I have an xterra pro as a backup. If you hunt in all metal mode and all tones is a great machine and does very well. Listen to the tones, don't watch the numbers. I used it at an old homesite loaded with nails and it did a great job picking out relics in the iron.
And just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and the jumpy VDI is only present for when you get to a Junk Target Signal and I have the All Metal Mode On and now the iron grunts will actually help.... and I have my X-Terra Pro set at 12 Sensitivity and then the jumpy VDI is so beneficial to determine the targets is good or JUNK......
Stright talking, no BS, funny, a detecterist for the people. Your a asset and a great knowledge provider. Keep doing what your doing. 👍. Big Clive. England.
I’m looking to buy a White’s Surfmaster PI… I watched a guy pull a ton of targets I couldn’t hear with my Equinox 900 off a beach I just hit. Those PI machines handle the black sands like a champ.
Thank you 🙏 for keeping us in touch with the latest in detectors and cutting thru the hype. I love your channel. I have the first gen Simplex Plus and thought when I earned it, the Legend was my next move. Now Nokta & the X-Terra Pro have muddied the waters. My concern with the X-Terra Pro is Minelab’s previous issues with leaks & broken coil mount ears. I don’t believe Nokta has had such issues. I’ll be checking out your X-Terra Pro review. Dave in PA
Well if Merrill can lower the Sensitivity down below Full Sensitivity and he will not loose any depth that I have noticed when I'm using the X-Terra Pro and the lower sensitivity the X-Terra Pro can process the info that it's getting better when it's not that far from full sensitivity and I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and I have been digging up ALOT of 6 inch range targets but I'm not in a good Area of Old Coins Yet but it's a good practice to know what the X-Terra Pro is capable of telling me about the target and then the lower sensitivity is still capable to get the targets...... and I also had the Simplex + original and it would find the Targets but instead I got tired of hearing the Duck Squawk Tone's and They are still present in the New Simplex Lineup and the Quarter Tone Targets that are actually a Iron Target that has the same exact number and Tone of the quarter and the ALL Metal Mode was a 5 button push from Park 1 and then it's a Single Tone and Program And the X-Terra Pro is a 1 Button Push to use it and I can have the ALL Tone's setup and I don't have to Stop swinging just to turn it on and off and then you can look at the Notka Macro Detector's lineup and it's still a separate program and X-Terra Pro is more User Friendly Detector and Everything Else that is Minelab and I should of been looking at Minelab Many years ago but when Garrett Detector's where on every TV show back when I was growing up and that's what you bought and grew up with but after I had the X-Terra Pro and A Equinox 600 in my Hands and the Simplex + , and a Number of Garret's and one is the GTI 2500 I prefer the X-Terra Pro and I would love to have a Spare and the only thing that is a little problem with the X-Terra Pro is No Headphones for it yet and if you have time to go look at Notka Macro Website and They have already Discontinued the Simplex + as of 2021..... and The No MORE Updates for it to help with the Simplex EMI Problem's that I have encountered......
I have a Legend and a 700 and my beach experiences have been pretty much that they are similar in what they pick up and depths, though the Legend has not had as much noise chatter in higher sensitivity than the 700. Each one has its quirks and practice is the best teacher.
Thanks Merrill. I bought an X-Terra Pro a couple of weeks. The numbers were all over rhe place. For me and in the videos i watched. People say ignore them, just use tones. Or cut your sensitivity in half. I know numbers aren't everything but they ought to be in the ballpark, not ranging from the 30s to 80s on one target. Took it back to my dealer and swapped it for a Nokta Score. Time will tell but you were spot on when you compared it to a Vanquish for simplicity.
Appreciate your content! I'm a budget detectorist who has an original Simplex. Was thinking of saving and snagging a Legend, but I think I'll have to wait now. Happy hunting! Thanks for your content and thanks for being a teacher. That is definitely a tough job. God bless!
Interesting video Merrill. Still waiting on that "true and honest" depth comparison against the Xterra pro as I've seen a ton of test that are not done correctly, obvious bias! i.e. there ground balancing over obvious metal. Was thinking on getting the new Simplex but not sure I can handle that annoying high pitch squawk 😂 so I can do some of my own testing... please save me some money! 😉 PS that Nokta pinpointer does sounds interesting! $?
One thing we dont need is all the bells and whistles on a pinpointer. Another screen to look at? No, I need it to pinpoint an object, that's all. I've already chosen to dig it.
Sometimes I really really wonder if minelab snuck in some sort of proprietary multi frequency thing on the xterra pro. Having used one (also in myrtle beach) I was shocked at how quiet that machine was in the Salt water. Obviously minelab claims it's single frequency but I really question its legitimacy sometimes.
So.... Metal detecting is now a sport where we keep score.... Is this a full contact sport ??? Or is this just a " touch" kind of scoring system..... 🤔 can I tackle a fellow detectorist when I see one ? So many questions.....
What a video, very well made bro. Wasn’t that excited about it when I saw the title as I’m not in the market for a new detector but boy you managed to make it such a great video. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Love your videos. I actually find all my rings and jewelry in lakes. The best part about lake detecting is that whomever drops a ring, it stays in that same area and makes it so easy to find gold! I have a Garrett AT MAX and recently bought a Equinox 700. I'll be mainly using the 700 for the beaches as my Garrett chatters like crazy due to the minerals in the ocean sand.
I've been using an exterra pro since March. This is by far the best detector I've owned, although the last one i owned was a Fisher 1266X but it cost over $400 back in the early 90's. They got i hunt with has an equinox 600 and i can hunt anywhere he can and find just as much if not more sometimes. It has some things to get used to like the bottle caps or the vdi jumping but 90% of the time i can tell the difference between copper pennies, clad dimes, silver dimes, clad quarters and silver quarters by the vdi and tone. It's pretty stable in 5khz when it hits a silver coin. I've found my best finds ever since March with the Xterra pro it's been a game changer for me.
