Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 22 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

Merrill, your videos, voice, inflections, explanations and overall enjoyable demeanor are the best of all KZbin detector channels. Excellent!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@0Logan05]

The “H.A.Goodman” of Metal Detecting!.. Seriously!

[@MD-NWWI]

I have an xterra pro as a backup. If you hunt in all metal mode and all tones is a great machine and does very well. Listen to the tones, don't watch the numbers. I used it at an old homesite loaded with nails and it did a great job picking out relics in the iron.

[@crazycressy7986]

Everyone should not look at numbers ,they need to use ears only

[@carolrice2063]

And just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and the jumpy VDI is only present for when you get to a Junk Target Signal and I have the All Metal Mode On and now the iron grunts will actually help.... and I have my X-Terra Pro set at 12 Sensitivity and then the jumpy VDI is so beneficial to determine the targets is good or JUNK......

[@MontereyMagnetMan]

I’m looking to buy a White’s Surfmaster PI… I watched a guy pull a ton of targets I couldn’t hear with my Equinox 900 off a beach I just hit. Those PI machines handle the black sands like a champ.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I have heard the SAME THING!!!!!

[@clivenewcombe6676]

Stright talking, no BS, funny, a detecterist for the people. Your a asset and a great knowledge provider. Keep doing what your doing. 👍. Big Clive. England.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

HONORED Clive!! Thank you!

[@johnmadill8344]

Thanks Merrill. I bought an X-Terra Pro a couple of weeks. The numbers were all over rhe place. For me and in the videos i watched. People say ignore them, just use tones. Or cut your sensitivity in half. I know numbers aren't everything but they ought to be in the ballpark, not ranging from the 30s to 80s on one target. Took it back to my dealer and swapped it for a Nokta Score. Time will tell but you were spot on when you compared it to a Vanquish for simplicity.

[@MikeyG-MD-LI]

I love my Simplex plus but I am definitely leaning towards upgrading to a legend

[@coronadorec]

I have a Legend and a 700 and my beach experiences have been pretty much that they are similar in what they pick up and depths, though the Legend has not had as much noise chatter in higher sensitivity than the 700. Each one has its quirks and practice is the best teacher.

[@cruikshank]

Thank you 🙏 for keeping us in touch with the latest in detectors and cutting thru the hype. I love your channel. I have the first gen Simplex Plus and thought when I earned it, the Legend was my next move. Now Nokta & the X-Terra Pro have muddied the waters. My concern with the X-Terra Pro is Minelab’s previous issues with leaks & broken coil mount ears. I don’t believe Nokta has had such issues. I’ll be checking out your X-Terra Pro review. Dave in PA

[@carolrice2063]

Well if Merrill can lower the Sensitivity down below Full Sensitivity and he will not loose any depth that I have noticed when I'm using the X-Terra Pro and the lower sensitivity the X-Terra Pro can process the info that it's getting better when it's not that far from full sensitivity and I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and I have been digging up ALOT of 6 inch range targets but I'm not in a good Area of Old Coins Yet but it's a good practice to know what the X-Terra Pro is capable of telling me about the target and then the lower sensitivity is still capable to get the targets...... and I also had the Simplex + original and it would find the Targets but instead I got tired of hearing the Duck Squawk Tone's and They are still present in the New Simplex Lineup and the Quarter Tone Targets that are actually a Iron Target that has the same exact number and Tone of the quarter and the ALL Metal Mode was a 5 button push from Park 1 and then it's a Single Tone and Program And the X-Terra Pro is a 1 Button Push to use it and I can have the ALL Tone's setup and I don't have to Stop swinging just to turn it on and off and then you can look at the Notka Macro Detector's lineup and it's still a separate program and X-Terra Pro is more User Friendly Detector and Everything Else that is Minelab and I should of been looking at Minelab Many years ago but when Garrett Detector's where on every TV show back when I was growing up and that's what you bought and grew up with but after I had the X-Terra Pro and A Equinox 600 in my Hands and the Simplex + , and a Number of Garret's and one is the GTI 2500 I prefer the X-Terra Pro and I would love to have a Spare and the only thing that is a little problem with the X-Terra Pro is No Headphones for it yet and if you have time to go look at Notka Macro Website and They have already Discontinued the Simplex + as of 2021..... and The No MORE Updates for it to help with the Simplex EMI Problem's that I have encountered......

