{"product_id":"quest-x10-idmaxx-metal-detector","title":"Quest X10 IDmaxX Metal Detector","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt Serious Detecting, we highly recommend the Quest X10 IDmaxX for its fast, readable target information and genuinely lightweight build, making it a standout choice for detectorists who want a capable machine without a four-figure price tag. Designed for hunters who value quick decisions over endless menus, the X10 runs a single 12 kHz frequency on Quest's CVX Compact VLF platform and reports every target on a 1 to 99 ID scale you can learn in an afternoon. If you are just launching your journey, exploring our comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/pages\/getting-started-metal-detecting-guide\"\u003egetting started metal detecting guide\u003c\/a\u003e will help you get the most from this platform in your first season. This configuration ships without headphones, which keeps the price down and leaves the choice to you: hunt on the built-in speaker, plug in your own wired pair using the included USB Type-C to 3.5 mm adapter, or add Quest WireFree Lite or Pro headphones whenever you are ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the Quest X10 IDmaxX Metal Detector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuest X10 IDmaxX control box with backlit LCD and built-in speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsible Super3D aluminum rod set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest with elbow band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade11 eleven-inch by ten-inch waterproof Double-D search coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB Type-C charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB Type-C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphones are not included with this configuration and are available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eIDmaxX Performance Across Parks, Fields, and Gold Ground\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eParks and Lawns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePark mode arrives tuned for coin hunting, discriminating out target IDs below 40 at a factory sensitivity of 60, which puts copper and silver currency front and center while the iron and low-conductivity trash stays quiet. The 1 to 99 target ID reads out as a large two-digit number backed by a ten-block ID arc, so you can register a signal at a glance without stopping your swing. Discrimination is adjustable across the full 1 to 99 range, and the gear button lets you add or eliminate individual metal IDs, which is how you silence the one bottle cap value that keeps fooling you at a particular site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eFields and Open Ground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField mode drops discrimination to reject IDs below 20 and runs a faster recovery speed, so the coil resets quickly between targets and small objects stop hiding behind bigger ones. It is the right mode for open pasture and cultivated ground where interference is low and you want the machine reaching for everything. The Blade11 coil covers more ground per swing than the smaller Blade9, and the optional Blade9 can be swapped in when a site turns tight and trashy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eGold and Mineralized Ground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold mode runs with no discrimination at all and adds an adjustable audio threshold, that constant background hum experienced prospectors listen through to catch the faint break that means a small or deep target. Press and hold the ground balance button and pump the coil to balance out mineralization, and drop sensitivity when hot ground or a salt beach starts producing false positives. Quest notes that adjusting sensitivity to suit the interference does not significantly reduce detection depth, so running the machine quiet is usually the faster route to finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/X10_IDmaxX_inline_01.jpg?v=1786134750\" alt=\"Quest X10 IDmaxX metal detector with orange control box, collapsible Super3D aluminum shaft, armrest, and Blade11 waterproof Double-D search coil\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Fast Setup, Long Sessions, and Your Choice of Audio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree ways to listen without buying anything you do not want: the built-in speaker works out of the box, the included USB Type-C to 3.5 mm adapter accepts any wired headphones you already own, and Quest WireFree Lite, WireFree Pro, or Underwater headphones pair later from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/collections\/headphones\"\u003emetal detector headphones\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix selectable tone profiles match how you like to hunt: C1 gives a single tone for all signals, C2 through C5 progressively split iron from non-ferrous across two, three, four, and five tone groups, and C6 produces a linear tone that rises with signal intensity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency shift beats detector-to-detector interference: hold the ground balance button and tap the volume buttons to nudge the operating frequency off a nearby machine or a noisy power line, which matters on club hunts and organized digs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsible Super3D shaft travels easily: the rod set folds down small enough for a daypack or car trunk, so the X10 comes along on trips where a full-size detector stays home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharges from anything with a USB-C port: the internal 1000 mAh lithium-polymer battery reaches full charge in roughly four hours from a wall charger, a power bank, a solar charger, or a car adapter, with no disposable batteries to buy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration and lighting extend where and when you hunt: switchable handle vibration confirms targets when the wind is up, and the display backlight plus built-in flashlight keep you working after sunset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof to 10 feet: the control box and Blade11 coil are sealed for rain, wet grass, creek edges, and shallow water, so weather stops being a reason to stay home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eCompare within the Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X10 IDmaxX sits at the top of Quest's X Series, adding the larger Blade11 coil and a savable Users mode over the X5, while the entry-level X1 IDmaxX is still on the way.
