Imo i don't believe any company is going to kill another unless there is some New technology that's being used or the company decides there is no need for R&D or an improvement(Garrett). So far all Metal detectors operate the same way some better then others obviously. I love the Legend and am completely happy with it, but to be honest i was never impressed with the simplex+ not one time i tried to like it but i guess it's to be expected when i was already using the nox 800 and a AT pro before that. I still have it but it's been collecting dust for the past 2 1/2 years. In a nutshell the competition between companies is how we get better machine's. Look how fast and powerful the smart phone came from 10 years ago. 1st generation smartphones had more computing power and 100's of times faster then the computer's nasa used to put a man on the moon. I also like that the newer machine's are upgradable.

It’s currently $10 higher than the XTPro but from the current demonstrations by Calabash and Others in the MD Community it sure is obvious that the XTPro is superior and not by a little but by a lot and it appears to be superior to many sub $600 devices currently being marketed in the US and abroad.

@@calabashdiggeradventures …. I failed to take into consideration that different beaches will have different minerals. I’m hunting along the south Texas coast. Geography is a major factor in mineralization content. I’m not doubting your point about ground balance, I was merely making a suggestion based on my use of the machine in my region, not going down the proverbial rabbit hole as you put it. The machine has preset modes that you can’t fine turn as in higher end machines, but by setting ground balance in beach mode and then shifting to another mode that might be more suitable for the soil conditions you might achieve better results. I can assure you that my comment was not meant to insult your experience. Have a nice day Sir.

Good old simplex, chattering like a 90s ravers teeth on puckers, yet still some are convinced that machine is as good as multi-IQ on the wet sand... Great comparison even if the audio failed which is probably a good thing for the simplex.

Is it normal that VDI on X-Terra is so jumpy? You will have to dig every signal since you have no idea what is under the coil. Simplex performes even worse... In my opinion, both machines are not good for the beach.

My old AT Pro does better on the beach than the Simplex
@MrBottlecapBill Жыл бұрын
That's because the AT pro series are pretty dumbed down and insensitive to keep them running stable. A def man isn't bothered by loud noise either. That doesn't give him superior hearing. :) Trust me I ran an AT pro for years.........decent machines(if you run pro zero no disc) in urban areas because they do run pretty silent but you're missing deep targets while using one unless you grab some larger aftermarket coils. Awesome machines on modern iron coins if you're Canadian though. :)

Man that's gonna be hard for anyone to beat... I'd be curious to see if minelab releases a version with the multi iq in that price point. I've gotva vanquish coming for my wife but I really wish the control box was water proof. But I truly think minelab is setting the standard other manufacturers can say what they want about their business practices but until they step up there game and compete or out develop them minelab will continue to win and dominate the market.

Wholesale vs MSRP and Minelab’s left dealer no wiggle room for profit, if not an outright loss. A cheaper $199 Vanquish 340 qualifies for the discount.
