Just wonder: if you filter out all the 'extras' like the form factor, water resistance, vibrations, flashlights, etc., and do not go to deeply into SF vs. MF peculiarities - just focus on how practically helpful the low-cost machine is in finding nice things on the beach (and perhaps elsewhere too) - would you choose X Terra over say the Vanquish?

On the beach I would choose the Terra. Though I would have the and got the 900 too.

Terra is waterproof. The Vanquish sounds off on seaweed too.

Fewer numbers and you can't do much on settings.

Have the Nox 900 and Terra.

Hi, if your filter out all the 'extras' and just focus low-cost... Vanquish 340. It's a winning machine on the beach. 

The 'Jewelry mode' works very well, it is stable in wet sand (dry obviously no problem) and you will be surprised by its depth and stability of identification. It's impressive how the redhead works...

But for a little more you can buy the Xt Pro. And you won't regret it.

Even more than the extras, as you say, is the Recovery Speed  and the Ground Balance that you can configure to your liking. You're going to need it as soon as things get a little complicated. But It's SF...and multi IQ works. 

Difficult selection. I like the Vanquish series...

Those coins is dry sand with the Xt Pro in Park 2, Automatic GB and Tracking ON -15 kHz-. He loves gold...As you get closer to the water, you lower the sensitivity and reduce the Recovery speed to 1 and...what a coin shoter !!!!

One of those 'extras' is that it is IP68 certified. And that's not just anything...

Five meters underwater is a new search niche. It's not an Excalibur but it works...

14 rings under a game platform!!.

Eight of silver, missing the most beautiful one that my wife has already kept.

Audio is far superior on the new Xt Pro.

Difficult selection...

How does X Terra behave in the wet salt with black sand for instance?  Somehow I thought that removing both types of ground signals at once was difficult to achieve in single frequency kits?

Wet salt with black sand = 'problems' with the Xt Pro and with the Vanquish series. At 340-440 his high iron bias won't help you either...

I have tested it diving in rocky and medium mineralized areas and it works perfectly.

I don't know how they did it, I know it works. And very good.

Finally, I got mine. I will make some tests in the future weeks, and will tell you 😉

The Equinox coils will work on X Terra, but the Vanquish coils will not - is that correct?

Correct. All the Nox coils (Coiltek included) works on Xt Pro.

The Vanquish series uses different connectors.
