Ummmhhh forums, always the same story. Comment without knowing the product. That has come out this month of August with the X Terra Pro. Yes it's SF, but obsolete?...

...Fourth visit to the same beach, this time with the Nox 11' coil. Wading from one cape to the other with water up to my chest. Three hours... And finally a wedding band came out. Marked '750'. I think this coil gives it a little bit more depth. Numerical identification is still a party, maybe something more stable... This machine loves Gold, just like me. In total about 12 hours in the water in four days. I'm exhausted...And so happy. 😎

Guau!!!! I've been looking for something like this for years, congratulations. I only have two pieces with that caratage. According to my trusted jeweler, very common in Central Europe as a result of the Second World War... That in the scoop would look like a snake, what a joy. 😁

...I couldn't leave that beach without finding some more Gold. In the past that beach has been a real mine!. There are a couple of glory holes and I'm very stubborn. I'm late for work yes or yes...At 5:15 am I am in the water. You can't see much, it's not like the first day. Few targets... I only needed one end of the cape where I couldn't detect because of the waves last time. A 64 ID and a thin Silver ring appears, a recently dropped Euro and on the shore waiting for a precious 23-24 ID. Loud, clear and Bang!!!! Gold Ring. Marked 18k. It's after 09:00h., I'm late again... 😎

Hi Maximus, I use the 'tracking ON' on most of my dives. Also when wading and surfing on the beach. It is a great success with the changing salinity. On the beach it is one of a kind!

I don't know of a single beach that is uniform throughout. It will have more mineralized patches, others infested with iron and some with more or less black sand... Why use a single configuration? I don't understand. I start in a basic configuration and I am modifying it to my liking. On the beach I usually use All Metal and I spent a couple of years in 2 tones and without using the threshold much. Nowadays, there are times when I have the horseshoe in Off and when I hear the humbral cut plus a low and broken tone; works the same for me. If it is also deep, better... Any detector upon reaching its depth limit will give you ferrous tones. And it's not always a nail. Currently I use All Metal and Beach 1 or 2 if I get in the water. In dry Sand Park 2 and once Gold 1. I left the two tones behind and run in 5 or dP on the X-Terra Pro. Depends. Not all are "round signs", there are also broken rings, earrings, small chains... You have to go out more and think less, the Equinox loves Gold. That ring sounded like ass...

This morning I have returned to the same cove that I cleaned yesterday. The wind has shifted to the west, depositing a layer of new sand of at least 60cm. After an hour diving and nothing coming out, I have left the fins and I have decided to ford the cape that was sheltered from the waves. Some old coins and Bang!... Another Gold earring. Marked 585. We continue for the Two Ounces!... 😎

The time has come to pick up everything that tourists have forgotten on the beach... Lately I am using BEACH 1 even for diving. It is somewhat more stable and allows me to raise the sensitivity a bit. I am working between 15 and 18. 😎

I'm a beach hunter. In the water less is more. I usually remove the protector, it's incredible what it weighs with sand included... I use fluorescent yellow 3M tape. How long does it last? Depends on the waves. This is how the Xt Pro coil has been after the last hunt...

Congratulations! Beautiful piece. That's the fun of this, you never know what hottie you're going to get...😉

With that policy they are losing sales. My case is a clear example. The cue for the Manticore happened to be an X Terra Pro (I handed over the money from the reserve with the famous announcement from last Christmas and in February I got tired of waiting). And I doubt I'd buy one. Just seeing the results makes me think very, very much... There is a thread on the Xterra forum asking about the coils... They are not there and they are not expected. What a mess. In the end I'll stick with my old Nox and the backup Xterra Pro. Thinking of giving myself a Deus 2 or maybe a Quest V80 this coming Christmas. Another loyal customer they lose, they'll know.

Congratulations! That ring is like three wedding bands... they weigh less every day. 😉 So happy for you, that 'Clonk, clonk' of a nice heavy ring on the scoop is awesome for a beach hunter. Gold is elusive this year, yes. Waiting for a good storm, we have not moved the air for a month. What a heat...

How is that 700 going on the beach? Do you have more hours? Tell us a little...

