desertcart.com : MINELAB X-Terra PRO All-Terrain Professional Fully Waterproof Metal Detector for Adults with Pro-Switch Technology : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Very high-quality metal detector for the price! - This MINELAB X-TERRA PRO metal detector is powerful, and the design is easy to use being lightweight with a long-lasting battery life. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to properly set this machine for the best detecting and learning is a quick process with the easy-to-follow menu and the multi adjustments. My first use was to find a garden hose brass connector buried 6 inches deep to replace a section of hose that was starting to leak. The signal was strong and after setting the tone that I like- was very easy to hear even without headphones. The screen is easy to see and when the numbers rise you are over the target and can be used for discrimination- after a few test -tries. I have a storage bag and pin-pointer for it, so I picked the simple kit, and this machine is definitely MINELAB quality and functions perfectly for this low price. Great find!
Review: Does not disappoint! - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid starter metal detector
*by N***L on January 3, 2026*

I bought 2 of these on prime day, after doing A LOT of research and review reading, and I love it. I have always been interested in Metal Detecting, and this device is a perfect budget metal detector to learn on. Now I am fully aware that there are better Metal Detectors on the market, but for this price I was able to get two, so that I could bring my girlfriend, or a buddy to the beach with me, and this thing just works. I dig up everything I find, at my current knowledge level. I can kind of guess when I have a bottle cap or a tent stake based on the number reading the display tells me, so I know that it works correctly. It is sensitive enough to find the little twists you put on plastic bags at the produce section of the grocery store (I know, because I have found them) even when it is a few inches deep in sand, so it has no problem when it comes to jewelry or coins, or the occasional toy car. Eventually I might find a need to upgrade to a more expensive model, but I am very pleased with the functionality of this device, and am in no rush to upgrade at my current skill and knowledge level. If you are interested in learning how to metal detect, or just curious if it is a hobby you will enjoy, this is the metal detector I recommend. Make sure to get a good scoop or shovel (depending on if you will be digging in dirt or sand) a finders bag, and a pinpointer. Also I suggest you get some form of footwear that doesn't have metal in it. Happy hunting!
