Description
The first beach hunt with a new detector usually ends the same way: the machine finds a target under wet sand, and you dig it with your hands because the scoop, the pouch, the gloves, and the digger were all "next month" purchases. The Minelab X-Terra Pro Beach Bundle (Minelab part 3707-1018) ends that. Minelab packs the fully waterproof X-Terra Pro, the Adventure Pack, and a stainless-steel sand scoop into one factory bundle, so the day the box opens you can detect, recover, and carry the finds home.
At a glance
Factory Minelab bundle 3707-1018: the X-Terra Pro waterproof metal detector (IP68, submersible to 16 ft / 5 m, Pro-Switch selectable frequency, V12X 12 x 9 in / 30 x 23 cm Double-D coil) plus the Minelab Adventure Pack (gloves, digging tool, finds pouch) and a Minelab stainless-steel sand scoop. Detector weighs 2.9 lb / 1.3 kg. No headphones are included. 3-year Minelab warranty on the detector.
Why the Beach Bundle and not the bare X-Terra Pro
The stock X-Terra Pro is the same detector, and if your tool belt is already full it is the right buy. The Beach Bundle is for the hunter who owns nothing yet. Minelab prices the bundle so the recovery kit rides along for less than buying the three pieces separately, and every piece is Minelab-built and Minelab-branded: no generic digger, no no-name pouch stapled in by a dealer. Beach and shallow-water hunting is exactly where the X-Terra Pro shines, because the whole machine submerges to 16 ft / 5 m, not just the coil, and a sand scoop is the one tool a beach hunter cannot improvise. This is the complete first-beach-trip kit at the entry price.
The step up is the X-Terra Elite, Minelab's Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency machine in the same body. On wet salt sand and mineralized ground Multi-IQ holds stable where a single frequency has to back off sensitivity. If your beaches are salt and you plan to hunt the wet slope, read the Pro vs Elite comparison before choosing. For dry sand, freshwater, parks, and fields, the Pro's Pro-Switch frequencies (5, 10, 15 kHz on land; 8 kHz Beach mode) are plenty, and the money you save buys the recovery gear in this box.
A beach detector, not a beach-tolerant one
Plenty of entry-level machines "handle" the beach until wet sand starts chattering. The X-Terra Pro has a dedicated Beach mode running 8 kHz, its own noise cancel across 19 channels, and a fully sealed body, so the pod goes in the wash with you instead of riding in a dry bag. The stainless-steel scoop and the finds pouch are the other half of that promise: a target you cannot recover from wet sand is a target you did not find. That is the whole reason Minelab built this as a beach bundle and not just a detector in a box.

Specifications and what they mean on the beach
| Fully waterproof, IP68 to 16 ft / 5 m | Control box included, not just the coil. Wade the wet slope, the tide pools, and the creek mouth without babysitting the pod. |
| Pro-Switch selectable frequency: 5, 10, 15 kHz (Park, Field); 8 kHz (Beach) | Pick one frequency at a time for your ground. Beach mode's 8 kHz is tuned for coins and jewelry in sand. |
| V12X 12 x 9 in / 30 x 23 cm Double-D coil with skid plate | Coverage and depth for open beach; the skid plate takes the sand abrasion instead of the coil. |
| 119 Target ID segments; 30 discrimination segments | Ferrous -19 to 0, non-ferrous 1 to 99: bottle caps read differently from rings. |
| Minelab Adventure Pack | Gloves for shell and glass, a digging tool with sheath for hard-packed sand and turf, and a finds pouch that keeps trash and treasure apart. |
| Minelab stainless-steel sand scoop | Perforated stainless steel drains wet sand and shrugs off salt. Hand-scoop size for the towel line and shallow water. |
| 2.9 lb / 1.3 kg; collapses to 25 in / 63 cm, extends to 54 in / 138 cm | Light enough for a full tide cycle; short enough for the trunk. |
| Rechargeable Li-ion 3.7 V / 5100 mAh, USB charge | Charges from the included cable; software updates ride the same cable. |
| Flashlight, red backlit display and keypad, handle vibration | Dawn low tide and dusk hunts stay readable and quiet. |
| 3-year Minelab warranty | Detector control box and coil, backed by an authorized dealer. |

Which Minelab beach bundle is right for you?
This bundle is the entry pick: single-frequency X-Terra Pro plus the recovery kit. Salt-beach hunters who want Multi-IQ, a second coil, and wireless headphones should look at the X-Terra Elite Expedition Pack, which pairs with the same Adventure Pack and sand scoop in Minelab's Elite Beach Bundle. Same shaft, same coils, same Minelab recovery tools; the difference is the engine inside the pod.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real Minelab bundle or a dealer kit?
A factory Minelab bundle with its own Minelab part number, 3707-1018. Minelab packs it and sets the price. The detector, the Adventure Pack, and the sand scoop are all genuine Minelab products.
Does the X-Terra Pro Beach Bundle include headphones?
No. Neither the X-Terra Pro nor this bundle ships with headphones. The detector has a speaker, a wired 3.5 mm socket, and wireless audio for Minelab low-latency headphones such as the ML 85. Minelab's Elite Expedition Pack is the X-Terra package that includes wireless headphones.
What is in the Minelab Adventure Pack?
Minelab's recovery accessory kit, part 3011-0497: detecting gloves, a digging tool with sheath, and a finds pouch.
Is the sand scoop stainless steel?
Yes. Minelab's sand scoop (part 3011-0546) is perforated stainless steel with a rubber grip handle, sized for hand use in dry sand, wet sand, and shallow water.
Is the X-Terra Pro fully waterproof?
Yes. The whole detector, control box included, is IP68 rated and submersible to 16 ft / 5 m. Wireless headphones do not work underwater; submerged hunting uses wired waterproof headphones.
X-Terra Pro Beach Bundle or X-Terra Elite Expedition Pack Beach Bundle: which one do I need?
Buy this one for dry sand, freshwater, parks, and fields on an entry budget. Buy the Elite Expedition Pack for salt beaches and mineralized ground, where Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency keeps its depth on wet salt sand; it also adds the V8X second coil and ML 85 wireless headphones. Body, shaft, coils, and accessories are shared between the two.
Can the X-Terra Pro Beach Bundle find gold?
Gold jewelry, yes: rings, chains, and earrings are the gold most beach hunters actually find, and the X-Terra Pro's Beach mode plus the sand scoop in this bundle are built for exactly that recovery. It has no dedicated gold prospecting mode, so natural nuggets in mineralized goldfields call for a different Minelab: the Equinox 900 with its Gold mode, or the dedicated Gold Monster 2000.
Does this bundle qualify for a military discount?
Yes. Minelab offers a 15% military discount on Minelab detectors (accessories excluded). Contact us directly at 256-284-2247 for details. It cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.