This morning I took advantage of the low tide and some dry sand (I don't go through it very much). A couple of Euros have come out at a good depth, it marks them as a ferrous signal accompanied by a sharp tone (5 tones). It doesn't even mark ID, but it 'shows' you that it's down there. This toy is really sensitive... All the jewelry is junk except for a Silver ring. With what it cost me to get the golden junk earring!...😄

Hi, I'm using the screen protectors that came with the Equinox 800. Those that came in Chinese, Arabic...If you cut off the end, they fit perfectly. You will see it well in the photo.

I have made a count of the Gold found. There have been 12 pieces. 2 medals, 1 earring and 9 rings (7 of them wedding bands). All in the water and on the shore except for one medal found in dry sand. 37.88 grams today. For now the most heavy piece, a man's ring, 6.76 gr. All the pieces are 18k except three that are 14k. As I already imagined summer is going to be fun. I'm going for 25 pieces! And this year I expect to finish above 2 ounces...😉

Hi, here I leave you the last two hunts. A Gold earring came out in the first and a 'curious' Silver ring in the second... The Xt Pro will already have been submerged in salt water for about 50 hours and like the first day. 😎

Tungsten rings...another classic!! 😁 This morning I went wading first thing in the morning. Yesterday was Sunday and the beach was full of donating tourists... The currency here does have value. And more than €2 coin!. A Hotwheels came out! 😄 And a couple of silver rings, a silver earring too and Bang!... A Gold earring '750', 18k. 1,4 grams. Here in Spain it is usual 14-18k. Very rare 9-10 and usually tourists from northern Europe where it is more common. Those of us from the South are like that!... It sounded bad and ugly, but in the water, it does sound; I dig it! The big circule Silver earring and Gold 'open' earrings are more difficult, they are second grade!. 🤣 Good sound and the audio cuts out, you have to swing slowly and listen well... 😎

...and how good they sound! I'm always wrong about 'big Silver piece'. If they were Gold we would be millionaires!!!. Here in Europe, in the tourist beach areas, what has been noticed is a significant decrease of coins. Nobody takes money to the beach now... The same thing happens with jewelry, now everything is stainless steel. What a rage when it shines in the scoop. And then comes the magnet test at home... A disaster. Still, from time to time, Bang!... Gold!. 😎

Last night I couldn't sleep, it's very hot. And I went down to the beach to take a bath... The sea was calm and like a mirror, I decided to go for the Xt pro to wade for a while. Result, I found myself wading without a Scoop, without a flashlight and without shoes. And the party started!... All this is done in just 1 hour and a half, using my hands to pick up the targets (and taking a dip in the process)...So funny. In one of these I almost lost the detector, I was not able to locate it and I decided to turn ON all Lights. Screen light at maximum (it looks like a torch in the dark of night) and back light ON. It's interesting and it also focuses on the coil, not the shaft... On the same shore, a clear and loud 23 sounded. My heart was put into a fist, I turned 180 degrees, another 23 without hesitation and my brain already knew it... Male Gold wedding band, I needed that one to complete the set this month. Marked 750, 18k. I upload the photo of the silver ring that was missing, my wife has kept it. And of the two wedding bands together. You never know where the Gold is, and suddenly Bang!...🙃

Correct. All the Nox coils (Coiltek included) works on Xt Pro. The Vanquish series uses different connectors.

Hi, it seems like a good idea! Have you tried it yet? Works?... You have to ensure a good seal, if moisture enters the speaker membrane it will stop working. And if you've only put silicone, in a couple of months salt water gets in there... I think. Discreet on a beach crowded with donors, that is. And more without those yellow Headphones...😁 Try these, LS PELSO, trapezoidal and you can find them in Hungary (eBay). They are worth every euro you pay (they are cheap). You can choose in black color, yellow or blue. My best setup for diving: BEACH 2, Noise Cancel (with the coil totally submerged). Auto GB with tracking ON. I have tried to do a manual ground balance (it stays around 42) and leave it at a value of 0 without tracking. I like it better as I told you before. Automatic and Tracking ON. Vibration ON and recovery speed 2. Now I am using 5 tones. dP I like it too, but for Gold I need tones... Always in All Metal and at the touch of a horseshoe to verify doubtful signals. It's great, a single touch and you will leave doubts. Sensitivity, a book could be written here, I go at 15-16. Because I want to...😎 You're going to have a good time!

...seeing the photos of the glued finish of some of the owners of this forum, it was to be expected. I hope these are isolated cases. You have to give a little more time to the new owners. Now summer comes in Europe. We'll see how that made in Malaysia goes.

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.

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...
