How it differs from its neighbors
The X-Terra Elite has the same published rating, weight and coil: IP68 to 16 ft, 2.9 lb and the same 12 x 9-inch V12X coil. It switches to Multi-IQ multi-frequency, with a single 15 kHz option in Park and Field.
The Pro and the Elite both show a target ID of -19 to 99 (30 segments). The Equinox 900 splits the same scale into 119 segments and offers Multi-IQ plus six single frequencies from 4 to 40 kHz. It weighs 2.8 lb.
The Vanquish 540 runs Multi-IQ too, but only its coil is waterproof, to 3.3 ft (1 m). In the surf, that is the difference: the X-Terra Pro's control box can go underwater, the Vanquish 540's cannot.

Questions about the X-Terra Pro
Answered from Minelab's tech specs page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
No. It runs one frequency at a time: 5, 10 or 15 kHz in Park and Field, 8 kHz in Beach. The X-Terra Elite is the Multi-IQ model with the same published specs.
Yes, control box included. The rating is IP68 to 16 ft (5 m), enough for wet sand, wading and the surf line.
Minelab does not publish a battery life for the X-Terra Pro. It lists a 3.7 V 5100 mAh internal lithium-ion battery.
