Has the Equinox made all single vlf machines obsolete??

I use the AT GOLD ,XP DEUS and EQUINOX 800 in this demo. I use gold and silver in this demo of multi IQ tech verse single freq vlf detectors. It doesn't matter what brand of detector you use if its a single vlf detector this video is relevant for you.multi IQ

If you can't considerately take two minutes to summarize the content of your video in text instead of expecting someone to spend 17 minutes of their time to listen to you ramble on , I doubt it's "relevant" to me , especially when it's just another redundant question with no definitive answer.

Aside as to how the Nox performs, 2 of the dealers i know have told me that they have barely sold any other brands since the Nox came out, for them it has obsoleted much of their stock of non minelab detectors.

DONT WATCH IT THEN ! I spend hours of my time testing and shooting and editing ....

Calabash you should should just ask yourself if you feel any other machine will find you something that the Nox won't see and if the case is no? Sell all your other machines.

Its not a matter of feelings, to much of that going on these days. Can I find something that the AT GOLD and Deus will hit that the Nox will not? NO ,not yet. Can I find in test things the Nox will hit that the Deus and AT Gold will not hit? yes. F75 just got here a few minutes ago.....

I will give you a 100 for that AT-GOLD since it won't get the sliver of gold between the nails. I think you used a dime in your first test if I'm not mistaken.

In my test the coins are on edge between deck boards with 3 nails per deck board tell me why in my test that the AT-GOLD picks up the nickel and the dime?

Very good questions! Thank you so much for all your efforts!

The Equinox is still a new machine and as such it has the curiosity of many especially since its from Minelab. However it will not obsolete single frequency machines as there will be certain machines that might do better in certain areas or sites than the Equinox. The Equinox is the first machine to have selectable multiple frequencies which is a big plus and a wonderful option. Minelab has the money to do a lot of things other companies may take longer to do and we can expect to see great things to come from Minelab in the future.

Which is what makes it such a waste when you could take 10 minutes and type up a summary of pertinent information that could be read in 3 minutes and no one would be expected to waste their time watching you waste your time for a measly few debatable observations.

The Nox is but an inanimate object--derision isn't directed at an inanimate object.

Shoveler if he did not show vids and just typed up a summary then everyone would complain that he made it all up.. just don't watch it or watch the last few minutes. For Pete's sake it's only a few minutes.. obviously you ARE very interested in HIS conclusion that we all know takes alot of time to do, and we all appreciate by the way, then just take a few minutes and listen to it while your on the John, or driving (listen don't watch) or whatever.

I take it Shoveler does not watch movies only reads the reviews. You can't please everyone that's for sure. I've enjoyed the videos CD. Thanks for the time and effort you clearly invested and shared with us.

When the conclusion is foregone there is no need to waste the time.

I just want to detect and have fun.

Agreed.

Thank you calabash digger for all of this fine work.
Shoveler shouldn't get his coil all puckered up and just watch the ding dang video.

Don't work for minelab. All the guys hating above and stating what it will do or wont do I have a question for you guys. How many of you guys actually have the machine?? Just saying what you guys got a crystal ball or something. I mean think about it the detector can see targets that single vlfs cant see ...from one end of the conductive scale to the other. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that s a great leap forward for detectors... Do you guys understand how different freqs react to different conductive type targets??? Because if you did what I'm telling you would be a NO BRAINER.. Equinox is running from 5 kh to 40 at the same time.... it will see stuff that a f75 at 15 kh or whatever it runs at cant. Or a AT PRO. MX SPORT and the list goes on and on....because their stuck at one operating freq and that can not cover the whole spectrum of conductive targets..What I'm talking about is not hype its A SCIENTIFIC PROVEN FACT...You guys can throw all the eggs you want but it aint gonna change the fact that what I'm showing and telling you is TRUE!

go troll someone else pal!

Your doing good work Calabash..
Some people are just blinded by their own emotions and biases..
It can be very powerful to those who are unaware..

Thanks for the video. The Deus seems to hit better with the right frequency selected still, not by miles though. Can you select a single frequency with the Minelab and make it better for a specific type of conductivity? If you plan only to hunt for one type like coins only which is better? It can really only obsolete a single frequency machine if it can hit 100 percent as good or better while still getting the opposite conductive type targets.

The Nox hit the targets better than the Deus in those test I did it might be that your not used to the NOX audio. Its a milder audio than the deus..... Multi IQ works better on the Nox than single freqs do. Knowing that multi freq works best there would never be a reason just to hunt in a single freq unless emi or something causes you to have to. That multi freq is unmasking something very special...

It may not obsolete single freq.... in fact i believe the manual even says it wont in some cases. However, it sure narrows the choice on which to grab based on where you intend to hunt that day. It really can be several machines in one reducing the cost you have to pay having several machines around. Even second best..... sure aint bad when you most likely are comparing it to more expensive detectors...... like the CTX. I see a lot of people buying this machine to detect area they wouldnt before just because they didnt want to buy another machine..... it may not have obsoleted the BEST of um, but it sure hurt sales.

I'm far from an expert. But, these videos seem very convincing to me. It seems to work better overall than the rest of the machines.

Yes, you can select a single freq (four on the 800) to " make it better for a specific type of conductivity". As to which freq? That, of course, is up to you. The whole point of multi freq is that it uses different freq all at the same time so that you don't have to guess which is best for that particular condition. AND, not only select-able single frequencies but select-able multi frequency as well that are weighted for different size and conductivity targets.
To make something obsolete, the new product just has to be a more logical choice than the old product. It doesn't have to do it 100% as good or better (I haven't found anything that the Nox doesn't do 100% as good or better yet). It's like Dew said," it narrows the choice on which to grab based on where you intend to hunt that day". When the choice becomes so narrow that you only grab the one machine hunt after hunt because it does everything any of your other machines can do and more due to it's versatility and now you don't have to haul three machines or three coils for the same machine in to the field to do the job...your other machines gather dust and become obsolete. Just look at the used detector market since the Equinox was announced. It seems that many operators feel that their old machines have, indeed, become obsolete and don't want them cluttering up their closets.

If I'm not mistaken, you can select from 5 frequencies on the 800 (5,10,15,20,40kHz)...

You are correct!
