About Treasure Box With Mark Dayton:
Mark lives in California right in the heart of Gold Country and spends most days searching for long lost mining camps from the 1848-1865 era. He is also an avid and very successful gold prospector that uses metal detectors and dives underwater in rivers, creeks and streams for gold. However, whenever a witnessed meteor gets sighted, Mark is in a small group of meteorite hunters that travel the globe looking for freshly fallen rocks from space. Mark is very well known in the meteorite community as well. Mark runs a website called ExpertDetecting.com where he teaches courses related to many facets of treasure hunting, detecting, prospecting and even hunting meteorites.
Mark has been a treasure hunter for 35+ years and is a published author and expert in using metal detectors. Spent all of his adult life as a Firefighter-Paramedic in California. He is also a very busy professional musician (in one of California's premier country bands). Mark has appeared on several TV shows, radio shows and podcasts. He is a frequent speaker at many detecting clubs and conventions and is highly sought after for speaking on the subject of field research and metal detecting. Here on KZbin you get to tag along on Mark's epic adventures!

Hey Mark... I'm probably not your intended audience for this particular video but this was an exceptional educational vid for the beginner Xterra Pro user and/or park hunter. Good stuff... your vids are always top notch no matter who the intended audience is! 🙂

[@BrassMedic]

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind comment to me. It is heartfelt. This video is definitely for a certain audience but again for you to take the time to comment on it to say that means a lot!

[@DugMcClure]

Thanks for highlighting and promoting responsible digging practices. The hobby needs to see that in action. HH!

[@BrassMedic]

I sincerely appreciate the kind comment. Thank you for watching!

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

Thanks for your advice and tutorials. Very helpful and informative. Just received the Elite model and will be out with it soon. 😊

[@BrassMedic]

Awesome, I have the Elite and it's a fantastic machine. I have a new video coming out this week showing unboxing, assembly and all settings. This machine is very capable and bang for the buck it's a fantastic, advanced detector that will find you lots of quality finds! Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment! Lmk how you do with it!

[@ericg.711]

Actually I did buy this for my wife at Christmas. It also works great as a spare machine to keep in my vehicle for unexpected digs. I appreciate that you always emphasize proper etiquette in you videos - great examples given. Mine Lab should give out free piggy banks for clad with every ML XTP purchase :) Keep up the great work, Mark! Thanks!

[@BrassMedic]

Yes this metal detector is definitely a coin magnet, especially in park one search mode with 10kHz. This is a fantastic machine to have around as a backup or for a family member, a friend or a visitor! Thank you for the view and for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@TheKelvinf]

Hi Mark from UK. Just got my X-Terra Pro so eager now to get out there and put your suggestions into practice TY.

[@BrassMedic]

Outstanding congratulations it's a fantastic machine and you will find many Treasures with it. I'm really excited when people buy this machine because I know that they won't get frustrated and give up on the hobby because the machine is so capable. Thank you for the view and for checking in from the UK I wish you all the best of luck!

[@SlimShady-sn1lz]

I've really been enjoying your videos. Thank you. The 10 tips encouraged me on being honest with what you find on their land. Could you tell me how to write up a liability document?

[@maciejruzik8439]

Jak zwykle, dobry film ibardzo pomocne informacje👍👍Serdecznie pozdrawiam.

[@BrassMedic]

Thank you sincerely for the view and for your kind words!!

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Nice to see u explaining the machine! :) Great video.. Cheers from heavymetaldetectingcouple!

[@BrassMedic]

Thank you for watching the video! And for your kind comment, wishing you guys the best of luck!

[@oldpelon7623]

Great video

[@BrassMedic]

Thank you sincerely for the view and for your comment!

[@usmc6157]

Good vid!

[@BrassMedic]

I sincerely appreciate the view and your comment!

[@rickkeifer5928]

It looks and sounds like my Nox .But thanks Mark I learned something I've been swinging my Manticore so much I forgot how to turn auto track on on my Nox.

[@BrassMedic]

I do love my Manticore right now as well!! Happy to have helped. Thank you for the view and comment!

[@USNVA-yn6cp]

if you are using auto track on ground balance , why pump the machine?

[@alirezaabotalebi4095]

Hi Mark, please guide me. Is Extra Pro assembled in Malaysia or Australia?

[@Relicgarden]

A bit off topic but could you possibly do a review and opinion on the XP ORX with the LF coil?. That would be nice, I’ve looked and can’t find anything by you on the ORX in general. Thanks have a gr8 day.

[@BrassMedic]

I did have that machine for a while and I did like it unfortunately I don't have it anymore so I won't be able to do any videos with it but I appreciate you viewing this video and taking the time to leave a comment I do highly recommend the orx though it's a fantastic machine

[@rn8haliacmon]

Hi people.. I'm interested in buying another coil for my XTP. I'm mostly interested in stabilizing the VDI. I'm between Coiltek's Nox 10x5 and Minelab's EQX 11. How these two compare?

[@zimmyman564]

What pin pointer do you use and does the detector have pin pointing and can i use a regular plug in head set? I would love to get this machine but can not afford all the wireless headphone stuff. Love the vid though very well put together and informational. Thnk you.

[@54cal54]

Looks like a XP mi-6 pinpointer. The detector does have pinpointing and yes you can use wired headphones with a 3.5mm plug, it's not waterproof though.

