Beach Metal Detecting With The X-Terra Pro & X-Terra Elite

Рет қаралды 9,853

Ай бұрын

We both scored while BEACH METAL DETECTING with the X-TERRA PRO & X-TERRA ELITE metal detectors. Does the Elite outperform the Pro? Is the Multi-IQ upgrade enough to ditch the Pro?
In our opinion, Multi-IQ is going to be a better way to detect than single frequency... but both detectors do a good job. We always recommend doing the detector research based on the type of terrain you will be detecting and getting the best detector you can afford. The Pro is a great starter machine for under $300 and the Elite is a good option if the Equinox or Manticore is out of the budget! One plus about the Elite is the Expedition package gets you both coils and the headphones. Both are waterproof so either will be good if you are looking for that feature!

HI Guys, I am on my computer this evening, so I am able to comment on todays show. It was good, and I have an X-Terra Pro that I bought for my wife which she doesn't care for, so it sits because I use my Equinox 900 and have my 800 to back it up. The X-Terra Elite shows to be much better Than the Pro. you guys did a great job comparing the two. Keep up the good work.

@christinethestringbean 22 күн бұрын

Thanks Caesar. I'm sorry that your wife doesn't really care for the X-Terra Pro... The machine isn't that bad. Hopefully, she'll give it another go. The learning curve for metal detecting is pretty intense.

@stevewaters2974 28 күн бұрын

Well I really enjoyed the matchup between the pro and the elite today. I also have both machines and notice the vdi is much more stable on the elite but Penny's in particular come up as a very different number on the elite for some reason. I found three pennies today that came up a 28. That's crazy. On the pro they are a 60. The pro is a slam bargain for what it can do for the price and the elite just does it all better. Nice hunt!

The X-Terra Pro beach mode says it is 8hz but based of testing it is multi frequency and 8 hz isn’t one of them. Single frequency’s don’t perform well in the wet saltwater beach sand. A little afraid of the new update as it may take the multi away. Fun hunt and the elite performance was nice. 👋😁 I think that’s what the 925 means😂

Great hunt. The Xterra Elite will always be more stable because of the Multi-IQ (multiple frequencies at once). It would be really interesting to do a comparison of the Elite vs. Bill's Equinox 800. The Nox would have the advantage on small gold, like small chains, because it has a higher frequency. On silver and coins the might be the same?

@peterbicker8389 29 күн бұрын

The Elite might have the advantage over the Equinox 600 or 800. Remember the Equinox 600 and 800 are 10 year old machines. They have much slower processors then todays machines.

Another great video :) i just ordered myself the nokta dubble score. What's your opinion on nokta? Since the elite cost 700$ for me so spent 450$ on the nokta. Yep i know strange prices here in Europe

@digginggopher 28 күн бұрын

The double score is a good machine (from what I seen on KZfaq I don't own a double score) Does it have single frequency or is it just multifrequency only?? I own the legend and I love it, very good machine, especially in Canada with our steel core change because you can use 40khz, I think euros and euro cents are steel core too Have fun with your double score, I'm a fan of Nokta, before I had the legend I had the Simple Plus, when I got the legend I gave the Simplex Plus to a kid my mom knows, he was very happy, he had a lousy metal detector before that actually broke, now he has a good Nokta simplex plus, it's an unbreakable machine
