Thank you ... for explaining LE.JAG .... I think ... when the manufacturer devotes a little more time to fine-tune the Top pulse detector, or its final production it's just a good thing ..., Finally, everyone wants to buy for their money ... the better tuned Detector ...

If this is a better detection when sweeping the coil up above the ground on very deep Equinox signals, this allows for a low recovery speed of 2-3 .... on low and medium mineralized terrains. ,,,....but in very strong mineralization when you have to use recovery speed 6-7 it will not help ....- there Equinox likes low sweeping coil over terrain ...... For example, from my observation with detector Fisher Gold-Bug2 or Deeptech Vista Gold Gain on strong terrain mineralization ... it will actually help improve detection .. when you sweep the coil up 5-7cm above the terrain of heavily mineralized terrain .. Speaking of testing....so for testing I use a low to medium mineralized test field..with a very deep storage subject at depths from 4 "to 15" .. Next I use 2 outdoor test boxes 350 liter "Liapor" box 4bar Fe3O4 = 0.4% magnetite ... and 60 liters ´ "BlackSand" Box 7 bar Fe3O4 = 4% magnetite .. Finally, to quickly check and compare the ability of detectors and coils to handle mineralization using 3 compact test BlackSand boxes with extremely strong mineralization of 4.4%, 12% and 33% Magnetite content .... 350 liter -4 Bar Fe3O4 "Liapor"= 0.4% Magnetite ..test box --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My test field.. low and moderate mineralized terain.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For comparison 4.4% Magnetit mineralization = equal to 7bar Fe3O4 of very strong iron mineralization as measured by the Teknetics G2 detector. Old 40 liter Black Sand box= 7Bar Fe3o4.. =4.4% Magnetite mineralization.. 3 kilograms pure Magnetit... in new 60 liter Black sand box..=7bar Fe3o4 mineralization.. Equinox 800, Vista Gold Gain 30khz.... and Teknetics G2 testing ..im Black Sand../standart coils/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tesoro Mojave testing 7" CC concentric coil contra 6x8 " Sef DD coil in 4Bar Liapor test box... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testing Compact Black sand boxes 12% and 33% Magnetite.. Interestingly, this compact 33% Black sand box / = 7.6kg black sand / ... contains 2.6 kg of Magnetite !!! Thus, testing on the other two Test Boxes of 12% and 33% revealed all good and bad detector setup or coil properties.

My observations and tests show that Equinox alone 1f frequencies work with substantially reduced TX performance (about 1/10 Standard Tx) -a similar to the reduced Tx performance in Beach 1, and Beach2 ... and Tests even confirm that under certain conditions1 frequencies 5Khz, 10.khz, and 15khz, I will be more resistant than Beach 1 and 2 programs with lowered Tx because Beach programs contain frequencies 20 and 40 khz - .... which will be unstable under the conditions of the strongest mineralization. And this is a disadvantage in other multi-frequency programs in Equnox .. Park, Field and Gold .... these programs already on the highest mineralization (33% magnetite) can not stably and properly debug GB .... For comparison .... Multifrequency programs Park, Field, Gold I will work stably only up to 12% magnetite mineralization ,,, and 1Frequency programs 5Khz, 10khz, and sometimes 15khz, I can work stably up to 33-40% magnetite mineralization .. Of course ... count on the smaller depth range ... so maximum 50% -60% depth .... but the detection is stable .. 1F separate frequencies 20Khz and 40Khz I will work well to 12% mineralization ... for example at 40Khz, and high sensitivity 23-24 .. in the program Park1..I have no problem detecting 1.15gram open gold earrings in at a depth of 4 "´ = 10cm ... under 12% magnetite mineralized by "Black sand" test box.. : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But 1F frequencies of 20khz and 40khz will no longer work steadily on mineralization of 33% magnetite ..- and that's the problem with all multi-frequency programs in Equinox-Park1, Park2, Field1, Field, Gold1, Gold2- because they also contain frequencies of 20 and 40 khz. .. 1F -15khz frequency is also slightly less resistant in 33% magnetite mineralization, but it is more resistant than 20khz and 40khz frequencies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be interesting if the minelab of Equinox could create a "multi-frequency program" for extreme mineralization ... containing these 3 more resistive frequencies 5Khz-7.8Khz-13Khz .. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We recommend everybody to test and compare how extremely 1F 5,10,15 khz frequency works in combination with recovery speed 6-7, low iron bias setting and Discrimination set to 0, + 1 or more .. You will be surprised how strong mineralization Equinox can manage ..

