Minelab Equinox Metal Detector

The Minelab Equinox line runs from the entry-level 600 to the flagship 900, all built on Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology. Choose the 900 for the widest frequency control, the 700 for near-flagship performance at a lower price, or the 600 as the simplest starting point.

What Makes the Equinox Series Different

Every Equinox metal detector in the lineup is built around Minelab's Multi-IQ technology, which the brand describes as the ability to "automatically employ 5 frequencies at once" instead of hunting on a single frequency. Minelab frames this as working for "all metals, all soils, all the time," which is why the same core platform scales from a beginner-friendly 600 up to the fully loaded 900.

Every model in the series is also fully waterproof, with Minelab rating the detectors as submersible "up to 16 ft (5 m)" so the search doesn't have to stop at the shoreline. The lighter models use lightweight 3-piece carbon-fiber shafts that pack down to a mere 24 inches, which keeps the whole kit backpack-portable between hunting trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Multi-IQ technology on the Equinox?

Multi-IQ is Minelab's simultaneous multi-frequency system. Instead of running one frequency at a time, it automatically employs 5 frequencies at once, with 6 single frequencies also selectable when you have a specific target in mind.

Is the Equinox metal detector waterproof?

Yes. Every Equinox model is fully waterproof and submersible up to 16 ft (5 m), so you can keep hunting at the beach or in shallow water, not just on dry land.

Which Equinox model should I start with?

It depends on budget and how much control you want: the 900 gives the most frequency options, the 700 covers most of the same ground for less, and the 600 is the simplest entry point into the series.
