- New Minelab 3Fx3 technology which allows it to operate at (5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kH) simultaneously
- Covers a broader range of targets when operating in "Multi" rather than operating in any one single frequency
- Eliminate excessive ground noise by switching into a single frequency
- 3 Detect Modes (Park, Beach, Field)
- Backlight Options: "On" or "Off"
- Bluetooth Audio compatible

- New Minelab 5Fx3 technology which allows it to operate at (5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kH, 20 kHz, 40 kHz) simultaneously
- 20 kHz is ideal for general treasure hunting and gold prospecting
- 40 kHz is optimum for sensing very small gold nuggets
- Covers a broader range of targets when operating in "Multi" rather than operating in any one single frequency
- Eliminate excessive ground noise by switching into a single frequency
- 4 Detect Modes (Park, Beach, Field, Gold)
- Combined with its 40 kHz frequency capabilities, you will find this detector is great for finding small pieces of gold
- Backlight Options: "Low", "Medium","High", or "Off" which will help save battery life for long hunts
- "Auto" and "Manual" noise cancel settings
- Bluetooth Audio compatible
- WM 08 Wi-Stream compatible
