Mega Detection Infinity Max Pro Buyer Guide: 12 Systems Explained
The Mega Detection Infinity Max Pro is the brand's flagship all-in-one platform: according to the manufacturer, this Infinity Max Pro detector offers 12 search systems delivered through a 3D ground-scanner probe, a long-range transceiver, a vertical signal transceiver, three pulse-induction coils and an Android tablet with a visual-analysis app. It is aimed at experienced prospectors and treasure hunters who want ground imaging, survey and coil detection in one kit, and who are prepared for the learning curve that comes with it.
This buyer guide explains how the 12 systems are organized around the hardware in the box, who the Infinity Max Pro realistically suits, and what to weigh before committing to a platform this size. All specifications are attributed to Mega Detection.

The Infinity Max Pro detector's 12 systems, explained by sensor
Mega Detection's product information states that there are 12 search systems but does not list every one by name in the material we have. The most useful way to understand them is by the four sensor families in the box, since each system runs through one of them. Your user manual is the definitive reference for each mode's name and settings.
| Sensor (manufacturer name) | What Mega Detection says it does | Where it fits in a search |
|---|---|---|
| M.G.S.60 Multi Ground Scanner | Conducts 3D scans with multiple built-in sensors to map underground structures | Imaging a defined area to look for anomalies and cavities |
| IMTU (Intelligent Multi Transceiver Unit) | Sends high-frequency electromagnetic waves and converts reflected signals into digital data | Long-range survey stage to choose an area |
| VST (Vertical High Signal Transceiver) | Picks up magnetic fields from metals and uses LED indicators to suggest the nature of the target | Narrowing in on a spot and characterizing a signal |
| PS50, PS36, PS28 PI coils | Pulse-induction search coils for precise locating | Conventional coil detection and pinpointing |
| Android tablet + Multi Visual Analyzer | Displays detailed 2D and 3D target representations | Reviewing and interpreting scan data |
Seen this way, the Infinity Max Pro is effectively several instruments sharing one control unit: a ground scanner, a long-range locator, a vertical transceiver and a PI detector with three coil sizes.
A note on the long-range and transceiver stages
Long-range locating is the most debated category in the hobby. Independent, controlled evidence that handheld devices can detect specific metals at a distance is limited, and results vary widely between users and sites. The IMTU stage is best used to decide where to scan or sweep next. The M.G.S.60 imaging and PI coil stages are where you confirm.
Who the Infinity Max Pro suits
- Experienced operators who already understand coil detectors and want to add imaging and survey tools without buying separate machines.
- Searchers working varied projects: cavities one week, deeper metal targets the next, small gold on another trip.
- Users comfortable with software who will spend time reviewing scans on the tablet.
- Teams on larger sites where one person surveys while another confirms with a coil.
Who should consider a smaller system
- First-time buyers. Twelve systems and four sensor families is a steep starting point.
- Single-purpose hunters. If you only want imaging, a dedicated scanner is simpler; if you only want nuggets, a dedicated gold detector is the proven route.
- Buyers motivated by a depth figure. Real depth depends on target size, soil, moisture, interference and technique.
Infinity Max Pro vs other Mega Detection platforms
| Model | Manufacturer-stated systems | Key hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Infinity Max Pro | 12 | M.G.S.60, IMTU, VST, three PI coils, Android tablet |
| Gold Star 3D Scanner | 8 | IMTU, VST, M.G.S.60, Android tablet, external battery |
| Viper | 6 | IMTU, three PI coils |
| Concord | 5 | IMTU, three PI coils |
| Phoenix | 3 | M.G.S and V.S.T probes |
The Infinity Max Pro is the only one in this list that combines the M.G.S.60 imaging probe, the VST and the three PI coils in one kit.

Planning your first sessions
- Learn one sensor at a time. Start with the PI coils, which behave like a conventional detector, then add the imaging probe, then the transceiver stages.
- Build a test plot. Bury known items at measured depths on your own land and scan them with each sensor. Record how each appears.
- Grid your scans. Mark lines with string or flags and keep a constant pace and probe height for imaging.
- Repeat from another direction. Genuine anomalies should persist; noise tends to shift or vanish.
- Confirm before digging. Check any imaging or transceiver indication with the PI coils.
- Keep a log. Note mode, settings, soil and weather for every scan.
Cavity work deserves its own practice. Our guide to cavity and void detection explains why voids are harder to confirm than metal and how to reduce false readings. For a broader view of who uses imaging equipment and why, see who uses 3D ground scanners.
Field logistics for a multi-sensor kit
A platform with four sensor families, three coils and a tablet is more equipment to carry, charge and protect than a single detector. Plan for it before your first trip:
- Charging: you will be powering the main unit and the Android tablet. Bring a vehicle charger or power bank for multi-day trips and charge everything the night before.
- Packing: decide which sensors you need for each outing. A cavity survey may need only the M.G.S.60 and the tablet; a nugget trip may need only the PI coils.
- Protection: keep probes and the tablet in padded cases, and protect connectors from dust and moisture.
- Data: back up scan files from the tablet after each session so you can compare sites over time.
Thinking through logistics up front makes the difference between a kit that gets used and one that stays in the closet.
Purchase considerations
The Infinity Max Pro dispatches from the manufacturer in 7–12 business days via DHL Express, tracked. Warranty coverage varies by model, so ask us for the exact term before ordering. Because this is a high-value platform, we encourage a call before purchase to confirm it matches your targets, terrain and experience level. Always search with permission and check federal, state and local rules before digging.
