The Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector is the sales leader among metal detectors in the X-Terra lineup. It is an advanced model that combines all the advantages of previous versions and unique innovations. It is aimed at professional searchers and is suitable for finding all types of metals, treasures, jewelry, coins, and military artifacts.
The main differences from the 305 and 505 X-Terra include a new ground tracking mode, a feature for determining target size added to the Pinpoint mode, a backlit display, and an increased number of saved settings (discrimination masks) up to 4. The enlarged 10.5-inch DD coil allows covering larger areas, increasing search efficiency.
All the poles are mounted using collet clamps - no play, the device is perfectly balanced. The middle pole has holes for height adjustment for the treasure hunter. The comfortable armrest with a soft padding is equipped with a securing strap.
Voltage adjustment function. Time flies unnoticed when a treasure hunter is engrossed in search, often they do not pay attention to the battery level. As a result, due to decreased depth from reduced voltage, many valuable finds can be missed. The Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector is equipped with an internal voltage regulation system, allowing the device to maintain this parameter until the batteries are completely drained. This provides great opportunities – as the detector operates in normal mode without loss of power.
The noise canceling function "Noise Cancel" essentially filters out electrical interference. Mobile phones, power lines, and other competitors with metal detectors all cause unnecessary noise. In such cases, it is better to turn on the "Noise Cancel" function, which can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The threshold tone function "Threshold" is adjustable in values from -5 to +25. If you are targeting searches in coastal areas, which are typically heavily polluted with metal debris (bottle caps, can tabs – the "permanent residents of the beach"), it is better to work in negative values to avoid being thrown off by the abundance of false signals. When searching for coins and relics, it is better to use positive values; otherwise, the signal from them may be so weak that you simply won't hear it.
When searching with the Minelab X-Terra 705, you can use comfortable headphones with adjustable volume to enhance the sound of your findings. External noises can interfere with hearing the sound of a valuable find, and with headphones, you won't be disturbed, and you can be assured that you're not causing inconvenience to those relaxing on the beach while you work.
The sensitivity adjustment on the Minelab X-Terra ranges from 0 to 30, allowing for a more productive search, as this function directly affects the depth and accuracy of detection, especially when working in challenging soils. You should increase sensitivity in areas with a low percentage of metal content, but if you find yourself in a location with a lot of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, you should decrease it. The same goes for areas with highly mineralized soil. Remember: the higher the sensitivity, the shallower the detection depth.
Adjustable ground balance. The X-Terra 705 has a ground balance adjustment range from 0 to 90, allowing the metal detector to be set both automatically and manually. This is a very important feature that allows operation not only in difficult soils, but also on a beach, where the amount of interference can be very high, including due to salty seawater.
To perform an automatic ground balance adjustment, you should use the 'GB' (ground balance) button.The Tracking Ground Balance Offset function on the X-TERRA 705 means 'adjusting the ground balance independently of existing settings.' Simply put, you can manually adjust the ground balance without switching from automatic mode.
Multitone sound identification. In the Minelab 705, you can choose different sound modes - one, two, three tones, or more.Pinpoint - precise location detection of the target; for the X-Terra 705 to use this function, you need to press the "PinPoint" button, at which point the detector switches from dynamic to static search mode.The Minelab X-Terra 705 is equipped with a target size identification function called "Sizing Mode." Now you can determine not only the location but also the dimensions of the target, and you can do this without adjusting the sensitivity.
