Which X-TERRA ELITE Bundle Is Right for You?

Choose the $479 ELITE Bundle if you want the detector, its V12X coil, a Minelab Carry Bag and a Shell Pouch, and already have the digging tools and headphones you prefer.

Choose the $599 Expedition Pack Beach Bundle if you want the additional V8X coil, ML85 wireless headphones and Beach Bundle tools. The smaller coil gives you another option for working around obstacles and closely spaced targets.

Bart’s recommendation: If you need wireless headphones, a second coil and recovery tools, the $599 Expedition Pack Beach Bundle is the package I’d point you toward. If your accessories are already covered, the $479 ELITE Bundle keeps things simple.

Minelab X-TERRA ELITE Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the $479 and $599 bundles?

Both use the same X-TERRA ELITE detector and include the V12X coil, Minelab Carry Bag, and Shell Pouch with a regular-price purchase. The $599 Expedition Pack Beach Bundle adds the V8X coil, ML85 wireless headphones, Minelab gloves, digging tool, and stainless-steel sand scoop.

Can I save $60 if I do not need the Carry Bag?

Yes. Select the $539 Beach Bundle without Carry Bag or the $419 standard ELITE without Bag or Pouch. No coupon is needed. The $539 Beach Bundle keeps its factory Shell Pouch, both coils, ML85 headphones, gloves, digging tool and stainless-steel scoop. The $419 standard ELITE excludes both the Minelab Carry Bag and Shell Pouch. The military discount does not apply to these reduced-price options.

Does the Expedition Pack include a different detector?

No. The Expedition Pack adds equipment to the same X-TERRA ELITE detector. You get another coil, wireless headphones, and the listed Beach Bundle accessories.

Do I receive two bags or two pouches with the Expedition Pack?

No. The regular-price $599 bundle includes one Minelab Carry Bag and one Minelab Shell Pouch.

What changes when I use the military discount?

The $479 ELITE Bundle loses its Carry Bag and Shell Pouch. The $599 Expedition Pack Beach Bundle loses only its Carry Bag; the Shell Pouch and all other listed equipment remain included.

Does the X-TERRA ELITE work on saltwater beaches?

Yes. Multi-IQ and the Beach search profiles make it suitable for dry sand, wet salt sand, and shallow-water detecting. Adjust settings for the conditions at your hunting location.

Can I take the detector and headphones underwater?

The detector and supplied coils are waterproof to approximately 16 feet or 5 meters. The ML85 wireless headphones are not waterproof, and wireless audio does not work through water. Keep them dry and use suitable waterproof audio equipment or handle vibration for submerged detecting.

What is the difference between the X-TERRA ELITE and the X-TERRA PRO?

The ELITE runs Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency, so it handles mixed ground, salt beaches and trashy sites without you picking a frequency. The X-TERRA PRO is a single-frequency detector you switch between 5, 10 and 15 kHz, plus 8 kHz for the beach. The ELITE also adds Iron Bias control. Both share the same −19 to 99 Target ID scale, 16-foot waterproof rating, 2.9 lb weight and 3-year warranty. If you want the best all-around performance, choose the ELITE; if you are on a tighter budget, the PRO is a great value.

Can I make payments on the X-TERRA ELITE?

Yes. Shop Pay Installments is available at checkout, so you can split either bundle into payments.

What is your return policy?

Unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including items bought on sale. Contact Bart first to start a return. See our full return policy.
