I purchased my wife a Minelab X Terra Pro when they came out. Fantastic metal detector, such a great value. We have used it on the beach many times with great success. Also enjoyed seeing the CTX against the Manticore, very impressive. My Manticore has been a deep beast on the beach

The X-terra is quite a bargain for $269! It is only slightly behind the legend on the beach in terms of depth which is very impressive for that price point it may not unmask as well but If it came with wireless headphones it would be a steal! Great tests as always Calabash thanks for testing all these units

Great video C.B . This test scenario panned out more or less as I would have expected , I recently viewed a certain established youtuber who says he sold his manticore and D2 and now hunts with the legend , horses for courses I guess and while I've no doubt that the legend is probably the best bang for buck out there i reckon this youtuber is being honest but engaging in fallacy . The best is not always the most expensive for e.g The price tag of the C.T.X and heavens above the A.T Gold , The real proof is in performance as we seen today on those tests of yours . Best of luck .

It's amazing the Xterra pro matched the legend in the depth test. Single frequency, I think not! But as well as matching it for depth on the beach I found that it's more sensitive to small gold also. Of course it just can't compete in the iron. But if you're a beach and tot lot hunter there's really no reason to spend more.

And I heard the X-Terra Pro go off on the 12 inch Nickel it wasn't consistent but it did make a tone And Three blips and it was called that it didn't happen And Then Said 10" Was the Max then the Legend Detector on 28 Sensitivity and didn't know that the target is there until he fiddle's with the settings and he doesn't try that with the X-Terra Pro and rewatch it and you can hear it from the X-Terra Pro....8:49 time stamp and it's faint but it's heard and Why not raise the X-Terra Pro Up to 21 AND 8:16 Sensitivity Settings Graph is showing 3 blocks which means it's on 15 And Lower and on my X-Terra Pro and sensitivity of 20 Will still be showing that 20 sensitivity on the X-Terra Pro is 4 Bars Showing and Not the Same settings that you have said and are now Saying and showing us something else and that is what you are doing now and I didn't catch it on the earlier edit and Circle the X-Terra Pro on the target and help it like that you have done for the Legend Running it Hot 🔥 Detector ???? 🤔🤔🤔 🤔 And there's some Hoo Doo Voo Doo Going On Don't you think ???? Is Everyone's X-Terra Pro Faulty with the Sensitivity Settings Graph???? 🤔 Hmmmm ???????? Mine is 4 Bars Showing when I set it up for 20 Sensitivity.... 🤔.. and mine 11-15 is 3 bars showing up and the X-Terra Pro hit it with what you have shown in the video as being 20 , that makes it more than enough of a Detector that will hit the 12 inch Nickel And have the lower Sensitivity of 11-15 and 3 bars showing and still hitting the target 😮... And Minelab Detector's are the Best Thing for the Money X-Terra Pro.

Ok Carol ...I am going to tell you this one time and one time only! You ever come on here again and try get people to think I am hiding the results of one detector to make another detector look better and I am gonna BAN you forever from my channel....Take your Xterra to the salt water beach and set it up STABLE and tell me what the max depth is on a USA Nickel...The blips were not audible in the Headphones... The machine is silent with headphones on a 12 inch nickel...The Xterra Pro is a GREAT machine for the Money...Just a heads up it does not beat the Legend...I have tested and used the Xterra off camera on the Beach enough to know how to set it proper and fair to the other units..10 inch Nickel is the max depth on my Beach with good stable settings..BTW the legend can be ran at 28-30 sens and still be Stable..Get your facts straight! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

@@calabashdiggeradventures I was only going By what your showing on Film and 20 on the X-Terra Pro is 4 Bars Showing and you showed 3 bars showing and Saying it was on 20 but Showing 3 bars and I just noticed that and years ago I could have sent you a private message to tell you about it but KZbin has changed the way to get the message to you and I haven't figured out the Email Setup Yet. And To me it's odd that your X-Terra Pro has 3 bars showing up and it's on 20 and mine stop's showing up 3 bars At 15 Sensitivity and without any Headphones 🎧 on you can hear the sound of the X-Terra Pro Chirping Away on the 12 inch Nickel And Again Sorry if I was not the only one that was Hearing it and I don't have the X-Terra Pro Headphones Yet and I don't know if I would of been able to hear it but Your own Camera is picking it up and that's why the Speculation and it's a Great Detector that I have and I think it will compete but I don't have any kind of Salt Water Beach to Disprove your test results but the X-Terra Pro Tone's did sound off for the Camera and that's what I'm talking about and WHY Ban Me from this and the Critical Test that Others have Noticed it and the X-Terra Pro sounding off even though you haven't doesn't make Sense and WHY and go back and watch it again and you can hear it Tone off and yes it wasn't great but it does and very sorry for being so much Critical on Your Test Results 🤔.... And if it's Still on the 3Bars then it's A Very Powerful Detector that can hit a 12 inch Nickel And be on Sensitivity of 11-15 and 3 bars showing per your own Voice Statement of it being on 20 Sensitivity and Video Camera View of it..

