Looks like the adjustable frequencies on an entry level detector make a huge impact on depth! You sold me. I'm buying a couple of those x terra pros for my wife and kids. I also enjoy the adjustable tones and sounds so sweet. The other one sounds like somebody is stepping on a duck.
I picked up a Legend which also can switch into 5 ( which when I tested it, it's actually 4.65khz) 10 20 40 single frequency, nonetheless, I'm really thinking of picking a ML up for myself.
John I’m not expert analysis on anything, but let me say this I appreciate your honest straightforwardness on this particular video I watched your demeanor , notka makro simplex was the best entry level for past few years, now minelab had an opportunity to recognize this and adding a few features it’s probably safe to say this minelab extera is a little better. These companies now have a reason to keep improving keeping price range in mind, you and your friends intelligent testing 3 companies minelab, Xp, notka this hobby is getting better because of constructive criticism and always improving, thankyou
Another good video from calabash . Judging by what I've seen of the terra pro over the few videos that calabash has put up I'd pick the minelab. It seems deeper and seems to separate better in iron I like the look of that unit and just as important I also like the superior sound . Minelab have really upped the anti on entry level detectors not by a bit but by alot
The downside of my vanquish 440 is that the box is not waterproof--the coil and the shaft are. But I don’t detect when it’s pouring rain, nor do I go diving with it. But I do like the simultaneous multi frequency and the start up and go without having to ground balance. What type of soil conditions you have in your particular area is also a huge difference on depth. Target separation is also a factor…say if there was 2 rusty nails next to that merc. I’ve hit lots of goodies with the vanquish. But that xterra pro looks intriguing. But I think my net machine will either be a legend or an xp
simplex come out in 2019 and minelab hasent had a detector in that range wont take much for nokta to trump them if they decide they want to take a smaller profit margaine $$$$$$$ talks
Fair, transparent, valid test procedures that you present in the process of being open and honest in demonstrating your commitment to fairness in reporting facts.
I sent the simplex ultra back and got the xterra minelab have definitely thumped nokta where it hurts the xterra is better than the ultra and the simplex plus and i have used both machines the simplex plus for the last few years great Detector but the xterra is a top machine 👍
Thank you for showing Nokta detectors again. I’m curious about the Simplex Ultra & how it compares to the X Terra Pro also the price point. If it has selectable KHz would be a major plus.
That "depth audio" mode is similar to gold mode and other modes on other machines. It's actually a far under rated mode since you can discriminate targets based on audio volume alone. I have a similar tone option on my NM Kruzer in Deep mode and it's my go to mode. Once you get used to it it's killer even in parks. The shallow and large stuff is loud, the older deep and smaller stuff is quiet. I love it. You can do this on other machines to some degree if they have an audio response adjustment as well but I find it far more responsive and useful than even the sweet regular tones on the minelab or any other machines until you get into 50, 90 or all tones which help a lot as well.
Would be interesting to see if the machine starts falsing on deep iron like the Manticore with those deep settings. Also would like to see how it compares to the original nox vs 10khz on deep silver. My guess is very little difference as I’m inclined to believe it’s essentially the same machine without multi freq enabled. Minelab has just charged us more for the last 5-6 years and they dropped the price to compete with Nokta. Good time to buy a entry level machine these days! Getting incredible performance
Yeah I agree.. And it's easy to charge too much when you have the monopoly. Nokta succeed in shaking the market and forcing the competitors to adjust their way of doing things "a little bit".. When a company sits on the fact that their customers will always pay an unjustified/unfair price just because they have no other comparable options because of the monopoly.. It's not good and . As we say, competition is good for customers and it's always good that rival companies competes with each others.
Yeah it's sad that mine lab put out a new machine out of spite, instead of appreciation for there customers. Should of fixed the water leak problems with the nox line. To late now I'm switching companies.
I think you hit the nail on the head but I would go a little further and say that beach one mode is definitely NOT a single frequency mode...sorry. Can you imagine the people that just paid well over $1,000 for a multi frequency machine only to have them release a machine for $270 that basically does the same thing? They would go ballistic. So they would have to market it as a single frequency only machine, meanwhile soundly trouncing the simplex market with a phenomenal beach machine. Great marketing plan minelab!
