Minelab Equinox 900
Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency detector with waterproof carbon-fiber platform.
Official specification overview. The Minelab EQUINOX 900 is a lightweight, waterproof simultaneous multi-frequency detector designed for parks, fields, beaches and gold prospecting. It combines Multi-IQ operation with selectable 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz single frequencies.
Who the EQUINOX 900 is for

Strengths
The wide Target ID scale, compact carbon-fibre shaft and two included coil sizes make this a versatile package. Beach mode and waterproof construction suit wet conditions, while Gold mode and 40 kHz operation add flexibility for small targets in mineralised ground.
Points to consider
The large number of audio and recovery settings can take time to learn. Do not assume that a high Target ID guarantees a valuable target: depth, target angle, corrosion and nearby iron can move the reading. Test local coins and common rubbish in the mode you plan to use.
Buying checklist
- Confirm which coils and headphones are included by the authorised dealer.
- Check current warranty coverage in your country.
- Compare the collapsed length with your transport requirements.
- Verify the manufacturer’s current price rather than relying on a fixed figure.
