Classic X-Terra VLF platform — coil-swap single frequencies
The Minelab X-Terra Pro is the classic coil-swap X-Terra VLF platform for hunters who tune by changing coils and frequencies rather than multi-frequency software. It remains popular for targeted coin, relic, and gold hunts with proven Minelab ground handling. Minelab designed it for experienced VLF users and hunters who want one base unit with multiple coil strategies. Old home sites, gold washes, and coin-heavy lawns reward the right coil choice on an X-Terra Pro.
