The target ID the Minelab Equinox 700 displays is a composite conductivity reading, not a single-frequency snapshot. In mineralised ground, the same coin that reads a 3-segment spread on a single-frequency machine holds a tighter band because no single ground frequency is dominating the read. Four single frequencies (4, 5, 10, and 15 kHz) remain individually selectable when you want precision on a specific conductivity range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecovery Speed (1 to 3) determines how fast the detector resets between signals. Speed 1 dwells longer on each hit for clean, low-density ground. Speed 3 snaps back fast: targets that blur together at slower speeds resolve into separate responses, which is why the Equinox 700 works in trash conditions where slower machines produce uninterpretable compound signals. Iron Bias (0 to 3) controls how aggressively the detector handles ferrous targets adjacent to keepers. Setting 0 shows everything; settings 1 through 3 apply progressively firmer iron rejection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/EQX700_Lifestyle_2021-08_Resize.png?v=1778098053\" alt=\"Minelab Equinox 700 in use outdoors showing the control pod display and carbon-fibre shaft during a field detecting session\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild, Display, and Audio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minelab Equinox 700 uses a 3-piece carbon-fibre shaft, collapsing to 61 cm (24 in) and extending to 144 cm (56.7 in) at 1.27 kg (2.8 lbs) fully assembled.
