I loved watching you. I just ordered the Minelab X-Terra Pro as my first detector and can't wait to get out on the beach to start the hands-on learning and hopefully uploading some of my own finds. I would have loved the Elite, but the budget didn't stretch that far for my first detector in a new hobby. It's been fun to watch your videos. I've subscribed and liked and look forward to seeing more.
Hey Bill and Christine good hunt with the X-Terra Pro and the X-Terra Elite and awesome find on the Silvers at the beach.......Happy Hunting and many more to come
Thanks... It goes to show that having something on a key ring to help locate the owner is a smart idea. Not sure how many people would have bothered? Thanks, we did score some nice silver. I am giving away the cute bracelet to one of our followers child!
HI Guys, I am on my computer this evening, so I am able to comment on todays show. It was good, and I have an X-Terra Pro that I bought for my wife which she doesn't care for, so it sits because I use my Equinox 900 and have my 800 to back it up. The X-Terra Elite shows to be much better Than the Pro. you guys did a great job comparing the two. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Caesar. I'm sorry that your wife doesn't really care for the X-Terra Pro... The machine isn't that bad. Hopefully, she'll give it another go. The learning curve for metal detecting is pretty intense.
Hi Christine & Bill that was a really interesting hunt. It showed that they were even on the day but the parks may change that. Way to go Christine 2 very nice silver pieces. Bill you bowed out gracefully in declaring Christine the winner winner cup cake dinner. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great video, it was a pleasure meeting both of you next to pier while you were comparing the two detectors. My son got a kick out of hearing you mention that you met Randy. You made my day (grins).
Thanks for doing the side-by-side comparison of the 2 detectors. It's a big help to those on the fence when choosing. FYI - I take all my good shape cars, toys, and women's clothing to the local battered women's and children's shelter. Lots of times they have to run off with only the clothes on their backs.
Hi guys, great hunt, you both did really well on this one. Congrats on the silver. It was worth every minute of being out there. Loved the video. Looking forward to the next one. Take care.
My first question when I saw the Elite come out was why did they not do the Multi-IQ with the Pro? Not sure if it is something they can add in an update or not?
Good morning. I loved the video nice finds beautiful ring Christine. Lots of fun, nice silvers to God bless you guys stay safe see you on the next hunt bye 😊
Well I really enjoyed the matchup between the pro and the elite today. I also have both machines and notice the vdi is much more stable on the elite but Penny's in particular come up as a very different number on the elite for some reason. I found three pennies today that came up a 28. That's crazy. On the pro they are a 60. The pro is a slam bargain for what it can do for the price and the elite just does it all better. Nice hunt!
Thanks for the fun. Could you please try and demonstrate using a cheaper Bounty Hunter detector? If you have not tried yet Im sure you will be greatly impressed. I have thw Vanquish 540. But find my Tracker4 and 2200 to be more accurate and effective. Just plain fun and ease of use.
Thank you for comparing the two and awesome finds!! From what I can tell and as was mentioned, the only real difference is the multi- frequency, making the Elite more accurate. Or are there some other details I might have missed?
I’m “digging” the new intro!! Nice idea Christine has to give out toys on Halloween-I’ve been doing that for a few years (pick up little things at yard sales etc) and the kids love it 🎃🚙
Great hunt. The Xterra Elite will always be more stable because of the Multi-IQ (multiple frequencies at once). It would be really interesting to do a comparison of the Elite vs. Bill's Equinox 800. The Nox would have the advantage on small gold, like small chains, because it has a higher frequency. On silver and coins the might be the same?
The Elite might have the advantage over the Equinox 600 or 800. Remember the Equinox 600 and 800 are 10 year old machines. They have much slower processors then todays machines.
What's that gray under-counter light cover ("whatever that is") doing on the beach? A little freaky. And the keys? E-bike or motorcycle "bike" lock keys... you see them on "disc-brake" alarm locks.
Your hunt is proof-positive that even the most heavily detected SoCal beaches are still productive. How about an (X-Terra Elite) Vs. (Vanquish) comparison? If the Elite wins, time to retire the Vanquish? 😛
Hahahahaha. The Vanquish seems to be semi-retired as of now. Ha! But definitely will try to take it out soon and do a comparison of the Elite and Vanquish.
I know this was three months ago but here is a tip Christine to save yourself energy sifting do two hard shakes the item will be in back of scoop because of density then you can tip out 3/4 of the rest and then either shake it rest of way or spread the remaining in a line and pick item
Nice hunt you too it’s Always great to find precious metals on a hunt no matter what it is and you’re out on the beach doing it which is always fun and enjoyable we hunt a lot of the same places in the area someday I’m sure we’ll cross paths enjoy the video keep up to Hunt
Hello, sand gets under my coil cover, builds up and sends false signals You dealing with it? Same problem? Once I remove n clean out,it’s good to go Best~Regards,,,,,edit,, hot sweaty? It’s been in the upper90s here all week, index is a 102 today Try working in it all day
@@christinethestringbean ya the 1 part of my beach it happened, wonder if I put a sealant on it .?, some at pros same thing, my friends machine ,he ditched his cover
Another great video :) i just ordered myself the nokta dubble score. What's your opinion on nokta? Since the elite cost 700$ for me so spent 450$ on the nokta. Yep i know strange prices here in Europe
The double score is a good machine (from what I seen on TH-cam I don't own a double score) Does it have single frequency or is it just multifrequency only?? I own the legend and I love it, very good machine, especially in Canada with our steel core change because you can use 40khz, I think euros and euro cents are steel core too Have fun with your double score, I'm a fan of Nokta, before I had the legend I had the Simple Plus, when I got the legend I gave the Simplex Plus to a kid my mom knows, he was very happy, he had a lousy metal detector before that actually broke, now he has a good Nokta simplex plus, it's an unbreakable machine
The X-Terra Pro beach mode says it is 8hz but based of testing it is multi frequency and 8 hz isn’t one of them. Single frequency’s don’t perform well in the wet saltwater beach sand. A little afraid of the new update as it may take the multi away. Fun hunt and the elite performance was nice. 👋😁 I think that’s what the 925 means😂
Thx for the video. I need to upgrade to a better detector. I live in utah and detect here but we come out to the beach every couple months so maybe ill have to buy one for utah and one for SoCal. Idk 🤷♂️ depends on money as always lol By the way I don't go to Santa Monica. That place hase really going downhill past several years. Too bad it was a beautiful place.
That is weird the Vdi is different even though the scale is the same. (Or at least I think the Scale is ) Otherwise You Two had a very eventful hunt and congrats on the rings and silvers. Awesome. Happy Hunting. Peace
Awesome day. Did you update the XTP? If not, you should and try again because I've heard it helps stabilize the numbers. I used my XTP at a tot lot and I wanted to immediately go back to my Manticore with the M9 coil which is amazing. I found an iPhone at 18 inches in the wet sand.
Yes... we took it a step further and called the gym. They were very helpful... Christine got a call back from the owner immediately and within an hour I had it at the post office and in a Priority box back to him... He was very happy!
@@DigginSoCal I would be happy as well. My key cost about $400 on one of my vehicles so I actually have lost key insurance. Edit: insurance came with purchase.
The woman from Abba I saw there years ago with her husband bjorn. Anyway. Was that Santa Monica? Looks a lot different since I lived there. 1974. Lol long time ago. If it was Bill only I wouldn't view the channel so often. You make the channel Christine. Jim Morrison the doors lived there couple album covers photos from there.