And what is your sensitivity settings for the X-Terra Pro ??? Well I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and the jumpy VDI is only present for the junk Targets Aluminum Foil Top's and Iron Target's and I also have the All Metal Mode On ( Horseshoe Button) and the Bottle Caps still sound good but I'm not Diggin Up any more of them, because I can hear the Iron Grunts now when I drag the Coil off the edge of the Target Signal and The using the of the All Metal Mode is just like Super WoW 😲 of the New Knowledge that the X-Terra Pro is telling me about the target and the lower sensitivity is the key to get there......
@@stephencurry599 And 21- 25 Full Sensitivity but do try 20 and see if it works and try the All Metal Mode on the X-Terra Pro and See what it does with the bottle caps and it's not a Single Tone like it is on the Simplex + but I have been using the All Tone's and I still have them on the all metal mode and the X-Terra Pro is a totally Great Detector and like you said that it's a Game Changer Detector for Sure..... Edit: and I haven't checked yet on the 5 MHz , but mainly i have been using the 15 MHz and Park 1 and Minus ➖ 4 iron Bias but each areas are totally different than the ground that I have detected and the only thing that is a problem with the X-Terra Pro is not having any headphones 🎧 being sold with it and the Iron volume is needed to be higher than 25 but If they have headphones then the iron volume is fine but it's a Very Decent Detector for the lower price.....
I knew I would get you looking at it more I wouldn’t 💩 ya Merrill you are one of my favorite channels . That machine will find everything that the Equinox 600-800 does on a beach , are the numbers bouncy ? Yes , but are they bouncy on Round good targets ? No they are not I call it high resolution detecting , once you get over the way you get numbers from the equinox and just focus on tones that machine is way better than the old Series equinox, having said that , my 600 is still my main beach machine because I like how gold ranges on it better mostly because I’m just used to it more and I have 1 year of warranty left so as Ask Jeff Williams says “ Yeah it’s gonna get wet !”
Amen. I don't believe multi frequency helps much. I use one frequency on my 800. Works great. I'd go up against any one using 800 on multi frequency any day.
OH MY! I am trying to decide as a new metal detectorist with 30 year old detector and torn between Nokta Legend and Equinox 800, and now Nokta with NEW models! Merril…..HELP! Love your teaching videos!
Pinpointer looks very interesting What was under played in that video Is it does have a mode that can be set to ignore iron That's groundbreaking along with all the other features and enhancements.
This year, 2 new detectors from golden mask hf 1000 in single coil and double coil versions are yet to arrive on the market. I would definitely not underestimate the golden mask brand, it has very fast recovery with target evaluation and primitive settings (threshold, iron volume, sensitivity). the product is almost indestructible...
The new Nokta Pointer is very very interesting! The thing about having 23 metal detectors is that your gonna wanna round that up to 24 sooner than later!
Hey Merrill, my thought is that the Equinox is multi frequency correct ? The Xterra is a multi choice single frequency system. The Legend is multi frequency and multi choice single frequency system that was introduced before the Xterra.
Hello Merrill , first of all I have to say that I like your videos. Can I get your take on the following ? I live in the Netherlands and I have been searching since 1991 . I have had only Whites detectors .The last two were the Eagle Spectrum and XLT. I didn't do any searching for the last 10 years but I want to start again now and then ( not so much as in the '90s ) . I noticed that Whites is gone and a lot of new detectors are out there. My XLT screen shows lines and I can't find any replacement on the internet. I can buy a second hand DFX for €400 but would this be a good choice because of the choices in newer detectors.... What could be better ? My budget is around €600 . I can spend more but I know that I am not going to use the detector that much. Maybe I will be searching on the beach for a change ( the XLT wasn't that stable on the beach ) but most of all I will be in parks / Forrest. What's your recommendation ? Greetings Aart
Ive been killing it with the XTP!! All my multi freaks have been put on hold. Im sick of the multi freaks showing a good ID on everything good and bad. XTP IDs well on the important things even in the iron. Ive actually been killing it in the iron sites with XTP and 6" coil.
I know the X-Terra Pro is just like having a Top End Detector for the lower price and also ALOT of people are trying to Kill it By having the Sensitivity on Full Sensitivity without expecting any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and Not Many Permissions that you can get the full sensitivity on and I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and If I really need to go Super Deep Targets then I will go to 18 and nothing higher than that and you will have about all the Targets that you can Dig Up and I will have it on 18 and only that high if I know that it's going to be Raining in the next day and that way when the rain comes it will help out with the plugs and get the loose dirt back to the ground and then after the rain comes the targets will really sound off and the lower sensitivity is the key to get the X-Terra Pro to really work for me and I prefer the X-Terra Pro over the Equinox 600 but To be fair the equinox is needed to be updated and it was never updated since it was a New Detector....... and I'm The Third owner of the Equinox.....
Thanks for the information. I'll be anxious to read about the two new Score machines. It's hard to understand what Dilek is saying in this particular video.
I have a Simplex + and I am currently holding as of 09/17/2023, at 12 gold ring`s 2 gold bracelets 1 large made in Italy 18.3 grams ID style also 2 gold necklace`s both with pendants and yesterday I found additional small (1 gram ) thin 10k gold heart shaped pendent with letter N, 6 silver rings three silver necklaces 1 silver state of Texas James Avery bracelet n charm 3 silver coins. so far!
Thanks for the great video, I really appreciate your opinion about the X-terra Pro and reminding me about the Invenio. The Invenio is definitely very interesting and pricey. Unfortunately, Nokta still doesn't seem to understand how to make any detector that sounds good even the really expensive ones.
I couldn't hear what she said in the video. The banana pin pointer might be a buy, depending on how strong the light is at night(I like red, I have put transparent red plastic on my machines as not not ruin night vision) and how readable the screen is in sun light.
In all my years I've never used a pointer that lasts more then two seasons without issues. I honestly don't care about features I'll never use once it's set the way I want it. I want my 180 bucks to last!
At first, nice haircute! 😮 Thank You you for the rusty notch song! 😂😂😂😂😂 Can I get this as a ringtone for my cellphone, please? Or on CD with an autograph from you.... 🎉 Nice round in the Park with your buddies 👍
She kept saying Multi frequency, she never said simultaneous Multi frequency, in a recent video she mentioned that simultaneous multi frequency is overrated
Thanks for all the very good information. I am in S. E. Louisiana and have very little experience detecting. Looking at the X Terra Pro. Lots of old home sites and a few public areas. that's about it. Have a couple junk detectors, from your review the X Terra Pro would be affordable and of good quality. The sites you have available go back hundreds of years and the public areas are visited by thousands. You be safe and good detecting.
