Adjust an array of essential and advanced detecting functions including Noise Cancel, Ground Balance, Volume Adjust, Threshold Level, Target Tone, Accept / Reject, and Recovery Speed. The discrimination range is the highest in any Equinox machine to date and allows for a very high degree of customisation and accuracy. Increased Sensitivity Levels Equinox 800 and 600 had issues with leak integrity (many of them had leaks that disaffected users who like beach metal detecting). Considering the fact that Equinox 900 submerging depth has increased by 2 meters (from 3 m to 5 m), the issue was resolved. Control unit However, the Equinox 800 is still an absolute powerhouse in the world of detecting, and there’s a reason it sat as the world’s best-selling metal detector for years following its release. It’s also a great metal detector and is superb value for its price point! Each of these modes are designed to help you use the detector in a variety of different environments.

The Equinox 900 uses the same Multi-IQ technology as the 800, but it has been tuned slightly differently. It comes with the new Minelab scorpionarmrest, which was recently announced on the Manticore, the new Flagship coin, and treasure machine. The new arm rest is more comfortable, durable, and is simple to adjust, improving the detectorist's experience. Low frequencies typically give more depth on large targets than high frequencies, which are usually more sensitive to small targets. With Multi-IQ you can operate across the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously for maximum results 4kHz, 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz & 40kHz.(Equinox 900). 6 SINGLE FREQUENCY OPTIONS Will you be buying one of the new Minelab machines? Or will you perhaps decide to go down the XP route? Let us know in the comments below or join us on our Facebook Group. Links: Recovery Speed and Iron Bias control how your detector responds to multiple signals: from minimizing your chances of digging iron to sniffing out gold and treasures hiding within the trashiest ground and everything in between. LIGHT AND COMPACTAs I mentioned earlier the announcement by Minelab that they were coming out with the Equinox 700 and 900 took a lot of people by surprise. Many feel as though this announcement was too soon due to the fact the Manticore isn’t widely distributed yet. Paul Cee – The Equinox 900 is an absolute hoover. It’s just an absolutely brilliant bit of kit. I’ve tested it extensively, both in-land and on the beach and to be honest it’s been a pleasure. There is a lot more versatility on this machine than the 800. A lot of the parameters from the 800 have now been expanded and you can push it more in a lot of areas. Minelab has done its best and even more to get higher sales than Nokta Makro Legend. But just because Nokta Makro Legend offers the same, but for a lower price, the sales drop. Minelab should renew the product line, get their customers interested, and, this way, make them share their money. As I wrote below, this device has been restyled, renewed, and improved, but this is in no way a new metal detector. If XP designed Deus 2, despite all its visual similarities with Deus 1, this is a completely new metal detector. And vice versa. If Minelab designed a new Equinox 900, despite its visual discrepancies with Equinox 800 – this is an old metal detector.

The best-selling all-in-one treasure and gold detector just got better. The EQUINOX 900, driven by Minelab’s proven ground-breaking Multi-IQ technology, boasts an impressive 119 High-Resolution Target ID system, superior target separation, and is fully waterproof to 5 m (16 ft) with an IP68 rating. With upgrades like its 3-piece carbon-fiber collapsible shaft system and advanced audio controls, plus fully-loaded features including Control Pod Flashlight and Handgrip Vibration there’s never been a better time to join the Minelab EQUINOX revolution. Having five selectable frequencies gives the versatility that is equivalent to five conventional single frequency detectors. Should you upgrade from the Equinox 800 to the 900? We can’t say! It is definitely better than the 800, but, unless you have the disposable income, we’d advise purchasing the Manticore. And if you’re upgrading from the Vanquish series or from any other good detector, which should you buy? It depends on your budget. As ever, as detectorists we not only want a detector that performs technically, but one that is easy to use, and weight is a massive factor in this. The 800 was no elephant weighing in at a modest 1.3kg but is the 900 any lighter?

With IP68 waterproof capability to 5 m (16 ft), take EQUINOX anywhere and own the ground beneath your feet. With its waterproof design, the Equinox 900 can be used in a variety of environments, including land, beaches, and even underwater up to 5 meters. It offers exceptional performance and is easy to use, but also offers the ability to fine-tune settings for more experienced users. With its huge popularity, there is a wealth of information and guides available online.
