Try the 10X5 coil by coiltek. That’s what we use in the west Australian goldfields (when not using pulse induction)

The 6” biscuit is my next choice for anywhere mineralised, the 11” has Too large of a sampling area to get decent penetration through iron rich country.

Good video Matt. It's nice having 2 machines. I have the Fisher Gold Bug 2 and the Garrett AT Gold. The GB2 is so sensitive that you can't do an air test with your bare hand. The AT Gold is a good one too and has the ID screen and I use it for Gold and relics. Both machines have an affordable price range. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏

Have booth and love booth. Gm.1000 is what I prefer just because I go areas of known gold. I then go over with my sdc2300. But I love the exuonix for finding new ground.

A nice comparison between the two machines.

Thanks for the head to head comparison. I've got the 800 and I recently got the 6" coil for it, so that should be even better. I won't keep up with Todd or Gary with the SDC machines, but I can hold my own with the GM crowd...

dig it all brother and thanks for sharing i have the equinox 800 and love it also have the xterra pro but i live in minnesota so we dont have nuggets here, just beaches and 10, 000 lakes of rings

I have both detectors also just learning the Nox, have done good with the monster looking to try out the nox on gold soon

[derrickbarnes]

Great Video, Id be interested if you were able to try this same test with the 6"DD coil on the Equinox 800 vs the 11" to see how much the depth and recognition would change., I purchased the 800 because i was interested in finding relics as well as gold, have't got a chance to try it out yet.

Boy I’m excited. I’ve been thinkin about the gold monster!!! Hoping my wife gets me one eventually

[michaelwalsh]

No the gold monster gos better on manual mode deep and sensitivity on 8 or on 6 if it’s very mineralised and ground balance it by moving it up and down and moving it around not ground balancing it in the one spot up and down . But it has automatic 2 is even more sensitive then where you had it set on auto 1 not as sensitive or deep

Thanks for video. Deciding which one to get. Might just get the gold monster and a cheaper MD my kid can swing for all purpose.

This vid is very helpful! Thanks and I subscribed!

I was told that reducing the size of coil "6 inch" on the 800
Would give about the same results as the 1000..
Plus 800 water proof and 1000 isnt.

[ottisfarrisprospecting]

Found some junk, ( treasures!!), and have done a controlled test on gold, silver, brass,and lead!! Can't wait to break this thing out in cali a score my first nuggy!! 🤪 🇺🇲⛏👊

[pedrocacaepesca]

I want to buy one to bring to Brazil and For a beginner looking specifically for gold which would you recommend to get the best results?

[sancho]

Should have used a 6 inch coil on the Equinox, its a gamechanger. And also a bare hand will make a noise in gold mode

[MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

im pulling the trigger on the equinox 900 this week... any thoughts?

[Feverbever]

Switch on metal mode after scanning the gold lets check