Another cracking video Merrill. I'll be looking out for your reviews of these.I love my Vanquish but a cheap,waterproof multifrequency really ticks the boxes for a tight Yorkshireman. Loved the use of Beavus n Butthead 😂
Love my 600 but don’t want to dunk it. If you were buying another minelab for water next year would you go xterra, 700, or 900? Price is somewhat of a factor, but not major.
@@MetalDetectingNYCAnd I would go with the X-Terra Pro and the lower price level and you can get the Sand scoop and also another Detector for your friend Or Family to go with you
What I would like to see is all these detectors used on the same target before digging the target to see if they all get the same reading on that target. No one has done this yet. Why? because of marketing! I think they will all see the same thing.
There's plenty of comparison tests online. Much like you said........most of them hit most targets well enough. You might get some minor depth or id or unmasking advantage using stock coils from the more expensive machines but if you want better depth or id it's cheaper to buy a few more coils than a whole new machine.......usually. Problem solved in most cases. That's why the Legend already has a number one ranking by Mer. It has basically everything you need to hunt almost anywhere you need to, so long as you're willing to learn and not be so picky. Same with the nox lineup. Heck even the D2 has the lite version which is pretty cheap now........just useless in the water without upgrades.
Super cringe during that whole "score" bit in Noktas promo video. Even if that's the trim level, the whole production seems like it misses the mark for attracting detectorists. I don't doubt the good technology coming out from Nokta - but I feel bad for rising companies that get duped into tossing so much money into a new release with such a rough promo campaign
All the promo campaigns are pretty cringe from all the companies to be honest. It's almost part of the entertainment at this point. How cringe can they go? 😆
From a marketing standpoint I'm not really sure where this score detector is going to fit in their lineup. There's already very little room between the simplex ultra and the legend right now and now you want to squeeze another one right in between there? Why? People that buy the score were thinking about either the simplex or the legend and now you're going to be pulling sales from them to buy the score. I think they're diluting their lineup too much unless this detector has something special attached to it that's going to make me want to buy it over the ultra or the legend.
After thinking about it, I was thinking what would make me buy this detector at that price point. And I thought if it had the e-trac's ferrous and conductive vdi scores combined with the lightweight of the new ultra it would have my attention. Nokta, are you listening?
Hey man....love the B&B clips 😆 And just a footnote. The Fisher CZ-6 of 1991 ran 5khz and 15khz and for many years was the top beach detector. From memory not simultaneous. 1991 was also the Minelab Sovereign BBS multi frequency (used All Tones).
I have the Fisher CZ5 which is 30 years old. I took it out recently from out of the closet and searched in an area which I went over with the Vanquish 540. It found DEEP coins that the Vanquish missed.
It is hard to get to the substance of this video. Wading through the rock concert guitar whining, and messrs. beavis and butt head was loud and tedious. i will have to get to the salient details for these new detectors somewhere else. Is it an over the top artistic performance? Still love your site. Regards.
Man I am killing it with the legend I think bits the best machine out there in less then 6 months I got a fortune in rare jewelry and coins if you don’t believe me I got all the photos and for $499 I practically got a metal detector for nothing compared to what you are paying so I’m saving my money and you’re wasting yours be safe and god bless
@@ChrissyEis Just wait until you get to the High EMI Area with the Notka Macro Product's and I have the Simplex + and it's a totally dysfunctional detector when it gets close enough for it to know that it's there and the email from Notka Macro says that I need to do a frequency shift and that is a totally great Joke 🤣 that doesn't work and the Simplex only had a few frequency changes to try and get it figured out with the shift and Now that I have sent the email and wanted a New update for the Simplex, I have went back to the Notka Macro Website and They have already Discontinued the Simplex + and definitely telling everyone that it's No MORE Updates for it and WHY did they Kill it when it was the first detector that was the start of the Detector War with Minelab and now that I have a New Minelab Detector and I never knew how great a Minelab X-TERRA Pro is until I got it in my Hands and last night I was using the X-Terra Pro and I went to a Junk Target Park that has been there since the 1800s and I have had the Simplex + there before and after using the X-Terra Pro it's a Great Detector that is telling me about the target and the junkyard of target's that the Simplex told me that there's alot of good Targets there but the X-Terra Pro is showing me what is really there and then when I get a Coin Numbers WoW 😲 it's a Crisp Tone and the Simplex + I wouldn't be able to get 30' away from my starting point because of all the Can Slaw Tone Targets that the Simplex said it is a good target and the X-Terra Pro says that it's a JUNK Target And keep walking and Minelab Detector's is the Way to Go and I ❤️ the X-Terra Pro and I also have the Equinox 600 that I don't use now that I traded the Simplex away for the equinox and I haven't been able to make myself try out the equinox and see if it is better than the X-Terra Pro but I know that I can take both Minelabs to the High EMI PROBLEM Areas and Not have any kind of problem and the Notka Macro are A Sparky type of Detector from the factory and I couldn't change anything to get it to Shut Up and Get Back to Work and I did Quit going to those Parks with the high EMI and Minelabs haven't Any Problem's there.....
I really like it. I do not weigh target ID heavily. All things considered including price there is a great value there. It feels somewhat like an equinox.
And if everyone else that you know will just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and then the X-Terra Pro jumpy VDI will Somewhat Stabilize and then when they get on a junk signal target and then the jumpy VDI is letting me know that it's a JUNK Target And just keep Walking On and then when you get to a Coin target it will really come alive and I have set mine at 12 Sensitivity and I only go as high as 18 Sensitivity. if I really want to keep digging deeper and I don't know of any kind of detector Ever made that can get the Full Sensitivity without any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and the lower sensitivity will help out with it.....
