Just bought my Xterra Pro tonight from Cabelas' They had em in stock! Say no more.. " You aint Slayin this Dragon" For the Price.... I truly feel that Minelaab just put the "SMACK DOWN" On Nokta.... Yeah buddy! Thanks Brother - Joey
I would not expect it to mat h Deus 2 ops for iron/nonferrous separation. Don’t think Exterra would match Manticore either. Just remember the price differences. Large. Question should be how does it compare to other single freq VLFs that run in 13-15 kHz? Depth wise we have already seen one example. So No XTerra won’t be a Deus 2, Deus 2, EQX series or even a Deus 1 killer.
and The Simplex + can't handle any kind of EMI and it's dysfunctional the Simplex + that I own and possibly All the New Simplex Ultra and others that Notka Macro Makes And in Calabash environment you can hear the EMI on the Notka Macro Product's and you don't with Minelab Detector's and I'm Glad to of gotten the X-Terra Pro and it's a Learning Curve that isn't that bad Or going to be hard to learn and the first time Minelab Owner and of the X-Terra Pro❤❤❤
Ain’t gonna lie it’s shaping up to be a good detector especially for the price point. I’m looking forward to the separation, recovery speed & how it handles in heavy iron test.
Awesome work Calabash. People are starting to say the prices the Xterra so low to help make up for slow Manticore sales. But my question is( and I do love my old Nox 600) but what is it that can justify the xterra being $269 and Manticore $1,600? Looks like the xterra can handle the beach, is submersible and has decent depth. Is the difference separation, depth, gold finding mode? Again thank you for sharing your work and experience with us. 🙏🏽
I’ve been contemplating on buying a Nokta Legend or the new , next generation, Simplex Ultra. Now however, I think I’ll wait for the reviews on the Xterra. Same price point, give or take , but where was the fat trimmed in order to offer more features for the money. Was it in durability, longevity of electronics ? Something had to go to keep it competable.
Would like to see you test the AT Pro with the Nel Tornado coil, use it myself and it helps it hit alittle better on those deeper targets and give newer machines a run for their money. Sadly the AT Pro is a 13 year old machine and it doesn't seem like Garrett will introduce any new machines to compete any time soon. Great video and i almost bought an Xterra Pro at Bass Pro the other day other than the fact that it doesn't come with headphones.
Would like to see this against the multi Legend,,gotta feeling xterra wins from what I've been seeing. I think that versus one is more challenging than pro or simplex. Multi vs single.
Is the balance more like the 800 or like the 900? I have the 800 and it’s always felt nose heavy to me. But then I’ve been using the Deus for years. Thanks for the video, CD.
5 yrs from now the At Pro will still be in demand. Its actually so popular now, and you still have one,because it trusty, Stable Id, and yeilds the finds, and thats what its all about. I guess we"ll have to see if the x terra yeilds deeper finds out in the wild. I would still choose at pro if either was offered. Ive tried most of the newbies under $ 300 and all were mostly unstable, jumpy ID numbers and favored shallow targets in hard compact soils. But this one will be differant? Time will tell. And in another 5 yrs the new kid on the block will have to go up against the at pro.
Boy was I wrong in my initial impression of Minelab releasing a Single Frequency Device. I incorrectly assumed that the X Terra Pro would land at a plus $600 MSRP but at $269, Minelab has tipped over the Apple Cart and fired a Volley across the bow and this is really a great idea and fine product. Mea culpa. I confess my misgivings and initial reaction to the X Terra Pro. The US Domestic manufacturers have be concerned. While they have seemingly become somewhat less involved in embracing the new technologies they are being passed by not by $1000+ Devices but by a sub $300 machine outperforming their most popular products in performance quality and price. My 2¢. Thanks Calabash! You da man. Can’t wait for the Live Show!
Looking damn good so far! Yeah this machine is going to hurt many competitor brands. I mean, how will the other companies rival this at this price point with what this can do? I don't see how!
recovery 1 5 kh, vs recovery 3 15 kh....makes a difference....on deep silver... 10 1/2 INGROUND plus I raised the coil look at the footage close I show the height..
Thanks this means i can go back to were i worked out area with the at pro and find what it missed ..this machi e is no joke thanks for sharing brother..
I don't know how Garrett and Fisher is still hanging in there. They better do something quick. I have all nokta detectors, happy with them all for there intended uses.
Just goes to prove when you push the "more for less"campaign, anyone can answer with actions and no social media hysteria. Looks like Minelab served lunch with a bag of chips.
@@davidbalfour6862 😂😂😂 XP are market leaders, I don't think anything touches the D2 as it stands. There are conditions in the real world that can render most machines unusable. The D2 has an answer for EVERY situation and not only that. It does it with ease.
This detector is being called an entry level machine. That has to be because of the price and maybe because it doesn’t have as many setting options as the higher dollar units. But it certainly performs like a top end machine
I don't need or want or the bells and whistles of the nox series I love the ergonomics tones depth of this and the nox series so THIS seems perfect for me
Maan! I really wanna buy the Simplex as my first good detector but...this thing seems to be too good to be true! I may just wait for a month or two until this thing hits the shelves here.
Simplex is good but, this took away the crown now. How could anybody not want this for a first detector? Works stable on saltwater beach, waterproof and, be able to select frequencies for type of hunting. Wow!
I would agree with you. But, Garrett still has AT Pro in the new line up. Calabash Just shows detectors like I do. We report you decide what to buy. Simple as that. Now, does anyone think a marketing rep from one company is going to admit publicly their unit comes up short in depth dept compared to Xterra Pro? I doubt it. So CD shows. And more actual truth is revealed. Folks can weigh and decide for themselves. Treasure magazine articles didn’t give info CD shows either. Think about that.
The AT Pro is such an outdated machine - you would have to be mad to buy one considering what the other options are out there. Garrett's attempt to bring their range up to date with the Apex failed monumentally - such a poor performance detector. God bless Minelab & Nokta for making the effort and innovating
The XTP is why competition is good for us consumers.
True!
Nice Point...Garrett has disappointed me over the last 20 years
Great back in the day.