Hey Bill and Christine good hunt with the X-Terra Pro and the X-Terra Elite and awesome find on the Silvers at the beach.......Happy Hunting and many more to come
Nice finds. And of course the hosts of Diggin SoCal are at their best. Yet no Buddy - must be contract negotiating time 😅.
Nicely done
That's fantastic that you were able to reunite the keys with their owner. I bet they were very happy. Your jewelry finds were awesome too!
Thanks... It goes to show that having something on a key ring to help locate the owner is a smart idea. Not sure how many people would have bothered? Thanks, we did score some nice silver. I am giving away the cute bracelet to one of our followers child!

What a hunt for the both of you. Great finds. Looks like both detectors did well. Thanks for sharing
Great video, it was a pleasure meeting both of you next to pier while you were comparing the two detectors. My son got a kick out of hearing you mention that you met Randy. You made my day (grins).
It was nice to meet you too Randy!!!! Glad we were able to make your day.
Christine's ring...$130! GREAT FIND! Good job!!
Nice morning hunt! Congrats Christine on your double Silver score! Bill congrats on your bracelet... Awesome Time....😊
Thank you!
Some nice finds guys :-) And great hunt, thanks for sharing ... from a chilly Cape Town! ;-)
Thanks Peter!
Nice job with the keys. Cool swivel ring. Thanks for the fun.
Thanks Tim!
Wow fantastic that you are able to find the owner of the Keys. Nice find on the silver rings and the tour of Santa Monica beach :) yeah
Great finds for the both of you.
Thanks Janas!

