The X-Terra Pro with the Pro-Find 40 is the bundle we point at people buying their first serious detector: a waterproof, frequency-switchable machine plus the recovery tool that saves you from digging craters, in one order. The X-Terra Pro on its own is a detector you can grow into. Paired with a pinpointer from day one, it is a detector you can actually hunt with on day one.
Is This Bundle Right for You?
Take this bundle if you are starting out or replacing an aging machine and do not own a pinpointer yet. If you already have a pinpointer you trust, the X-Terra Pro on its own saves you the difference. And if your sites run to heavy iron or deep silver, it is worth reading up on the step to Equinox before deciding; ask us and we will give you a straight answer for your ground.
What the X-Terra Pro Does Well
- Switchable frequency at the press of a button: PRO-SWITCH runs 5, 8, 10, or 15 kHz, so you can favor large silver at low frequency or small gold and thin relics at high, and dodge interference in between.
- Truly waterproof, not splashproof: control pod and coil carry an IP68 rating to 5 m (16 ft). Creeks, surf wading, and rain are all in bounds.
- Beach Mode that means it: a dedicated mode for wet salt sand, the condition that makes most entry detectors fall apart.
- Light and packable: 2.9 lbs on a three piece shaft that collapses to 25 inches for a backpack, extending to 54 inches.
- Hunts after dark: control pod flashlight, red backlit display, backlit keypad, and handgrip vibration.
- Room to grow: ships with the V12X 12" x 9" Double-D coil and accepts V8X and V10X coils, plus all Equinox series coils.
Why the Pro-Find 40 Belongs in the Box
A detector tells you a target is down there. A pinpointer tells you exactly where in the hole it is. The Pro-Find 40 is Minelab's own handheld probe: sweep it in the plug and its audio and vibration response tightens as you close on the target, so you recover a coin from a golf-ball-sized divot instead of excavating a dinner plate. It ships with a holster and lanyard, and for a new detectorist it is the difference between three-minute recoveries and thirty-second ones. Lawns stay tidy, permissions stay open.

Why Buy from Serious Detecting
Serious Detecting is an authorized Minelab dealer, so both the detector and pinpointer are genuine US-warranty units, and our team hunts these machines, so setup questions get answers from field use rather than a manual. When you are ready to cut the cord, the ML 85 low latency wireless headphones pair directly with the X-Terra Pro, and our full Minelab lineup and metal detector range are there when you outgrow it. Free shipping, 30 day returns, and price match apply.
