Minelab Equinox 900 Multi-IQ profile for this hunt.
Lightweight do-everything Multi-IQ machine
The Minelab Equinox 900 is a lightweight Multi-IQ detector that balances power, portability, and all-terrain versatility. It remains stable on saltwater, separates well in trash, and collapses easily for travel. Minelab built it for hunters who want flagship Multi-IQ capability in a faster, lighter package. It is a natural fit for travel detecting, long beach sessions, park grids, and relic sites where you need depth without arm fatigue.
