Quest X10 IDMAXX Overview
The X10 IDMAXX runs Quest's CVX Compact VLF platform on a single 12 kHz frequency. It has four search modes: Field rejects target IDs below 20 with a fast recovery speed, Gold has no discrimination and is the only mode with an adjustable threshold, Park rejects IDs under 40 for coins, and User stores your own settings. Frequency shift moves the detector away from a nearby machine or a noisy power line.

Quest X10 vs X5 IDMAXX: Which Should You Buy?
- Quest X5 IDMAXX: the same water rating, shaft and battery, with the narrower Blade9 coil and segment discrimination.
- Quest X1 IDMAXX: the entry model, with a control box that should stay out of the water and a shaft that sets up at junior length.
We lean toward the X10 for larger, open areas and the User mode, and toward the X5 when maneuverability and a lower price band matter more. The bigger coil covers more ground per sweep, but it does not guarantee more depth on every target, and in trashy ground a smaller coil can give more usable signals.

Quest X10 IDMAXX, Best For:
- Open fields and beaches where targets lie far apart
- Returning to a saved setup at a favorite park
- Hunting by ear, with tone profiles that split targets into up to five groups
Where the Quest X10 IDMAXX Works Best and Its Limits
The X10 handles parks, fields, beaches and shallow water. As a single-frequency detector, for regular hunting in wet salt sand we recommend a multi-frequency machine from our beach metal detectors. After a beach hunt, rinse the detector and keep the audio protection cap on, because Quest's warranty does not cover sand in the connector. Keep wireless headphones on dry land when the detector goes under.
