Fully Waterproof
With an IP68 rating, this detector is built to handle water, dirt and dust with no compromise to performance. Fully submersible up to 5 m (16 ft), it’s engineered for versatility across submerged environments, wet terrain and unpredictable weather. Reliable detection continues uninterrupted in creeks, shorelines, rain-soaked ground and other demanding conditions.
Multi-IQ Technology
Why Multi-IQ? Because more performance shouldn’t mean more effort. Minelab’s proven simultaneous multiple frequency technology gives you the power of multiple detectors working for you at the same time. With Multi-IQ there's no switching frequencies, no second-guessing. Just turn it on and start finding. Coins, gold, jewellery. Parks, fields, beaches. No terrain's off-limits. No treasure left behind. All metals. All soils. All the time.
Search Modes
With Park, Field, Beach and a customisable User Profile, your detector is ready for any ground you explore. These modes let you adapt seamlessly to busy sites, wide fields or challenging shorelines, while the User Profile gives you quick access to your own preferred settings. Together, they deliver the versatility to hunt effectively in almost any environment.
Sensitivity and Discrimination
10 Sensitivity levels and 30 Discrimination Segments provide advanced control over how the detector responds to both ground conditions and metal targets.
Iron Bias
Three Iron Bias levels adjust how strongly the detector reduces signals from ferrous trash. This provides flexibility in challenging ground while keeping focus on valuable targets.
Volume and Target Tones
10 volume levels and three distinct target tones (Low, Mid and High) make it easier to distinguish between different targets. The extended volume range helps you adapt to your environment, while target tones provide clear audio cues to quickly identify signals worth digging. Enhance awareness in the field and improve target recognition.
