How Did The V8X Coil Perform On The X-Terra Elite?

Using the V8X Coil on the Minelab X-Terra Elite Metal Detector while on my Sacramento California road trip. I metal detected a dozen residential parks in this episode! How did the coil perform?
The smaller coil does increase the time it takes to clear a tot lot but wow, I am amazed at how well this detector and coil performed! I was able to find the smallest targets and it did a fantastic job locating targets! I have to give it a thumbs up!
The Elite is about $479 but I feel the $599 price tag is not bad considering you get both coils and the ML-85 Wireless headphones.

I told you that you would love the elite. Especially the expedition pack with the 2 coils. Minelab hit a homerun with this detector. Looks like the Xterra Elite is now the bling ring king to swing

[@christinethestringbean]

Absolutely. It is so awesome.

[@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt]

The Elite seems to be a great detector !!!!

[@DigginSoCal]

So far, we are impressed by it. I was very happy with the small coil as well...

[@Chuck-js8dy]

Another awesome metal detector from Minelab. Kudos to Minelab

[@christinethestringbean]

Minelab really knocked it out of the park. I'm hoping one day we can partner with them.

[@stargazer279]

Morning Bill, nice hunt. I may consider the X-Terra

[@DigginSoCal]

The Pro has done a good job and Christine likes it but wow, the multi freq with the new Elite is even better.

[@melodycrapser7304]

Good morning Bill. Love the road trips❣️looks like a lot of finds. Stay safe

[@christinethestringbean]

He is having the best time!

[@bobbieherin1944]

Great hunt Bill, Looks like you did pretty good with that new detector. Enjoy the rest of your road trip. Stay hydrated out there in that heat. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@christinethestringbean]

He did!!!!!!!

[@detectorguy4565]

Nice hunt as Always with Diggin SoCal as he most always finds cool stuff. Nice hunt with the Minelab X-terra Elite and showing us the numbers as you hunted :) Yeah

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... I am impressed with the new Elite. It is doing a good job!

[@janas7088]

Great finds Bill. ITS THE WILLIAM SHOW.

[@christinethestringbean]

Every day. All day. The William Show. 24/7. 365 days, 366 on leap years.

[@Stack_Silver]

The new Xterra Elite seems to be a winner for SMF performance at a really great value. A few days ago I ordered it with the Expedition Pack and it is out for delivery at the moment for arrival today. I can’t wait to go detecting with it.

[@DigginSoCal]

I think you will really like it. That is the best setup if your gonna get one. I don't use headphones often but it is nice to get them with this package. Good luck on your hunts!!!

[@Stack_Silver]

@@DigginSoCal Thanks!

Hi Bill not to shabby hunt you did well in the heat good that you had your hat on. So you are having a good start with the ring count it would be nice if there was silver. Wow you hit a lot of areas. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@christinethestringbean]

He did so good. It's a limited time only for using the Elite. Ha! When he gets back-I'm taking over. Hahahaha

[@RoyWCanada]

I will look forward to that 👍

We used the larger coil at the beach which is in the previous video. They are both great!! I keep reminding him to drink lots of water.

You're doing really well on the rings and jewellery lately, Bill. That tot lot with the train and jail was way cute. Stay hydrated & Travel safe. 🙂

[@timtoth7086]

Another great hunt, like always. Keep up with the good work.

[@digginnorcal2770]

Hey Bill that was a good hunt and i cant believe we got kicked out of that one park though but it is what it is i guess lol but good hunt though and hopefully we can meet up on Friday morning and another hunt with you before you head back to L.A. and oh that X-Terra Elite is a really nice machine and it did a awesome job

[@christinethestringbean]

It seemed pretty fair considering there were so many people at the park. And some people aren't very good about making clean holes in soccer fields. Not to mention bringing large shovels into a park make the groundskeepers a little nervous.