If nokta could update the simplex to softer tones it would make it more enjoyable to use. Three years down the road I still hate the tones but it's not about tones or depth, it's about understanding what is saying. I dig far less trash with it than the vanquish ( which I have now sold as it feels and built like a Chinese cheapo ) as it gives too many good signals on trash. Nice machine (440) to use though, but as ugly as my mother in law!
Great video Calabash. There's a ton of entry and mid level people out there that just want to metal detect and not have to navigate a spacecraft to Mars. And thanks to Nokta, Minelab is offering one too..I hope Delik reaches out with the olive branch and sends you a Simplex.
Your video production skills are getting better and better! You were very impartial and fair with both. I liked the way you offered your help to Dilek if she would be willing to send a unit to you, the end result for Nokta and the consumer will only be a better detector. Keep up the great work!
I just bought the x-terra pro and it is awesome! found a long lost machete (10 years plus) just with the side swing! it was hidden under the brush! also found a bullet at the same time! lol
I agree. As these machines get deeper, all the test gardens will need to add depth to the targets in the test gardens. Eventually we might have to resort to a backhoe to dig these deeper targets. 😉
Calling these entry level is debatable in function. They are mid range detectors at entry level prices. Especially the Minelab X-Terra Pro. I didn't even plan on buying a detector as I love the AT-Pro I've had for 12 or so years, but I couldn't pass on the X-Terra at 269.00. It's now my main detector and I also have a Whites XLT spectrum in the closet that was my main land machine. A 269.00 machine has replaced my 600.00 AT Pro and my 1000.00 Whites XLT.
Thinking twice before you buy Nokta brand .I’m not sure the quality is not good or I’m just bad luck . Mine stop working after digging for 4 times .The worst thing is the poor after service. There is only one guy who’s in charge in the service. How and How long it’s going to be fixed all depending on his mood.Mine detector started not working in June . Until now July 28 it’s still not fixed. Warning! Think about the after service before you buy it unless you want to have headaches after one month return warranty expired.
Now if i was going goose and duck hunting I would take the Simplex hands down ,because it would call in the ducks and geese wile i was metal detecting when i seen them cumming in i could drop the detector and grab the shot gun , but I dont hunt water fowl, seriously the Minlab is blowaway, great I think they hit a home run on the X terra pro I want to get one , great video
Oh one quick question, what happens when you turn on a pinpointer near both machines? We had a simplex, but it drove my wife nuts when she used her pinpointer. She would have to mute it, then she would forget to turn the volume back on and would miss out on a bunch of treasure. Hopefully Nokta changes that with their new simplex line.
Well the minelab will have a noise cancel so if you were in the same frequency or close to the same frequency as your pinpointer during a particular hunt you could just turn on your pin pointer and then do a noise cancel on the detector and that would pretty much eliminate that interference. But seeing how the simplex runs on 12 kilohertz and a lot of pinpointers especially the Garrett pro pointer runs on the same kilohertz that's why there's a lot of interference. So it looks like minelab hit a home run on this also.
You can turn the volume off on the simplex and if you place the detector mainly the coil away from the dig site you won't get interference, I've never had any issues unless I have the coil to close or I forget to noise cancel. My issues with the simplex plus, is not having tone variation. So I'm looking forward to the new simplex range. I do like the look of the minelab
No wonder she's madder than a wet hen ! This detector will open the minelab world to everyone. But lets keep in mind you still need to purchase headphones. Depending on what you get it could be up to $150 .oo dollars more . Add that to the price and it's around $ 420.oo Depending on what type of headphones. So that's creeping up near to the price of a legend 🤔. So . I'm definitely on the list for the new single frequency minelab anyway because it's waterproof and it's still a minelab. Almost to good to be true. . 🤔 so it's not quite that inexpensive. But definitely a good deal to grab foresure .
@@carlfr2977 Indeed but it lost everywhere else. Wasn't impressed with the Legend and as you said it a previous video "inconsistent" Thanks for your help reviews.
Find it a little hard to believe those coins are really at the depth you say, I have a legend that is said to be a tad better than the simplex, and even in an Air test which usually does better in-depth results but not representative of actual inground depth, Silver quarters and dimes AT BEST it will beep no more passed 13 to 14 inches.
