Multi-IQ Technology

Why Multi-IQ? Because more performance shouldn’t mean more effort. Minelab’s proven simultaneous multiple frequency technology gives you the power of multiple detectors working for you at the same time. With Multi-IQ there's no switching frequencies, no second-guessing. Just turn it on and start finding. Coins, gold, jewellery. Parks, fields, beaches. No terrain's off-limits. No treasure left behind. All metals. All soils. All the time.

4 Search Modes

Engineered for full versatility, the EQUINOX 800 comes with four detecting modes (Park, Field, Beach, and Gold), each with two custom profiles. This setup gives you the freedom to move between urban, rural and gold-rich sites without missing a beat. Gold Mode delivers added sensitivity in mineralised soils, helping you locate even the smallest targets. No matter where you detect, you’ll have a mode and a profile ready to go.

6 Single Frequencies

Six single frequencies (4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz) give you the freedom to adapt to different targets and terrain. From deep coins and relics to small, hard-to-hit finds like fine jewellry or gold, this range lets you fine-tune how your detector responds. It’s built for detectorists who want to push further and find more.

Adjustable Noise Cancel and Ground Balance

Automatic and Manual Noise Canceling, gives you more flexibility to handle electromagnetic interference like power lines in complex environments. You can quickly switch between modes to match the level of interference in your surroundings. Ground balance is fully adjustable, with both auto and manual options to fine-tune your detector to the soil. This level of control ensures a smoother, more accurate detecting experience in varied ground.
