The Minelab Equinox 800 delivers professional-grade performance with Multi-IQ technology that runs five frequencies simultaneously, making it incredibly versatile for everything from coin hunting in parks to gold prospecting in mineralized soil.
Key Features
- Multi-IQ technology - Runs 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz simultaneously for superior target separation
- Waterproof to 10 feet - Perfect for beach hunting and shallow water detecting
- 15" DD coil included - Covers more ground and adds depth for larger targets
- Wireless audio - Low-latency Bluetooth headphones and WM 08 module included
- Four detect modes - Park, Field, Beach, and Gold settings optimized for different environments
- Custom profiles - Save up to 8 personalized settings (2 per detect mode)
What Makes This Bundle Special
This isn't just the standard Equinox 800 - you're getting the larger 15" coil that significantly improves depth and coverage. The bigger coil is especially effective for relic hunting in open fields and finding deeper silver coins that smaller coils might miss.
The Multi-IQ technology sets this apart from single-frequency detectors. It automatically adjusts to ground conditions and target types, so you don't need to constantly switch frequencies like you would with traditional VLF detectors. This makes the Equinox 800 genuinely effective across different hunting scenarios without carrying multiple machines.
We've also included our complete Serious Detecting Kit with every purchase - a finds pouch, digger, carry bag, cap, and shovel to get you started right away.
Who This Is For
The Equinox 800 works well for detectorists who want one machine that can handle multiple hunting styles. If you're planning to hunt beaches, old home sites, and maybe try some gold prospecting, this gives you that flexibility without buying separate detectors for each application.
The wireless audio is particularly nice for long hunting sessions - no cord getting caught on brush or constantly adjusting a wired headset. The WM 08 module can also drive wired headphones if you prefer those.