Ok ....So your here to tell me I am lying about how deep my coins are....How many test videos have I done in my test garden over the last 7 years? There might even be a video of when I planted them 6 years ago...
@@calabashdiggeradventures possibly, also there is another video by Scannerguy that also shows similar results (is video th-cam.com/video/Fa9H8W5wGhk/w-d-xo.html ) which leads to a bigger question, Can the simplex actually outperform its more expensive counterpart The Legend, only speculation but it seems it is very possible.
Привіт друже, я любитель пошуку монет з України, хочу спитати у тебе поради тому що побачив у тебе Minelab X-Terra Pro. Я хотів купувати собі Garrett ACE APEX але після виходу в 2023 році x-terra pro задумався і неможу зробити вибір, допоможи порадою що краще купити!???
All of the Equinox have these same single frequency settings so whats really the benefit of this new machine. the older 600/800 can do everything and them some this "new" detector can do.
The Simplex is still better right now. Who sells a metal detector without available headphones? Minelab. The Simplex comes with Bluetooth headphones for that price. The ML-85 which is the only Bluetooth headphones the X-Terra Pro works with, has not even been released for sale at this time. Even then, you will pay between 140-170 USD for the headphones, which will drive the X-Terra Pro up to over 400 USD.
And I have went to Dollar General and picked up some wired headphones and yes it's not that great but it will work out for the time being until they are available for sale but I'm sure loving the X-Terra Pro with Or without any headphones 🎧 and I don't like the Simplex + and the Sick Duck Tone's that have gave me some serious headaches and not changeable Tone's.... and the money that you have found can be used for the X-Terra Pro Headphones 🎧 and the cost out of your pocket is now nothing but Found Money 💲💰💲💲.
@@calabashdiggeradventures Since preset GB of a detector is set to run over bad soil the gap between mild soil and the factory preset is larger. So it is even more important to GB or at least try to GB.
@@calabashdiggeradventures cuz 2.72 sees deeper but it iss to noisy - when there is no any signal under the coil, crackling sounds i do not like them, on the video I suppose was that one 2.72 version

Well seeing as how nokta has stolen/copied all of minelabs superior technology even the look of their coils that being said the Xterra smokes the herpes simplex.and good lord above those horrid tones from the nokta 🤢🤮..minelab ftw!
Minelab didn't invent the multi frequency. White DFX came out 23 years ago with a dual frequency detector well ahead of it's time and it could run on a single frequency in 3kHz or single frequency in 15kHz. Minelab has used other companies expired patented technology ever since it started. I find it funny how the so called "Giant" in the industry is now chasing after Makros single frequency??? Now that Makro has created and upgraded 2 new models of the Simplex is Minelab going to chase those next. I wasn't aware that a "beep" sound makes a machine better? I guess that's because it doesn't really now does it? SMH
@@c.h.u.d Nope what's the matter the truth hurts? It's funny how Minelab the Giant is going after a single frequency detector they are threatened by. I'm not a Makro "fan boy" by far but I don't like the dirty marketing Minelab has done over the years over charging people for one model to repair their last released problems. The Nox 700 and 900 is smoke and mirrors to deflect from large amount of problems that came back from the 600 and 800. Now they'll use money from sales from this marketing g nonsense to fund figuring out the Maticores serious falsing issue. Then their next model will fund what they didn't finish finalizing on this single frequency from rushing it to market. Got burned by a leaky Nox once I won't let Minelab take another dime from me. I should've learned 15 years ago when the Excalibre battery kept dieing and it took all summer to get that sent back. So when I see nonsense rumors spread like what you said about patents I finally had to speak up
