Minelab X-Terra Intrepid

X-Terra Intrepid is Minelab's plain-spoken starter detector — a large numeric target-ID display, five sensitivity levels, and a 10-inch coil waterproof to a meter, built to get a first-timer detecting confidently on day one.

Intrepid is the basic model in the X-Terra range, built for someone who's never held a detector and wants to understand what it's telling them straight away. The large target-ID display puts a number on the screen before you dig, rather than asking you to interpret a tone alone.

Five sensitivity levels let you tune response as ground conditions change, and the 10-inch coil is waterproof to a meter, useful near shallow water without turning the machine into a swimming tool. A Pinpoint mode narrows down where exactly a target sits, so first-time digging goes faster and leaves a smaller hole.

Key Features

• Large target ID

  A 0–99 numeric scale gives more detail than a simple tone, useful while you're still learning to read signals.

• 10-inch waterproof coil

  A standard wired coil suited to clean ground and picking out a single target precisely.

• Pinpoint mode

  Narrows down the target's exact position so first digs go faster and leave a smaller hole.

• 3 volume levels

  Enough range to hear clearly without the audio overwhelming a quiet garden.

• Two search modes

  All Metal and Non-Ferrous cover the two situations a beginner is most likely to face.

• Light, compact design

  At 1.2 kg and folded to 72 cm, it's easy for a first-timer to carry and store.

• 5-level depth indicator

  Provides a rough depth estimate so you know roughly how deep to dig before starting.

• Automatic interference cancellation

  Automatically reduces electrical noise from power lines and similar sources so the signal stays steadier.

• Full one-year warranty

  Backed by Minelab's standard 12-month warranty.
