Minelab Equinox 600 Multi-IQ profile for this hunt.
Best-selling Equinox Multi-IQ — proven all-around performer
The Minelab Equinox 600 is the best-selling Equinox for good reason: proven Multi-IQ, waterproof design, and strong results on coins and jewelry without flagship cost. It remains one of the most recommended first serious detectors in the hobby. Minelab built it for intermediate hunters who want one versatile machine for multiple hunt types. Dry and wet sand, lawns, and relic sites with moderate iron are classic Equinox 600 territory.