@@c.h.u.d If being honest is salty then maybe more people need to be salty. All I did was tell the truth I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings. You're entitled to like what ever tones you like. We all are. All I tried to do was educate you with some facts so you don't help spread misinformation God knows the world has put up with enough of it. If you have some facts that show I'm wrong I would be more then happy to see them. No I'm not a loyal Makro user in fact I don't even have one, yet. But I'm familiar with Minelab and how they came to be and I haven't mentioned 25% of what I could. My father and my uncle both worked with detector companies in the 70's and he even built one of my first detectors in 1979 that was better then the Whites 4 DB Coinmaster which he bought me that was my first detector so I know a hell of a lot about how they operate. I've seen machines in the early days with function settings that did the same thing today under a different name. Ferro check is just like what the signagraph was. Reactivity is the same thing as a P.A.G. or Pre Amp Gain. Multiple Frequency wasn't even invented by any single detector company so Minelab can't sue anybody for patent infingements. Sure they can claim it as a marketing plot to cut the sales down from Makto but when it loses in court "if" it really goes to court then what? Then Makro can publish it and make Minelab look shady? You think that will go well for your King lol. Why did your King feel they had to build a single frequency detector against the Simplex? I don't really need an answer I was trying to help you wake up which I doubt will happen but how is Minelab now going to justify over charging their customers so much is a Simplex for $279 can hit targets nearly as deep as their CTX or Manticore that cost 5 times the price? They go a little deeper but not 5 times deeper. They can't even go twice as deep lol. Think a little before you speak. And this goes for Garrett's AT Maxx, Fishers F-75, even Teknetics T-2 is a very deep metal detector for a fraction of the price. But hey no problem you're entitled to over pay because you like their tones it's just music to your ears huh lol? Just buy a flute I'm sure you would be good at making those sweet whistle tones lol SMH sheeze
Looks like the adjustable frequencies on an entry level detector make a huge impact on depth! You sold me. I'm buying a couple of those x terra pros for my wife and kids.
I also enjoy the adjustable tones and sounds so sweet.
The other one sounds like somebody is stepping on a duck.
I do prefer the tones over the Simplex, but do like the tones of the Legend especially in 60 tones. I do wish the Legend kept the 100 VDI scale tho.
I picked up a Legend which also can switch into 5 ( which when I tested it, it's actually 4.65khz) 10 20 40 single frequency, nonetheless, I'm really thinking of picking a ML up for myself.

Lets see Legend vs X-Terra Pro on the beach.
Legend will beat it on the Beach as it should.. I have tested the Legend on the Beach in the past.
The Legend would out preform my 10 year old Golden Mask on the wet salt sand but nowhere else.
Legend now sold.
That would be as equal to take the Equinox against a AT pro at the wet salt beach......A multi against single Frequency. Multi will win.
@@carlfr2977 Indeed but it lost everywhere else. Wasn't impressed with the Legend and as you said it a previous video "inconsistent"
Thanks for your help reviews.
Thank you so much for your content
What about the simplex ultra? I've seen tests that show it does better than the xtp, but not sure I believe it.. your test are more thorough..
I do not have one yet..
Can you do a comparison between the xtera pro and a vanquish please
I do not have a Vanquish
Shame 18.75khz isn't used like the original x-terras
Hello, nice video. Can you tell me how deep could ba a soda can in order to be detected with X Terra Pro?
Not sure
Thanks for another helpful video
No problem!
Find it a little hard to believe those coins are really at the depth you say, I have a legend that is said to be a tad better than the simplex, and even in an Air test which usually does better in-depth results but not representative of actual inground depth, Silver quarters and dimes AT BEST it will beep no more passed 13 to 14 inches.
Ok ....So your here to tell me I am lying about how deep my coins are....How many test videos have I done in my test garden over the last 7 years? There might even be a video of when I planted them 6 years ago...
@@calabashdiggeradventures not calling you anything. so relax! just saying find it a little hard to belive.
its true..But one side note my ground is VERY mild
@@calabashdiggeradventures possibly, also there is another video by Scannerguy that also shows similar results (is video th-cam.com/video/Fa9H8W5wGhk/w-d-xo.html ) which leads to a bigger question, Can the simplex actually outperform its more expensive counterpart The Legend, only speculation but it seems it is very possible.
Привіт друже, я любитель пошуку монет з України, хочу спитати у тебе поради тому що побачив у тебе Minelab X-Terra Pro. Я хотів купувати собі Garrett ACE APEX але після виходу в 2023 році x-terra pro задумався і неможу зробити вибір, допоможи порадою що краще купити!???