[@seanstilgoe9815]

Hi mate Was just wandering if you can give me some advice on this. My detector seems to go crazy every time I try use my Pinpointer

[@BrassMedic]

Hi, yes, it sounds like they are on the same frequency. So depending on what brand/model of metal detector you have and even the pinpointer you can change frequencies on either the machine or the pinpointer to stop the crosstalk. Lmk what machine and pinpointer you have and I can give you more advice on how to do that. Thank you for the view and comment!

[@claudepotter7763]

Can you do a video on how to hook up the wireless bought a pare but can't seem to get them pared up

[@BrassMedic]

That's a great idea I will do a short video tomorrow on this and post it on the channel so make sure to watch for it. It should be a breeze after watching my short video. Thank you for the view and for your great suggestion!

[@digginnorcal2770]

Hey Mark i have the Minelab X-Terra Pro machine also and i love it but i don't turn the threshold on cause it is annoying to listen to but i have found some good stuff with it

[@BrassMedic]

Yeah one thing that I should have pointed out in the video it is not a true threshold so they're almost as really no reason to have it on unless you want to hear the threshold brakes over iron so that you know when you're in heavy iron. But some people just can't handle the constant sound of a threshold no matter how useful it is. I totally get that! Thank you for leaving a comment and for your view!

[@SlimShady-sn1lz]

I wish i got better pinpointer, my minelab 35 one was 100 bucks n it basically has to be touching metal to go off

[@ziadkhoury3429]

Hello, could you provide information about the maximum depth this machine can detect metal or gold? . thank you

[@BrassMedic]

The maximum depth really depends on the size of the item or Target and the size of the coil on the machine those are two major factors. Generally speaking you can detect a coin size object at a distance that is the length of the search coil Plus the width of the search coil divided by two. I hope this makes sense. Larger targets can be heard deeper and smaller targets are not as easily detected. This machine has very good depth for this budget range and is absolutely one of the best machines that you can buy at this price this includes depth of detection. Thank you for your view and for your question!

[@dinwiddie69]

Hey mark! Do you need to factory reset when you change out your coil? Thanks

[@digginnorcal2770]

No need to factory reset when changing coils all you do is change coils and your good to go

[@digginnorcal2770]

But it also depends on what kind of metal detector you have??

[@dinwiddie69]

@@digginnorcal2770 nox 900

[@BrassMedic]

It looks like others I've already answered this for you, so no need to do a factory reset when you change your coil. I will say that just so you know you can use Equinox coils on your Xterra Pro but not the other way around. In other words your Equinox detector will not recognize the extra Pro coil. Thank you for the view and for your great question!

[@damjoseph327]

Just wondering what pin pointer are you using

[@BrassMedic]

I own and use them all at different times. I have Minelab Profind 35's, Garrett AT Pro pointers, Deus MI-6, Fisher F-Pulse and Nokta Accupoint. I would have to go back and watch the video to see what pain point I was using on the day that I made that video. Thank you for the view and for your comment / question!

[@SeregaKusj]

hi, strange situation with x-terra pro, it seems that this detector doesn't see large targets made of aluminum, brass, copper and other non-iron metals! can you check this?

[@BrassMedic]

Thank you for the view and comment/question! This sounds like there is a problem with the coil not being plugged/screwed in all the way, or another problem with coil damage or perhaps machine damage? This machine excels at detecting large conductive targets and they will sound off loudly!! Please contact your dealer and see if that can help you troubleshoot your problem. This is not normal at all!

[@SeregaKusj]

​@@BrassMedic how big items you checked? problem not only with my detector, a lot of people have already noticed this... for example, ww2 aluminum flask, x-terra pro see only on 5kHz, on 10 and 15 no any reaction, non ferrous metals targets, larger than flask, not visible at all frequency!

[@diyweapons3934]

I keep,getting 90s any where i detect is it normal

[@BrassMedic]

No!! Not really. I'm not sure what's going on maybe you have your sensitivity up too high? It seems this machine really likes it sensitivity down around 20. You might be in an area where there's a lot of nails as well which can show up with high numbers I just don't know how to diagnose your problem without being there. It is a fantastic machine very capable and it will find treasure I highly recommend it to everybody. But I just don't know how to answer your question. Thank you for the view and for your comment!

[@brettellis1837]

Yeah swing speed go slow why. Out in mar baker country fresh water stream 8 ins deep Jin clear water washed rock bottom under it white clay. First 50meters into hunt 1937 crown mint condition. 3 meters on 1919 half penny cw😂 yes way that's 21.000 cheers love ya work top tips.😂. Stay safe.

[@BrassMedic]

Halo dan terima kasih telah menonton video saya dan meninggalkan komentar dari Indonesia. Ada versi baru dari mesin ini yang disebut Minelab X-Terra Elite, ini merupakan peningkatan besar dari X-Terra Pro. Tapi itu lebih mahal. Jika Anda dapat menabung cukup banyak untuk mendapatkan X-Terra Pro atau Elite, Anda akan mendapatkan hasil yang sangat baik. Saya harap Anda dapat segera mendapatkannya dan memeriksanya kembali sehingga saya dapat membaca beberapa kisah sukses Anda. Sekali lagi terima kasih telah menonton video saya!
