Very impressive! Ive ran an ATP for over a decade and can't get it to run anywhere near this quiet and effective on the wet salt sand. Minelab is out for blood!
Carl Moreland explained the specifics of single frequency operation of the X-Terra Pro in salt/surf on the Detector Prospector forum about a month ago….here’s his explanation of the machine operating at the saltwater/surf beach in 8 KHz SF: “If it's an Equinox locked in single freq mode then those single frequencies are still square-wave driven and, as such, can be demodulated at 1x & 3x frequencies to do salt cancel. This is exactly how the Fishers CZ's worked.”
Exactly. This is a great way to use ‘Nox components and parts of the code with a new LCD display, presto, a new detector. Carl M.’s explanation makes perfect sense as to why this machine works so well on the beach. What a great, low cost option for the occasional beach hunter.
@@DIG_5050 I agree totally! Under $300.00? Unreal. I'm getting one and I really have no need I just want make the Wife mad and see what it can do for myself!🤣
That's shocking......I'm after a lightweight waterproof detector and for that price that's incredible.Thanks for the video......I will check this machine out further.
Pulled the plug on one......going to the beach this weekend to test it out.Impressed already with the build,lightness and how easy it is to set up.Thanks again for your videos.@calabashdiggerscubadivinga8523
I Always leave a spare pin-pointer in the car with spare batteries for this reason as easy to forget when rushing about, Impressive for the money, my old nox 800 would give iron tones on deep targets and dug them to find non ferrous, good targets, XP D2 does not do this so give me more confidence, this new Mindlab is still a great waterproof machine for the bargain price 🎉🥳🥳🥳
...historically in order for a machine to be stable with no falsing in saltwater, it either needed to be Pi pulse machine( dig everything) , or minelabs multi frequency machines like the excal or sovereign and they were the only game in town on multifrequency for years until now. Machines like the at pro and simplex false pretty bad on the beach and only use single frequency....so if minelab has done something with single frequency working on the beach then i am really curious to see how it works out.
They kind of cheated and you only get 8khz in beach mode. Which means decent depth as you saw but lower sensitivity to small targets which helps eliminate the salt issue by desensitizing the machine in a sense. Or rather lowering the point at which a target will register at all. Plus they still have the software they've developed over the years to make the machines quiet in the salt either way but I suspect the lock in 8kz was the main reason. You can still hear a little bit of chatter in the background but it's not bad. I'd like to see how it performs on small gold in beach mode although I only have fresh water beaches around me so I rarely use beach modes on any machine. All the land modes work in the water easy enough. :)
Yeah fisher 1280x and detectorpro units "worked" on the beach at 2.4 khz, lower frequencies are less susceptible to the effects of salt water. The trade off is less sensitive to small objects and less sensitive to gold. So while it will work, its not the best choice. Still very impressive, dont get me wrong, but if you have a choice of smf or this id take the smf detector. Now if you are on a budget and can only own 1 machine, this would be amazing.
Awsome man the video I was waiting for... Great job man truly a man after my own heart as they say. Excellent job. I'm cracking a beer watching this hell buddy enjoyed the video 🍻
I know it’s still new and not much info on it, but I’m sure it’s better then the Simplex, but would it be a upgrade from the Legend or about the same performance or is Legend better? Thinking about getting this for a back up to my Legend or may use it instead of Legend. A lot of it is going to depend on separation & recovery speed.
I carry a backup pin pointer. Can't see a majority of targets in wet sand. Amazing for a single frequency. It seems to handle EMI like a champ as well.
Hi. Im looking at the nox900 for land and dry beach detecting plus a salt water waterproof unit for gold silver jewellery etc such as the x-terra pro nokta anfibio a nokta multi kruzer / nokta gold kruzer or maybe the Excalibur 2. Suggestions/personal experiences welcome. for uk beachs.
Hi Calabash, my budget is $300 max and I want your valuable opinion about which waterproof metal detector you would recommend for use on the beach and in the ocean to find gold jewelry as well as coins. Thanks.
what's up friend greetings from Mexico City, it will be very interesting to use it in colonial areas in the countryside looking for macuquinas 😁 we just hope it is available here, good luck and much success 🍀✨👍🏻
Bonjour Frère, tous mes respects. Comme je ne comprends pas bien l'anglais la question que je voulais vous poser: est-ce que je peux trouver satisfaction un peu plus profond dans la mer avec terra pro???? Merci de ta réponse
Hey Calabash I have a question for you bout the deus II, I notched up to 84 and like in your video and I still hit nails at 86 87 marked as non ferrous, what can you recommend? some even mark a higher vdi :( thanks if you can address this in a live stream that would be great.
That’s the biggest issue with D2 right now. A lot of us are hoping the update will have a fix for this. Deep square nails sound good and ring up good numbers a lot of times. The higher you notch the higher the number it will bump them up to in my experience.
Salut Calabash, j'aime ta vidéo, MAIS pour nous Européen le nickel US ne correspond a rien de nos monnaies que l'ont puisse comparer. Si tu avait pris une valeur standard internationales comme une alliance or de 18K de 2 à 3 gr, nous comprendrions immédiatement ce que tu explique. L'inconvénient d'être une start internationale c'est de savoir se faire comprendre de son public, même le translator de Google traduit mal les mots de certains influenceurs américain parce qu'ils parle vite et tout bas, pense y. Je vois que tu as l'envie de répondre a chacun , ce 🙂qui montre ton professionnalisme. MERCI.
Unbelievable couldn’t ask for anything better, especially for the price
Very impressive! Ive ran an ATP for over a decade and can't get it to run anywhere near this quiet and effective on the wet salt sand. Minelab is out for blood!
That salt/seawater mode sounds sweet 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Mindlab did gooood with that one. $269 dayyyyum
Right!!
Love mine, I hunt the treasure coast daily here in Florida. Machine works great, best machine for your money. Love the built in pin pointer also.
Veeeery impressive. Who makes a better waterproof saltwater beach machine at or below this price? 🤔 I can’t imagine who Minelab is toying with 🤷.
Nobody!
Great video, very impressive for $269 without multi frequency. Minelab is definitely making a statement with this detector!!!!
I agree!
Hard to believe that thing runs that smooth! Makes me wonder if that beach mode isn't some type of SMF in disguise. Lol.
HMMM Had the same thought..