@@MadisonMainedetecting No Not Really but I know Why it's Happening and that is because of the Higher Level of Sensitivity but I have lowered the Sensitivity down below 20 and Even farther from and down to 12 Sensitivity and now that I have done that then the jumpy VDI isn't a problem but it's telling me that there's a Junk Target when the jumpy VDI shows up and then when I get a coin target it has a chance to really sing and it will.. and I don't know why everyone is doing the full sensitivity on any detector that is made and not expecting any kind of ground Feedback from the Detector and then the Jumpy VDI is present and almost every video of the X-Terra Pro, people are trying to be at Full Sensitivity without any kind of Feedback and I never have been using the full Sensitivity and I tried and I know that it's not going to be able to but after watching them otherwise I realized that they have no more ideas of what the detector is capable of doing if you know how to use it and there not any kind of problem with the X-Terra Pro but it's just User errors and If you have the X-Terra Pro just lower the Sensitivity down to something that is a totally reasonable number and it's not maxed out and the X-Terra Pro is and will be able to Work and what I have done is find a target that is 6 inches deep and I have started to lower the Sensitivity down till I lost the target and then raise it up until I hear the target again and it was 12 Sensitivity for me on the X-Terra Pro and the Simplex + it was At 3 bars which is 15 And that's how I do it I pick my depth that is the maximum that I want to Dig and if the targets are really Jumping then it's a JUNK Target And I don't need to be carrying around ALOT More Junk Target's that I will have to go ahead and get rid of it but that's why I Love The Minelab X-TERRA Pro and it's Jumpy VDI Problem ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. and I have a Equinox 600 and I don't take it out because it doesn't have any kind of Jumpy VDI problem with it but like I have said before I ❤️ it and also I have the Horseshoe Button On the ALL Metal Mode and that helps to eliminate the Bottle Caps and They have a great tone And make you feel like digging them out before then I will put on the Horseshoe Button and I will hear the Iron Grunts and I have dug up some Quarter's Tone Targets that has a Grunt but the X-Terra Pro is telling me that there's a great target there to next to the iron and the quarter and the X-Terra Pro Was right but the Simplex + would give me quarter Tone's Targets and it was a junk iron and the Simplex was saying that it's going to be a great target and then it's Not but Junk Target's and that's why I love the X-Terra Pro and it's jumpy VDI and it's telling me about the target that is in the ground and If it's junk signal target it's a Jumpy VDI and when it's a good target there some digging up to be done....

Man I’m confused trying to buy my first medal detector. I want a good budget I’m not going to have to upgrade for a while. So should I go with the simplex ultra or Bt. Or the xterra pro? I’m not doing much saltwater beach but more land and lake searching. Thanks
Thanks for all the videos, I am looking to upgrade my machine. I live in AZ, so looking for relics, old coins and gold. Can you recommend a MD $500.00 and under for that? Thank you sir.
Does anyone know how to factory reset the nokta legend i made some changes and now it is super chirpy in wet sand snf water and it was not before I made the changes. Unfortunately i dont remember what i did thank you for the help
It’s the stability setting. (If I remember correctly)When you are in the recovery speed setting hit the pinpoint button and it will switch to stability.
Always like your vids Uncle Merrill but xterra pro vs equinox 600 isn’t even fair equinox pinpoints and everything so much better because of the simultaneous as you know.
Get the X-Terra Pro and you will have a great beach detector for a ALOT Lower Price and the money that is saved on now you can get a Sand scoop and other stuff for land detecting.....
I have a nox800 but want to get a detector for my son that is less than $500. We mostly land hunt. Xterra pro looks like the one but noticed the target ID looked glitchy. Should I wait for this new Nokta? Undecided
I'm confused @_@ where are these two machines supposed to fit into the lineup. You are right I can get an legend for 499 with a new shaft. As a new buyer, the whole shell game played by the manufactures is confusing.
Damn shame about quest, I was thinking about purchasing one of their detectors. at least I got their pinpointer!. and it doesn't look like a banana.😅 🍌
Thank you once again for your time Merrill, and for sharing your thoughts' I will take the New Nokta Makro under consideration, this price is very agreeable! I enjoyed the Beavis and Butthead cartoons skits added. Again, thank you for your time and efforts on this subject of what to buy, and what may be right for the viewers, your hard work and research is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work! and I apologize for being so frank in my comment from your last episode before this one, I love this channel, signed, Greg the Egg. P.S. It's time for a Haagen Dazs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the x-terra can't go over 18.75khz. This limits its recovery of small jewelry and gold that shows up better at 40-80kHz, and will get detected by SMF. I can't help thinking that mickey mouse earring that was recovered with the x-terra was accidental, as there was still a signal when you passed the coil over the hole.
Merrill, your videos, voice, inflections, explanations and overall enjoyable demeanor are the best of all TH-cam detector channels. Excellent!
Thank you!
The “H.A.Goodman” of Metal Detecting!..
Seriously!
I have an xterra pro as a backup. If you hunt in all metal mode and all tones is a great machine and does very well. Listen to the tones, don't watch the numbers. I used it at an old homesite loaded with nails and it did a great job picking out relics in the iron.
Everyone should not look at numbers ,they need to use ears only
And just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and the jumpy VDI is only present for when you get to a Junk Target Signal and I have the All Metal Mode On and now the iron grunts will actually help.... and I have my X-Terra Pro set at 12 Sensitivity and then the jumpy VDI is so beneficial to determine the targets is good or JUNK......

Thank you mate! NOKTA IS Definitely a contender! 👍
No doubt!
Thanks Merrill. I bought an X-Terra Pro a couple of weeks.
The numbers were all over rhe place. For me and in the videos i watched.
People say ignore them, just use tones.
Or cut your sensitivity in half. I know numbers aren't everything but they ought to be in the ballpark, not ranging from the 30s to 80s on one target.
Took it back to my dealer and swapped it for a Nokta Score.
Time will tell but you were spot on when you compared it to a Vanquish for simplicity.
Appreciate your content! I'm a budget detectorist who has an original Simplex. Was thinking of saving and snagging a Legend, but I think I'll have to wait now. Happy hunting! Thanks for your content and thanks for being a teacher. That is definitely a tough job. God bless!
Interesting video Merrill. Still waiting on that "true and honest" depth comparison against the Xterra pro as I've seen a ton of test that are not done correctly, obvious bias! i.e. there ground balancing over obvious metal. Was thinking on getting the new Simplex but not sure I can handle that annoying high pitch squawk 😂 so I can do some of my own testing... please save me some money! 😉
PS that Nokta pinpointer does sounds interesting! $?
