Great video! I needed this because I have a big area in my yard that I want to hunt so bad, but the minerals and concrete make it constantly go off.

I totally agree with the way Your doing it... Set, then reset... Should give the best at depth ( & maybe add to depth).. as far as the auto, I agree, But to be fair will test in prospecting, beach, & park mode in mineralized ground... Making 2 passes over area ( one with it on & one off) & note if more targets found, their sounds, & depth to find out if there is a notable difference... Stay Safe & God Bless -Mike

You need a trip to Florida soon. Excellent video on Ground Balancing. Quiet ground is the biggest issue of all.

I appreciated the nuanced conversation on ground balancing vs. sensitivity. I'm not well-versed enough to comment yet, but your thought process was illuminating. Consider me subscribed.

Thank you, glad to have you on board.

Thanks for taking the time to produce this video, it cleared up a few things for me, it's nice to watch and learn from other 900 users. I bought my Nox 900 last year and was only able to use it a few times. This year however, I'm newly retired, so... I'm now able to catch up on watching videos and I expect to get out more often and really use it. I might even try it today, weather depending, it's supposed to be in the upper 50's this afternoon. I'm in Southeastern lower Michigan. Keep the videos coming. Happy Hunting!!

Hello Mr Sod Buster, I do have a comment about ground balancing, I found that when you use auto ground balancing and you spend too much time over a target, then it will balance the minerals with the target, as long as you don't spend too much time over a target then I believe it will be OK in the auto mode.

As someone starting from scratch with an Equinox 700, your videos are really helpful as some of the other KZread vids assume that you know what they are talking about.... and us newbies haven't got a clue. I have been getting a lot of fluctuating VDI's over a small area, with number ranging from 20's to 80's.....im guessing this is a combination of noise cancel, ground balance and sensitivity?

@SodBustersMetalDetecting

Жыл бұрын

It can be a lot of different targets in that area. Sometimes you will get multiple targets per swing. Concentrate on the tones and not the vdi.the vdi will not be as helpful as the tones.

It would be interesting to find out. Let me know what you find out.

Thank you for all your time and effort to put together your videos, its greatly appreciated. Your a great teacher. I was looking at a video by Derek of "the detecting channel" from FL. He did a video where he discriminated a range of numbers so he could better find targets in a area. There were some metal lawn chairs in a beach area and he ran his 800 around the chairs, made note of the numbers then made adjustments to the 800 so it would not pick up the chairs thus having a better chance of finding coins or jewelry around the chairs. How do you do this with the 700 which I have and I'm sure it's the same as the 900?

Alex came down under to new Zealand we can go out for a hunt I not very experienced need some we can put up

Good Theory, Interesting topic. I heard many say once you change anything up on the Nox You should noise cancel again. so do you ground balance before noise cancel and then again after ground balance? I myself do not use ground balance at all and sometimes I do not even noise cancel. For the going on 11yrs. I just mostly turn on and swing. I either use park 1 or 2 or Beach 1 or 2. But this yr I might tweak out the setting more just cause I will be going over grounds I have pounded on. Thanks For sharing, Food For Thought.. Peace

You said it can change within 10 feet which is true but I thought you were saying to run it that way and if you have to rebalance every ten feet that's what you do. What I was getting at is why would you run a machine where you had to ground balance that often. That would take all the fun out of metal detecting.