[@jffbrk1]

I bought a Nokta Gold Kruzer … question Is it as effective for silver as gold at deeper depths on the beach?

[@TheSluicers]

What a video, very well made bro. Wasn’t that excited about it when I saw the title as I’m not in the market for a new detector but boy you managed to make it such a great video. Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Sluicers!!!

[@ParkMetalDetecting]

Interesting video Merrill. Still waiting on that "true and honest" depth comparison against the Xterra pro as I've seen a ton of test that are not done correctly, obvious bias! i.e. there ground balancing over obvious metal. Was thinking on getting the new Simplex but not sure I can handle that annoying high pitch squawk 😂 so I can do some of my own testing... please save me some money! 😉 PS that Nokta pinpointer does sounds interesting! $?

[@jimcollins9999]

Thank you mate! NOKTA IS Definitely a contender! 👍

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

No doubt!

[@aart1968]

Hello Merrill , first of all I have to say that I like your videos. Can I get your take on the following ? I live in the Netherlands and I have been searching since 1991 . I have had only Whites detectors .The last two were the Eagle Spectrum and XLT. I didn't do any searching for the last 10 years but I want to start again now and then ( not so much as in the '90s ) . I noticed that Whites is gone and a lot of new detectors are out there. My XLT screen shows lines and I can't find any replacement on the internet. I can buy a second hand DFX for €400 but would this be a good choice because of the choices in newer detectors.... What could be better ? My budget is around €600 . I can spend more but I know that I am not going to use the detector that much. Maybe I will be searching on the beach for a change ( the XLT wasn't that stable on the beach ) but most of all I will be in parks / Forrest. What's your recommendation ? Greetings Aart

[@amazingcolonelangus4535]

Lol Bevis and Butthead are hilarious. Mr. Anderson: "Damn kids whacking off in my tool shed"

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Aww Mr. Anderson!!!

[@richardhartwick8875]

Appreciate your content! I'm a budget detectorist who has an original Simplex. Was thinking of saving and snagging a Legend, but I think I'll have to wait now. Happy hunting! Thanks for your content and thanks for being a teacher. That is definitely a tough job. God bless!

[@socaldetecting]

So.... Metal detecting is now a sport where we keep score.... Is this a full contact sport ??? Or is this just a " touch" kind of scoring system..... 🤔 can I tackle a fellow detectorist when I see one ? So many questions.....

[@jerrydineen2827]

I've thought about getting an XTERRA Pro, you make it sound like it's worth the purchase!

[@anthonyperkins6364]

you might be able to get the Rutus and Quest through Canada !!! Merril , great video!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Cool, thanks

[@southernrelics]

You bring out some great points. I’m excited to see what these new units can do.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Me too!!!

[@rocknut88]

Sometimes I really really wonder if minelab snuck in some sort of proprietary multi frequency thing on the xterra pro. Having used one (also in myrtle beach) I was shocked at how quiet that machine was in the Salt water. Obviously minelab claims it's single frequency but I really question its legitimacy sometimes.

[@johannesschneider8022]

At first, nice haircute! 😮 Thank You you for the rusty notch song! 😂😂😂😂😂 Can I get this as a ringtone for my cellphone, please? Or on CD with an autograph from you.... 🎉 Nice round in the Park with your buddies 👍

[@flamingomtn]

Thanks for the information. I'll be anxious to read about the two new Score machines. It's hard to understand what Dilek is saying in this particular video.

[@yamabiru4553]

New subscriber here, great videos, thanks for all the info sensei!

[@dougrobitaille2510]

Love your videos. I actually find all my rings and jewelry in lakes. The best part about lake detecting is that whomever drops a ring, it stays in that same area and makes it so easy to find gold! I have a Garrett AT MAX and recently bought a Equinox 700. I'll be mainly using the 700 for the beaches as my Garrett chatters like crazy due to the minerals in the ocean sand.

[@dirtlifedetecting]

Love my 600 but don’t want to dunk it. If you were buying another minelab for water next year would you go xterra, 700, or 900? Price is somewhat of a factor, but not major.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

At this point I would still go 700. I’ve had it on the beach twice. But it’s performed very well.

