MINELAB X TERRA 50 TESTS Comments Good average detector, just make sure you use it with a 10.5 coil on it. The idea of having a choice 3 different frequency coils to use for different reasons was probably a good move profit wise, for Minelab But if you had all the collection of coils and took all the stickers off you would never know which was which! I have seen people walking around a field with several different coils, and every time there want to find something different they would change coils. You can see what difference frequencies make in the tests below, none! Not many about because every one seemed to buy the top of the range X-Terra 70, same goes for the 705 and 505 Test results are the same as the 705! The only difference is the standard coil I also found the 70 was better at coke ID than the 705 Pros Good average detector, just make sure you use it with a 10.5 coil on it. Cons None really Bit out of date now but will still do the job |

DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |
