![]() This pack of 8 x 'Coil Savers' rubber teardrop washers includes two thicknesses of washers for use in the Minelab Equinox coil connector/yoke (4 x 2mm black washers and 4 x 3mm red washers). ![]() Rubber Teardrop Washer upgrades for the Minelab Equinox 600 / 800 Metal Detectorĭescription: These washers can be mixed and matched to give the exact thickness you need for your metal detector coil and coil connector/yoke). ![]() *Please note: These Washers are NOT compatible with the Detect-Ed Compact Shaft Set due to their different shape. ![]() HTH and Happy Hunting with that 6-inch coil.Coil Savers - Washers for Minelab Equinox Not sure if these apply to your situation but thought I would mention them. You will limit depth but some of the shallower non-ferrous keeper targets may pop out of the ferrous muck that way (the term I like to use for this technique is called "sifting"). If iron is really thick, a way to combat the "iron overload" is to lower sensitivity. I have found that if you run F2 less than 3 or so, things get more "falsy". Not only is the new F2 filter more effective, it also seems to target iron better with less masking than the FE filter as long as you keep it between 4 and 6. The old FE iron bias setting seemed to be less effective (I usually left it at 0). I have found that setting F2 around 4 to 6 is pretty effective and a good tradeoff setting against masking. The only drawback to using iron bias is that if you set it too high, it can mask actual non-ferrous targets in the proximity of iron. Iron bias, especially the new F2 setting can help with this. This usually happens with large iron, especially large round iron and with small bent square nails or square nail heads. For example, if you Noise cancel and GB in Park 1 and subsequently shift to another mode like Park 2, you have to noise cancel and ground balance for that mode too.įalsing results when the detector gets fooled by ferrous or mixed ferrous targets and sounds off with high tones. If you are experiencing that, you should ground balance the detector.Īlso, as a reminder, noise cancel and ground balance settings are mode specific. Ground noise shows up as chatty iron signals in the range of -9 to -7 VDI while swinging over the ground in all metal. You would be surprised at how much depth you can get even at sensitivities less than 15. If that fails, then try switching to single frequency to see if you can find one of the 5 frequencies (Park and Field modes) to be less sensitive to the noise (or 20 or 40 khz in Gold Mode). If you feel you have to lower sensitivity TOO MUCH to make the chatter stop, then try switching modes to see if another mode is less sensitive to the noise. In that case you need to lower sensitivity. These sources include your cell phone (keep it off, in airplane mode, and/or away from the control head of the detector), wifi, walkie talkies, microwaves, invisible dog fences, etc. Stronger Broad band noise and/oir intermittent noise is harder to deal with and noise cancel is usually minimally effective. If auto noise cancel is ineffective, you can try manually selecting the quietest channel using manual noise cancel (see your manual on how to do this, manual noise cancel is only available on the 800). You can try doing an auto noise cancel but unless the noise source is constant and at specific frequencies like crackling power lines or florescent lighting or another nearby Equinox then noise cancel may not be very effective, especially if the source is intermittent. If you are getting constant chatter with the coil lifted off the ground (e.g., at waist height or higher) and you can make it go away by lowering sensitivity - that is likely EMI. So you might want to give that a shot to quiet things down. The latest firmware update with the new F2 iron bias setting at about 5 or 6 has taken care of that issue. But I do find it falses more than the 11" on small iron. I don't find the 6" to be noisier from an EMI susceptibility standpoint, in fact just the opposite. Make sure you are properly differentiating between EMI/noise, ground noise, and ferrous falsing.
