X-Terra Elite Metal Detector by Minelab
A fully waterproof Multi-IQ machine with tons of features made with the smart hunter in mind. You don't have to settle for less than the X-Terra Elite. It has a lot of great features, such as:
- 6 Search Modes
- High-Resolution Target ID range
- 25-level Sensitivity
- Advanced 4-Level Iron Bias control
-
Pre-Programmed Search Modes: 2x Park, 2x Field, 2x Beach Multi-Frequency Search Modes with optional 15kHz single frequency in Park and Field modes.
Waterproof
The Minelab X-Terra Elite has a waterproof depth of 5 meters (16 ft), which is very impressive when you think that a 6-foot-tall person is only 1.83 meters tall. Anyone who hunts regularly or just on the weekends will be satisfied by how well the X-Terra Elite performs. It is also a lightweight swing at only 1.3kg/ 2.2 lbs.
What is Multi-IQ?
This is Minelab’s revolutionary Multi-IQ technology. It is True Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Technology which means you’ve got the combined power of multiple detectors in one — all working for you at once! Essentially, it is like shining multiple flashlights on the ground, illuminating what treasures can be found underneath you. Yet instead of flashlights, they are frequencies.
Nothing goes undiscovered and no terrain is off-limits. Gold, silver, relics or jewelry. Park, field, or beach. Experience the power of Multi-IQ inside of the X-Terra Elite for yourself.