Good job Guys on your success of returning the keys,and you had great results from both detectors,❤🎉
Thanks Helen!
Cool save and return of the keys!
Yes!!!!!
Please do a comparison after updating the Pro.
Thanks! Best of luck out there.
Great finds for both of you.
Thanks Robert!
Nice finds awesome ring 💍...all that clad adds up ......happy hunting
Cool you were able to reunite the keys with the owner. Go hunt today! Great video, thank.
Thanks Norm!
I gave mine a good whirl today too. I like it! I’m still learning but I’m well on the way to getting the hang of it.
Hi guys, great hunt, you both did really well on this one. Congrats on the silver. It was worth every minute of being out there. Loved the video. Looking forward to the next one. Take care.
Thanks Dawn!!!!
Thanks for the comparison guys!!!!!
You're welcome! It was so much fun!!!!!! Can't wait to continue doing a comparison.
Rotina feliz para meu sábado! Já acordo pensando: Hoje tem Christine e Bill...
Gosto muito de vcs!
Gracias por todo!!!
That was fun. I like that area not my favorite, but I do like it. Good luck in your next adventure.
Thanks Robert!
Oh wow, what a hunt. Keep digging SoCal ❤
Thanks Julie!!!
Awsome hunt with the new Machine thanks for sharing your video
Good hunt. Fun finds;
Yes! Thanks!!!!
Very nice comparison between the two. I would get an Elite to go with my Equinox 700. The Vanquish pro pack might get retired.
My first question when I saw the Elite come out was why did they not do the Multi-IQ with the Pro? Not sure if it is something they can add in an update or not?
Did the cross have any writing or anything to indicate it had karat rating.
Wow a new gudget from Minelab
Good hunting with the two extera
Happy 😊 hunting
Thanks Emilio!
Great video. Looks like both machines do well in the sand.
Thanks so much!
Good morning. I loved the video nice finds beautiful ring Christine. Lots of fun, nice silvers to God bless you guys stay safe see you on the next hunt bye 😊

I totally agree. For their pricing, they are both solid and high quality detectors.
Garrett apex vs the elite... I'm thinking selling my apex and going elite..thoughts? I'm a newbie
Great video and finds you two, thx for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!

That's a great idea! I'll definitely talk to Bill about it.
Wow , congrats 🎉 on the silvers. Love the beach hunts. Really enjoyed the video thanks 👍💯😃🪂
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!
2nd!!!!! Good morning Christine and Bill🎉🎉🎉❤
Good morning
Thank you for comparing the two and awesome finds!! From what I can tell and as was mentioned, the only real difference is the multi- frequency, making the Elite more accurate. Or are there some other details I might have missed?
So far, that's all we've noticed too!
two of those keys are for a disk detainer lock and no not usually cheap!
We were able to return the keys to owner.
Hey Christine…Can you do a head to head with the XTerra Elite and your Vanquish? Curious to see the multi-frequency battle!!
This is a good idea!!! When Bill returns we will work on that.
Nice job on the keys , cool rings I think the Elite won 😊
Thanks Bryan!
And a pewter necklace.😊
Good job you two!
Thanks for the video. That may have gotten me off the fence and on the elite side!
I’m “digging” the new intro!! Nice idea Christine has to give out toys on Halloween-I’ve been doing that for a few years (pick up little things at yard sales etc) and the kids love it 🎃🚙
Nice job you two👍🤓
Thanks Lisa!
Happy Saturday, Great job
Me podrias mandar una configuracion completa para detectar en modo campo ...gracias
Can you do a video on the x terra elite us coins vdi numbers
The video that came out on Wednesday, June 26th shows Bill hunting in the park. Hopefully that helps.
cool lock!
Thanks! We thought it was cool too!
what brand sand scoops are you using?
I use the Xtreme and Christine uses the CKG scoop. Hers is a lil lighter
Great hunt. The Xterra Elite will always be more stable because of the Multi-IQ (multiple frequencies at once). It would be really interesting to do a comparison of the Elite vs. Bill's Equinox 800.

Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure 🇺🇸💕🌎👵✌️🎉🌺
YESSSSSS
Nice hunt you too it’s Always great to find precious metals on a hunt no matter what it is and you’re out on the beach doing it which is always fun and enjoyable we hunt a lot of the same places in the area someday I’m sure we’ll cross paths enjoy the video keep up to Hunt
Always detect around and under the life guard shack
Hello, sand gets under my coil cover, builds up and sends false signals
You dealing with it? Same problem? Once I remove n clean out,it’s good to go
Best~Regards,,,,,edit,, hot sweaty? It’s been in the upper90s here all week, index is a 102 today
Try working in it all day
Interesting. I never thought about that. I haven't noticed any issues with the sand affecting the detector.

Thats a sterling silver ring by the volleyball court.
You might be thinking of Yukon Cornelius. 😊
Hi friends which you recommend for a first choice
Nice finds, but I miss not seeing Buddy boy
He's still around. Our table that we usually use to do the wrap up is preoccupied with a puzzle that is in progress.

We shall see!!!!
Is the elite worth the extra money?

ahhhhhhh!!!!
💕very good.
