How it differs from its neighbors
The X-Terra Pro matches it on paper, with the same IP68 to 16 ft (5 m), the same 2.9 lb and the same V12X coil. It has no Multi-IQ and switches among four fixed frequencies, with 8 kHz kept for Beach. Both read -19 to 99, 30 segments.
Like the Elite, the Equinox 700 runs several frequencies at once, in an IP68 body to 16 ft. It weighs 2.8 lb, with a -19 to 99 target ID on 119 segments and ML 85 wireless headphones in the box.
Minelab's Vanquish 540 lists 2.8 lb against 2.9 lb. Its waterproofing stops at the coil, rated to 1 m.