In high iron mineralization you can also use 1F frequencies 5Khz ,10Khz and in some cases even 15khz khz, because: ... 1F separate frequencies at Equinox work with significantly lower TX power /=1/10 normal Tx/- which will work similarly ... or even better than the Beach program ... Explanation ... commonly multifrequency programs Park, Field, Gold also contain frequencies 20 and 40 which are more sensitive to strong iron mineralization ...- so these multifrequency programs will work well and stable only to a certain degree of iron mineralization terrain ../to 12% magnetite mineralizacion/ So in case of poor stability of multi-frequency programs/in 33%magnetite mineralizacion/ or their use only at low sensitivity, it is better to use a separate 1 F frequency of 5Khz, 10khz or 15khz.: 1F frequency -5Khz -sa excellently used to detect highly conductive coin-large silver ... 1F frequency 10Khz - will be more versatile and will adequately detect high and low conductive Items. 1F frequency 15Khz is most universal for all types of conductive objects, but may be less stable in some cases of extreme mineralization,/in 33% magnetite mineralizacion / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1F frequencies 20Khz and 40 Khz/Equinox800/ no longer handle the highest mineralization ... but in terrain where I can still work stable I will have excellent results on low conductive targets.../to12% magnetite mineralizacion / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use individual1F frequencies in combination with recovery speed 6-7, and Iron bias to low..and Discrimination to 0,or better to +1and more....- which appears to be the most effective in strong mineralization.

Redneck is a good reason ... Aka Intronik ... I recall only the most Aka detector users in Russia today, but I think the arrival of the Aka Intronik multi-frequency detector will change this situation - and this detector will find more users in the world. Of course, if the Metal Detector is really powerful, it will find its place on the market. .Yes .... good network distribution and service is needed ..

It would be fair to compare Vanquish on Jewerly and Equinox on Beach 1. I think it is very similar to programs .. from my observation on very deep buried coins .. the Vanquish 340 and the V10 coil are deeply close to Equinox 800 and 11 " coil and recovery speed between 3-4 and sensitivity=20 .. 1. The Vanquish /beach1 type /program is resistant to salinization of large mats - and this can greatly reduce the ID stability on conductive, ... or fertilizer-enriched terain/saline/ ... especially compared to Park2 programs, Field 2 where less stable. -and accuracy ID more sensitive from saline terrain ... 2. The Vanquish elliptical coil shape here can also play its role in ID accuracy.

Today I got a shipment with Vanquish 340 ... the first impression is good, and the operation of the detector itself is very simple ..., .. The weight of the detector with batteries is 1165 grams .....V10 coil ... has a true size of 17.7cm x 25.4 cm and a weight without coil cover exactly 360 grams .. I made a short comparison of the detector range in the Jewerly program ... which is most sensitive to very small targets ../ compared to Allmetal /.. The range in Centimeters is ... good-solid signal with ID...range to 0.1gram 24K gold is 11cm..excellent result for this class/Entry level/ of detector .. A... big plus/+/..is the highly conductive silver coin giving a high ton ... Simply adjust the detector to a straight bar to get a very compact detector dimensions with a length of 60 cm, and 1100 grams weight.. This also adjusts but also shortens the maximum total length of the detector to only 105cm .. so it will be good eg for children ... or for special situations in very confined spaces .. If the possibility of swapping the rod to the longer lower rod such adjustment will also be suitable for adult people.-that's my intention ..

Merci ...ALexandre... Black Sand with 51% volume of Magnetite will be a big challenge for any VLF detector ..., some detectors can work on such terrain, but I will have a very limited detection range .. I use for testing 3 compact "Black sand" boxes containing 4.4%, 12%, and 33% Magnetite .. boxes are 4 "high = it means 10cm thick Black Sand .. 12% magnetite allows still acceptable detection .. with reduced depth...33% magnetite in the Box is a strong test /"Limit" /for the VLF detector ..The signal attenuation factor through mineralization is too high... It's a place ... where the "IMPulse" Detector ...is going to have a great advantage..and will excel... ...

Excellent work ALEXANDRE ... I think ... that little pack of "Black Sand" from Fuerte Ventura has at least 70%-80% magnetite.

