I am really enjoying the positive reviews with the XTP on the beach. I am thinking of adding this as a strictly beach detector for overseas travel destinations. Its cheap (incase stolen at customs), breaks down easy and can be put together easy with no tools and telescopes down as well. Those are kind of my main 2 reasons, besides detecting ability. Question though, is it really bad at black sand beaches? I mean compared to the Nox, not just in general. I would like to use this on Treasure Coast, FL beaches but they can have some serious black sand when eroded down to the pay layers (Spanish Fleet silver and relics). Thoughts or has anyone tried yet?

If historically there is gold in the area found in that type of ore than maybe.

Nothing but an earring in about 5 total hours detecting, hmmm wonder why? 🤔….😂

Sorry it’s raining on you Gerry! Erin and I got back 2 weeks ago!

Oh i kinda like that one! Or SWINGN. It could be takin so many ways! 🤣🤣🤣

My 35 works too and I use it as a digging tool. 😂 But honestly it only comes out on large oversized targets or deep hole targets. The rest normally just get scrapped out and widdled down.

Well in the end…….I decided to not get one 😂😂

Holy Cow Frank! I didn’t realize you were dirtman. I’ll never forget that adventure with you! It was my second gold finds in AZ actually, I had found 1 piece first in Prescott. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes I am! I have also thought about KNOXROX 😂

Got a new car! Now need a new license plate. Obviously this is not going on my detecting vehicle but I think would be fun on my in-town car. Here are a few I came up with. Remember only 7 letters/numbers BIGNUGZ METAL D DIRTDGR ZIP ZIP AU GETR

Air tests give a good constant test with no variables to show raw power. Ground produces variables in testing and we all have different ground. Its good to have air tests to have a starting point in your own variable situations.

This is similar success i have seen running the 6k over Zed covered ground.

We all know that Steve has run both detectors extensively. I would go with the advice that he gave. I have not read Lunk‘s article yet, sorry amigo 😉 , but whatever he has to say, I would go with that as well.

Depth is the same or perhaps slightly less but unnoticeable.

Could be cassiterite 🤷‍♂️
