The X-Terra has a number of different icons that have been designed to best represent and identify the metal objects in the ground.

Target ID

Target ID

The numeric identifier

of a particular metal object underneath the ground.

Depth indicator

A guide to how deep a metal object is under the ground. The more arrows displayed, the deeper the object is likely to be from the coil.

Buried metal objects are referred to as targets. As the coil is passed over a target, it detects its conductivity and displays this as a number. Target Identification (ID) is used to distinguish one type of metal target from another.

Target ID numbers range from -4 to 44 on the X-Terra 30 and -9 to 45 on the X-Terra 50. Negative numbers represent ferrous targets and positive numbers represent non-ferrous targets.

The last detected target ID stays on the display until another target is detected. If the detector passes over a target that it rejects, the display will return to a blank detection screen represented by 2 dashes.

Discrimination segment

Another identifier of metal objects, each segment refers to a certain type of metal signal. Segments can be turned off (to accept targets) or turned on (to reject targets) which in turn accepts or rejects signals from the corresponding metal objects.

(A grey icon on the diagrams in this manual represents a flashing icon on the detector.)

x-terra specifications

The Minelab X-Terra series has established itself as a prominent choice in the world of metal detecting, known for its advanced technologies, user-friendly design, and versatility in various detecting environments.

One of the key features of the X-Terra series is its adjustable frequency operation. It incorporates the innovative Multi-Frequency Technology, allowing users to switch between different frequencies (3 kHz, 7.5 kHz, and 18.75 kHz). This flexibility enhances the detector's performance, making it suitable for a wide range of targets including coins, relics, and small gold nuggets. The ability to choose frequencies optimizes sensitivity to various types of metal, ensuring better detecting outcomes.

Another standout characteristic of the X-Terra is its dual-purpose capability with a variety of coils. The series supports both DD (Double D) and Concentric coils, providing users with the options needed for different soil conditions and detecting scenarios. The DD coils are excellent for covering larger areas and providing greater depth, while Concentric coils offer superb target separation and pinpointing capabilities.

Minelab’s X-Terra metal detectors are designed with a user-oriented interface that includes an easy-to-read LCD display. This display shows both target ID numbers and depth indicators, helping users make informed decisions on whether to dig a target. The series also features intuitive controls, making it accessible for beginners while still providing the advanced features that more experienced users look for.

The X-Terra series incorporates Minelab’s advanced discrimination feature, which allows users to filter out unwanted metals. This feature is invaluable in trashy environments, improving the overall efficiency and enjoyment of the hunt. The device is also equipped with a threshold control option, making it adaptable to varying ground conditions.

Lightweight and ergonomic, X-Terra detectors are built for extended hours of detecting without causing fatigue. The adjustable shaft allows for customization to fit the height of each user, enhancing comfort during long detection sessions.

In terms of durability, the Minelab X-Terra series boasts weather-resistant features, providing added protection against the elements. Overall, the Minelab X-Terra series is a sophisticated, versatile, and highly effective metal detector suitable for treasure hunters of all skill levels. Whether you're searching for historical relics, coins, or precious metals, the X-Terra stands as a reliable companion in the field.
