Regular price $999.00
Sale price $999.00 Regular price

The Minelab Equinox 900 is built for detectorists who want one machine capable of moving confidently between parks, fields, old homesites, freshwater, saltwater beaches and gold-bearing ground. Its combination of Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency operation, detailed target identification and two included search coils gives experienced hunters considerable control without locking them into one type of detecting.

Big Boys Hobbies makes the $999 package even more useful by adding a free Minelab padded carry bag, Minelab finds pouch and Lesche hand digger—plus free shipping, no sales tax outside Oklahoma and direct support from Bart.

Minelab Equinox 900 — $999 with Free BBH Bundle

The factory package already includes two waterproof search coils and ML85 low-latency wireless headphones. Your regular-price Big Boys Hobbies package also includes three practical accessories you can use in the field.

Eligible military members and veterans may instead select the Military Discount — No Bundle option for $849.15. No coupon is required.

Free Shipping • No Sales Tax Outside Oklahoma • Free Lifetime Support

Why Choose the Minelab Equinox 900?

The Equinox 900 is especially appealing to detectorists who hunt several types of locations. Instead of purchasing separate machines for coins, beaches and smaller low-conductive targets, you can change modes, frequencies, recovery speed and audio behavior to match the site.

Multi-IQ Performance Simultaneous multi-frequency operation provides a versatile response across varied soil, target types and saltwater conditions.
Two Search Coils Included Use the EQX11 for everyday coverage and depth, then install the compact EQX06 when targets are crowded together or space is limited.
119 Target-ID Segments Ferrous targets register from -19 through 0, while non-ferrous targets use 1 through 99 for more detailed target information.
Park, Field, Beach and Gold Modes Four main search modes provide eight mode profiles for adapting the detector to different locations and objectives.
Waterproof to 16 Feet The IP68 detector and supplied coils can be submerged to 5 meters, making the Equinox 900 suitable for rain, surf, shallow water and underwater hunting.
Lightweight Carbon-Fiber Shaft The three-piece shaft weighs approximately 2.8 pounds with the EQX11 coil and collapses to about 24 inches for transportation.

The Advantage of Having Both Equinox Coils

EQX11 11-Inch Double-D Coil

The EQX11 is the primary all-purpose coil. Its size gives you an effective balance of ground coverage, target separation and depth for parks, fields, beaches and general relic hunting. Most customers will use this coil for the majority of their detecting.

EQX06 6-Inch Double-D Coil

The smaller EQX06 is valuable around old structures, curb strips, playground equipment, dense iron and modern trash. Its compact detection area helps separate nearby targets and allows the coil to reach places where an 11-inch coil feels crowded.

Having both coils in the factory package lets you adjust the physical search footprint—not merely the electronic settings—when a location becomes difficult.

Equinox 900 Search Modes

Search Mode Best Starting Applications Why It Helps
Park Coins, jewelry, parks and populated locations Provides a practical starting point for common targets in areas that may contain modern trash.
Field Relics, old homesites, farm fields and varied conductors Well suited to locations containing older targets and a broader mixture of metals.
Beach Dry sand, wet salt sand, surf and shallow water Designed to maintain better stability around conductive saltwater conditions.
Gold Small gold and mineralized prospecting ground Provides greater sensitivity to small targets and access to prospecting-oriented adjustments.

Target Identification and Audio Control

The Equinox 900 divides its identification scale into 119 segments. Ferrous targets occupy the -19 through 0 range, while non-ferrous targets use 1 through 99. The expanded scale gives experienced users more room to observe differences between targets, but no detector can identify every buried object with certainty.

Soil conditions, target depth, orientation, nearby metal and corrosion can all affect identification. The best results come from considering the number together with the audio response, signal repeatability and surrounding conditions.

Available tone choices include 1, 2, 5, All Tones and Depth audio. Separate ferrous volume, tone-region adjustments and Iron Bias settings let you decide how much information you want to hear.

Recovery Speed and Target Separation

Eight recovery-speed levels allow you to balance separation and response characteristics for the location. Faster settings can make individual targets easier to distinguish in dense trash or iron. More moderate settings may provide a fuller response when targets are spaced farther apart.

Recovery speed should not be treated as a simple maximum-performance control. The most effective setting depends on sweep speed, target density, mineralization and the coil being used.

Water, Beach and Low-Light Features

  • IP68 waterproof construction to 16 feet or 5 meters
  • Dedicated Beach mode for conductive saltwater environments
  • Red LCD and keypad backlighting
  • Built-in control-pod flashlight
  • Handle vibration for additional target feedback
  • Built-in speaker and wired-headphone connection
  • ML85 low-latency wireless headphones included

The supplied ML85 headphones are wireless but are not intended for underwater use. Use an appropriate Minelab-compatible waterproof audio option when detecting with the control unit submerged.

Bart’s Take

The Equinox 900 makes the most sense for someone who wants an advanced all-purpose detector without stepping into Manticore pricing. The included 11-inch and 6-inch coils are a real advantage: one handles normal coverage, while the other gives you a much better tool for crowded targets and tight spaces. If you mainly hunt parks, fields, beaches and occasional gold country, this is a package you can grow with instead of quickly outgrowing.
