The perfect video for minelab
Maybe they’ll see it and sponsor me 😊
Probably the best tutorial I have seen for the Xterra elite. Great work 👍
Thank you. Thanks for watching. 👍
I made a video on cell phone of your video so I can remind myself when I am out in the field for reference. Thank you.
Thanks for your help.
No problem. Thanks for watching. If you need more specific info. on anything let me know and I’ll try and get a video out to help 👍
Great video! I have an X-Terra Elite expedition pack on the way. I am coming from a Vanquish 540 and I'm looking forward to customizing the settings a bit more on the X Elite. Plus having a waterproof detector will be a great addition as well. I will be testing out your suggestions. Happy hunting!
Thanks for watching. I’m really liking the Xterra Elite so far. It’s a great detector. I’ll be doing some beach detecting with it this week and hopefully soon have a video out with some specific settings tips for beach and water detecting 👍 Keep detecting
Really helpful video thank you
Thanks for watching 👍
I appreciate this video . Four days ago I went to the beach . Mind you I have the exterior Pro and the mine lab vanquish . The pro is waterproof the vanquish it’s not . The differences the vanquish is a multi frequency detector . I could not get pro to be quiet in the water . I wish I had the exterior elite , but I can not keep buying detectors . Disabled veteran financially barely making it .
Thanks for watching. The Xterra Pro is a great detector, although it is known for making chatter in mineralized places like the beach.
You should be able to use the tips on the video to quiet it down though. Not sure what setting you had but I would try it on Beach 2, even in dry sand, Recovery 3, 10 or 15 frequency, and then you’ll have to mess with the sensitivity to cut out any other chatter.
Hope this helps - thanks again, and thank you for your service 👍
Keep detecting! Don’t give up!
New to this I have poured over many videos that are much longer and with all of them combined I learned more in your short video quick and to the point thank you so much
That’s great to hear. Thank you and keep detecting!
You cannot have it in beach 2 and 10 or 15 kHz. The beach modes on the x terra pro are 8 kHz only. Beach 2 is for when the head is submerged in water, beach 1 for mineralised ground, and salty wet and dry sand.
To reduce the chatter, make sure you run it in beach 1 when the head is dry, or beach 2 when the head is submerged, do a noise cancel and ground balance and reduce the sensitivity until it stops chattering. I’ve lowered it to as low as 8 sensitivity in some conditions, and still found coins 8 inches deep
@@trugman1 yes, you’re right. I hadn’t realized that in beach mode the Xterra Pro is only 8khz. I just checked it on a friends machine. Thanks for correcting that. I gravitate towards beach 2 for wet and dry sand though. I’ve found my equinox 600 and Xterra Elite work really well that way. 👍
I appreciate you for sharing your knowledge its important how to information for the beginner. Many thanks, I've subscribed and look forward reviewing your channel!
Thanks for the encouragement. Keep detecting 👍
Absolutely wrong information regarding the Iron Bias filter. It is designed not to help you to distinguish between good and bad targets beside, but to unmask large ferrous (rusty) targets, or bottle caps, which usualy produce a combination of ferrous and non‑ferrous responses.
But don't go higher than 0 or 1 - otherwise fine golden targets sounds like ferrous trash.
Not sure where you got that info from. The iron target range does that. All the info. I looked at indicated that the iron bias is to “unmask” non-ferrous targets next to ferrous targets that would otherwise be missed, or more easily missed.
@mwcooke8441 I got it from instruction manual of X-Terra Elite (page 33).
Increasing the parameter will reduce the non-ferrous tone from ferrous targets.
Page 32 - Adjacent ferrous and non-ferrous targets can produce a similar response.
My point on the video is to show how that translates into real world use on the detector - in other words, using the iron bias to unmask non-ferrous targets that are normally covered over by ferrous target noise because of their proximity to the ferrous target.
This video also shows this really well - th-cam.com/video/JsSavQrznMA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bWNveloHtZblHlsi