I'll take accurate Target ID over a little extra sensitivity any day of the week. If your target id is not accurate, I guarantee that deep small gold is showing as iron on the screen. Seen it over and over, CZ21 did it, V3i did it, Equinox did it, Manticore did it, Deus 2 did it. They all started slowing lower numbers as targets get deeper, which means your small gold is now ringing up as iron. Sold my Deus 2, Manticore, CZ21, V3i, and Equinox. Sticking with the CTX, Sovereign, and Excal. I can trust those 3 machines.

I had a ctx since 2014 It’s good on depth heavy and slow and it would be nice if the software worked on apple and iPad. The manticore I now have as I sold the ctx with 17/11/6 coils It can’t see the ctx being far of the manticore in depth. It’s old technology. I am hoping a new ctx is made soon 💪

Just watched this test and I was impressed with the manticore and the deus 2, I had thought the legend would have hit the gold ring and the other surprise was the ctx. I have 2 of the machines in your test , the legend and the manticore, it just goes to show how technology has moved on in the last few years. I sold my ctx because of the weight issue and I always said if they'd made the ctx as light as the equinox I would have kept it. This has been an eye opener for sure,ps i wonder how the triple score and the Xterra elite, oh and the garrett vortex would fair in the same test?.looks like another videos on the cards bud. Keep up the good work we appreciate it!

Have you tried getting extra depth on the beach with the x-terra pro hunting threshold gaps? I was actually surprised the X-terra come so close to the legend for this depth test. Again, great work man.

I didn't catch if your nickles were buried flat or on edge? The gold ring? The more I think about it, several of the detectors responded poorly. The Score is pretty much as deep as Legend? I have a Legend and Deus2. No matter the settings, the Ledgend hits everything in my test garden pretty hard, several targets perhaps better than the Deus with 9 inch coil. After watching your tests, I'm about to dump the Legend for water hunting? I'm also surprised to see the poor CTX performance. I had 2 3030s and recall scooping some gold rings in shallow saltwater sand at an honest 17+ inches. Those rings hit good! I've scooped 20-inch deep gold rings with Excalibur and Garrett Infinium, but after years of use and response interpretation. There is no doubt the newer machines are far more sensitive to small gold and tiny junk targets, but your Legend test results made me not want to use it on the beach ever! Unless your targets were buried on edge? That would make a difference. If the Ledgend hits an 11-inch nickle on edge, well, that's darn good. I didn't spot how you buried the targets?

@calabashdiggerscubadivinga8523 Good to know, but again at your beach, the Legend performance seemed lacking. The 12-inch nickel really was not a solid hit. So you thought 11 inches. The Score hit 10 inches! That seems disappointing. I have scooped large gold rings in solid mud very deep with an Excalibur 800. I have been looking for a smaller travel detector for in shallow saltwater and was leaning towards the Ledgend. It's small, light, solid build and easy to charge. The Deus might perform better in Dive? But that dang antenna and plug choice! I'm just not that sure about the Legend anymore as my new water machine? Guess the only way to really tell is to try them both on my next Caribbean trip. Heck, perhaps I should be looking at the Manticore???

Manticore is the deepest...slight over Deus II...Legend is deep also...Would love to put it up head to head with Excalibur..

I had a CTX for years I used to run 17 coil it’s so slow and heavy. But wonder if it still matches the manticore with the 17 coil ?

Great testing! I can tell you one test where the Deus is way better… post storm wet sand.. usually leaves iron patches and black sand. The Manticore is not good in that case.. the Deus can pull targets out of the iron patches and black sand.

Where is the video on the showing the Legend deeper in all metal over ground out in the wet salt sand on a beach?...What you will get is a more unstable machine on the beach running it in all metal if you lower the stability down...No depth gain imo..

Manticore and Deus II both have low conductor beach programs which are way deeper but are a little more noisy...I can hit the 12 inch stuff with Deus and Manticore in their more stable programs also..Manticore video will be up soon showing this..
