Equinox 600

The Minelab Equinox 600 is an all-purpose waterproof metal detector built around Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology, which runs several frequencies at once and adapts automatically to changing soil and target conditions. With three preset Detect Modes — Park, Field and Beach, each with two profiles — and a quick set-and-go design, it suits hobbyists and newcomers chasing coins, jewellery, relics and gold across parks, fields, shorelines and shallow water. Alongside Multi-IQ, single-frequency options of 5, 10 and 15 kHz let you tune for specific targets, while a fast recovery speed and a 50-segment Target ID help separate good finds from junk in busy ground. The detector is fully submersible to 3 m (10 ft) for rivers, lakes and surf, and pairs with the 11-inch EQX 11 Double-D smart coil. A backlit monochrome LCD keeps target information clear, wireless audio is supported for cable-free listening, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers around 12 hours per charge. At just 1.34 kg it stays comfortable all day, and it is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty — a versatile, capable entry into Minelab multi-frequency detecting.
