They just seem to be trying to flood the market with new models.

And no obvious lineup.

How many people wander around using their Nox in single frequency modes and the Vanquish kicks butt because of multi-IQ.

?  Must be about moving everything they can to the new pod. Vanquish will be like the smart red headed step child.

This popped up on my Facebook news feed from the Minelab page this morning.

Its a real deal, not sure how many detectors they are going to release with a 6 month time frame ...

All Equinox coil compatible

[phrunt]

Note the coil sizes they're saying for the Equinox.....

 

12x9" Elliptical, 8x5" Elliptical, and 10x7" Elliptical, so if the X-Terra can run these along with Nox coils, can the Nox 900 run these X-Terra coils, if so perhaps I now need a Nox 900, unless they're also compatible with the Nox 800.

It seems the X-terra has the best range of coils of any of these modern Minelab machines seeing it has its own coils and works with Equinox coils.   Damn Minelab and their coil restrictions.

Beat me to it phrunt, more ether coils and answers

 I have always owned and recommended Minelab machines, but not anymore...there just taking people for a ride. The cheapest of there new machines has the most and best size coils available, cmon....

Looks like Minelab has set out to try and take what left of the metal detecting market from other manufacturers. Price point of the X-terra Pro looks to be in the mid US $700 range. That's going to directly compete with the Garrett AT Max, Nokta Anfibio and Fisher F75. They may add other less expensive models in the months to come. But if you look at the features being offered on the new X-terra Pro it's only real competition is the Nokta Anfibio. Why would anybody except a brand loyal person  buy the Fisher F75 or Garrett AT Max when the X-terra Pro offers so much more for the money. My guess is they will soon have a X-terra model that will give the Nokta Simplex, Garrett Ace series and lower end Fisher F series a run for the money.

Minelab X-TERRA Pro Metal Detector: What We Know So Far - Serious Metal Detecting (seriousdetecting.com)

The X-terra Pro’s advanced switchable frequency technology is one of its standout features. Unlike other metal detectors that operate on a single frequency, it appears that the X-terra Pro allows the user to switch between different frequencies giving it the ability to detect a wider range of metals with greater precision as the user switches between different frequency modes. This is different from their multi-frequency machines like the Vanquish (340, 440, 540 and 540 Pro Pack), Equinox (600, 700, 800 and 900), CTX 3030 or Manticore machines that gives the user the option to run all frequencies at the same time.

Selectable SF is a "standout" feature? ?

"This is different from their SMF detectors that run all frequencies at the same time". Wasn't it shown that those detectors only transmit 2 frequencies?

What happened to the Nox's SMF obsoleting SF detectors?

What's going on here? It's almost as if Minelab went into "desperation" mode, because the Codan shareholder's told them to "Throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks".
