I'd chose the X-Terra Pro for its 'waterproof-ness.' Also, the VDI scale is the same as all the other 2023 & later Minelabs. Then I'd constantly regret not having multi-frequency (like the 540) and would end up buying an X-Terra Elite...and then I'd realize that I should've saved for a 900 or Manticore instead. 😳
I enjoyed seeing both in action. How did they feel to use? Did you notice differences as you were using them? Were you more confident with one over the other?
I have a question….. which one seems to be easier on your arm to use? The S shaft or the straight shaft? I am trying to decide if I want a straight vs the S. Wondering what you think? Thanks!
Im so use to the 900, but of them feel a little heavier and less rigid. I prefer the feeling of the X-Terra because my hand and arm are in the same position as the 900. The Vanquish I run the shaft a little shorter so the coil is closer. It works well like that but my swing pattern isn't as wide.
i never used a metal detector before but was gifted a (sunpow ot-md09) is it a unit you've heard about before? curious if its a decent one and worth the beach trip😅
@@justua1992 give it a try, I’m sure you will find things. Go slow and just dig everything that makes repeatable sounds. You’ll learn what the machine is capable of. Stick to the dry areas, most of the lower price machines have trouble in the water.
Fast sweep 😂 cover ground fast. Pro. My coins gold ect. Beach 2 ground balance say ya get 58 take it to 80 plus button. Sensitivity 18 volume 23 advanced volume hold cog wheel in split second now take T1 TO A 25 OR16. THRESHOLD =0 . TARGET TONE 5 . ACCEPT REJECT ALL IN NEGETIVE 16 TO 99 . RECOVERY 3 OR 2😂. MAKE IT WORK HARD SENSITIVITY KEEP LOW SET AT 18 GIVES A GOOD 8 INS. HAVE TRACKING ON. LOL THEN EVERY 20 MIN CHECK TO SEE WHAT GROUND BALANCE IS SAY EVERY 100 FEET IF NOT 80 TAKE IT UP TO 80.😂😊
On the pro our 1 and 2 dollar coins hit the 21 or 22 both have 6%ally truly made for our coins. Your coins must have a a good %of zinc and nickel to go to 29.😂
TEST BEACH ONE OR TWO . NOTCH IN ONLY ALL NEGETIVE PLUS 1 2 4 6 7 8 9. THE REST OUT. I WONDER WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT DO A 2.5 HR HUNT. AND EVEN IN PARK GIVE IT A CRACK.😂
either way it was a great hunt for both detectors Eric. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks 😊
It's been a while... nice running into you guys on the beach the other day! 🙂
Yes it was! You were killin it!
Great comparison video Eric thanks for sharing 👍 Love my 540 for park hunting
the tones and numbers are nice and tight.
Great Test great video Respect from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
thanks😊
X Terra pro is a great machine
yup!
Two great detectors. I use the xterra and James uses the 540.
We have been very successful with both of them.
We are a Minelab Team for sure!
It always take me a few targets before I remember the 540 ID's, but it doesn't take long😊

It's almost like they designed this that way to get people with a head on shoulders to pay more and everyone else payes out twice.. 3 times haha
Like most products, especially tech, they develop levels of features. When we start at the bottom we end up with FOMO🤣

different but both work well. the vanquish has tighter numbers and beeps, the Xterra is waterproof. Find good stuff with either one!

@SeekandDetect awesome will do thanks for the advice I'll try it out a couple times 🤞 if I find sum gold I'll find this message and let you know 😅 👍
@ yes please do! Good luck out there😎
Nice hunt thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great comparison
thanks
That is good even in parks. With tracking on. Good cold night hunt go 8 sensitivity.
Top vid to see that in another part of the world.
The 540 could have been a classic if only they made the control box waterproof. It's a great machine until it gets flooded.
ya, simple to use and works well. I believe I saw one mounted in a waterproof box. I forgot where I saw this.
So got it 1.00 is 64 vdi . 2.oo coin 70 vdi or 68 if oxidation is high.
Sensitivity start at 10 to 14 make the pro work.
Thanks for the video,hope to meet you in huntington one day
if you see me out there be sure to stop by and say hi!
The jumpy numbers drive me crazy but the fact you can throw it under the shower after getting it covered in crud and sand +++
My 900 almost got sucked away by a wave last weekend, good thing my wired headphone were connected or I may have had to go on a swim😂
@SeekandDetect The water is way to cold here in the uk fir anyone to go swimming. shame really... but we do have lots of really old stuff to dig up!😝
Part of me wishes for global warming so we can go get me some gold chains an rings at the beach! :D
Set up is the go.😂
Ps last 14ct pen Parker was at 10ins wet sand vdi was 47. Pen came in at 380.00 mark.😂😊.
Santa Monica in the morning.
good luck!
Cheers mate.😂
Yep 64 for 2.oo dollar coin. 69 for 70 for newer 1.oo coins.🎉. Had a program will look for it no noise cancellation as well ???😂
Shit I was wrong on that that's the 800 lol I am a idiot vdi numbers must be 60ies very close any how it can come down to set up as well of machine. 😂
I’ll stick with my Nox 900
What about the manticore!😁
The bracelet is a Cartier knock off until proven otherwise!
we'll have to see what the appraiser says🤣
@@SeekandDetect 🤣
What would they be after.?????????????.😂

On land 540
i kinda agree with you!😀
On the pro our 1 and 2 dollar coins hit the 21 or 22 both have 6%ally truly made for our coins. Your coins must have a a good %of zinc and nickel to go to 29.😂
our clad is copper and nickel mostly
@SeekandDetect our one and 2 dollar coins have a % of copper as well old silver here has a 2 types of silver true silver that is.
@SeekandDetect 1966 back 1 and 2 cent coins very high content of copper.
@SeekandDetect SEE AS WELL DEUS NUTS LOVE THAT 10KHZ FOR BEACH 🏖 PARK AFTER DEEP COINS IN A MILD MODE.