Yes they do
I'm sold
Oh Lordy, smoke be coming out that ladies ears about now 😮
Well for the price of £299 in the UK its well worth adding to my arsenal just as a spare or loaner MD cheers for the update

It’s called game set match.

Hope you like it!
That is crazy, I am speech less on this. In the wet sand. Keep sharing
Thank you, I will
Very impressive 👍🦀
Very!
I’m 95 percent getting this as back up what will it do in the water is what I want to know
Fantastic!
Many thanks!
That’s some bang for the buck, impressive!!

Legend 🆙🔝
Legend prices are going up...So that brings us to the Equinox 700 or XP WS6 MASTER.....
I seen the Legend was going back up at the end of March.
Jesus Christ what an awesome video, looks like Minelab strikes again
Next test is it as waterproof as advertised with no issues such as the 800 had. Also , let’s see how the longevity of the electronics are.
$269 bucks...
Great video buddy keep them coming ! 👍🎉😊
Thanks! Will do!
Wow, that is IMPRESSIVE! Now what does that say about the multi frequency vs single??? Smoke and Mirrors?
No your Manticore is 5 inches deeper on a Wet Salt Sand Beach..
I carry a backup pin pointer. Can't see a majority of targets in wet sand. Amazing for a single frequency. It seems to handle EMI like a champ as well.
It does...FOR $269 I cant believe it..

You got that right!

Welcome!
Thanks for posting this!

Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can't wait!!
What would you choose for all purpose metal detector, Vanquish 540 or X-Terra Pro?
Simplex ultra
X-TERRA Pro because it is waterproof....Lets see another SUB 300 unit on the Beach..
@@calabashdiggeradventures Τhe fact that Vanquish 540 has multiple frequencies does not give it an advantage over X-Terra Pro?
Мне кажется что 540 стабильней работает vdi 👀
Wow kewl Choices …..Just got better
Yep!
Cool test thanks!!!!
You bet!
Amazing!........I never seen a single frequency operate this smooth on wet salt beach!.........Something is going on here????
HMMMM
Tarsacci is single frequency.
@@itselectric3906 But I think it incorporates pulse too if not mistaking?.......Almost like White's dual field.
@@carlfr2977 that is not known. Only conjecture. Dimitar has never said what makes it tick. Others have coined the phrase hybrid.
@@itselectric3906 Exactly!.......It's not running in single frequency only!......Nope!

If 300 is max Xterra Pro but if you have a little more then the Legend wins out..
Thanks a lot my friend.@@calabashdiggeradventures
Hello, I know the Vanquish 540 is not waterproof but on performance, which one would you recommend? A reply would be most appreciated
540 ID is probably better...Tough call...
wow and wow, nice.
Thank you! 😊
Interesting, would this means Minelab using multifrequency but instead of going the full range, it goes from let's say 8khz-8.99khz??
They say it is single...
Bigger coil on that and it's going to be awesome for beach work
I think so too!
Oh my
Thanks good vid.
You bet
Test how do in iron masking! Thanks

Yes
Ok, you got me, I sub'd, see you Friday!
Today 6 P.M EST got to work Friday..
So single frequency is not obsolete 👍👌🤔
Looks like some maybe. Not this one though.

Looks like 10 inches is the limit...Deus II and Manticore around 15 inches max
Is it detecting gold?
Yes have another video up detecting 8 inch deep small 14 k ring..

Yeah buy your young teenagers one to play with on vacation at the beach. Bingo.
True!
This is a winner for sure but it goes to show how overpriced the manticore is..
