So the 600 is lacking the "Gold" mode but still utilizes the higher 20 & 40Khz when in the multi park or field mode. Has anyone done a comparison between the Gold mode on the 800 and the Park or field mode on the 600 to see if the dedicated Gold mode is truly more effective at finding small gold...

    Minelab warranty question

    So just throwing this out there to see if anyone has asked Minelab or has thoughts on this issue. I would assume most everyone who has acquired an Equinox pre-ordered it and many paid the full price upon ordering to get a spot in line (I did). In completing the online warranty page they require...

    EQ 600 any regrets?

    Hello everyone I am new to the forum in terms of posting but have been an active "lurker" for quite a while. Anyway I have been involved in the treasure hunting hobby since my son wanted to give it a try when he was in Boy Scouts. After 15 years of off & on hunting (depending on free time) we...