[@carolrice2063]

​@@MetalDetectingNYCAnd I would go with the X-Terra Pro and the lower price level and you can get the Sand scoop and also another Detector for your friend Or Family to go with you

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Looking forward to seeing how well these new Score Detectors Work. Thanks Man.. Happy Hunting . Peace

[@Gary_Daytona]

Pinpointer looks very interesting What was under played in that video Is it does have a mode that can be set to ignore iron That's groundbreaking along with all the other features and enhancements.

[@James-dtexTexas]

Hey Merrill, my thought is that the Equinox is multi frequency correct ? The Xterra is a multi choice single frequency system. The Legend is multi frequency and multi choice single frequency system that was introduced before the Xterra.

[@carolrice2063]

The Equinox is also a Multi Choice and Multi Frequency....

[@edhughes8262]

Thanks Merrill for bringing Mike Judge into the conversation. That’s a score in my book 👍🏻

[@ringhunter1006]

I have a Simplex + and I am currently holding as of 09/17/2023, at 12 gold ring`s 2 gold bracelets 1 large made in Italy 18.3 grams ID style also 2 gold necklace`s both with pendants and yesterday I found additional small (1 gram ) thin 10k gold heart shaped pendent with letter N, 6 silver rings three silver necklaces 1 silver state of Texas James Avery bracelet n charm 3 silver coins. so far!

[@stephencurry599]

I've been using an exterra pro since March. This is by far the best detector I've owned, although the last one i owned was a Fisher 1266X but it cost over $400 back in the early 90's. They got i hunt with has an equinox 600 and i can hunt anywhere he can and find just as much if not more sometimes. It has some things to get used to like the bottle caps or the vdi jumping but 90% of the time i can tell the difference between copper pennies, clad dimes, silver dimes, clad quarters and silver quarters by the vdi and tone. It's pretty stable in 5khz when it hits a silver coin. I've found my best finds ever since March with the Xterra pro it's been a game changer for me.

[@carolrice2063]

And what is your sensitivity settings for the X-Terra Pro ??? Well I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and the jumpy VDI is only present for the junk Targets Aluminum Foil Top's and Iron Target's and I also have the All Metal Mode On ( Horseshoe Button) and the Bottle Caps still sound good but I'm not Diggin Up any more of them, because I can hear the Iron Grunts now when I drag the Coil off the edge of the Target Signal and The using the of the All Metal Mode is just like Super WoW 😲 of the New Knowledge that the X-Terra Pro is telling me about the target and the lower sensitivity is the key to get there......

[@stephencurry599]

Depends on where I'm hunting usually I try to run 21 but sometimes it's down to 15 if there is a lot of mineralization

[@carolrice2063]

@@stephencurry599 And 21- 25 Full Sensitivity but do try 20 and see if it works and try the All Metal Mode on the X-Terra Pro and See what it does with the bottle caps and it's not a Single Tone like it is on the Simplex + but I have been using the All Tone's and I still have them on the all metal mode and the X-Terra Pro is a totally Great Detector and like you said that it's a Game Changer Detector for Sure..... Edit: and I haven't checked yet on the 5 MHz , but mainly i have been using the 15 MHz and Park 1 and Minus ➖ 4 iron Bias but each areas are totally different than the ground that I have detected and the only thing that is a problem with the X-Terra Pro is not having any headphones 🎧 being sold with it and the Iron volume is needed to be higher than 25 but If they have headphones then the iron volume is fine but it's a Very Decent Detector for the lower price.....

[@jaroslavstedry4227]

This year, 2 new detectors from golden mask hf 1000 in single coil and double coil versions are yet to arrive on the market. I would definitely not underestimate the golden mask brand, it has very fast recovery with target evaluation and primitive settings (threshold, iron volume, sensitivity). the product is almost indestructible...

[@bryanolier6775]

Well just see how good score and double score will be. Thank for information Merril .

So you recommend the legend for the beach and water hunting really don't want to spend the money on a dues 2 ?

[@carolrice2063]

Get the X-Terra Pro and you will have a great beach detector for a ALOT Lower Price and the money that is saved on now you can get a Sand scoop and other stuff for land detecting.....

[@yorkshirecoastadventures1657]

Another cracking video Merrill. I'll be looking out for your reviews of these.I love my Vanquish but a cheap,waterproof multifrequency really ticks the boxes for a tight Yorkshireman. Loved the use of Beavus n Butthead 😂

[@ov-1ddp974]

I was just about to pull the trigger on the legend! Should I wait???

