Hello 😊 Nice to see the beach! Ahhh the learning curve.. yep, we all know that. 😊 Nice to watch.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi MsAliceinWonderland! Thanks for watching. Apparently I’m making the learning curve harder than what it should be. I should’ve know there sensitivity is too high. I’ve since lowered it to 13-15 and it’s helped with the chatter and pin pointing. Lol GL&HH! Jay

[@MsAliceinwonderland]

@@Gaptains_vloG wonderful news!!!

[@terrirogers6965]

A 3:12, I believe you are half way to china. I love my Xterra Pro, I rarely have my sensitivity higher than 12. I hate digging that deep in the soil. No real beaches near me, so I must dig the dirt. No wonder you pin point was so big with size of that tent stake. Hahaha

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi terrirogers6965! I’m really enjoying my X-Terra Pro too. Thanks for the great advice. I’ve since lowered my sensitivity to 13-15 and it’s absolutely helped with the chatter and pin pointing. I’m not a fan of digging these big deep holes. Once I figure out this machine I’ll tighten up these monster holes. 😂 Thanks for watching GL&HH! Jay

[@terrirogers6965]

@@Gaptains_vloG I did mean that you were digging too big of holes, who cares on the beach as long as you fill them. I meant that the targets were deep, and you were having to dig deep for them. Keep up the good work. The Xterra will sing if you get it over a coin or precious metal. I have found more rings with the Xterra than my Equinox 900. Just give it some time, and listen to the tones more than the VDI.

Hi Jay, it's been great seeing you making vids again and with the X-Terra Pro. Nice detector 👍

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Ray! I know it’s been a while. Thanks for sticking with me. GL&HH! Jay

[@raydigsdetecting]

@Gaptains_vloG Absolute pleasure Jay. Looking forward for more vids 👍😎

[@jasonbolduc5845]

Glad to see you back on the beach! The can slaw is frustrating,I had a ton today at Juno Beach.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Jason! I know it’s been a while. Thanks for sticking with me. I don’t mind digging all the junk. One time I was exhausted and heading back to where I started. I had a target with an unstable VDI. I walked about 10 yards before it started bothering me. I went back for it and it was a nice coin spill. I’ll always dig every target. 😂 GL&HH! Jay

[@PAPOLE1]

Hey Jay happy holidays to you and family enjoying your videos the chatter is need to lower a bit sensitive I have the same one and yes it is a good detector as you use it more you will learn more of it shake shake shake ! Thanks for the video.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi PAPOLE1! Thanks for the great advice. I’ve since lowered the sensitivity to 13-15 and it absolutely helped with the chatter and pin pointing. Happy holidays! GL&HH! Jay

[@oldpelon]

Nice hunt

[@FloridaSandHunters]

The Vanquish 540 and the X-Terra Pro are our go to Detectors. In Beach 2 mode in the water, we use a sensitivity of 14-15. Any higher and it constantly chatters. With Beach 1 in the dry, we go 19-20. We have dug some great stuff with both detectors

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Eddie and James! Thanks for the great info! I’ve since lowered my sensitivity to 13-15 and it’s helped with chatter and pin pointing. I’ll try to do better! GL&HH! Jay

[@martinbishop4279]

Hey Jay I love to see you back at it I hope everything is ok and you are doing well. As far as the detector being chatterie when the water is coming over the coil might try lowering sensitivity a bit and it will probably calm down I know that I have same problem with my 600 Nox and I will bump it down two or three digits from about 20 to about 17 or 18 on sensitivity makes a world of difference and I feel that any lost of depth is minimal. Keep on swinging and remember to make it fun and Happy Hunting 😊👍..

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Martin! I know it’s been a while. Thanks for sticking with me and the advice. I wasn’t used to messing with the sensitivity or having chatter. I was so excited about having a new machine that lowering the sensitivity didn’t dawn on me right away. I’m now swinging at 13-15 and it’s helped with the chatter and pin pointing. GL&HH! Jay

[@RIBill]

Those are some GIANT holes. I feel like there has to be an inuendo joke there, but I can't seem to think of it. For the water chatter, some dielectric grease on the connection might help.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Apparently I have the sensitivity too high. It’s causing chatter and the weird pin pointing. Lol

[@terrirogers6965]

Take the Xterra to a park\ tot lot. Turn the sensitivity to 6-8, all metal mode, ground balance and noise cancel. You will be able to get right next to the poles and toys and still pickup targets without digging up all the fabric staples. Good luck.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Ill have to try this when I take the Xterra to a park. Thanks for this most excellent advice! ☺️

[@frankheinrichs515]

Greetings Jay, nice to see you back. I Can't help wondering if your new detector is finding all the tent pegs that the Whites missed? It looks like you are digging deeper then you used to. Good luck luck with your new machine! Northwest Coast Frank. (Still using my old Treasure Pro).