Про апекс забудь однозначно👎
I can not translate Ukrainian
новая терка про будет поинтереснее апекса... дешевле, ещё и подводник!
How long have those targets been in the ground..I suppose freshly buried targets wouldn't do so good?
some years
All of the Equinox have these same single frequency settings so whats really the benefit of this new machine. the older 600/800 can do everything and them some this "new" detector can do.
$269 bucks...
check the price difference
कुछ भी कहो लेकिन डेफ्त मे वैंकिस 540 से बेहतरीन हं डेफ्त मे सिम्पलेक्स+
Simplex+ is better Detector machine
LOL
@@calabashdiggeradventures ground in demo to doing compitision
@@calabashdiggeradventures Vankis 540 is baklol.
Nice comparison thanks calabash!!!!
No problem 👍
Appreciate the video!
You bet!
What are the plastic caps in your test garden? Drain covers?
Yes
is it better then Vanquish/simplex+? which should I buy ?
I do not the answer to that....Its impressive for $269
What about coils on X terra Pro?? Could you show how it works with equinox coils? Or it doesnt?
I do not have any available at this time...Maybe later I an sure IFFY SIGNALS ON TH-cam will be showing them.
@@calabashdiggeradventures Thanks for your answer, I would love yo see this
The Simplex is still better right now. Who sells a metal detector without available headphones? Minelab. The Simplex comes with Bluetooth headphones for that price. The ML-85 which is the only Bluetooth headphones the X-Terra Pro works with, has not even been released for sale at this time. Even then, you will pay between 140-170 USD for the headphones, which will drive the X-Terra Pro up to over 400 USD.
Good question!
And I have went to Dollar General and picked up some wired headphones and yes it's not that great but it will work out for the time being until they are available for sale but I'm sure loving the X-Terra Pro with Or without any headphones 🎧 and I don't like the Simplex + and the Sick Duck Tone's that have gave me some serious headaches and not changeable Tone's.... and the money that you have found can be used for the X-Terra Pro Headphones 🎧 and the cost out of your pocket is now nothing but Found Money 💲💰💲💲.
great test
Thank you!
Make GB before using any detector
Ground is too mild in my yard machines will not grab it..
@@calabashdiggeradventures you need gb in every kind of ground your expert my friend not amateur
WILL NOT GB IN MY YARD SOIL TOO MILD...AKA TO MINELAB WILL NOT GRAB IT..
@@calabashdiggeradventures try with simplex if you want and inform me
Why didn't you ground balance the detectors?
After any settings change, you need to GB the units.
My grounds so mild in my yard most of the time the units will not grab it...I live close the coast and its sand...
@@calabashdiggeradventures Since preset GB of a detector is set to run over bad soil the gap between mild soil and the factory preset is larger.
So it is even more important to GB or at least try to GB.
Wrong...Your in error
@@calabashdiggeradventures What an answer from an "expert" who does not even GB a detector before testing.
My soil in my yard will not Ground Balance its to mild..I have dialed them it manually in the past and tested guess what the results were?
You have the simplex in field mode and the Terra in park 🤔
Field mode on the Simplex is it's deepest mode
Yep...
@@calabashdiggeradventures al
All metall is the deepest in every md
Good demos. If you could a/b both units on a 'nickel', for depth. A nickel is the closest equivelant to a one ounce gold nugget.
Great stuff ! ....how do I join your live stream. ? I tried but I'm old !
Hit the notifications and it will tell you when I am going live. Normally Fri 6 P.M. EST ... but sometimes I have to switch it to Thurs 6 P.M EST..
Wich version vas installed on Simplex? 2.72?
Will have to check it is my buddies machines..
@@calabashdiggeradventures cuz 2.72 sees deeper but it iss to noisy - when there is no any signal under the coil, crackling sounds i do not like them, on the video I suppose was that one 2.72 version
@@CoxpaHur possibly the 2.78 and By Notka Macro info they have said that they don't have any more updates for the Simplex+ , but it's Seriously Needed.... for the Simplex + OWNER'S EARS
@@carolrice2063 thats right

the balance of the simplex on the beach must be brought to 0
Yeah... tried it does not matter..
Personally, my simplex has sat in the closet for years, I just don't like it.
