I have been looking at that machine for an entry level pice of equipment for the beach in Florida. I located utilities for a number of years and there doesn’t seem to be that much of a difference once you understand what your machine is telling you. One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thanks.

Thank you so much, you have some great beaches in Florida, I am sure this will be a great starting point. Enjoy and happy hunting.

Wow that's a fast walker for sure and I bet ALOT of the targets were missed walking that fast but I swing fast but I walk very slowly and let the detector tell me that it's found a target....

@treasure_hunters Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, please do not walk as fast as me in this video, you will miss a stack! I was just testing machine with my own targets, I was not hunting the beach.

Felt exactly the same thing and he never tweaked the machine on any of those little "blips" that dont register a number. I can tell you from personal experience with the Xterra Pro that those little blips are ACTUALLY OBJECTS and when you find one you zero in on it with the settings and you can pull solid numbers on the smallest deepest targets. No brainer of a machine. If you havent bought it already... do it. He isnt using a fraction of its capability in this video. And swinging too fast with super high sensitivity and complaining about jumpy numbers...

Not tweaking the settings and leaving it at high sensitivity is why your signals are jumping. I can tell you it pulls stable signals through 1 foot of ROCK at like 15 sensitivity. Simply put you had it too high and didnt mess with the recovery or frequency. Another note... just because youre at the beach doesnt mean you have to use beach mode. It is stable in all of them and if you set it for dense soil you will find SUPER DEEP stuff in something like sand.

Me parece una máquina capada, a propósito por Minelab. Lo único que me echa para atrás para comprarlo es la frecuencia de 8 khz playa. No he visto ningún test con anillo de oro en modo playa. Para mi idea Minelab nos ha suprimido el oro en modo playa para no pisar a Equinox. Para campo puede servir o para buscar monedas en la playa 👍🏻

@SandBoy408 9 ай бұрын

Non é questione di "sopprimere". Il multifrequenza ha una naturale propensione ad eliminare il segnale conduttivo del sale. Il mono-frequnza invece no. Per questo hanno optato per una frequenza 'media", dal momento che le alte frequenze litigano col sale.

@neilgutteridge6405 4 ай бұрын

It's great on rings at the beach at good depths.......and even on extremely small low conductive items.This machine will have no problems at all pulling rings from the wet sand.I know because I own one.

Hi again. After watching this video I might reconsider this. What would you consider as good or better for detection quality in the same price range? (Waterproof & Submersible) You do great videos, I watched the demo on the user features before this one. Thanks from the USA.

@treasure_hunters 11 ай бұрын

Thanks, I just replied to your comment on my other video too. I am looking forward to testing the Quest Q35, I think it will rival this machine. Watch out for more videos with reviews of the Q35 and then I would like to do a comparison at the beach between the two machines. Similar price point, both have selectable frequencies, both waterproof - performance at the beach I will test.

In my opinion, a MD that doesn´t eliminate bottlecaps has no chances on the beach today. And 8khz will let you miss tiny gold stuff. Good for beginners...and that´s all. Nothing more.

I guess you are looking for machine that also digs targets for you? FYI - I’ve been doing this for a long time and a MD that can successfully eliminate ALL bottle caps does not exist.

@SandBoy408 6 ай бұрын

@@kromedge Successfully? You need to make a rain`s dance with the edges of the coil to try to spot a bottlecap, expecially on depth, with poor results on infested site. With MF machines you have iron bias that eliminates them without dancing, and without notching anything. The manticore it simply ignores the most part of them even with no iron bias enabled. What are we talking about?

@@neilgutteridge6405 I own an X-Terra Pro (along with several other detectors) and it’s a decent machine. I’ve used it in parks in Ontario Canada as well as parks and beaches in Southern California. It has performed better in every scenario than I ever expected it to. For the price, you’d be hard pressed to find a better “all around” detector anywhere. Sure - the VDI numbers can be a little jumpy at first but once you thoroughly learn and customize this machine, they seem don’t seem to be an issue anymore. Right now, I wouldn’t have any issue making this my go-to machine.
