I'm now using the Rutus Atrex with the 29cm white coil, and previously used the fantastic Rutus Alter 71, with the 23cm DD coil. Occasionally I use my backup machines, the excellent Nokta Legend, and the Minelab Equinox 600, and I also have the White's Spectra V3i - one of the very first multifrequency machines to hit the market.

Been waiting for you to get this tc , thanks for sharing
No problem!
14:50 Gunter chain marker. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Philip, learn something new every day!
Great review Tony, thank you. I miss the line, nothing else comes close to that indicator. And yeah, the trigger gone is a shame. But it looks like a incredible machine, it's defo on my radar. Cheers!
Thanks John, it is a great piece of kit!
The trigger is nice.....wish they could add it to these new machines
I don't think they can use the trigger and have it waterproof - shame
Question....could not see provision to store your own settings in the manual...is it just doing adjustments to stock progs every time you switch on?
Hey Richard, if you tweak a program it stores your changes but currently doesn't have space for your own like the Atrex did. Have mentioned it to Rutus so hoping it could feature in a future software release.
Hi, I have a Rutus Alter 71 that I really like, but I want something more modern with multifrequency, in your opinion, do you think that the Rutus versa is on the same level as Deus 2, Minelab nox 900, Manticore.
It doesn't cost as much as any of the machines you mention, but I can't do a direct comparison as I've not used those machines...
@@tcDetects But Nokta Legend or nox 800 do you have experience with one of them And one more question if I'm not asking too much ,It's the noticeable difference in performance between the Alter 71 and the Versa. Thank you very much
Hi Tony would the Mars Goliath 15” coil work on this detector would you know as I've seen you using the Alta 71 coil on the versa. Just curious as I would like to get a larger coil for my versa :) thanks for any advice
Hi Chris, the MARS Goliath doesn't work on the Versa and neither does any Atrex or Alter 71 coils I'm afraid, different technology and broader frequency ranges. The smaller coil that I use on the Versa isn't from the Alter 71 either, it's specific to the Versa - which has 2 coils so far, the 28cm and 23cm coils.
@@tcDetects ah good to know I wasn't sure. Thanks my friend I'll keep my eyes open for a large coil option :) thanks again 👍🙏
@@chrisleigh777 Rutus will be releasing a sniper coil, but I don't think they've any specific plans for a larger one. MARS might look at one but they are in the Ukraine and not sure how the war is effecting them ;-(
Hello, thank you for the video. Iam a militaria searcher and iam looking to get a new detector. Iam currently using the Alter71 but iam doubting between de Versa, Atrex and de XP Deus 1. Considering your experience with different machines could you give some advice on which one is best? Also when it comes to depth? Also i noticed on the versa it does have the indication line but i dont see iron, foil, gold and silver like the Alter71 and the Atrex has. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching the video. On your question, I would say that for larger deeper targets then the Versa and Atrex will be similar in-depth as it is the higher end of the frequencies that have increased. Personally if looking for larger, deeper targets I would consider an Atrex with a Goliath coil (Mars make the coil) as I think that would give you the best depth for the type of target I think you are looking for. Deus 1 is a good machine but isn't known for great depth. Worth asking in some of the Facebook groups too as this is all just my opinion.
@@tcDetects thank you for your advice. The Atrex looks very nice indeed. I noticed you can purchase it with the white disc or the black one. Is their a diference between the two? Performance wise that is.
@@AeroStriker893 the white coil is more stable in direct sunlight, it is also slighty larger at 29cm vs the black coil at 28cm... so in theory the white coil will be very slightly deeper.
Love my Versa ! Pinpointing thery thery perfect ! 30 40 khz perfect for reserch in trasc park coin chain gold jewerlei!!! Big soddisfation !❤❤❤
Me too, great machine!

Thanks for watching
Wats the price on this Metal detector thanks. Great video 📹.
Thanks Tony, price is £699 without headphones, £799 with the Rutus headphones, be available from Detecnicks in about 2 or 3 weeks.
Quelle différence notable avec l atrex ? Est il autant performant ? Merci
First hunt with it but id say it's very stable, more frequencies, lighter, waterproof... It's great
So far I have only seen 2 rutus versa detectors in action here in the states. They are decent machines in the single frequencies but in multi frequencies they were completely useless. They could not handle any level of emi when in multi frequency.
No issue with EMI with the Versa in my experience unless directly under it, which would be the same for most MF machines
@@tcDetects hmmm ?? There were manticore users and deus 2 users and nokta legend users in the same area and they were not affected as much as the versa.
@@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398 as I said, not my experience at all so may be user error, e.g. not coil balancing properly, running sensitivity too high etc. Hard to comment on specifics as I wasn't there for what I presume was some sort of group dig? But I've got a Legend, and used Nox, White's, Garrett's etc (all MF machines) and the Versa is no more susceptible to EMI than any of those, and as you can actually use the EMI graph on the Versa you can find a clearer frequency and use that, a feature not available on other machines. But hey, each to their own.
Great video. Phantom finger syndrome 🤣🤣🤣🤦
Thanks for watching!
Big T speak up a bit mate 😊
Turn your volume up!
Turn it up any louder and the adds will burst my eardrums 😆 🤣
@@razzledazzle8948 ah, sarcasm, turn it down then ;-)
Un video senza audio targhet e uno pieta
Hi anyone know it’s better than new version of nokta legend with eclipse coil?
Better is very subjective, I have the Versa and the Legend as well, they are both very good machines.
@@tcDetects thanks, I chose nokta over Versa, i don’t like the visuals on versa and large coil, just sold my deus 2 purchased new legend with vr headphones and new design for 500f from fb market, and safe 500 from selling.
@@ArTeCh777 good luck with your Legend
How does this screen feature(line) help as opposed to the other screens like the legend. I hear users always talking about the benefits of it, but I’m a bit unclear about what it brings. Also does this machine get fooled with iron less because of that display?
@@stemakwest7165 on the Rutus machines the straighter the line is the more likely it is to be a single type if metal, scattered/broken/diagonal often rubbish... So it's an extra help in deciding what to dig
