EQUINOX 800 and 900: The Perfect Metal Detectors for All Terrains

EQUINOX 800 and 900: The Perfect Metal Detectors for All Terrains
From gold-rich western states to historic coastal areas, America’s diverse landscapes offer endless opportunities for metal detecting enthusiasts. Whether you’re searching for gold nuggets in gold country, relics on Civil War battlefields, or treasures along sandy beaches, having the right metal detector makes all the difference. The Minelab EQUINOX 800 and its enhanced counterpart, the EQUINOX 900, stand out as versatile and reliable options designed to perform across a variety of terrains and conditions.
 

Performance in Mineralized Soil

Regions like the goldfields of California or the deserts of Arizona are known for highly mineralized soils that can confuse many detectors, resulting in false signals or missed targets. Both the EQUINOX 800 and EQUINOX 900 excel in these challenging conditions with Minelab’s advanced Multi-IQ technology. By simultaneously operating on multiple frequencies, they effectively distinguish between junk, hot rocks, and valuable finds, giving prospectors the edge they need.
 
For gold hunters, the Gold Mode in both models is particularly impressive. This mode is specifically calibrated to detect small, shallow gold nuggets often found in iron-rich soil. With fast recovery speeds and excellent ground balancing, both detectors ensure no valuable target is overlooked, even in areas with heavy mineralization or scattered debris.
 
The EQUINOX 900 takes performance further with an extended detection range, allowing it to find targets at greater depths, making it ideal for those looking to uncover even more treasures.
 
 

Adaptability Across Environments

The EQUINOX 800 and 900 shine in a variety of environments—forests, farmland, beaches, and even underwater. Beach Mode minimizes interference from salty, wet sand while maintaining high sensitivity to coins, jewelry, and other treasures.
 
At just 2.96 pounds (1.34 kilograms) for the EQUINOX 800 and slightly lighter for the EQUINOX 900, these detectors are perfect for long detecting sessions, whether you’re trekking through rugged trails or combing the shoreline. The EQUINOX 900 also features improved ergonomics, making it even more comfortable for extended use.
 
 

Built for Tough Conditions

Durability is key when detecting in challenging climates, and both models deliver. Waterproof up to 10 feet (3 meters) and built to handle dust, rain, and extreme conditions, the EQUINOX 800 and 900 are ready for whatever the environment throws at you.
 
The EQUINOX 900 enhances this ruggedness with upgraded construction materials, providing even greater durability and reliability in extreme environments. Both detectors feature rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, ensuring dependable performance during extended outings and eliminating the need for frequent battery changes.
 
 

A Detector for Your Skill Level

If you’re an experienced prospector exploring remote terrain, or searching for treasures at your local beach, the EQUINOX 800 and 900 are intuitive metal detectors. Customizable settings let you tailor the detectors to your specific needs, while their straightforward interfaces make operation a breeze.
 
The EQUINOX 900 builds upon the 800’s ease of use by incorporating additional features like improved target ID resolution and an updated display, offering a more refined detecting experience for those ready to take their skills to the next level.

 

Choose Your EQUINOX

For detectorists seeking high-performing, all-terrain metal detectors, the EQUINOX 800 and EQUINOX 900 offer unmatched versatility, durability, and precision. Both are built to tackle the most challenging conditions, helping you uncover treasures and history wherever your adventures take you.
 
The EQUINOX 800 remains a reliable and accessible choice, while the EQUINOX 900 delivers enhanced features and performance for those looking to elevate their detecting game. Whatever your needs, Minelab’s EQUINOX series ensures you’re equipped for success.
