The NEW X-TERRA Model 505
The X-TERRA 505 has also received similar treatment with some great new upgrades
making it a very efcient metal detector, plus a great new look.
The X-TERRA 505 has all of the features of the X-TERRA 305 plus more!
Now with the choice of three coil frequency options: Low 3kHz, Medium 7.5kHz and High
18.75kHz. A total of 7 accessory coils are available to suit the X-TERRA 505 giving it
terric and versatile range for a whole host of search options and conditions.
The X-TERRA 505 manual Ground Balance has been made more accurate. It now
increments from 0 – 50 allowing more accurate Ground Balancing and quieter detecting.
The X-TERRA 505 now has 3 x preset Discrimination Patterns (that the user can
customise) and an All Metal Mode with a shortcut button on the front panel (very quick and handy for checking
signals).
Like the X-TERRA 305, the X-TERRA 505 benets from a very useful Threshold feature ranging from -5 to 25.
(Benets of this feature are explained in more detail later in this Report).
There is an increase in Target ID resolution to 19 segments: 3 ferrous and 16 non-ferrous ranging from -9 to 48 in
steps of 3.
The X-TERRA 505 has an expanded Tone range over the X-TERRA 305. It now features 1 Tone, 2 Tones, 3
Tones, 4 Tones and Multi Tones options.
The X-TERRA 505 user can now select from 5 Noise Cancel settings.
Like the X-TERRA 305, the X-TERRA 505 Sensitivity ranges from 1 – 20.
A new, no-nonsense three year warranty.
The very useful pocket sized manual has a tear off eld guide to help users learn the new universal icons.
All settings are memorised when the unit is switched off, even when the batteries are removed or replaced.
(NB Check this with other manufacturers’ units – some have to be reset every time the batteries are replaced.)
Field tester’s comments on X-TERRA 505
“Great ferrous discrimination and good clear sharp
signals on non-ferrous. A small ‘pea size’ lead pistol ball
was dug from 8” with superb clarity of signal. Good and
quick to set GB and ran smoothly even at full sensitivity
of 20. Beach operation was good and a usable setting
over the wet stuff without any falsing at all was achieved
at Sens. 12. On farmland, we had terric stability and
reliable operation with this fantastic detector”.
