Minelab Equinox 900 Review

Worth it for hunters who want the widest frequency control and full waterproofing in one detector; skip it if you just want a simpler, lighter-feature machine, since owners note a learning curve around audio chatter.

Pros

Six single frequencies (4/5/10/15/20/40 kHz) plus Multi-IQ for simultaneous multi-frequency detecting
Fully waterproof and submersible up to 16 ft (5 m)
Fast, accurate 119 high-resolution Target ID with low-latency wireless headphones included
Lightweight 3-piece carbon-fiber shafts at 2.8 lbs (1.2 kg), packs down to 24 inches (61 cm)

Cons

At least one owner reported being "annoyed at all of the chatter" during an early hunt
Some long-time Minelab users say it took time to adapt coming from older single-frequency machines
Four detect modes (Park, Field, Beach, Gold) mean some settings tuning before it clicks

What Owners Say

minelab does not offer enough coil sizes. They took an already great 800 and fixed all the issues and gave it a little bit more juice! AMAZING ...
