Description
The Equinox 900 is the machine we recommend most under a thousand dollars - and the first thing every new owner discovers is that a detector, two coils, headphones, and chargers do not carry themselves to the field. The EQUINOX 900 Essentials Bundle is Minelab's factory answer: the full 900 kit plus the purpose-built Minelab backpack, in one box under one part number (3720-1001).
At a glance
The Minelab Equinox 900 Essentials Bundle (part 3720-1001) is the full Equinox 900 kit - EQX11 and EQX06 coils, ML85 wireless headphones - plus the Minelab detecting backpack, under one factory part number. Multi-IQ multi-frequency, IP68 waterproof to 16 ft (5 m), 3 year warranty.
Why the factory bundle instead of piecing it together
Minelab publishes a $1,148 regular price for this bundle and sells it direct at our same price, when it is in stock - that is the manufacturer's own math, not a dealer's invented strikethrough. And unlike the dealer-assembled kits filling search results, every piece here is Minelab-built: the backpack is designed around the collapsed 900 and its two coils, not a generic daypack tossed in to pad a listing. One order, and the whole kit moves as one piece - truck, permission, airline overhead.
Technical specs and what they do in the field
| Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency; 4/5/10/15/20/40 kHz singles | Deep silver and small gold register on the same sweep; drop to 40 kHz single for small gold in hot ground. |
| 119 target IDs (ferrous -19 to 0, non-ferrous 1 to 99) | Iron declares itself on its own scale instead of bleeding into good-target numbers. |
| EQX11 11 in (28 cm) + EQX06 6 in (15 cm) coils in every 900 box | Coverage from the 11 in (28 cm) coil, surgical separation in trash from the 6 in (15 cm) - two jobs, one machine. |
| IP68, waterproof to 16 ft (5 m) | Wade, surf-hunt, and work flooded sites. |
| 2.8 lb (1.27 kg), collapses to 24 in (61 cm) | All-day swinging; packs into carry-on luggage. |
| ML85 low-latency wireless headphones included | Crisp responses in sync with your swing. |
| Minelab detecting backpack (bundle exclusive) | Purpose-built to swallow the collapsed 900, both coils, headphones, and field gear. |
| 3-year Minelab warranty | Control box and coil, backed by an authorized dealer. |

Which Equinox 900 bundle is right for you?
Essentials ($1,099) is the organized starting point. The Field Bundle ($1,199) adds the PRO-FIND 40 waterproof pinpointer - the first accessory nearly every detectorist buys. The Recovery Bundle ($1,299) adds the EQX15 15 in (38 cm) coil instead, completing all three coil sizes. The Ultimate Bundle ($1,399) includes both. If you already own a pinpointer and a pack, the standalone Equinox 900 at $999 is your machine.
Who it is for
Detectorists stepping into a serious multi-frequency machine who want the kit organized and travel-ready from day one: parks and yards on weekdays, a beach week in summer, a relic permission in fall. The 900 grows from motivated beginner to veteran without being outgrown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real Minelab bundle or a dealer kit?
A factory Minelab bundle with its own Minelab part number, 3720-1001. Most bundles online are dealer-assembled kits with third-party accessories; this one is packed by Minelab with manufacturer-set pricing, so every component is genuine Minelab under one warranty conversation.
Which coils come in the Essentials Bundle?
Both standard Equinox 900 coils: the EQX11 11 in (28 cm) Double-D and the EQX06 6 in (15 cm) Double-D, each with a skid plate, plus ML85 wireless headphones and the Minelab backpack.
Is the Equinox 900 waterproof?
Yes. IP68 rated and fully submersible to 16 ft (5 m), with dedicated Beach modes for wet salt sand and surf. The ML85 wireless headphones are for land use; submerged hunting requires wired waterproof headphones.
Does this bundle qualify for a military discount?
Yes. Minelab offers a 15% military discount on Minelab detectors (accessories excluded). Contact us directly at 256-284-2247 for details. It cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.