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Hi Bill, that machine did really well. You found some cool finds. The amount of change you found was awesome. More rings and jewelry were good finds also. The tot lot that looked like a little town was really nice. Whoever thought of that did a great job. Have fun the rest of your trip and safe trip home. Take care.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much. I am diggin the Elite and the little coil. Def found more than I expected. Hopefully I can get out and do some more detecting so we have a Saturday video... Enjoying the family time. We are getting ready for a nice bike ride today.

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Thank you... very pleased with this detector and really like the small coil!!!

[@madmaxmetaldetecting119]

I posted my video with the X-terra Elite and the V8x and it was beyond stable, highly recommend this machine, way better than the X-terra pro

[@christinethestringbean]

I still like the X-terra pro, but the Elite is definitely an upgrade of it.

[@madmaxmetaldetecting119]

@@christinethestringbean I agree, not bashing the pro, just more stable VDIs

[@karenyoung1759]

Bill, Sterling Silver jewelry does tarnish. That chain could be Sterling. I have a jewelry cleaning cloth I use to clean my Sterling silver jewelry. That detector did a great job! Did you ever find 7 rings in one hunt before?

[@DigginSoCal]

I will be testing it when I get home but it does look more worn than tarnished. It is heavy so being silver would be sweet! Thanks. I have found more but it was during a several day hunt. Still need to get back on the gold... soon enough

[@KUHLFinds]

Great hunt!

[@christinethestringbean]

Thanks!!!

Hello Bill and Christine

Hi!!!

[@robertsanchez9030]

Great finds Bill, check the edges of of the dollar coins if there's no printing on edges could be a mint goof and worth some money. Hi Christine miss you on the hunt.

The William Show at its best. Nice finds, Bill.

Great video Bill, awesome finds! Best of luck on your hunts in Sacramento.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you. Hoping to get a little more hunting time Thurs/Fri... Gotta get out early to beat the heat for sure!

[@nvmetaldetecting]

Looks like a long day I know how those hot days are here in Vegas thinking about going out tonight with Robert, looks great that would have beat my ring total for the day my record is 5 so 7 is an awesome day even if a lot of them are kids rings

[@christinethestringbean]

A ring is a ring. Hope you and Robert did well with the hunt.

[@timb.162]

Awsome finds Bill congratulates on all the rings what a day

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks.... it was hot but fun. Once I got all sweaty it did not matter any more....lol. The best part of a blazing day is the playgrounds are empty which was good for me..

[@cowgirlcarson55]

Wow lots of rings

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you

We run the same size coils on a couple Vanquish detectors we have , they never come off , perfect size for parks and playgrounds . Nice hunt Bill

Yeah, I have the small coil for the Nox as well. It does really help around the toys. Thank you

Quite a few targets for one day I wish I could do that I love watching your videos

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much... started off slow but picked up as the day progressed. Love finding that last ring as I cut through the grass...lucky

[@adventureislife7793]

i like the looks of this detector

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome content

[@Trafcon]

The men's cuban style necklace looks exactly like the 24 inch one I found but mine is .925 silver.😊

[@stevewaters2974]

You hit 10 parks in one day. In high heat. What vitamins are you taking? Please tell us. Yes, the elite is a really good machine. I'm very impressed with mine also as there is really no need to buy one of their higher-end models with the way this performs. This machine does it all. And 7 rings has to be close to a record for one day. Nice hunt!

[@DigginSoCal]

I think I just get so focused. Lol. Just made sure I drank a lot of water between parks. I agree, the elite has proven to be a solid detector. I really enjoyed using it. I still hope to find gold before I leave the area. Gonna try and get out some more in the next couple days for a Saturday video then head home. Rode 18 miles today in the bike in preparation for the next hunt.

[@FloodGold]

Hey you’re in my neighborhood. Well, almost I'm in Fremont, haha. Maybe we should meet up and do some detecting? I just detected on the Santa Cruz beach today for 8 hours, and boy, I'm tired and sore.

[@christinethestringbean]

Make sure to hydrate. It's been so hot!!!

[@FloodGold]

@christinethestringbean Absolutely. Fortunately, Santa Cruz had fog for much of the morning, so it wasn't as bad.
