[@madmaxmetaldetecting119]

Testing my ELITE tomorrow, so excited

[@MentalMetal]

Its a nice machine.

[@larrylogan6715]

My elite is coming today 🎉for the wife, love my Manticore for me, thanks for all the great Videos!!!

[@MentalMetal]

thank you sir for you support. My pleasure.

[@Stack_Silver]

What a great time to be a Medal Detector buyer! The Elite is such a capable machine at a great value thatI could not pass up the opportunity to purchase a new Minelab Xterra Elite Expendition Pack which includes the V12X Coil with Skidplate, the V8X Coil with Skidplate and the ML-85 Wireless headphones.

[@MentalMetal]

Awesome I hope you enjoy it.

[@Stack_Silver]

@@MentalMetal Thanks MM!

[@Chuck-js8dy]

Wow, extremely impressive

[@MentalMetal]

I was surprised myself

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

Your tutorials and guidance are very helpful. I'll be testing out my new Elite this weekend. Thanks.

[@MentalMetal]

Thank you. I hope you like it.

[@madmaxmetaldetecting119]

Informative video, single frequency works well in East TN soil, would like to see more of the screen if possible, keep it up buddy

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks!

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for vid and information seem like good machine. Thanks Rocky for your involvement of making this vid great.😂

[@MentalMetal]

haha thanks!

[@mattiecreates]

Im torn , is it worth going with an equinox or just get this? would you say their performance is pretty much the same. ( i use to have a 600 but sold it and i want to get back into metal detecting)

[@MentalMetal]

I personally love the 900 but the Elite is very capable machine you just don't have some of the key configurations that I prefer.

[@miragexl007]

Thanks. Procrastinated on the Pro since last year. Like the price for what it was/is BUT actually decided on the Elite because of the multiQ with them saying it doesn't jump as much.. So the expedition pack adding 3 extra things i considered getting anyway Which adds up to About three hundred bucks.. Which would make the detector 300 bucks..Not much more than the Pro Anyway.

[@OP-Taylor]

great video, the performance is very good. Decent machine in the price range.

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks man!

[@RobStuartJR]

Looks like a great machine.

[@MentalMetal]

It really is a nice machine for the money.

[@robinknight8896]

Is this the best detector for the price?

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Some Good stuff. The 700 does it do just as good if not better. Just wondering. I know you have the 900 and there is a slight difference in the 2. thanks for doing these test videos.. Happy Hunting. Peace

[@MentalMetal]

There is a big difference in customization features between the Elite, 700, and 900. If I had to pick one and money wasn't an option I would pick the 900 just because I can craft custom programs where I'm limited the others. Performance wise the Elite and 700 are pretty close.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@MentalMetal Thank You ..

[@rudjard]

you pro'ly gonna hit that dime and nail better with recovery speed of 1, my Xterra Pro struggles hitting a walker half 7.5 inch deep with two nails on top. the update helps better tho.

[@toddclarke2348]

The Elite is just a pro with multi IQ. Given the name "Elite" Minelab should have added a 20khz and a 40khz single frequency to match the 3 single frequencies on the pro but higher frequency for gold on the Elite. Just my opinion.

[@MentalMetal]

maybe they will update in the future

[@andrewwilson8317]

If they did that they would harm sales of the 700? It has to sit in the bracket above it and the elite can’t be a rival?

[@SpectraV3i]

Yeah, 15 khz is a good frequency. My MXT Pro used to kill it and that runs 15Khz, well until it was stolen.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

Looks like a decent little machine.

[@MentalMetal]

I think it is for the money

[@SteveMiller-yw7kv]

Looks to me like this vdi is just as jumpy as the Xtp in the single frequency..

[@PickinPins]

I believe Recovery #1 is deepest no?

[@MentalMetal]

If you lower your recover speed, yes you will get additional depth. Maybe a half inch or inch extra but nothing earth shattering.

[@PickinPins]

@@MentalMetal Gotchya. 👍

[@miragexl007]

Thanks.. Was curious. If it's a big difference.​@@MentalMetal

[@brettellis1837]

See alot sensitivity they up it thinking it is volume lol 😂..

[@VaDirtfishing]

Not worth the upgrade

[@MentalMetal]

Others would disagree
