Stinger X5 (With 2 Coils)

A USA-engineered VLF ground detector for serious gold and treasure hunters, backed by two waterproof search coils for both depth and precision.

The Stinger X5 is a VLF (very low frequency) ground detector from Stinger Detectors, engineered for prospectors who need reliable performance across mineralized soil, wet ground, and trash-heavy sites. It runs three core detection modes — Discrimination, All Metal, and Pinpointer — so operators can match the search method to the target and terrain.

Automatic ground balancing pairs with a ZB filter and a dedicated Hot Rocks filter to suppress false signals from mineralized soil and non-metallic rocks that commonly trip up lower-end detectors. A numerical Target ID and an on-screen depth estimate in centimeters (All Metal mode) give operators a quick read on what's buried and roughly how deep, while the 4.3-inch TFT color display keeps the menu system accessible across eight languages.

This package includes two waterproof elliptical DD search coils — a 36 x 41cm coil for wide, deep coverage over open ground and a 26 x 32cm coil for tighter control in mineralized or debris-heavy areas — mounted on a 3-piece telescopic aluminum shaft built for long search sessions.

Key Features

• Three Detection Modes

  switches between Discrimination, All Metal, and Pinpointer modes to match the target and terrain.

• Automatic Ground Balance

  Automatically adjusts for wet and mineralized soils, letting operators begin scanning within minutes.

• ZB & Hot Rocks Filtering

  Filters out false readings caused by non-metallic hot rocks and mineralized ground, giving cleaner target information.

• Numerical Target ID with Depth Estimate

  Shows a numeric target identity along with an on-screen depth estimate in centimeters when All Metal mode is active.

• Two Waterproof Elliptical Coils

  A 36 x 41cm coil for wide, deep sweeps comes together with a 26 x 32cm coil for tight spaces, mineralized soil, or trash-filled ground.

• 4.3-Inch TFT Color Display

  Shows a graphical interface in 8 languages at 480 x 272 resolution, making menus simple to navigate.

• Fast-Charging Li-Ion Battery

  Gives about 5 hours of continuous searching on a charge and is quickly recharged with the supplied charger.
