Minelab X-TERRA SERIES 30, 50, & 70 The Minelab X-Terra Series of metal detectors are Minelab's newest entry to mid-level metal detectors. In keeping with the "High Technology" theme that is this company, X-Terra is no exception. Utilizing the VFLEX Technology, Minelab has created a new class of single frequency detectors. Light weight, easy to use, and high powered, two of these incredible detectors, are actually able to transmit and receive a different frequency with just the change of a coil. Microprocessors in both the coil and the Control Box allow both to communicate with each other. Depending on your intended target type and size, just pick your coil and frequency.

Default Xterra 50 pinpoint

just bought an xterra 50 a few weeks ago, i like it alot, seems like the pin point is a little off some times and other times right on the money, when it is off the object is about 2 or three inches away. I dig the hole, nothing there, i recheck, pin point says thats the spot, dig to the left or right ect. and there it is, recheck the hole for anything else nothing comes up. maybe i'm doing something wrong?

Hi everyone, when you go to the pinpoint mode you are disabling the ground balance function on the Xterra detectors. So I believe this could cause some misleading input to the detector. But all you do is back away then reaquire the target again then pinpoint again and this usually will get you on target. Ok happy hunting to you all. God Bless too.

I took the x50 out today and the pin point worked great except for one target was a little off to the side, seemed to change after pulling the plug out, then it was dead on. i read the posts on pin pointing , i've tried some of the stuff mentioned, there were a few things i read i haven't tried yet. Practice makes perfect. thanks for the info John/mlamp20412

Julie, gald to hear someone else has the same prob. makes me feel a little better.
