The Minelab Equinox 900 improves on the 800 in three areas: enhanced audio with more tone options for experienced hunters who read audio nuance, better ground balance stability in aggressive saltwater environments, and a slightly expanded frequency range. For most recreational beach and land hunters, the Equinox 800 is genuinely sufficient and costs less. The 900 earns its price for competition beach hunters and detectorists who hunt demanding salt surf sites regularly. Both are fully waterproof to 5 meters. See the full Equinox series comparison.
