Die hard Nokta fan here , or so I thought so . I was so impressed with the latest minelab offerings I bought the xterra pro and the nox 700 . The quality of Minelab has improved substantially since I bought the Vanquish.

Definitely impressive!

[@richardnewcombe9449]

I bought my Terra Pro yesterday and as soon as i saw videos on it i knew it was going to be a winner. I will use mine almost always on the beach . It makes you wonder if you need a machine 3 or 6 times the price with only a few extra settings . The Terra Pro may actually be just enough.

Very nice video! I jumped on ordering an X-Terra Pro within 5 minutes of receiving an email that they were available at a particular dealer I was watching. It should be here on Friday. Minelab may have hit this one out of the park. I was considering a Simplex+, but according to all of the videos I've seen, there is no contest. X-Terra Pro wins hands-down. (I hate the tones of the Simplex+!) I also doubt that the Simplex Ultra will come close to the value and features of the X-Terra Pro. Nokta is not releasing any detailed info at this point on the new Simplex line.

[@michaelbariso3192]

The Minelab X-Terra Pro is very similar in air test depth as the Nokta Simplex, I'm sure the detection circuit is the same with the higher priced Equinox and Manticore models, if we the hidden service code menu for technicians, like televisions we could tweak up the sensitivity perimeters to 35 like the Manticore. Don't expect MinLab to offer a firmware update with a higher sensitivity as it would kill the sales of their Equinox Manticore. I would never spend more than $300 for metal detector, it's only a little box with one circuit board and a coil of wire, give me a break :-). This machine is awesome, why pay more!

[@IffySignals]

Thx Mike, good info 👍

[@uk-en6rm]

[@8kallday591]

This machine looks fantastic, I own a Simplex and love it. For me the fact that it doesnt come with headphones is probably a dealbreaker, so add $140 onto the price and I dont personally hunt with anyone that wants to hunt a trashy park with a 12" coil, so factor another coil on as well.. that said I am intrigued, time will tell!

Thanks for the recent batch of X-Terra Pro videos - I have one on the way, so they're really helpful. QUESTION: how did you setup your little demo/testing area? I think it would make a great video, and I'd love to see how you put it together. Also, I will be teaching local Veterans how to metal detect, and a simulation 'field/park' setup would be really handy for them to learn in a controlled, non-trash scenario. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@IffySignals]

Hi, i just took items and buried them at certain depths. I used the Equinox 800 for most of them with high sensitivity to make it difficult and others with with Deus 2 and Manticore. Some are near iron because i did not clean out the area to keep it as a real as possible. I used plastic pipe markers and plastic garden stakes.

This is not a "castrated" Equinox. It is a single frequency part of the Equinox but with uniques features and an optimized machine for a classic single freq. In fact, even if u put a single frequency on the nox...you won`t have an X-Terra pro. Don't judge the book by its cover. All ML models are different metal detectors.

If just Silver you can stick with a low freq of 5 or 10. Most likely 10 will stay the most stable for you and still be good at smaller goodies. If the ground is clean and not noisy recovery 1 and speed up if needed. Sensitivity will be based off emi on how high you can run it. Good luck.

[@stevewilson4071]

Great review of the Xterra pro. How does the swing weight compare to the 540 though? One reason I got rid of my vanquish 540 is the 12-in coil was just too nose heavy for my liking and this one looks like it has the same exact coil but it looks like a great unit for the price and I'd buy it if it's swung a little lighter than the 540. Nokta has some work to do on the new simplex coming out if they want to compete with this.

[@IffySignals]

Hey Steve, its nice. Feels better than the 600/800. They used the same layout on the new 700/900 and Manticore. I know what you mean, the 12” was a beast on the 540. My favorite for the 540 was the 10” which will be available for the xterra as well.

[@James-dtexTexas]

I agree that this is an exceptionally good machine and good for the competitive market in pricing. I also think, just my personal opinion, that Nokta is lagging in releasing more information about it’s competition too the Xterra with it’s new Simplex Ultra machine. Actually, I’m quite disappointed.