Regarding the real availability of the Vanquish detector ... I can say ... that my minelab Vanquish 340 detector was sent to me today, so European dealers are starting to send detectors from the first shipment.

Jeff McCIendon..... I admit that at 340 I kind of estimated performance similar to my Teknetics G2 and your test confirms it ... what I consider to be a very good performance ... another plus at 340 will be ... a little more impact on high conductive targets .. for equally-sized reels ...7x10" Vanquish vs 7.x11" tek G2... .it would be interesting to have a small 5x8 "Vanquish coil ... against your F19 on a 5x10" coil... My Vanquish V340 is being sent to me by the vendor tomorrow, so soon I can tell you more about it .. Thank you for testing and comparing performance between the two detectors ..

I did an Equinox test and an 11 "coil, I used a compact Black-sand box which contains 12% magnetite. In this test, I used several different sized test items from low-conducting items such as an open gold earring 1.15 grams .. 2cm thin gold ring weighing 0.9 grams, and a 13.5mm-0.45 grams silver hammer coin ... to a highly conductive coin US Quarter and also 4 gram silver coin 1korona FJ 1893 .. ,, I did a test on Park1 for multifrequency, recovery 6-7,iron bias F2=0, discriminacion =0, and sensitivity from 10 to 24. The Ground balance on the Black Sand was the same for the multi-frequency as well as for the individual 1f frequencies and had a GB value of 2. In another test, I have also tested Equinox on individual frequencies 5,10,15,20, a40Khz - where I have investigated how high the sensitivity is needed for a given frequency to correctly detect with IDs on various size.. and various conductive objects .. The test results are a bit of a surprise for me ... Equinox detects all objects over a 10 cm thick layer of Black Sand. on the multifrequency already at c.uz on sensitivity 12-15 .... the only exception is an open gold earring which needed a sensitivity of at least 22-23 ... and more to correctly detect... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The biggest surprise was the direct comparison of the different frequencies on the low conductive-gold target, where it showed the advantage of having 20 and 40 kzh frequencies as opposed to 5Khz or 10 khz. 2cm -0.9gram gold ring was on 1f- 40khz detectable with ID already on sensitivity 11 ... But when testing the ring at 1f-5khz ... I had to increase the sensitivity to at least 18 to 19 to get a similar good signal from .. ID..but from smaller detection window as it is at detection to 40khz .. A similar but opposite situation occurred when testing Us 25cent / quarter / ... When using 1f 5khz I got signal with ID already on sensitivity 11 .. After changing the frequency to 40 khz, I needed to increase the sensitivity to at least 17-18 to get a similar good ID signal ... but still with a smaller detection window as it is at detection to 5Khz... For a small open earrings you will need a sensitivity of 22-24 .. to detect it at 1 frequency of 40KHZ .. Other frequencies 5-20khz here do not have sufficient range ... Multifrequency detects it at sensitivity 22-23 ... At the end of the Test,... I tried to find a frequency that would have a good ID range on the high conductive Quarter .. as well as the 2cm low conductive 0.9 grams gold ring .. As optimal frequency in this test showed 1f -15khz frequency..t but needed good detection of both objects to increase sensitivity to at least 14-15 ... Yes it is a compromise for universality ..

Nordic..to this day I will try to focus on GB differences between multifrequency and 1F frequency in Equinox ,, as well as about deep comparison .. and I will write more about it .. ,,

I got another good knowledge about Equinox coils .... in the new Black Sand box I mixed 3x more magnetite = 12% magnetite than in the first test box ... Tests are done at 10 cm depth of 12% magnetite Black sand .. The first tests showed: 1. Test result ... small 6 "coil at multifrequency ... / except Beach programs / no longer manages such mineralization and ... overloading ... secret weapons are here working at 1F at 5kzh, 10khz, 15khz, 20khz. ..by me there is a lower Tx performance so the received signal for the coil is still at an acceptable level .. But don't expect much deep reach ... Detection of tested coin size targets is impossible through 10cm black sand .. 2. Surprise ... is of 11 "standard Equinox coil works well ,, and detects even at multi-frequency without problems coin size target ...- but 12% magnetite mineralization no longer breaks strength and accuracy of multi-IQ ID .. showing ID is more like a classic Vlf detector ... shows higher and high ID numbers ... In previous tests on 4.4% Magnetite mineralization, the strength of Multi-IQ ID is still maintained. I think after these tests I get closer to the definition of how big should be the optimal coil for VLF or Multifrequency detector ... according to me it can be "DD coil" size from 8-9"to 11" ..

