The Minelab EQUINOX 900 combines revolutionary Multi-IQ technology with professional-grade features that make it equally capable of finding Civil War relics in trashy farm fields or gold nuggets in mineralized ground. You're getting three coils (6", 11", and 15"), wireless headphones, and our complete Serious Detecting kit.
Key Features
- Multi-IQ Technology: Simultaneously runs multiple frequencies for superior target separation and depth
- 119 Target ID Scale: High-resolution identification helps you dig more treasure, less trash
- Three Search Coils: 6" for tight spaces, 11" all-purpose, 15" for maximum depth coverage
- Waterproof to 16 feet: IP68 rating means you can hunt shallow water or heavy rain without worry
- Carbon Fiber Shaft: Lightweight 3-piece design collapses to 24" for travel
- Low Latency Wireless Audio: Crystal-clear sound without annoying delays
Why the EQUINOX 900 Outperforms Single-Frequency Detectors
Most metal detectors force you to choose one frequency and hope it works for your hunting conditions. The EQUINOX 900's Multi-IQ technology runs 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz simultaneously. This means you'll find deep silver coins that low-frequency detectors miss, small gold that high-frequency units excel at, and everything in between—all at the same time.
The recovery speed and iron bias controls let you dial in performance for specific sites. Hunting around old iron farm equipment? Crank up the iron bias. Working a clean beach? Max out the recovery speed for faster target processing. These aren't just marketing features—they make a real difference in trashy ground.
Complete Bundle Includes
This isn't just a detector—you're getting everything needed for serious treasure hunting. The factory includes ML 85 wireless headphones, three coil sizes, and protective skid plates. Our Serious Detecting kit adds a finds pouch, padded carry bag, digger with holster, heavy-duty shovel, and cap.
The 15" EQX coil extends your depth range significantly over the standard 11" coil. If you're hunting large open areas or want maximum depth on larger targets like caches or deep relics, this coil transforms the EQUINOX 900 into a serious depth machine.
