The X-TERRA ELITE Expedition Pack is designed to give detectorists flexibility across a wide range of environments without changing machines. Using Minelab’s Multi-IQ technology, it allows simultaneous multi-frequency operation in Park, Field, and Beach modes, helping maintain consistent target response across different ground types.
With full waterproofing to 5 metres, it is suitable for wet sand, surf zones, rivers, and shallow underwater use. The included two-coil setup allows you to switch between wider ground coverage and more precise searching depending on site conditions.
Multi-IQ enables the detector to operate using multiple frequencies at once in Park, Field, and Beach modes, reducing the need to manually change frequencies when moving between locations.
Six preset search modes (Park 1 & 2, Field 1 & 2, Beach 1 & 2), plus All Metal and a custom user profile, allow you to tailor detection behaviour to your environment and preferences.
Adjustable volume, ferrous volume, and multiple tone options are supported, along with vibration alerts that can be enabled for all targets or ferrous targets only.
The Expedition Pack includes both the V12X 12"x9" elliptical coil for efficient coverage and the V8X 8"x5" coil for tighter areas and improved manoeuvrability.
A red backlit LCD and keypad, integrated flashlight, and waterproof housing support early-morning, evening, and poor-visibility detecting sessions.