[@FloodGold]

Thanks for the great video, I really appreciate your opinion about the X-terra Pro and reminding me about the Invenio. The Invenio is definitely very interesting and pricey. Unfortunately, Nokta still doesn't seem to understand how to make any detector that sounds good even the really expensive ones.

[@FloodGold]

Okay, a little humor is needed... You're hearing SCORE after using any Nokta detector is ZERO, haha

[@ArmandoAnzaldua-tx7ew]

Could the xterra pro be bbs technology.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Gotta see if someone can hook up and oscilloscope.

[@vernthornblad1598]

Amen. I don't believe multi frequency helps much. I use one frequency on my 800. Works great. I'd go up against any one using 800 on multi frequency any day.

[@diggerdaz279]

I often do the same using my D2 and Manticore …single frequency has its place and the right frequency is far less susceptible to emi .

[@brianrizzi6321]

I have a nox800 but want to get a detector for my son that is less than $500. We mostly land hunt. Xterra pro looks like the one but noticed the target ID looked glitchy. Should I wait for this new Nokta? Undecided

[@bernieciamarichello4650]

Merrill, please more Legend beach videos and using beach wet mode in parks

[@luigiprovencher]

Are there metal detectors that have no target id?

[@flyrock2]

Ive been killing it with the XTP!! All my multi freaks have been put on hold. Im sick of the multi freaks showing a good ID on everything good and bad. XTP IDs well on the important things even in the iron. Ive actually been killing it in the iron sites with XTP and 6" coil.

[@carolrice2063]

I know the X-Terra Pro is just like having a Top End Detector for the lower price and also ALOT of people are trying to Kill it By having the Sensitivity on Full Sensitivity without expecting any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and Not Many Permissions that you can get the full sensitivity on and I have mine set at 12 Sensitivity and If I really need to go Super Deep Targets then I will go to 18 and nothing higher than that and you will have about all the Targets that you can Dig Up and I will have it on 18 and only that high if I know that it's going to be Raining in the next day and that way when the rain comes it will help out with the plugs and get the loose dirt back to the ground and then after the rain comes the targets will really sound off and the lower sensitivity is the key to get the X-Terra Pro to really work for me and I prefer the X-Terra Pro over the Equinox 600 but To be fair the equinox is needed to be updated and it was never updated since it was a New Detector....... and I'm The Third owner of the Equinox.....

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

One thing we dont need is all the bells and whistles on a pinpointer. Another screen to look at? No, I need it to pinpoint an object, that's all. I've already chosen to dig it.

[@tribulationcoming]

Thanks for all the very good information. I am in S. E. Louisiana and have very little experience detecting. Looking at the X Terra Pro. Lots of old home sites and a few public areas. that's about it. Have a couple junk detectors, from your review the X Terra Pro would be affordable and of good quality. The sites you have available go back hundreds of years and the public areas are visited by thousands. You be safe and good detecting.

I knew I would get you looking at it more I wouldn’t 💩 ya Merrill you are one of my favorite channels . That machine will find everything that the Equinox 600-800 does on a beach , are the numbers bouncy ? Yes , but are they bouncy on Round good targets ? No they are not I call it high resolution detecting , once you get over the way you get numbers from the equinox and just focus on tones that machine is way better than the old Series equinox, having said that , my 600 is still my main beach machine because I like how gold ranges on it better mostly because I’m just used to it more and I have 1 year of warranty left so as Ask Jeff Williams says “ Yeah it’s gonna get wet !”

I couldn't hear what she said in the video. The banana pin pointer might be a buy, depending on how strong the light is at night(I like red, I have put transparent red plastic on my machines as not not ruin night vision) and how readable the screen is in sun light.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

In all my years I've never used a pointer that lasts more then two seasons without issues. I honestly don't care about features I'll never use once it's set the way I want it. I want my 180 bucks to last!

[@nickt7658]

Merrill? You Rock all things!

[@stevewilson4071]

From a marketing standpoint I'm not really sure where this score detector is going to fit in their lineup. There's already very little room between the simplex ultra and the legend right now and now you want to squeeze another one right in between there? Why? People that buy the score were thinking about either the simplex or the legend and now you're going to be pulling sales from them to buy the score. I think they're diluting their lineup too much unless this detector has something special attached to it that's going to make me want to buy it over the ultra or the legend.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Agreed! It’s like the vanquish fit!

