Hey man I just recently bought this because I had recently moved to jersey and I have lots of land so discover so I bought this metal detector and I searched for videos all over online and I swear you were the only one that got straight to the point and actually explained it super well keep up the great work thank you!!

I have had one for a year. All I have done is turn on and go and kicked butt. There is a heavy duty 30 amp power cord laying across an iron manhole cover. My old beloved detector would give me an O L reading. Overload. This one, the 800, would give me the iron grunt, beep and grunt perfectly as I swept fast across. Perfectly separated signal. Really fast recovery means fewer masked targets.

Short, sweet, and to the point! One of the best tutorials I have yet to see. I bought my Equinox 800 on January 14th and have yet to take it out as the ground is frozen solid here in Southeast Idaho. In the meantime, I'm going to learn all I can from videos like yours.

You just made my mind up, thanks man. I was looking at the 900 and the manticore and frankly, I don't think I need them. Heading to the detector shop today. Thanks from merry England.

[Spaceflightlover]

Thanks for a great video to get someone started. Just unboxed the machine and its charging. Really looking forward to some hunting with this detector.

Thanks for the video I just got mine today. I already found a wheat in my yard. However, I've been a treasure hunter for 17 years. This yard has been done 100's of times by 3 machines. A Whites MXT, a Garette At Pro, and a Fisher. I was excited to find a wheat that the older machines missed. Every machine will usually find something different and open those old sites up again. Thanks for sharing, happy hunting!

I recognized where you were immediately by the mountain background. Ogden. Great video

[aarontheamateur]

Nice! Just moved to Orlando Florida from Herriman Utah a couple years ago. I THOUGHT I recognized those mountains! :)

What tips do you have for detecting areas with a lot of vegetation? I found some old maps from late 1800’s and overlayed new maps. Found some public parks here where metal detecting is allowed and I’m 97% sure I found an area where there were buildings and stuff in 1885. But it’s WAY over grown. Not nice maintained Kentucky blue grass to swing over.
