Minelab Equinox 900 overview

The Minelab Equinox 900 is positioned as a metal detector for weekend detectorists and beach hunters. Headline numbers: a detection depth of 4 feet and selectable multi-frequency operation from 40 kHz.

The features that actually get used are multi-iq technology, 4 search modes and 6 single frequencies — the rest is nice to have but these are why coin and relic hunters pick it up again.

It's made in Australia, and comes with a 2 years warranty.