I've thought about getting an XTERRA Pro, you make it sound like it's worth the purchase!
One thing we dont need is all the bells and whistles on a pinpointer. Another screen to look at? No, I need it to pinpoint an object, that's all. I've already chosen to dig it.
Lol Bevis and Butthead are hilarious.
Mr. Anderson: "Damn kids whacking off in my tool shed"
Aww Mr. Anderson!!!
Thanks Merrill for bringing Mike Judge into the conversation. That’s a score in my book 👍🏻
🤣
Sometimes I really really wonder if minelab snuck in some sort of proprietary multi frequency thing on the xterra pro. Having used one (also in myrtle beach) I was shocked at how quiet that machine was in the Salt water. Obviously minelab claims it's single frequency but I really question its legitimacy sometimes.
you might be able to get the Rutus and Quest through Canada !!! Merril , great video!
Cool, thanks
So.... Metal detecting is now a sport where we keep score.... Is this a full contact sport ??? Or is this just a " touch" kind of scoring system..... 🤔 can I tackle a fellow detectorist when I see one ? So many questions.....
I have two detectors a D2 and Manticore all I need for now
What a video, very well made bro. Wasn’t that excited about it when I saw the title as I’m not in the market for a new detector but boy you managed to make it such a great video. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thank you Sluicers!!!
You bring out some great points. I’m excited to see what these new units can do.
Me too!!!
Love your videos. I actually find all my rings and jewelry in lakes. The best part about lake detecting is that whomever drops a ring, it stays in that same area and makes it so easy to find gold! I have a Garrett AT MAX and recently bought a Equinox 700. I'll be mainly using the 700 for the beaches as my Garrett chatters like crazy due to the minerals in the ocean sand.
Hi, greetings from Mombasa Kenya.
The only metal detector around this part of the world.😂
Am having a ball in our beaches. I use the NOKITA simplex
I've been using an exterra pro since March. This is by far the best detector I've owned, although the last one i owned was a Fisher 1266X but it cost over $400 back in the early 90's. They got i hunt with has an equinox 600 and i can hunt anywhere he can and find just as much if not more sometimes. It has some things to get used to like the bottle caps or the vdi jumping but 90% of the time i can tell the difference between copper pennies, clad dimes, silver dimes, clad quarters and silver quarters by the vdi and tone. It's pretty stable in 5khz when it hits a silver coin. I've found my best finds ever since March with the Xterra pro it's been a game changer for me.
And what is your sensitivity settings for the X-Terra Pro ??? Well I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and the jumpy VDI is only present for the junk Targets Aluminum Foil Top's and Iron Target's and I also have the All Metal Mode On ( Horseshoe Button) and the Bottle Caps still sound good but I'm not Diggin Up any more of them, because I can hear the Iron Grunts now when I drag the Coil off the edge of the Target Signal and The using the of the All Metal Mode is just like Super WoW 😲 of the New Knowledge that the X-Terra Pro is telling me about the target and the lower sensitivity is the key to get there......
Depends on where I'm hunting usually I try to run 21 but sometimes it's down to 15 if there is a lot of mineralization
@@stephencurry599 And 21- 25 Full Sensitivity but do try 20 and see if it works and try the All Metal Mode on the X-Terra Pro and See what it does with the bottle caps and it's not a Single Tone like it is on the Simplex + but I have been using the All Tone's and I still have them on the all metal mode and the X-Terra Pro is a totally Great Detector and like you said that it's a Game Changer Detector for Sure..... Edit: and I haven't checked yet on the 5 MHz , but mainly i have been using the 15 MHz and Park 1 and Minus ➖ 4 iron Bias but each areas are totally different than the ground that I have detected and the only thing that is a problem with the X-Terra Pro is not having any headphones 🎧 being sold with it and the Iron volume is needed to be higher than 25 but If they have headphones then the iron volume is fine but it's a Very Decent Detector for the lower price.....
Merrill, I'm glad you tried the Xterra Pro... I told you it's a very impressive detector for the money 👍
Merrill, please more Legend beach videos and using beach wet mode in parks
Looking forward to seeing how well these new Score Detectors Work. Thanks Man.. Happy Hunting . Peace
Merrill you are a LEGEND. 🤩.
Could the xterra pro be bbs technology.
Gotta see if someone can hook up and oscilloscope.
I knew I would get you looking at it more I wouldn’t 💩 ya Merrill you are one of my favorite channels . That machine will find everything that the Equinox 600-800 does on a beach , are the numbers bouncy ? Yes , but are they bouncy on Round good targets ? No they are not I call it high resolution detecting , once you get over the way you get numbers from the equinox and just focus on tones that machine is way better than the old Series equinox, having said that , my 600 is still my main beach machine because I like how gold ranges on it better mostly because I’m just used to it more and I have 1 year of warranty left so as Ask Jeff Williams says “ Yeah it’s gonna get wet !”
Amen. I don't believe multi frequency helps much. I use one frequency on my 800. Works great. I'd go up against any one using 800 on multi frequency any day.
I often do the same using my D2 and Manticore …single frequency has its place and the right frequency is far less susceptible to emi .
OH MY! I am trying to decide as a new metal detectorist with 30 year old detector and torn between Nokta Legend and Equinox 800, and now Nokta with NEW models! Merril…..HELP! Love your teaching videos!
All my thoughts are here iratemetaldetectors.com
Pinpointer looks very interesting What was under played in that video Is it does have a mode that can be set to ignore iron That's groundbreaking along with all the other features and enhancements.
This year, 2 new detectors from golden mask hf 1000 in single coil and double coil versions are yet to arrive on the market. I would definitely not underestimate the golden mask brand, it has very fast recovery with target evaluation and primitive settings (threshold, iron volume, sensitivity). the product is almost indestructible...
The new Nokta Pointer is very very interesting! The thing about having 23 metal detectors is that your gonna wanna round that up to 24 sooner than later!
I enjoyed your video Merrill'Thank you for sharing with us.
