MINELAB Equinox 700 Multi-Frequency Metal Detector — 11" Waterproof DD Coil & Wireless Headphones, Collapsible

The MINELAB Equinox 700 is a lightweight, fully waterproof multi-frequency metal detector that combines single-frequency selection with Multi-IQ technology and includes an EQX 11" waterproof double-D coil plus low-latency wireless headphones.

Built for serious hobbyists who want a single machine that adapts to beaches, parks, fields and shallow water, the Equinox 700 blends portability with advanced signal processing. It supports four selectable single frequencies or Multi-IQ mode, which simultaneously uses multiple frequencies for better target response across varied soils. The package includes the 11" double-D waterproof coil and wireless headphones, and the detector collapses down for easy transport.

How does the Equinox 700 handle different ground and target conditions?

The Equinox 700 gives you tailored performance whether you’re hunting in trashy parks, mineralized beaches or open fields. Choose one of four single frequencies for focused searching or use Multi-IQ to run five frequency channels at once for broad-spectrum sensitivity.

• Park mode for high-trash environments with stable response to coins and relics.
• Field mode tuned for small gold and fine targets across less-cluttered ground.
• Beach mode optimized for saltwater and wet sand with ground balance options.
• Single-frequency options (4 frequencies) for pinpointing specific target types.

Is the Equinox 700 suitable for underwater and wet conditions?

Yes — the Equinox 700 is fully submersible to 16 ft (5 m), so you can hunt at the shoreline, wade in rivers, or search shallow dive sites without fear of water damage. All core electronics, including the control housing and coil, are built to maintain performance when submerged.

• Fully waterproof control box and coil rated to 5 m depth.
• EQX 11" double-D coil designed for stable wet-sand performance.
• Waterproof connectors and corrosion-resistant finishes for beach use.
• Built-in flashlight and backlit display for low-light shoreline sessions.

What detection features help separate trash from treasure?

The Equinox 700 combines accurate target ID, adjustable audio response and ground balance controls so you can quickly determine if a signal is worth digging. The detector’s discrimination, notch filtering, and Fast Track or manual ground balance let you fine-tune responses to common trash items while keeping desirable targets audible.

• Fast and reliable Target ID numbers to help assess likely target types.
• Adjustable audio modes and sensitivity for clearer signal interpretation.
• Notch and discrimination settings to filter out unwanted metals.
• Handgrip vibration to silently indicate hits without headphones.

How portable and user-friendly is the Equinox 700 for travel and beginners?

The Equinox 700 is designed for comfortable all-day use and easy transport. Its three-piece carbon-fiber shaft keeps the weight low and the packed length short, while preset modes and intuitive menus get new users searching quickly.

• Lightweight — about 2.8 lbs (1.2 kg) for reduced fatigue.
• Three-piece shaft packs down to roughly 24 in (61 cm) for backpacks or checked luggage.
• Preset Park/Field/Beach modes plus a clear backlit display for simple setup.
• Low-latency wireless headphones included for tangle-free listening.

Who is this for: The MINELAB Equinox 700 suits hobbyists and experienced detectorists who want one detector to do many jobs — from coin-and-relic hunting in parks to beach and shallow-water searches. It appeals to travelers who need compact gear, users who want easy-to-use presets, and anyone seeking the flexibility of both single frequencies and Multi-IQ multi-frequency performance.
