Discrimination works by segments across the top of the display, each one a group of Target IDs such as 1 to 20 or 21 to 40; switch a segment off and the X5 ignores that group. Park and Field start with some segments already rejected, and Gold accepts them all, so discrimination is not available in Gold mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGround balance is manual: hold the ground balance button and pump the coil above the ground, and redo it when the soil changes. The X5 also has a pinpoint button, adjustable sensitivity, a depth indicator, a backlight and a flashlight on the 60 x 45 mm LCD control box. Wired headphones plug in through the included USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter. The built-in 1000 mAh Li-Po battery charges over USB-C and takes about 4 hours to charge fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Quest-x5-control-box.jpg?v=1786636839\" alt=\"Quest X5 IDMAXX control box showing the backlit LCD Target ID display and touch keypad\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSettings that matter on the Quest X5 IDMAXX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe compact coil:\u003c\/strong\u003e in an older park where coins sit close to nails and aluminum trash, a compact coil makes it easier to check one response at a time. It also gets in around rocks, roots and other obstacles. A compact coil does not eliminate target masking, though; a coin right next to a nail can still hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eField, Gold and Park programs:\u003c\/strong\u003e we like that you can pick a program to suit the location. Gold mode accepts every target ID with no discrimination, which suits prospecting, but it does not mean the X5 can identify natural gold. Gold can respond much like other non-ferrous metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e the X5 shows a numerical target ID from 1 to 99 on every signal. Picture a buried object in a park: the number gives you more to go on, but we encourage you to learn the audio responses too rather than relying on the display alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWet conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quest rates the X5 as waterproof to 3 m (10 ft), which gives you room to work rain, wet grass, creek edges and shallow water. Check that your headphones are made for underwater use before you submerge the detector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne mistake to avoid with the Quest X5 IDMAXX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreating it as a multi-frequency or specialist gold detector. The X5 is a single frequency 12 kHz detector, not simultaneous multi-frequency, and its Gold program does not turn it into a pulse induction gold machine.