And I have traded my Simplex to get a Minelab Equinox 600 Straight Up and the only problem with the equinox is that it's needing to be updated and I don't have a Desktop 🖥️ to get it done but my nephew has downloaded the update and is supposed to be here for Christmas and the Detecting Season is over kinda until Spring so I can wait till then... Or Longer.... but I also have the X-Terra Pro and I ❤❤❤❤it..
What!!!!
So, what your saying is, why pay more for less? Lmao
I think your cups are a bit overpriced.😂
I could buy a dozen for that price.
Yeah , Its takes a lot of money to fund this channel....Most just click and watch and never even think about it..
Странные тесты.
Great test
Thanks!
Well seeing as how nokta has stolen/copied all of minelabs superior technology even the look of their coils that being said the Xterra smokes the herpes simplex.and good lord above those horrid tones from the nokta 🤢🤮..minelab ftw!
Minelab didn't invent the multi frequency. White DFX came out 23 years ago with a dual frequency detector well ahead of it's time and it could run on a single frequency in 3kHz or single frequency in 15kHz. Minelab has used other companies expired patented technology ever since it started. I find it funny how the so called "Giant" in the industry is now chasing after Makros single frequency??? Now that Makro has created and upgraded 2 new models of the Simplex is Minelab going to chase those next. I wasn't aware that a "beep" sound makes a machine better? I guess that's because it doesn't really now does it? SMH
@@jeanponce2017 is that YOU dilek?
@@c.h.u.d
Nope what's the matter the truth hurts? It's funny how Minelab the Giant is going after a single frequency detector they are threatened by. I'm not a Makro "fan boy" by far but I don't like the dirty marketing Minelab has done over the years over charging people for one model to repair their last released problems. The Nox 700 and 900 is smoke and mirrors to deflect from large amount of problems that came back from the 600 and 800. Now they'll use money from sales from this marketing g nonsense to fund figuring out the Maticores serious falsing issue. Then their next model will fund what they didn't finish finalizing on this single frequency from rushing it to market. Got burned by a leaky Nox once I won't let Minelab take another dime from me. I should've learned 15 years ago when the Excalibre battery kept dieing and it took all summer to get that sent back. So when I see nonsense rumors spread like what you said about patents I finally had to speak up
@@jeanponce2017 you're salty..have a Snickers bar..minelab is king it always has been nokta is getting sued by minelab and for good reason
@@c.h.u.d
If being honest is salty then maybe more people need to be salty. All I did was tell the truth I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings. You're entitled to like what ever tones you like. We all are. All I tried to do was educate you with some facts so you don't help spread misinformation God knows the world has put up with enough of it. If you have some facts that show I'm wrong I would be more then happy to see them. No I'm not a loyal Makro user in fact I don't even have one, yet. But I'm familiar with Minelab and how they came to be and I haven't mentioned 25% of what I could. My father and my uncle both worked with detector companies in the 70's and he even built one of my first detectors in 1979 that was better then the Whites 4 DB Coinmaster which he bought me that was my first detector so I know a hell of a lot about how they operate. I've seen machines in the early days with function settings that did the same thing today under a different name. Ferro check is just like what the signagraph was. Reactivity is the same thing as a P.A.G. or Pre Amp Gain. Multiple Frequency wasn't even invented by any single detector company so Minelab can't sue anybody for patent infingements. Sure they can claim it as a marketing plot to cut the sales down from Makto but when it loses in court "if" it really goes to court then what? Then Makro can publish it and make Minelab look shady? You think that will go well for your King lol. Why did your King feel they had to build a single frequency detector against the Simplex? I don't really need an answer I was trying to help you wake up which I doubt will happen but how is Minelab now going to justify over charging their customers so much is a Simplex for $279 can hit targets nearly as deep as their CTX or Manticore that cost 5 times the price? They go a little deeper but not 5 times deeper. They can't even go twice as deep lol. Think a little before you speak. And this goes for Garrett's AT Maxx, Fishers F-75, even Teknetics T-2 is a very deep metal detector for a fraction of the price. But hey no problem you're entitled to over pay because you like their tones it's just music to your ears huh lol? Just buy a flute I'm sure you would be good at making those sweet whistle tones lol SMH sheeze