Right on
Ordered mine Friday, will be here tomorrow can’t wait.
Cool!
I’d like to see the at max vrs Xterra pro…
Very nice video
Thanks
Just pre-ordered one in the Netherlands, this is impressive, like all your other tests with this machine, THX CD
Thanks!
Xterra pro or vanquish 440?
hmmm depends if you need waterproof or not..
@@calabashdiggeradventures i dont
Just wanting a machine i can leave in my truck all the time, scared to leave my D2 in truck
540
I would say it would outperform the vanquish series.
The big question is does it seperate as good as the D2? Im just saying because the Xterra is hitting loud and clear DEEP!
I would not expect it to mat h Deus 2 ops for iron/nonferrous separation.

What TN said.
I'm enjoying these reviews on the Xterra Pro. That machine is going to send Nokta back to the drawing board!
Nokta has three new detectors coming out in the simplex lineup.supposidly.
How is separation.
Competition is good, only will make MD machines better and better.
@@robertwolfe2971 I saw that. They have three new Simplex detectors

This Xterra seems to be Minelabs competition for the newly released Nokta Simplex Ultra.
Agree, but I don’t see the simplex ultra bein the same price point. I figure ultra will start at 400.00
Ain’t gonna lie it’s shaping up to be a good detector especially for the price point.
I’m looking forward to the separation, recovery speed & how it handles in heavy iron test.
Would love to see how both handle the hammered coin.

I will address this tonight..
There are all kinds out there with their crazy ideas.
Minelab X-terra wins hands down but the AT Pro is a dinosaur.👍🍺
Whats your thoughts on the xterra vs equinox 600 ?
I like multi..
Thats sick, a dime at 14 in.
Is it normal for the Xterra to be pretty much locked in at zero on the ground balance when in the beach modes?
It might not balance unless it is over salt water in the beach modes..
@@calabashdiggeradventures that's kinda what I was thinking.. thanks 👍

It has 3 year warranty..What else can you ask for ..$269 BUCKS..
@@calabashdiggeradventures
That’s true. Is it capable of updating software ? Just curious.