Hey Merrill, my thought is that the Equinox is multi frequency correct ? The Xterra is a multi choice single frequency system. The Legend is multi frequency and multi choice single frequency system that was introduced before the Xterra.
The Equinox is also a Multi Choice and Multi Frequency....
Hello Merrill , first of all I have to say that I like your videos. Can I get your take on the following ?
I live in the Netherlands and I have been searching since 1991 . I have had only Whites detectors .The last two were the Eagle Spectrum and XLT. I didn't do any searching for the last 10 years but I want to start again now and then ( not so much as in the '90s ) . I noticed that Whites is gone and a lot of new detectors are out there. My XLT screen shows lines and I can't find any replacement on the internet. I can buy a second hand DFX for €400 but would this be a good choice because of the choices in newer detectors.... What could be better ? My budget is around €600 . I can spend more but I know that I am not going to use the detector that much. Maybe I will be searching on the beach for a change ( the XLT wasn't that stable on the beach ) but most of all I will be in parks / Forrest. What's your recommendation ?
Greetings
Aart
Ive been killing it with the XTP!! All my multi freaks have been put on hold. Im sick of the multi freaks showing a good ID on everything good and bad. XTP IDs well on the important things even in the iron. Ive actually been killing it in the iron sites with XTP and 6" coil.
I know the X-Terra Pro is just like having a Top End Detector for the lower price and also ALOT of people are trying to Kill it By having the Sensitivity on Full Sensitivity without expecting any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and Not Many Permissions that you can get the full sensitivity on and I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and If I really need to go Super Deep Targets then I will go to 18 and nothing higher than that and you will have about all the Targets that you can Dig Up and I will have it on 18 and only that high if I know that it's going to be Raining in the next day and that way when the rain comes it will help out with the plugs and get the loose dirt back to the ground and then after the rain comes the targets will really sound off and the lower sensitivity is the key to get the X-Terra Pro to really work for me and I prefer the X-Terra Pro over the Equinox 600 but To be fair the equinox is needed to be updated and it was never updated since it was a New Detector....... and I'm The Third owner of the Equinox.....
Well just see how good score and double score will be. Thank for information Merril .
This why I wait to buy a detector.
Thanks for the information. I'll be anxious to read about the two new Score machines. It's hard to understand what Dilek is saying in this particular video.
I have a Simplex + and I am currently holding as of 09/17/2023, at 12 gold ring`s 2 gold bracelets 1 large made in Italy 18.3 grams ID style also 2 gold necklace`s both with pendants and yesterday I found additional small (1 gram ) thin 10k gold heart shaped pendent with letter N, 6 silver rings three silver necklaces 1 silver state of Texas James Avery bracelet n charm 3 silver coins. so far!
New subscriber here, great videos, thanks for all the info sensei!
Thanks for the great video, I really appreciate your opinion about the X-terra Pro and reminding me about the Invenio. The Invenio is definitely very interesting and pricey.
Unfortunately, Nokta still doesn't seem to understand how to make any detector that sounds good even the really expensive ones.
Okay, a little humor is needed... You're hearing SCORE after using any Nokta detector is ZERO, haha
Had an idea Merrill if possible. Do a video before and after in the exact same area where hurricane Lee may come through?
That’s brilliant!
I couldn't hear what she said in the video. The banana pin pointer might be a buy, depending on how strong the light is at night(I like red, I have put transparent red plastic on my machines as not not ruin night vision) and how readable the screen is in sun light.
In all my years I've never used a pointer that lasts more then two seasons without issues. I honestly don't care about features I'll never use once it's set the way I want it. I want my 180 bucks to last!
At first, nice haircute! 😮
Thank You you for the rusty notch song! 😂😂😂😂😂
Can I get this as a ringtone for my cellphone, please?
Or on CD with an autograph from you.... 🎉
Nice round in the Park with your buddies 👍
These are great times we are living in, (as far as detectors go).
Yes
So the accupoint is a metal detector with a 1 in coil ?😁
LOL great memory Linda!
She kept saying Multi frequency, she never said simultaneous Multi frequency, in a recent video she mentioned that simultaneous multi frequency is overrated
Thanks for all the very good information. I am in S. E. Louisiana and have very little experience detecting. Looking at the X Terra Pro. Lots of old home sites and a few public areas. that's about it. Have a couple junk detectors, from your review the X Terra Pro would be affordable and of good quality. The sites you have available go back hundreds of years and the public areas are visited by thousands. You be safe and good detecting.
I think your pro is better than the vanquish, I have a 440, not good in higher mineralized ground
I live in s.e.Louisiana what parish you in maybe we can detect together
I'm near Amite, La. About 55 N.N.E. of New Orleans. were u at.@@austinbradley3411
Another cracking video Merrill.
I'll be looking out for your reviews of these.I love my Vanquish but a cheap,waterproof multifrequency really ticks the boxes for a tight Yorkshireman.
Loved the use of Beavus n Butthead 😂
I was just about to pull the trigger on the legend! Should I wait???
That Beavis and Butthead commentary for their commercial is on point.😂
Love my 600 but don’t want to dunk it. If you were buying another minelab for water next year would you go xterra, 700, or 900? Price is somewhat of a factor, but not major.
At this point I would still go 700. I’ve had it on the beach twice. But it’s performed very well.
@@MetalDetectingNYCAnd I would go with the X-Terra Pro and the lower price level and you can get the Sand scoop and also another Detector for your friend Or Family to go with you
What I would like to see is all these detectors used on the same target before digging the target to see if they all get the same reading on that target. No one has done this yet. Why? because of marketing! I think they will all see the same thing.
There's plenty of comparison tests online. Much like you said........most of them hit most targets well enough. You might get some minor depth or id or unmasking advantage using stock coils from the more expensive machines but if you want better depth or id it's cheaper to buy a few more coils than a whole new machine.......usually. Problem solved in most cases. That's why the Legend already has a number one ranking by Mer. It has basically everything you need to hunt almost anywhere you need to, so long as you're willing to learn and not be so picky. Same with the nox lineup. Heck even the D2 has the lite version which is pretty cheap now........just useless in the water without upgrades.
