Minelab X-TERRA 305

The X-TERRA 305 was the entry point into the range and one of the better first detectors of its generation. It gave you the VFLEX platform, proper multi-tone audio and a genuine target ID at a price that competed with far cruder machines, and the build quality was the same as the models above it. Plenty of people bought a 305, learned on it, and only moved up years later. The current equivalent is the X-TERRA Pro.
