Good buy Austin! I’ve owned the Equinox 700 for three weeks now, great machine. I’m thinking seriously on buying the Exterra for a backup just because of being waterproof. The VDI’S are the same as the NOX 700 so far 88-90 Quarter 81-83 dime 60-65 zinc penny 68-76 copper penny 78 usually a wheat penny. 25-28 nickel 29-39 pull tabs & 40-50 almost always a ring pull with beaver tail. Silver rings are also in the high 40’s to 50. 14K rings 10-16. Sorry about the long comment.

Cool..buying one now

Just picked one up. Feels light, well balanced. Seems quality built. Interface is pretty user friendly. A bit more so than Simplex. Being able to adjust handle position is great. Took out for a quick swing. Hit on point for test targets. Happy do far.

Thanks for a straightforward video. I just ordered one. Been a while since I bought a new machine will be fun for the beach this summer!

Thanks for your content. Seems to a lot better than the Simplex on the beach. May have to be my next machine.

It’s actually Great ! My 600 leaked and I bought this for a backup machine it absolutely performs in the salt water as good as the Equinox does

Great video showing the XT pro I've been looking at him to buy one for a long time now

the out of round shaft is a huge improvement

If I was on a strict budget, new to the hobby, and wanting to hunt in the water at saltwater beaches I would choose it over the simplex, AT Max, and the other Minelab machine that isn't water proof that you use. But if I wanted a detector that could keep up with the expensive top of the line multi-frequency but didn't want to fork out close to a grand I would stick with the Nokta Legend. Deus II is my dream machine though just because it looks to be the lightest and best performer on the beach.

@michaelpacnw2419

My thoughts exactly... I run a Legend (which I love) but am thinking about picking one of these up to have a backup machine and to have an extra incase I want to bring a non-detecting friend along. I'm not in a hurry though.. I'll give it a couple months for guys to dig in to it and make sure it's as good as I think it might be.

Hey I really need some help. I’m looking to get my first detector. I’m stuck between the nokta findx pro, simplex lite, and the xterra pro. I’m trying to stay under $300. They’re all waterproof and seem pretty similar in features. What would you recommend? If you have any other recommendations under $300 new would be great. Thank you in advance! Love the channel dude!!

Is it still going strong? I live on the beach and am considering this detector as my first metal detector buy

Love this machine

Looks like a decent machine!

I just ordered me one

Been looking at allot of different metal detectors as I want to get into the hobby and never had one before I think I’m going to buy the Minelab xterra pro as it’s affordable it’s waterproof as it rains allot in England and seems good I would like a nox but I don’t really want to pay £600/£900 straight away so think I will be getting this detector unless anyone else has any other better recommendations at roughly the same price will appreciate any advice as I’ve got allot to learn

The beach is the easiest spot to look. Best test is mineralized ground. I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on this.

Previously had the MineLab CTX3030. But it died shortly after the warranty expired. I then bought an X Terra Pro and sent it back after 2 days. Depth and small parts had not been convincing. Then I bought a Golden Mask 5+se and it works really well! Also had a Fisher Gold Bug, a Whites MX7 and a Nokta Makro Simplex+. The best was the CTX3030 and right behind it was the Golden Mask 5+se.

@TreasureOutdoors

Жыл бұрын

Never heard of the Golden Mask but sometimes those lesser known machines can be the best! I'm still trying to figure out the X-Terra but I bet it can't compete with the CTX. 👍

Live videos of the X-Terra Pro show coins reading as iron in all frequencies, air tests from other videos show its limitations of depth are approximately 11 to 12 inches even with the 12 inch coil, but for people at the beach it's still a strong contender. Using old school Whites machines I found coins from the mid-1700s at no deeper than 9 to 10 inches, so target range depth is not the most important issue for me as a Nokta Simplex and Qwest Q10 Pro user, it's that casino slot machine sound of the Minelab and serious processing delay!. Notice the sounds are heard only after the coil has passed over the target. What I love about the Nokta Simplex is the old school threshold that enables you to find the deepest targets. Nokta plans to update the frequency of the Simplex from 12 to 15 MHz which will totally destroy its depth making the Minelab the leader of the pack, so sad. Any thoughts?

@TreasureOutdoors

Жыл бұрын

It has its quirks... but it's pretty good for $269. I always think every machine has a little advantage in some department.. whether it's price to performance, stability.. options or just pure depth. I still like my Simplex, nice & simple.. hope they keep it that way. Will Nokta release an update for the current simplex or will the new frequency be on the newer version Simplex machines?

One thing I haven't seen addressed is the battery pack. According to a response I got from Minelab is that they do not offer a replacement battery pack for the X-terra Pro to anyone, even dealers. It would be covered under the 3 year warranty, but what are you suppose to do after the warranty is expired? I was ready to order one, but this has it on hold for a while and hope a replacement pack will be available in the near future. I tend to keep my detectors for a long time, like my first one from the 1960's (a BFO machine) that i still have. Great vid and look forward to seeing more from you!

People don't think much long term anymore but that is a good point. I just looked it up & it looks like it might use the same or similar battery as the Equinox 600 & 800. If that's the case there are some after market sellers of the batteries for around $30-36... so hopefully they fit the X-Terra. Looks like X-Terra has a 3.7V/5100mah battery in it, think it's in the handle.

Not the older models with the round battery, but the newer 600 and 800 models. Als found out you can run it while charging, that means you can have a battery bank in your pocket and run a cord long enough to the detector and keep going if you get caught with the detector running out before you do.😁