Simon .... you have a good idea., .. all you need to do is repack the V340 electronics and coil into an improved GO-Find body.

This is a good question Chase .., although Minelab does not inform about it in manuals, it is possible that in extremely strong mineralization lowering TX to 1/3 of ... maximum TX, can also work the same as with Equinox ..

I just want to say that earth tests are fair...especially if you add other competitive detectors to the test to compare real-time performance... ... Do not forget that all the detectors are tested on various test fields during the development. Never go straight from the lab to the field for detection .. .And then these detectors are real tested in the terain. In different situations ... where the detector is still tuned ... I consider both tests essential. It shows the technical quality of the detector ... And ... Finally, the practice of satisfied users will decide on the success of the project ...

This coil...vista X is practically a 9 "coil ..... but a length of 11" ... I consider them a progressive design and a very good idea ... according to me the shape of this straight side center part of this coil will provide a good deep detection window, while the tapered front and side tents will ensure good and better 2D separation over a similarly large circular , oval, or SEF..type coil ... .... if this 9 "x11" X Coil.. design is deeply the same with the 11 "DD Pitbul coil, ... it's hard to say ... but the impact on coin size things can be comparable .. This spool vista X is practically a 9 "coil ..... but a length of 11" ... I consider them a progressive design and a very good idea ... according to me the shape of this straight side center part of this coil will provide a good deep detection window, while the tapered front and side tents will ensure good and better 2D separation over a similarly large circular , oval, or SEF..type coil ... For an absolutely accurate comparison I could do .... if such an "X" coil was also available for Vista Gold gain 30khz. model .. What is the optimal size and design of DD coil is the best ...? See for yourself ... I'll write a little bit more about this in the topic "" Why is Airtest important? " This article will be devoted to Airtests on a variety of large and conductive objects -to a properly set detector and coil for a given type of terrain .... as well as its real reach ... in this terrain...

Daniel ... as a strong magnetite mineralization ... has Black Sand in Tenerife? ..

In my test field I can get a signal for a small 13.5mm - 0.5gram hammer silver coin at 23cm depth already at sensitivity 13-14 ... in Discrimination -a good signal -without ID ... Signal with ID get for sensitivity to sensitivity 17 and more ..- tested in Park2..recovery speed 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting the right Threshold is essential .. increases detection depth, setting to 3 to 7 is considered optimal ... _________________________________________________________ Equinox....... For very deep weak signals ... Relying on the right ID on Allmetal is not right ..- because Allmetal is a little deeper .. but weakly filters the signal for the right ID ..- you can often get the signal from -9ID, - 8ID .... To verify such a signal, use Discrimination set to 0 or better to +1, .. and you will be surprised ..

In this YT video is missing any emotion or enthusiasm for gold or treasure hunting, but maybe regularly digging 5kg gold nuggets per day is quite boring for them ..

We already know the coil prices for Minelab Vanquish.. The small V8 coil is approximately -104 euros.. The midle V10 coil is approximately -127 euros.. A large V12 coil for about -139 euros ..

Park 2 is somewhat sharper, a deeper program than Park1 ... and you can also lower your recovery speed to 3 .... and when looking for signal and slow coil movement to recovery speed 2- especially if you have a slightly mineralized and dry forest Terain.. On very wet terrain, you can still compare Park1 and Park2 on some deep signal - and see which program gives you a better response as well as a more accurate ID ... Both programs are sensitive enough to the low conductive 0.5 gram coins like Denar, Parvus .... also to medium conductive silver coins - for example Prazsky gros, as well as to high conductive silver coins .. But the Park2, Field2 .. programs still have the advantage of very small items. I use mostly Park2 or Park1 program .. I like shorter and sharper tones ..

I agree with the bulk of the size of the test material Especially heavily mineralized or salty, has a big impact on the tested detector and coil ... I find these differences on large = / 90kg / and small = / 10kg / Black sand box ..where large 90kg box mineralization significantly more affects the detection field of the coil .. In some detectors..... It is obvious that the DD coil may have similar problems if the CC coil in strong mineralization - for the best and deepest detection, you must also hold the DD coil at least 5 -7cm on mineralized terrain ../ in tests in a small box it is not visible...
