Lightweight X-Terra VLF — interchangeable frequency coils
The Minelab X-Terra Intrepid is a lightweight VLF detector with interchangeable frequency coils, letting you match the coil to the hunt instead of the machine doing everything at once. It is agile, simple, and well suited to focused single-frequency hunting. Minelab built it for hunters who prefer coil-swap flexibility and straightforward controls. Parks, gold districts with the right coil, and travel hunts where pack weight matters are Intrepid strengths.
