{"product":{"id":10941431873820,"title":"Quest X5 IDMAXX Metal Detector with 9\" x 5\" Blade9 Waterproof Coil","body_html":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eQuest X5 IDMAXX Metal Detector\u003c\/strong\u003e packs fast, readable target identification into a 2.4 lb machine that folds down small enough for a daypack. Built on Quest's \u003cstrong\u003eCVX Compact VLF platform\u003c\/strong\u003e, the X5 runs a single 12 kHz frequency, reports every target on a clear 1 to 99 ID scale, and swings the waterproof \u003cstrong\u003eBlade9 Turbo D search coil\u003c\/strong\u003e. The whole detector is waterproof to 10 ft (3 m), the internal battery runs up to 30 hours per charge, and a built-in backlight, flashlight, and handle vibration keep it hunting after the sun goes down. For the price of a mid-range pinpointer, the X5 is a complete, serious detector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the X5 Is the Smartest First Detector Money Can Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost entry-level detectors make you pay twice: once at the register, and again when you outgrow the toy-grade target ID and buy the machine you should have started with. The X5 skips that step. Its IDMAXX system pairs a large two-digit target ID with a segment bar across the top of the 3\" LCD, so a US quarter reads around 84 with the bar landing in the high-conductor zone, and you learn to call your targets before the shovel comes out. Discrimination works by accepting or rejecting individual ID segments, Park and Field arrive as smart factory presets, and Gold mode opens everything up for prospecting and all-metal surveys. Stable performance in mineralized dirt and beach salt comes from real ground balance and frequency shift, features that machines at this price usually leave off the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Quest-X5-folded.jpg?v=1786636839\" alt=\"Quest X5 IDmaxX metal detector
