We do not accept a DD-214 as proof; please do not submit one. Every Minelab detector eligible for the offer is in our military discount collection.

    Why the Equinox 900

    The Equinox 900 is Minelab's all-terrain Multi-IQ detector for coins, relics, jewelry and small gold. Multi-IQ transmits several frequencies at once so target IDs hold steady as ground mineralization changes, and six single frequencies (4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz) are there when a site calls for one. Four detect modes, Park, Field, Beach and Gold, each carry two profiles, recovery speed runs 1 to 8 for iron-heavy sites, and the whole machine is IP68 waterproof to 16 ft (5 m). The 11 in coil covers open ground; the 6 in coil, included in the box, separates targets in trash and fits tight spots. At 2.8 lb on a 3-piece carbon fiber shaft, it collapses to 24 in for travel. Read how it compares with its smaller sibling in our Equinox 700 vs 900 comparison.

    Answered by Richard T. · September 2026

    Is the military discount Minelab Equinox 900 the same detector as the regular listing?

    Yes, the military discount Minelab Equinox 900 is the same detector as the regular listing: new US stock, the same box with the EQX 11 in and EQX 06 6 in coils and ML 85 wireless headphones, and the same 3-year Minelab warranty. The only difference is the 15% off for verified active and retired military. The regular Minelab Equinox 900 page carries the full write-up and settings guidance.

    Answered by Dan P. · September 2026

    What single frequencies does the Minelab Equinox 900 have?

    The Minelab Equinox 900 has six single frequencies, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz, alongside its Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency mode. Low frequencies favor large, high-conductivity targets such as silver; 20 and 40 kHz favor small gold and fine jewelry, which is why the 900 has a Gold mode and the Equinox 700 (4 to 15 kHz only) does not. Most hunters leave it in Multi-IQ and switch to a single frequency only for a specific target. Coils and accessories are in our Minelab Equinox 900 collection.
