“The Minelab EQUINOX is truly in a league of its own. In the short time I’ve been operating this machine, I’ve recovered deep coins and artifacts from iron infested sites that other machines simply cannot detect.”

Equally adaptable for all target types and ground conditions… just select your detecting location and go!

Great for high-trash recreational areas, including most general detecting.

Ideal for detecting in historical fields for the widest range of target sizes.

Optimised for all salty conditions – dry sand, wet sand, surf, underwater.

Best suited for gold nugget prospecting in mineralised goldfield locations.

“EQUINOX GOLD BABY!!! Derek and I were testing the EQUINOX prototype yesterday, on another Victorian dump field over on the East side of Scotland. The field was very contaminated and busy with lead, scrap, iron, etc.

We managed a few nice finds and one special 22ct gold coin from the reign of Queen Victoria, dated 1849 – 168 years old!!. It was a great signal at around 6-8 inches and one you would dig all day long. We were detecting next to a Roman camp and quite possibly unearthed a broken Roman cast bell, could be medieval though and one or two other cool artefacts”

User Interface

The clear LCD features large Target ID numbers so you can see your target ID at a glance. All of the information you need when detecting is right there in front of you.

Detect Modes and operating frequency can be instantly changed at the push of a button for a dynamic and uninterrupted detecting experience.

Using the EQUINOX 800 user interface, you can:

• Change the Detect Mode, Frequency and Sensitivity on the go.
• Create your own notch discrimination patterns to ignore unwanted targets.
• Activate All-Metal mode to temporarily disable the current discrimination pattern.
• Activate Pinpoint mode to zero-in on a promising target so that you know exactly where to dig.
• 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.
• Customise Advanced Settings to change the way detections are heard, by selecting the number, pitch, and volume of your detection signals.
• View the status of your battery and wireless audio device connections.

Plus more!

On a recent trip to England:

EQUINOX is a remarkable detector! I detected a medieval fair site littered with iron and coke [hot rocks] that had been hunted to death 6 weeks before I arrived. The number of targets recovered was impressive including, Rose farthings, trade tokens, buttons, fleur-de-lis mount, brass nails and bits of lead / brass scrap.

Multi-IQ

Low frequencies give more depth on large targets, and high frequencies are usually more sensitive to small targets.

* 20 kHz and 40 kHz are not available as single operating frequencies in EQUINOX 600. The Multi-IQ frequency range shown applies to both EQUINOX 600 and 800. This diagram is representative only. Actual sensitivity levels will depend upon target types and sizes, ground conditions and detector settings.

Other Technologies

EQUINOX 800 offers 5 single frequencies of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz, giving an expanded 8-times range of 5 to 40 kHz.​