[@IffySignals]

You don’t have to, on the ML’s is optimal but if you notice ground noise when you raise or lower the coil then do a GB, it definitely does not hurt to do it on every hunt.

I am curious to see somebody look at the transmitted waveform under an oscilloscope. I have this wondering if maybe it's actually an SMF-light or diet-SMF detector that is using a rectangular waveform to achieve selectable single frequency and maybe it inherits some of the benefits from SMF that allows it to work well on the beach.

Hey John, it does not do anything more or better than the 800. It does have a wider Id scale to 99 but it is a single freq machine.

[@johnthomas327]

Thanks , that’s what I thought . It’s great for someone new to the hobby or a first machine and great price point . To me it looks like they copied alittle from the Whites and Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer and put it in a Nox Box’s . Multi Kruzer had 5-10-15 single frequencies . I told Nokta detectors to bring back the Multi Kruzer call it MKP multi Kruzer Plus or MK2 multi Kruzer 2 5-10-15 single frequencies and put it in a simplex box and shaft and components and sell it for 299.99 and then have a updated multi frequency with 3 single frequencies . Cause coming out with a single frequency machine is not enough now . I’m just trying to keep everyone honest . I got all makes and models . Garrett, whites , Nokta , Minelab , etc . All makes and models serve a purpose . Thanks again

Vanquish 540 and V10 👍 one of my favorite setups. Simple but deadly.

[@davidlewis9068]

@Iffy Signals yes my Vanquish is getting used. My parks are trashed and that 6-inch coil is really great. Now have one at home for the Equinox 700. The Xterra pro looks promising thought.

Iffy my xterra is acting odd i am getting a ton of false high tone signals. On the bench it airtests great 8f i wiggle the machine its stable but once swingin g over the ground. A ton of falsing but high tones not iron tone i check the same area with my legend and i dod get a couple ferrous tones. But not a ton of hifh falsing any ideas??? Thanks

[@IffySignals]

Not sure ice, is it inly at some locations? Maybe try dropping the sensitivity a bit. With it being a single frequency machine that could cause some frustration depending on site conditions. The Legend runs multi so it should handle a wide range of soil conditions with ease.

[@seandoyle6494]

Thanks for the videos, can you discriminate different numbers for example 1-20 discriminate 20-30 run it ect

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Sean, yes you can notch out whatever you want. The discrimination blocks run in 4 vdi segments.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Hey Mike I just thought of something.....will the equinox 7-900 deanos covers fit the xterra or the Manticore if we want to cover that control box up?

[@IffySignals]

Yes, fits perfectly on XTERRA, the Manticore Deanos makes one for.

Are minelab ml 85 headphones available in the states for the xterra pro . We can not purchase any in the uk at the moment.

[@IffySignals]

Hi Leonard, I’m not sure about the headphones. Hopefully they arrive soon.

[@aarronconkright999]

How come I’m not getting an iron tone with mine? Even when I change from field 1 to field 2 I can only get an iron tone when I accept everything in.

[@IffySignals]

Hi aarron, that is normal whatever you remove will be discriminated out unless you hit the horseshoe then it will give an iron tone. If i am understanding you correctly.

[@aarronconkright999]

@@IffySignals Yeah you’re right! Sorry I’m a complete beginner and just learning with my Xterra.

[@IffySignals]

@@aarronconkright999 np. Good luck 👍

[@mase202]

Im disappointed with my xterra. It falses unstable and Vdi jumps everywhere. I hope they can quickly push out an update

[@IffySignals]

Good luck Mase, having the 99 vdi will add to the jumpy vdi but yea i know what your saying.

[@johnp.2276]

Looking to buy xterra pro is it better then vanquish 540

[@IffySignals]

Im a huge fan of the 540. Xterra has more features and is waterproof but stability and being multi frequency the advantage goes to the 540.

[@donaldlee6699]

Competitors just met their worst nightmare! lol R O F L

[@IffySignals]

Looks like it, Nokta has the new Simplex lineup coming, so lets see what that offers. Not a peep from Garrett or Fisher in a while.