@@MrBottlecapBill I am talking about all the new Multi-frequency detectors
Super cringe during that whole "score" bit in Noktas promo video. Even if that's the trim level, the whole production seems like it misses the mark for attracting detectorists. I don't doubt the good technology coming out from Nokta - but I feel bad for rising companies that get duped into tossing so much money into a new release with such a rough promo campaign
All the promo campaigns are pretty cringe from all the companies to be honest. It's almost part of the entertainment at this point. How cringe can they go? 😆
Are there metal detectors that have no target id?
From a marketing standpoint I'm not really sure where this score detector is going to fit in their lineup. There's already very little room between the simplex ultra and the legend right now and now you want to squeeze another one right in between there? Why? People that buy the score were thinking about either the simplex or the legend and now you're going to be pulling sales from them to buy the score. I think they're diluting their lineup too much unless this detector has something special attached to it that's going to make me want to buy it over the ultra or the legend.
Agreed! It’s like the vanquish fit!
After thinking about it, I was thinking what would make me buy this detector at that price point. And I thought if it had the e-trac's ferrous and conductive vdi scores combined with the lightweight of the new ultra it would have my attention. Nokta, are you listening?
Thanks for another great vid ! 👍
Hey man....love the B&B clips 😆
And just a footnote. The Fisher CZ-6 of 1991 ran 5khz and 15khz and for many years was the top beach detector. From memory not simultaneous. 1991 was also the Minelab Sovereign BBS multi frequency (used All Tones).
I have the Fisher CZ5 which is 30 years old. I took it out recently from out of the closet and searched in an area which I went over with the Vanquish 540. It found DEEP coins that the Vanquish missed.
It is hard to get to the substance of this video. Wading through the rock concert guitar whining, and messrs. beavis and butt head was loud and tedious. i will have to get to the salient details for these new detectors somewhere else. Is it an over the top artistic performance? Still love your site. Regards.
Merrill? You Rock all things!
I am a Minelab guy for sure but Nokta is definitely leading the way with Pinpointer technology. If the Accupoint does what they say it does.
Right??? That is next level Brian!
Man I am killing it with the legend I think bits the best machine out there in less then 6 months I got a fortune in rare jewelry and coins if you don’t believe me I got all the photos and for $499 I practically got a metal detector for nothing compared to what you are paying so I’m saving my money and you’re wasting yours be safe and god bless
Waste your money the legend is king
@@MetalDetectingNYC lets see what Minelab answers with!!
@@ChrissyEis Just wait until you get to the High EMI Area with the Notka Macro Product's and I have the Simplex + and it's a totally dysfunctional detector when it gets close enough for it to know that it's there and the email from Notka Macro says that I need to do a frequency shift and that is a totally great Joke 🤣 that doesn't work and the Simplex only had a few frequency changes to try and get it figured out with the shift and Now that I have sent the email and wanted a New update for the Simplex, I have went back to the Notka Macro Website and They have already Discontinued the Simplex + and definitely telling everyone that it's No MORE Updates for it and WHY did they Kill it when it was the first detector that was the start of the Detector War with Minelab and now that I have a New Minelab Detector and I never knew how great a Minelab X-TERRA Pro is until I got it in my Hands and last night I was using the X-Terra Pro and I went to a Junk Target Park that has been there since the 1800s and I have had the Simplex + there before and after using the X-Terra Pro it's a Great Detector that is telling me about the target and the junkyard of target's that the Simplex told me that there's alot of good Targets there but the X-Terra Pro is showing me what is really there and then when I get a Coin Numbers WoW 😲 it's a Crisp Tone and the Simplex + I wouldn't be able to get 30' away from my starting point because of all the Can Slaw Tone Targets that the Simplex said it is a good target and the X-Terra Pro says that it's a JUNK Target And keep walking and Minelab Detector's is the Way to Go and I ❤️ the X-Terra Pro and I also have the Equinox 600 that I don't use now that I traded the Simplex away for the equinox and I haven't been able to make myself try out the equinox and see if it is better than the X-Terra Pro but I know that I can take both Minelabs to the High EMI PROBLEM Areas and Not have any kind of problem and the Notka Macro are A Sparky type of Detector from the factory and I couldn't change anything to get it to Shut Up and Get Back to Work and I did Quit going to those Parks with the high EMI and Minelabs haven't Any Problem's there.....
I am confused, everyone that I know using the Xterra Pro, says that it is junk.
I really like it. I do not weigh target ID heavily. All things considered including price there is a great value there. It feels somewhat like an equinox.
And if everyone else that you know will just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and then the X-Terra Pro jumpy VDI will Somewhat Stabilize and then when they get on a junk signal target and then the jumpy VDI is letting me know that it's a JUNK Target And just keep Walking On and then when you get to a Coin target it will really come alive and I have set mine at 12 Sensitivity and I only go as high as 18 Sensitivity. if I really want to keep digging deeper and I don't know of any kind of detector Ever made that can get the Full Sensitivity without any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and the lower sensitivity will help out with it.....
@@carolrice2063 Oh I see you have some of the same issues too.
