Minelab X-TERRA PRO Review

Minelab X-TERRA PRO Review product photo
Worth it if you want one waterproof detector for park, field, and beach hunting on a mid-range budget; skip it if you already need multi-frequency discrimination.

Pros

  • IP68 waterproof to 16 ft, so beach and freshwater hunts aren't off-limits
  • PRO-SWITCH frequency switching for depth across different soil types
  • Pre-set Park, Field, and Beach modes make it usable right out of the box
  • Lightweight 3-piece shaft collapses to about 25 inches for a backpack

Cons

  • 30 discrimination segments are fewer than Multi-IQ machines in the line
  • Some new owners on forums report a learning curve getting target ID dialed in
  • No built-in GPS or app connectivity
