The Story
Minelab EQUINOX 900 Metal Detector
The Minelab EQUINOX 900 is an advanced all-terrain detector built for coins, relics, jewelry, beach hunting, and gold prospecting. Powered by Minelab Multi-IQ technology, the EQUINOX 900 combines multiple frequencies at the same time for strong performance across parks, fields, beaches, goldfields, and underwater conditions.
What’s Included
The Multi-IQ Advantage
With Minelab Multi-IQ technology, the EQUINOX 900 gives you the combined power of multiple detectors working at the same time. It is built to find coins, gold, jewelry, and relics across a wide range of soils and terrains.
No terrain is off limits: park, field, beach, and goldfield detecting are all built into one detector platform.
Waterproof to 16 Feet
The EQUINOX 900 is IP68 waterproof to 5 meters / 16 feet, making it ready for wet sand, surf, shallow water, creeks, rain, mud, and demanding detecting conditions.
Whether you are searching on dry land or in the water, the EQUINOX 900 is built for serious all-terrain detecting.
Target Separation and Precision
Recovery Speed and Iron Bias controls help manage multiple signals in trashy ground. The EQUINOX 900 can separate good targets from iron and help identify coins, jewelry, relics, and gold hiding among junk targets.
The 119-segment high-resolution Target ID scale gives more detailed target information than earlier EQUINOX models. When you have a target, Pinpoint Mode helps zero in for cleaner recovery.