@@MadisonMainedetecting No Not Really but I know Why it's Happening and that is because of the Higher Level of Sensitivity but I have lowered the Sensitivity down below 20 and Even farther from and down to 12 Sensitivity and now that I have done that then the jumpy VDI isn't a problem but it's telling me that there's a Junk Target when the jumpy VDI shows up and then when I get a coin target it has a chance to really sing and it will.. and I don't know why everyone is doing the full sensitivity on any detector that is made and not expecting any kind of ground Feedback from the Detector and then the Jumpy VDI is present and almost every video of the X-Terra Pro, people are trying to be at Full Sensitivity without any kind of Feedback and I never have been using the full Sensitivity and I tried and I know that it's not going to be able to but after watching them otherwise I realized that they have no more ideas of what the detector is capable of doing if you know how to use it and there not any kind of problem with the X-Terra Pro but it's just User errors and If you have the X-Terra Pro just lower the Sensitivity down to something that is a totally reasonable number and it's not maxed out and the X-Terra Pro is and will be able to Work and what I have done is find a target that is 6 inches deep and I have started to lower the Sensitivity down till I lost the target and then raise it up until I hear the target again and it was 12 Sensitivity for me on the X-Terra Pro and the Simplex + it was At 3 bars which is 15 And that's how I do it I pick my depth that is the maximum that I want to Dig and if the targets are really Jumping then it's a JUNK Target And I don't need to be carrying around ALOT More Junk Target's that I will have to go ahead and get rid of it but that's why I Love The Minelab X-TERRA Pro and it's Jumpy VDI Problem ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. and I have a Equinox 600 and I don't take it out because it doesn't have any kind of Jumpy VDI problem with it but like I have said before I ❤️ it and also I have the Horseshoe Button On the ALL Metal Mode and that helps to eliminate the Bottle Caps and They have a great tone And make you feel like digging them out before then I will put on the Horseshoe Button and I will hear the Iron Grunts and I have dug up some Quarter's Tone Targets that has a Grunt but the X-Terra Pro is telling me that there's a great target there to next to the iron and the quarter and the X-Terra Pro Was right but the Simplex + would give me quarter Tone's Targets and it was a junk iron and the Simplex was saying that it's going to be a great target and then it's Not but Junk Target's and that's why I love the X-Terra Pro and it's jumpy VDI and it's telling me about the target that is in the ground and If it's junk signal target it's a Jumpy VDI and when it's a good target there some digging up to be done.... AND I'M NOT HAVING ANY KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE XTERRA PRO INSTEAD IT'S A SUCCESSFUL DETECTOR JUMPY VDI FEATURES THAT IS INCREDIBLE ❤️❤️❤️........
@@MadisonMainedetecting And you can listen to them, But until you get the X-Terra Pro in your hands and swing over the targets yourself and possibly the people that have told you about the X-Terra Pro Problem's are possibly the ones that have never touched it yet and are just going By what the Notka Macro Product's Fan's and Tester's and I have watched one person that is a Tester for Notka Macro And the Simplex Ultra and the Simplex Was touching the ground when he was Swinging over the Target's and then when the X-Terra Pro was swung it was Way above the grass and the targets and and it was very noticeable that he was definitely doing it and then he said that the X-Terra Pro couldn't get the targets but you can hear it hit the targets even though the Coil Was a 4 inches above the grass and the target was in the ground about 10 inches deep in the ground and I have made the comments about what happened with the test and I haven't heard anything back from him yet but everyone else has noticed it what he did and he is a tester for Notka Macro Product's and is trying to sell the New Simplex Lineup of Detector's.....
Man I’m confused trying to buy my first medal detector. I want a good budget I’m not going to have to upgrade for a while. So should I go with the simplex ultra or Bt. Or the xterra pro? I’m not doing much saltwater beach but more land and lake searching. Thanks
Thanks for all the videos, I am looking to upgrade my machine. I live in AZ, so looking for relics, old coins and gold. Can you recommend a MD $500.00 and under for that? Thank you sir.
Does anyone know how to factory reset the nokta legend i made some changes and now it is super chirpy in wet sand snf water and it was not before I made the changes. Unfortunately i dont remember what i did thank you for the help
It’s the stability setting. (If I remember correctly)When you are in the recovery speed setting hit the pinpoint button and it will switch to stability.
@@MetalDetectingNYC thank you for your help thank you also for your awesome videos.
Thank You ...
Always like your vids Uncle Merrill but xterra pro vs equinox 600 isn’t even fair equinox pinpoints and everything so much better because of the simultaneous as you know.
Thanks for vid.
So you recommend the legend for the beach and water hunting really don't want to spend the money on a dues 2 ?
Get the X-Terra Pro and you will have a great beach detector for a ALOT Lower Price and the money that is saved on now you can get a Sand scoop and other stuff for land detecting.....
Up to 15 meters what happens after that?
Nokta and minelab defo winning the new machine race 🏁 and garrett been left behind big time I've just bought nox 700 great machine 👍
I have a nox800 but want to get a detector for my son that is less than $500. We mostly land hunt. Xterra pro looks like the one but noticed the target ID looked glitchy. Should I wait for this new Nokta? Undecided
Flavor of the month.
I dint understand why they keep saying insdustry first? first what?
I would suggest Detectors Anonymous.....23 is an issue..😅
True…but It’s my business model!
Should be interesting!!!!
I'm confused @_@ where are these two machines supposed to fit into the lineup. You are right I can get an legend for 499 with a new shaft. As a new buyer, the whole shell game played by the manufactures is confusing.
Thank you for your videos, you have no idea how much I appreciate them.
Thank you
thank for adding beavis and butthead. perfect. 👌
The x terra pro is a brilliant detector for the price, deep on pasture here in the uk too
That lady was trying to eat the microphone. Lol
GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!
Until they improve on pull tab id, I'm not trying anything new for a while.
Could not wait for the screen to go blank.
Damn shame about quest, I was thinking about purchasing one of their detectors. at least I got their pinpointer!. and it doesn't look like a banana.😅 🍌
Agreed!
Love ur videos and thank u 4 reading my comment, I have video proof of the NO CHATTER
How about doing a software update video?
Who's gonna compete with Minelab gpz 7000..?? For gold...t
hey need competition....
Lets face it by the time you buy one another is rt after it claiming its better sort of like the iphone monopoly lol❤😮
He said score. He he he he he he he
FIRE!
Thank you once again for your time Merrill, and for sharing your thoughts' I will take the New Nokta Makro under consideration, this price is very agreeable! I enjoyed the Beavis and Butthead cartoons skits added. Again, thank you for your time and efforts on this subject of what to buy, and what may be right for the viewers, your hard work and research is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work! and I apologize for being so frank in my comment from your last episode before this one, I love this channel, signed, Greg the Egg. P.S. It's time for a Haagen Dazs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Greg!
I thought Nokta was producing a PI machine?
There are not too many private investigators anymore; but it sure would be nice if they put out a pulse induction machine!
They couldn't come up with a better name?!?!?
the x-terra can't go over 18.75khz. This limits its recovery of small jewelry and gold that shows up better at 40-80kHz, and will get detected by SMF. I can't help thinking that mickey mouse earring that was recovered with the x-terra was accidental, as there was still a signal when you passed the coil over the hole.
Not no information about them . What type of frequency or that. Are not on nokta site.
Cool beans
