Learn to get better performance from your Minelab EQUINOX with this practical guide by experienced detectorist and author Clive James Clynick.
The Minelab EQUINOX Series: From Beginner to Advanced combines more than 35 years of the author’s treasure-hunting experience with detailed instruction for understanding the EQUINOX platform. The book explains Multi-IQ technology, detector controls, target responses, and search techniques in practical language that helps users progress beyond factory settings.
Whether you are hunting parks for old coins, working iron-filled sites for relics, searching beaches for gold jewelry, or detecting in shallow water, this guide can help you better understand what the machine is telling you.
Published in 2018, this book was written for the original Minelab EQUINOX series—primarily the EQUINOX 600 and EQUINOX 800.
Many of the Multi-IQ concepts, search techniques, audio principles, and target-analysis methods may also benefit owners of newer EQUINOX detectors. However, the book was not written specifically for the EQUINOX 700 or EQUINOX 900, which have different controls, Target ID scales, features, and settings.
The EQUINOX series combines simultaneous multifrequency detection with fast target processing and highly adjustable audio. Clynick explains how these characteristics affect depth, stability, target separation, and identification.
Readers will learn how to balance sensitivity and other controls for the conditions instead of simply running every setting at maximum. This helps produce a smoother search, clearer target responses, and more accurate decisions about which signals to investigate.

Accurate target identification involves more than watching numbers on the display. The guide emphasizes combining audio, meter information, and disciplined coil control to form a more complete picture of each target.
These skills can help users recognize partially masked coins, identify questionable iron responses, investigate deep or weak signals, and separate desirable targets from nearby trash.
The EQUINOX series is especially popular with beach and shallow-water hunters. This book discusses how to use the platform as a gold-jewelry detector while dealing with salt, iron, bottle caps, and other difficult targets commonly encountered around shorelines and swimming areas.

Learn from the pros how to customize the Equinox for your hunting you local conditions.
Very impressed with the quality of this metal detector. It is very user friendly and easy to learn.
Pros: The author shares detailed information on the theory and operation of the Equinox, evidently drawing on much experience using both this detector and other advanced models. He explains how to be more successful avoiding trash and identified several of the same 'problems' I have been experiencing as a new user and their workarounds. Cons: Not easy reading (not 'Equinox for Dummies'), more like a college textbook. I plan to reread this and manual again as I learn how to better use the Nox 800. Diagrams useful and could have been more. More real life examples to further explain points would have been great. Also, my copy was missing appendices 27 though 32 listed in the Contents.
Great manual to learn how to use my new minelab equinox 800. I skimmed through it once already and referred back to it a few times since I started using it.
A must book to learn your metal detector.
