Multi-purpose detector for land and water
The Minelab EQUINOX 700 is a metal detector built for treasure hunters who work on land and in shallow water. Its IP68 rating allows submersion to 5 m (16 feet) so beaches, rivers and wet fields are all accessible. The 119 high-resolution Target ID system helps users distinguish valuable finds from trash before digging.
Lightweight carbon-fiber shaft
The detector weighs 1.2 kg (2.8 lb) thanks to a 3-piece carbon-fiber shaft that collapses to 61 cm for transport. No active cooling or power-hungry components are present so operation is silent and power draw is limited to the control pod electronics. The compact form reduces fatigue during long detecting sessions.
Multi-IQ simultaneous frequencies handle sustained
Minelab's Multi-IQ technology runs multiple frequencies at once, giving consistent target separation and depth indication across varied ground conditions. Recovery Speed and Iron Bias settings let the user tune response for trashy sites without losing sensitivity. The system maintains performance during extended hunts rather than only in short bursts.

Questions about this item
How do I assemble the three-piece carbon-fiber shaft and what step is often missed?
Extend the three carbon-fiber sections until each locking collar clicks, then tighten the cam levers; the step users skip is aligning the coil cable along the lower shaft before securing the final clamp.
Which parts of the EQUINOX 700 will need replacement over time?
The coil cover and skid plate wear first on abrasive ground; the rechargeable battery pack inside the control pod typically lasts several seasons before its runtime drops noticeably.
What limits detection depth during long sessions with Multi-IQ active?
Battery depletion is the first limit; as the internal pack voltage falls the transmit power reduces, so maximum depth decreases before the detector shuts down.
