Equinox 800

I recently bought a equinox 800. I'm wondering if anybody has a good program that they're using on it?

I used an 800 for almost 5 years. Started in Park 2, after a while I switched to Park 1 after hunting with a guy that was doing well with it in the trashy old parks we hunt. Was in a slump and decided to give Field 2 a try with settings recommended by fellow forum member Mark kus. Also switched from the 10x5 to the 6 in coil. In those last 3 years I had my best years as far as silver and other keepers. Where I went wrong was switching to the 900. Shoulda stuck with the 800. Thats a story for another time. So I was running Field 2 in 5 tone, recovery 4 and Ib 0. I had my bins set at -9 to 10. vol. 5 11 thru 13 vol. 25 14 to 17 vol. 15 18 to 24 vol. 20 and 25 to 40 vol. 25. Didn't change the pitch any. nothing disc'd out. The volume set to 25 in bin 2 & 5 really makes the mid-tones and high tones pop. It worked well for me. good luck.

Been using the 800 since 2019, and at the suggestion of another forum member,
This is what I started out with.
Sensitivity 23-24
All tones
Park 1
Full volume and adjust with headphones.
Recovery 4
Iron bias F2 set at 2 ( I later lowered it to 0)
Have only made minor changes since then and have done well.
I was surprised at the finds I made so soon and in places that I have pounded with other detectors (or thought I had)…
Best detector I have ever owned and very impressed with it!
One other suggestion….you might want to post this question on the Equinox forum.
Good luck!!

My settings are exactly what Fwcrawford uses. My experience mirrors his as well. I could not believe the amount of silver and other old coins I found with these settings. You have an awesome tool at your disposal. Learn the language and you’ll be rewarded.

I am glad I finally persuaded you to get one Jim…..
