Minelab Equinox 900

The best-selling all-in-one treasure and gold detector just got better. The EQUINOX 900, driven by Minelab’s proven ground-breaking Multi-IQ technology, boasts an impressive 119 High Resolution Target ID system, superior target separation, and is fully waterproof to 5 m (16 ft) with IP68 rating. With upgrades like its 3-piece carbon-fiber collapsible shaft system and advanced audio controls, plus fully-loaded features including Control Pod Flashlight and Handgrip Vibration there’s never been a better time to join the Minelab EQUINOX revolution.

The Equinox 900 is the new generation of metal detector, carbon fibre, collapsible, greater depth, greater sensitivity and in general just a more rounded, intuitive machine than its predecessors.

You no longer need to invest in aftermarket, telescopic, lighter stems, as it has it all straight out-of-the-box. It is stronger, lighter, and more compact than its predecessor, thanks to the use of carbon fibre and telescopic construction.

It comes with the new Minelab scorpion arm rest, which was recently announced on the Manticore, the new Flagship coin and treasure machine. The new arm rest is more comfortable, durable and is simple to adjust, improving the detectorists experience.

The Equinox 900 uses multi-IQ technology. Multi-IQ is the name for the patented, proprietary multi-Frequency technology from Minelab. It is the beating heart that made the Equinox 800 the best-selling metal detector in the world. Multi IQ is the benchmark in multi-Frequency technology. Other manufacturers keep on trying to emulate but so far nothing has come close!

Beach detecting is the perfect example of how multi-IQ can be so beneficial. Saline environments are difficult for any metal detector due to the salt’s conductivity. This can confuse the machine meaning false signals and loss of depth. Multi IQ analyses on multiple frequencies and uses clever algorithms to sniff out the good targets, even in the worse conditions. The result: You find more, more often. 

Equinox 900 has four terrain/pre-set modes: Field, Beach, Park & Gold

Each of these modes are designed to help you use the detector in a variety of different environments. Once comfortable, you can adjust the pre-sets or completely design your own combinations and save them for future use.

The Equinox 900 has an expanded discrimination range of 119 target Id’s (-19 to 99). You can select all metals and hear everything or accurately customize to find only the targets you want to find. The discrimination range is the highest in any Equinox machine to date and allows for a very high degree of customization and accuracy.

The Equinox 900 has a range of 28 sensitivity levels, which is 3 increments more than the 800. The increase in sensitivity is not a case of adding additional segments within the same range as the 800, the 900 is a more sensitive metal detector than any other Equinox machine.

Any coils you have purchase for your Equinox 600 or 800 will fit the 900 giving you lots of versatility immediately. It’s not the same purchasing a new machine from another range and having to accumulate all of your detecting equipment again. This machine also comes with two coils as standard (EXQ 6” and EXQ 11”).

The ID tones have been updated and offers the following 5 modes:

• AT (All Tones 99)
• 1 Tone (for any metal)
• 2 Tones (Ferrous/Non-Ferrous)
• 5 Tones (1 Ferrous, 4 Non-Ferrous
• DP (Deep - similar to the gold mode on the Equinox 800)
