How it differs from its neighbors

The Equinox 900 adds more on paper. It offers six single frequencies from 4 to 40 kHz, a Gold mode and a second stock coil, the 6-inch EQX06. Body, weight and ID scale match: IP68 to 16 ft, 2.8 lb and -19 to 99 (119 segments).

The Equinox 800 lists the Gold mode and six single frequencies from 4 to 40 kHz too. Minelab rates it waterproof to 10 ft (3 m) and gives 2.96 lb.

For a coil-only waterproof choice at the same 2.8 lb, Minelab's Vanquish 540 also runs Multi-IQ, with All Metal, Custom, Jewellery, Coin and Relic modes. Only its coil is waterproof, to 3.3 ft (1 m).