[@stevewilson4071]

After thinking about it, I was thinking what would make me buy this detector at that price point. And I thought if it had the e-trac's ferrous and conductive vdi scores combined with the lightweight of the new ultra it would have my attention. Nokta, are you listening?

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for vid.

[@johnnyhiett]

Hey man....love the B&B clips 😆 And just a footnote. The Fisher CZ-6 of 1991 ran 5khz and 15khz and for many years was the top beach detector. From memory not simultaneous. 1991 was also the Minelab Sovereign BBS multi frequency (used All Tones).

[@jasonking6366]

I have the Fisher CZ5 which is 30 years old. I took it out recently from out of the closet and searched in an area which I went over with the Vanquish 540. It found DEEP coins that the Vanquish missed.

The new Nokta Pointer is very very interesting! The thing about having 23 metal detectors is that your gonna wanna round that up to 24 sooner than later!

[@UndergroundMetalDetecting]

Super cringe during that whole "score" bit in Noktas promo video. Even if that's the trim level, the whole production seems like it misses the mark for attracting detectorists. I don't doubt the good technology coming out from Nokta - but I feel bad for rising companies that get duped into tossing so much money into a new release with such a rough promo campaign

All the promo campaigns are pretty cringe from all the companies to be honest. It's almost part of the entertainment at this point. How cringe can they go? 😆

And if everyone else that you know will just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 and then the X-Terra Pro jumpy VDI will Somewhat Stabilize and then when they get on a junk signal target and then the jumpy VDI is letting me know that it's a JUNK Target And just keep Walking On and then when you get to a Coin target it will really come alive and I have set mine at 12 Sensitivity and I only go as high as 18 Sensitivity. if I really want to keep digging deeper and I don't know of any kind of detector Ever made that can get the Full Sensitivity without any kind of ground Feedback ( Jumpy VDI) and the lower sensitivity will help out with it.....

[@MadisonMainedetecting]

@@carolrice2063 Oh I see you have some of the same issues too.

[@carolrice2063]

@@MadisonMainedetecting No Not Really but I know Why it's Happening and that is because of the Higher Level of Sensitivity but I have lowered the Sensitivity down below 20 and Even farther from and down to 12 Sensitivity and now that I have done that then the jumpy VDI isn't a problem but it's telling me that there's a Junk Target when the jumpy VDI shows up and then when I get a coin target it has a chance to really sing and it will.. and I don't know why everyone is doing the full sensitivity on any detector that is made and not expecting any kind of ground Feedback from the Detector and then the Jumpy VDI is present and almost every video of the X-Terra Pro, people are trying to be at Full Sensitivity without any kind of Feedback and I never have been using the full Sensitivity and I tried and I know that it's not going to be able to but after watching them otherwise I realized that they have no more ideas of what the detector is capable of doing if you know how to use it and there not any kind of problem with the X-Terra Pro but it's just User errors and If you have the X-Terra Pro just lower the Sensitivity down to something that is a totally reasonable number and it's not maxed out and the X-Terra Pro is and will be able to Work and what I have done is find a target that is 6 inches deep and I have started to lower the Sensitivity down till I lost the target and then raise it up until I hear the target again and it was 12 Sensitivity for me on the X-Terra Pro and the Simplex + it was At 3 bars which is 15 And that's how I do it I pick my depth that is the maximum that I want to Dig and if the targets are really Jumping then it's a JUNK Target And I don't need to be carrying around ALOT More Junk Target's that I will have to go ahead and get rid of it but that's why I Love The Minelab X-TERRA Pro and it's Jumpy VDI Problem ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. and I have a Equinox 600 and I don't take it out because it doesn't have any kind of Jumpy VDI problem with it but like I have said before I ❤️ it and also I have the Horseshoe Button On the ALL Metal Mode and that helps to eliminate the Bottle Caps and They have a great tone And make you feel like digging them out before then I will put on the Horseshoe Button and I will hear the Iron Grunts and I have dug up some Quarter's Tone Targets that has a Grunt but the X-Terra Pro is telling me that there's a great target there to next to the iron and the quarter and the X-Terra Pro Was right but the Simplex + would give me quarter Tone's Targets and it was a junk iron and the Simplex was saying that it's going to be a great target and then it's Not but Junk Target's and that's why I love the X-Terra Pro and it's jumpy VDI and it's telling me about the target that is in the ground and If it's junk signal target it's a Jumpy VDI and when it's a good target there some digging up to be done.... AND I'M NOT HAVING ANY KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE XTERRA PRO INSTEAD IT'S A SUCCESSFUL DETECTOR JUMPY VDI FEATURES THAT IS INCREDIBLE ❤️❤️❤️........

