Quest X5 IDMAXX Waterproof Metal Detector
The Quest X5 IDMAXX Metal Detector packs fast, readable target identification into a 2.4 lb machine that folds down small enough for a daypack. Built on Quest's CVX Compact VLF platform, the X5 runs a single 12 kHz frequency, reports every target on a clear 1 to 99 ID scale, and swings the waterproof Blade9 Turbo D search coil.
The whole detector is waterproof to 10 ft (3 m), the internal battery runs up to 30 hours per charge, and a built-in backlight, flashlight, and handle vibration keep it hunting after the sun goes down. For the price of an entry-level pinpointer, the X5 delivers full-featured, professional-grade detection performance.
What's in the Box. Quest X5 IDMAXX control box with handle: 3 LCD (60 x 45 mm) with backlight, built-in speaker, flashlight, and touch keypad. Blade9 search coil: 9" x 5" waterproof Turbo D coil with coil cover. Shaft set: 4-section non-rotational telescopic rods adjusting from 18" to 51" (45 to 130 cm). Armrest set: U-shape robust armrest with tool-free adjustment. USB-C charging cable and USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter. Three search modes: Park and Field factory presets tuned for coins and open ground, plus Gold mode with zero discrimination for prospecting and relic surveys. 1-99 Target ID: High and middle tones by conductivity let you distinguish pull tabs from silver coins before looking down. Segment-based discrimination: Accept or reject individual target ID segments to eliminate unwanted trash; settings are saved when powered off. Manual ground balance: Hold the ground balance button and pump the coil to stabilize performance in mineralized dirt, hot rocks, and salt sand. Frequency shift: Eliminate interference from power lines and nearby detectors during group hunts and organized digs. Non-motion pinpointing: Pinpoint button isolates target locations precisely in the hole while displaying target depth. Waterproof to 10 ft (3 m): Fully submersible for hunting in rain, wet grass, creek edges, and shallow surf. Long battery life: Built-in 1000 mAh Li-Po battery delivers up to 30 hours of runtime and recharges in about 4 hours via USB-C. Low-light & silent hunting: Display backlight, built-in flashlight, and switchable handle vibration for early morning, night, or underwater detecting. Versatile audio options: Built-in speaker with volume control, USB-C wired headphones, or standard 3.5 mm headphones via adapter. Ultra-compact design: Retract the lower rod and rotate the coil flat against the shaft for compact storage and travel. Lightweight build: Weighs just 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg), making it ideal for long detecting sessions and young treasure hunters.
