The EQUINOX Series has been designed for the serious coin & treasure enthusiast looking to upgrade to a high performance detector, without the high cost. It’s also suitable for the new detectorist, having several pre-set modes for different detecting locations.  The EQUINOX Series features Minelab’s STATE-OF-THE ART Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology and combines fast recovery speed with low-latency wireless audio in a lightweight waterproof platform.

Six Frequency Options (5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 40kHz) plus Multifrequency.
Bluetooth headphones and WM 08 Wireless Module supplied. Waterproof.

All for suggested retail U.S. $899! And the base model with most of that for $649.

I would say Minelab actually did make a lot of detectors obsolete. Maybe not all but a lot of them. And 40 kHz? Yeah, I will be getting one of these!

Awsome!  I'll be ordering an 800 for sure!

Minelab's not messing around!  At these price points and features, this is going to sting the competition if these detectors perform.

I need to get some detectors up for sale. The bottom is going to fall out of used prices for some models.

Wow!  Price points are below what I (we) expected.  They are competing with themselves now.

Should I order an 800 or a Monster?  What do they really mean when they say gold?  How small and how good is the id?

If they perform like other Minelabs then this one already has me ...

[Steve Herschbach]

Quite honestly, this is what I have been wanting for some time. The ability to run either in multifrequency or at various single frequencies in a light weight waterproof package and with built in wireless. Thank you Minelab!

Now I can go back to bed....