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Frank! Of course I remember a fellow TreasurePro detectorist for the PNW. Once I figure out this new machine, I’ll have a rotation including the TP and MX7. Thanks for sticking with me! GL&HH! Jay

[@Artook]

Hi,Jay. Thanks for getting those vampie killers you called nails out of the beach sand. Tent pegs are the most annoying of all digs in beach metal detecting.

[@carolrice2063]

I also have the X-Terra Pro and the jumpy VDI numbers will mean it's a JUNK Target And not a Coin target and I have started with 12 Sensitivity in Dirt and until I got to understand what the X-Terra Pro was trying to tell me about the target and I have raised the Sensitivity up to 18 now and 30's are always can slaw and Jumpy

[@FloridaSandHunters]

Totally agree

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Carol! Thanks for watching! Thats some great advice! I don’t mind digging unstable VDI targets. Sometimes those are coin spills. Plus it would bother me not seeing what’s in the ground. Lol GL&HH! Jay

[@carolrice2063]

@@Gaptains_vloG A Coin Spill will have a Higher Level of Tone unless it has some additional metal besides the Coins and what is the Settings that you are using for the Swing Speed and Recovery Speed and have you checked yet and there's more hidden features that I wasn't aware of until I watched more videos of the X-Terra Pro and ALOT of people don't know what the X-Terra Pro can really do and complain about the jumpy VDI and in the hidden features you can change some stuff to help.... but my ground is different than what others have to deal with and what works for me May not work for you and I love the ALL Tone's and it's different than the 5 Tone's setup....

[@ParkMetalDetecting]

CD just did a huge beach shoot out with the X-Terra pro included. It was hitting a nickel at 10" but he didn't raise the sensitivity past 20 even though it was stable. I think it would of hit the 12" nickel at 22 sensitivity? How high can you go at the beaches you detect at and still remain stable?

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Ken! Thanks for watching! I’ve since learned that my sensitivity is too high and lowered it to 13-15 and I’m still finding deep targets. I’ll try to video how deep the X-Terra can find coins. Now I’m curious. 😂 GL&HH! Jay

[@carolrice2063]

Well that test results you can hear the sound of the X-Terra Pro sound off on the 12" inch Nickel And it was only 3 blips and he said that it didn't happen and then he takes the Legend Detector on the same exact targets and it came to the 12" nickel And it doesn't sound off until he raised the Sensitivity up and he doesn't help the X-Terra Pro but only the Notka Lineups Detector's 🤔.... so they have a advantage and how many more Updates for the Notka Lineup Detector's and A update for the X-Terra Pro is Not Necessary for it...

[@kimberlymccloud8955]

You may need to lower your sensitivity to stop the chatter. Water detecting is a little bit noisier. Even when im in the dry by the pier, i have to lower it to about a 10 just to cancel out all the noise coming from it.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hi Kimberly! Thanks for the solid advice. I’m not used to messing with the sensitivity or having chatter. It’s something that I should’ve thought of. I was thrilled at having a new machine. 😂 I’ve since lowered my sensitivity to 15 and the chatter is mostly gone and pin pointing is better. Thanks for watching! GL&HH! Jay

Howdy, Leann! 😂

[@lje87602]

Jay, look at a Nokta Legend, they got a Xmas deal with everything, no chatter, stable VDI, depth, visual iron filter and more.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

@@lje87602 Hey Len! Slow down. I gotta get used to this machine. 😂

[@SoFloSteve]

Can slaw and tent pegs the staples of a good diet. If I may suggest, look up Mental Metal as he has some very nice in-depth videos on the Xterra. He shows the settings and fine tunings that really help.

[@Gaptains_vloG]

Hey Steve! You know it! I’d hate to leave any targets, especially can slaw and tent pegs on the beach. Not knowing what the target is would bother me. Lol GL&HH! Jay
