enemy iron.The only iron to slip through
the net was the large pieces,which I have
to say the majority of machines would
indicate as a good signal.
My good finds included: crotal bells,
bag seals, a lead token, some very nice
Victoria coins,musket balls,buckles,but-
tons, a jetton, a cartwheel penny, a
Ghana 2 shilling piece (I have no idea
how that found its way into the field),
and decimal coins.
The fact that the machine is easy to
understand and set up is a big plus for
the X-Terra. It’s not an over-complicated
machine with a lot of functions that are
not needed when all you want to do is go
and enjoy yourself without having to
have a degree in engineering to do so.
You don’t need to spend hours read-
ing a manual to have a lot of fun with this
detector. In fact,all you have to do is turn
it on and leave the rest to the
machine….it’s as simple as that.
The three audio tones combined with
the digital reading means you will dig
less junk unless, that is, you happen to
like digging up rubbish.
Another very good point about the X-
Terra 30 is its running costs.Using a set of
headphones with the machine will give
you approximately 25 hours use.Another
clever idea from Minelab is that when the
batteries are getting low and you are not
using headphones the speaker volume
will be reduced to save battery life so that
you can detect for longer.
Whether you are going to spend a
few hours detecting or you are into long
rally marathons,at the end of the day the
2.9lb (including batteries) that the
machine weighs will not be a problem.
It’s also a very well balanced machine,
which can be a great help when you are
detecting over uneven ground.
After having the machine now for
five weeks I can say with hand on heart
that the only fault I have found (if you
could even call it a fault) is that the arm
bracket stand needs to be wider. The
detector tends to topple over when you
put it down on ploughed ground,
although it’s fine on pasture.