@@MadisonMainedetecting And you can listen to them, But until you get the X-Terra Pro in your hands and swing over the targets yourself and possibly the people that have told you about the X-Terra Pro Problem's are possibly the ones that have never touched it yet and are just going By what the Notka Macro Product's Fan's and Tester's and I have watched one person that is a Tester for Notka Macro And the Simplex Ultra and the Simplex Was touching the ground when he was Swinging over the Target's and then when the X-Terra Pro was swung it was Way above the grass and the targets and and it was very noticeable that he was definitely doing it and then he said that the X-Terra Pro couldn't get the targets but you can hear it hit the targets even though the Coil Was a 4 inches above the grass and the target was in the ground about 10 inches deep in the ground and I have made the comments about what happened with the test and I haven't heard anything back from him yet but everyone else has noticed it what he did and he is a tester for Notka Macro Product's and is trying to sell the New Simplex Lineup of Detector's.....

Thank you once again for your time Merrill, and for sharing your thoughts' I will take the New Nokta Makro under consideration, this price is very agreeable! I enjoyed the Beavis and Butthead cartoons skits added. Again, thank you for your time and efforts on this subject of what to buy, and what may be right for the viewers, your hard work and research is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work! and I apologize for being so frank in my comment from your last episode before this one, I love this channel, signed, Greg the Egg. P.S.

There are not too many private investigators anymore; but it sure would be nice if they put out a pulse induction machine!

Merrill the Xterra Pro was tested by Frank Lopergolo and in beach mode he said it was actually multi frequency. And he said 8hz was not one of those frequencies.

Ive heard the same. Where can we find info about the multi IQ tech in the beach modes

@@Waltorian it was talked about on the June 26th livestream of Detect America. Not sure if there has been any updates. Check out the 16 min mark for the condensed findings

@@MetalDetectingNYC why on earth would they not advertise that? That’s crazy!

[@TeamLynchBMD]

@@MetalDetectingNYC Frank explained exactly what he did and his results. He said unless there was something he was missing, Beach mode was multi. He said others were working on it also. Me along with others said it was always impossible in the past to have a single frequency run quiet and find deep targets in the wet sand and Frank told me he was going to check it out.👍 This was the June 26th Detect America Livestream. 16 min mark is the important details

[@amazingcolonelangus4535]

Ok but what kind of Depth does Nokta go? I'm a treasure hunter, and the gold I'm looking for is buried deeper than 12 inches.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

you would want a horde detector. For coin sized objects the Anfibio is great at depth.

[@timmylloyd1]

Garrett CX series with two box attached will avoid all small targets and penetrate to china.

[@dansteffee9759]

I have a Legend and Nox 900, and both will do the job

[@MrBottlecapBill]

Depends on your ground. I haven't ever seen any detector by any company hit targets reliably at 12 inches in my soil. In the odd location when conditions are right.........sure you'll hit a coin down there but at 8-9 most of them start to fade away. If you're trying to find hordes any machine will hit larger targets at 12 inches.

[@amazingcolonelangus4535]

​@@MetalDetectingNYCI've got the Whites Sierra Madre with a Blue Max coil and can hit 5 ft depths. Not to mention my Fisher Gemini 3 that can pull 20 ft depths. I was curious for the waterproof detectors and their depths.

Not no information about them . What type of frequency or that. Are not on nokta site.

[@ArcanZA]

The new pinpointed had a very poor response to a gold ring in another KZbin video. No better that the garret carrot. The Fischer F Pulse outperformed the carrot , so will outperform this one as well if it is not a pulse pointer.

[@Ironman-harmonica]

She kept saying Multi frequency, she never said simultaneous Multi frequency, in a recent video she mentioned that simultaneous multi frequency is overrated

[@nerdinium]

the x-terra can't go over 18.75khz. This limits its recovery of small jewelry and gold that shows up better at 40-80kHz, and will get detected by SMF. I can't help thinking that mickey mouse earring that was recovered with the x-terra was accidental, as there was still a signal when you passed the coil over the hole.

[@Arby1965]

Until they improve on pull tab id, I'm not trying anything new for a while.
