MINELAB X-Terra Voyager Metal Detector for Adults, All Terrain, Waterproof,Target ID, 4 Modes, Kit with Headphones & Digger

Overall I am very satisfied with this metal detector. It is very easy to use with very little learning curve. It easily identifies the metal and indicates approx how deep the object is.It is very lightweight and has a "cheap" feel to it, which initially concerned me. But after using it for a couple weeks, this no longer concerns me. It has been very durable so far and I feel that I am a little rough with it.I do wish it could extend a little farther than it does. I am 6' and it is at the limit of being comfortable with my reach. I bought my dad one for father's day and he is 6'3". It feels a little short for him.As far as operation - I love it. Right out of the box I found .11 cents in my yard!I have found a few WW2 relics with it. The indication and depth proved to be exact.For amateur use, this has been perfect and I love it.It comes with a folding shovel that actually works pretty well and is fairly durable. It works better than an old folding army shovel I had been using.

Note, I've only had this detector for exactly one week today. Prior to owning this, I bought a $149 detector from Harbor Freight which was a piece of junk so I promptly returned it and got the Xterra Pro. Though I am completely new to metal detecting, this detector got me up and detecting in no time. I've used it to dig up scrap metal(nails, screws, whatever)in my front yard, and to do a bit of coin hunting. I've only really done actual hunting on two occassions. The first was hunting for coins and the second was scrap metal. This was all done mostly in my front yard. The pictures are the results. Most of these were found no deeper than 6 inches under ground.As a novice metal detector, I have nothing but accolades for this detector. Before purchasing this detector, I saw a review on Youtube saying the grip on this detector was a no go for this individual due to arm fatigue. Being a small person, this naturally concerned me. When I first used it, I extended it out so the detector was 3-3.5 feet in front of me and this was causing arm fatigue per the video. I experimented with new postions and found that if I extended it only like 6" -12" in front of me, it solved the arm fatigue issue. Note, I tend to sweep more to my side than directly in front. On top of that, I found it more natural detecting with this posture. Now all the detector does is pull on my arm. It no longer torques my arm like before which was tiring after a while.So how good is it? Unfortunately, I have none to compare it to except the $149 Harbor Freight one and let's just say this is in a league of it's own so how can you. Is it hard to use? Yes if you dont't take the time to learn it. But absolutely not if you do your homework; it's very easy to use. How good is it at finding things? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. All I can say is that if it tells you something is there, it's there. The depth guage is pretty accurate as best I can tell based on all my findings. When it comes to locating the item, based on the signals, I can usually get within a 3.5-4" diameter circle without my Garrett proPointer AT. You have to learn to do this because when the item's too far down, pointers aren't going to be able to detect it. There are no guides that I know of that will teach you how to do this. I've developed my own method. If the item is near the top, I can shrink that circle in half with the Exterra pro alone. It takes practice if you've never metal detected before.It definitely helps if you have a decent understanding of the physics of electricity and magnetism. A coin laying flat is going to give you a different signal than a coin standing up. If you understand electricity & magnetism you will understand why the signals are different. As with anything, you need to use it to learn to speak the machines language. With this Exterra Pro, I've been able to detect tiny,tiny metal parts like staples that are 1/8" x1/4" buried a couple inches under ground.As to the find ratio, everything I've dug up so far puts me at I would say 99%. I can only recall two digs that yielded nothing. With my discrimination settings, my coin hits have been in the 90% range because sometimes I'll hit a bullet casing or some copper of some sort.In summary, this a fantastic detector that is a quality build with lots of features. I highly recommend it. If you are new to detectors, this detector will not disappoint!

The Minelab X-terra pro is a great metal detector for those that are just getting started with metal detecting and don’t want to spend a lot of money. We’ve taken it out on the beach multiple times. We had just as many finds if not more from the X-Terra compared with the Manticore. The picture shown in thus review was everything found in one beach hunt.

Está bien hace el trabajo, todavía no lo he usado mucho pero para el precio en el que lo compre es un excelente producto.

Great product, very easy to assemble. Instructions are very helpful. This was a great product to find property line pins that were otherwise nearly impossible to find in dense foliage and woods. The variable settings allow for different types of metal detecting, such as iron property pins, jewelry, etc. Two 9-volt batteries come with it. Great value.
