Datasheet
This exciting NEW generation X-Terra Series is powered by
Minelab’s proven VFLEX Technology. Versatile, feature-packed
and designed to deliver world-class performance, these detectors
ensure beginners and professionals alike experience the excitement
of discovery and adventure - all part of this wonderful hobby!
VFLEX uses state of the art digital and
mixed-signal components to enhance
standard single frequency technology by
replacing most of the analogue circuitry
with digital signal processing. The small
amount of analogue circuitry still employed
has been very carefully designed and
calibrated to obtain the outstanding
sensitivity, stability and repeatability
required to match the performance of the
digital processing.
For the X-Terra user, this precision means
dependable performance and improved
immunity to environmental conditions such
as ground mineralisation, electromagnetic
interference and temperature variations.
VFLEX requires coils that are accurately
constructed and calibrated. Every time the
detector starts up, the micro-controllers
in the control box and the coil establish
communication through a digital data link.
Information about the coil is sent to the
control box, so the detector ‘knows’ what
type of coil is attached and can set the
appropriate operating parameters and
optimises performance.

Great Results...
“Having had such good luck with the first generation, I expected a lot from this
new Series and putting them through their paces, I was gobsmacked at the
performance of the new 305, 505 & 705. The coil options alone put the X-Terra
Series streets ahead of anything else available. Now, the X-Terra 305 has the HF
coil option capability… making it a serious runner in Roman, Medieval and
Saxon sites and the 505 has full frequency capability!
For me, it’s the X-Terra 705! Its super quick and lightweight and has the ability
to check tiny signals in Prospecting Mode. It comes with a choice of Pinpoint
Modes and a fantastic GB Offset option to make minute ground balance
adjustments on the bad grounds I typically search! Even the new Backlight
means I can now get to sites early in the morning and stay on later when the
light gets low.
I’ve already proven that my new 705 is better, faster and deeper seeking than
my 1st generation X-Terra and that’s just in my first few weeks of ownership…
I can only anticipate that the best is yet to come!”

The X-Terra 705 is the flagship of the Minelab
X-Terra Series. It offers the ultimate in flexibility
for coin, relic, treasure hunting and gold
prospecting.
Packed with features including Automatic
Ground Balancing, exclusive continuous Ground
Tracking, plus Tracking Offset functionality;
multi-segment notch discrimination, Iron Mask,
Auto and Sizing Pinpoint modes and a choice of
detection modes, the X-Terra 705 will perform
in the toughest environments from beaches
to goldfields with accuracy and precision. It is
intuitive, making it easy to eliminate “trash” and
identify the targets you want to recover and
providing you with full audio and visual Target ID
information and depth indication on a large LCD,
now with Backlight. You can also customise your
X-Terra 705 to your preferred settings!
Put simply, the X-Terra 705 is a superior
detector that will nd more, more often!
X-Terra 705 – The Ultimate in “All–Purpose” Detecting
The X-Terra 505 is the high performance mid-
range detector in the Minelab X-Terra Series.
An ideal detector for those who demand more
advanced functionality and performance.
The X-Terra 505 is a great all-rounder dedicated
to coin, relic and treasure hunting. It features
expanded Manual Ground Balancing, Target ID
and Audio ranges and full compatibility with
3Khz; 7.5kHz and 18.75kHz concentric, DD and
elliptical X-Terra coil configurations. Because of
the modular structure of the X-Terra, you get
these extras plus ALL of the 305 benefits allowing
for enhanced versatility, settings adjustment,
customisation and great results.
The X-Terra 505 is the perfect choice to take
your detecting experience to the next level!
X-Terra 505 – Great Depth & Accurate Discrimination
The X-Terra 305 is the solid, no-nonsense
introduction to the Minelab X-Terra Series.
Simply perfect for those who demand
professional equipment as they enter the
world of high precision, single frequency VFLEX
technology.
The X-Terra 305 excels at coin, relic and treasure
hunting. Ultra light-weight, well balanced by
X-Terra design, its specification and features
include Manual Ground Balancing capability,
multi-tone Target ID, digital numeric target
ID, Depth indicator, rapid recovery Pinpoint
function, compatibility with 7.5kHz and 18.75kHz
concentric, DD and elliptical X-Terra coil
configurations and more!
Let the X-Terra 305 show you what it can do!
X-Terra 305 – The High Performance Entry-Level Detector
Introducing X-Terra Series
Others may try to emulate the X-Terra but none offer this level of performance and exibility within
a Series that is so light-weight and easy to use. You will be rewarded with great depth, sensitivity
and accurate discrimination across a choice of detectors capable of performing on terrain as diverse
as Goldelds, Farmland and Beaches. With the X-Terra, you get the best of all worlds!
Plus/Minus adjusts settings and
scrolls to the left (–) or right (+) through
the discrimination segments.
Power turns the detector On or Off.
Menu/Select enters the Menu and
scrolls through the detecting settings.
Pinpoint/Detect has two
functions. (Pinpoint) assists in
locating the exact position of a target
prior to recovery. (Detect) exits
menu settings and returns to detection.
Accept/Reject accepts or rejects
certain metals by turning on/off
individual discrimination segments
(Coin & Treasure Mode only).
Ground Balance activates
the Ground Balance adjustment to
compensate for different types of soil.
All Metal toggles between the
selected discrimination pattern and the
All Metal pattern.
Patterns scrolls through the different
Discrimination Patterns (Coin & Treasure
Mode only).
X-Terra’s advanced simplicity explained*
(* Functions shown relate to X-Terra 705. Some variation exists on 305 and 505)
Track activates Ground Tracking
to give precise ground balance
continuously.
Mode toggles between Coin &
Treasure Mode ( ) and Prospecting
Mode ( ), and activates other
Automatic functions.
Backlight turns the Backlight On
or Off.