800
I’m getting one. Impressive depth. I think it would best the Simplex.
XTerra PRO's depth is impressive! How does separation/recovery speed compare with the AT PRO?
Similar from what I have seen so far.
Wow, that's impressive!

Is that a 14 inch dime or 11 1/2 inch dime ? Note your video from a day or two ago showed it barely hitting an 11 1/2 inch dime ?

Good comparison thanks!!!!!
Thanks for watching!

Will the x-terra hit the deep dime in 10 & 15 k?
Kilohertz
yes both
Thanks. Boy, if it had iron filter it would be a fantastic machine.
What about separation though? Just thought of that.
What I suspected when compared.
put my order in today, as a backup detector
Which company is taking preorders?
SIMPLEX HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST THIS BEAST..
Great detector for the money. Awsome value
Great comparison!
Thanks!
How would this compare to the Anfibio Multi? Just curious, thats a bit "newer" technology with a selectable frequency.
Depth very comparable..Edge going to Xterra...IMO just because of the clarity of the tones.
@@calabashdiggeradventures well, very interesting indeed.
Just goes to prove when you push the "more for less"campaign, anyone can answer with actions and no social media hysteria. Looks like Minelab served lunch with a bag of chips.
Im very interested in the Xterra vs the D2. Please do that ASAP. Thanks.
No...will not be doing that...
Might be embarrassing for xp

I think people automatically think if you don't pay an arm and a leg for a machine it's not going to be very good.. not so ..
Hey calabash could you run it against the equinox 800 to show. Us how it stacks up ?
No ..It not gonna stack up to the multi..
Thanks for info and time .
You bet!
8khz in beach mode? Why?
To make it stable is my guess..
What about running it in 15 khz in freshwater?
The Garrett just can’t compete with the $269 xterra pro. Thanks for testing.
Not even close/...
what is the weight of this and how does it balance and feel?
2 LBS 14 OZ...Ask this in the live tonight
Garret is an old heavy dinosaur
I had a Garrett 1500 with the so called treasure imaging what a piece of junk!! I would never buy another Garrett after that
Somebody get this man a Simplex and let the chips fall where they will !!!
Wherever they fall, you can 100 percent guarantee it will be with a huge headache.
Yeah but it don't have camo 😅
LOL
Or a free duck call. Lol
Maan! I really wanna buy the Simplex as my first good detector but...this thing seems to be too good to be true! I may just wait for a month or two until this thing hits the shelves here.

What Carl said...
Great review can't wait to see more
More to come!
AND this is supposedly submersible to 16 ft? Incredible if thats accurate
to be fair, AT Pro is 14khz. Test the Xterra on 15khz.
Still way deeper..
To be fair At Pro has no 5khz option. Xterra does.
Deeper higher conductors 5 kHz deeper. Even deeper than 14 kHz.
where is First Texas these days?
who
The Technology of each machine is 20 years apart.
It's unfair to compare a modern machine against a comparible dinosaur. 😂
I would agree with you. But, Garrett still has AT Pro in the new line up.
Calabash Just shows detectors like I do.
We report you decide what to buy.
Simple as that.
Now, does anyone think a marketing rep from one company is going to admit publicly their unit comes up short in depth dept compared to Xterra Pro? I doubt it.
So CD shows. And more actual truth is revealed.
Folks can weigh and decide for themselves.

Well if it’s suppose be a simplex killer let’s see them head to head , then try the new simplex to see who’s who, may the best machine win
Waste of time...look at the Beach video/
Why should this even be a comparison? lol. Garrett got left behind years ago imo.
TRUE..
oh yeah? does xterra pro has duck call feature? no it didn't.. at pro win..
LOL
Che video insulso.
Garrett 👍👍 TERRA PRO👍👍............ Simplex 👎👎👎👎👎
