Metal Detecting | XTERRA PRO Destroys This Beach
This beach was on fire! Nonstop targets. I was forced to use the Xterra Pro as my Legend has failed. The Xterra Pro showed this beach who is boss. I was very impressed with how it handled the beach, and it managed to sniff out some gold. Amy found something that at a quick glance, makes your heart stop.

    I was rather impressed with the Xterra Pro on this hunt. It performed really well, the best experience I have yet with the Xterra & it sniffed out some gold. Amy's find was a quick heart stopper.

    Xterra Pro for $269.00 is a great detector. It will compete with much more expensive detectors. The backlight is good for night detecting. I got one for beach detecting. I already have an old Tesoro DeLeon not good for beach. Now I use the Xterra most of the time. Tesoro is great anywhere but the beach. It's been a great friend.

    How funny... When Christine and I go detecting I am often in shorts and she is layered like we are detecting in the arctic... The XTerra Pro is Christine's "Go To" detector of choice... she absolutely loves it. Excellent gold cross!
  • @OCBeepDigger
    Rapid fire targets... AWESOME! Congrats on the gold! :-)

    Great hunt! Thanks for all you bring to us.

    Geotech explains here how a single frequency machine like the Xterra Pro can be so good at the beach “It's single frequency in that it only transmits a single frequency square wave. But that square wave has odd-order harmonics and the 3rd harmonic can be demodulated as a pseudo-second frequency and used for salt cancellation. Because the 3rd harmonic is much weaker, it does not make an effective second frequency for the purpose of detecting targets. That is, if you transmit a 5kHz square wave, the 15kHz 3rd harmonic is useful for salt cancellation but otherwise the detector performs mostly like a 5kHz single frequency.”

    Let's go let's go treasure and adventure ... I use the xterra pro and I love it. it is simple ✌👵

    I bet that was a super fun hunt. Finding tons of targets like that is exciting. Very nice find with the gold cross 😁 on a side note, not sure if you remember me talking to you about my health over the last 3 years due to what i thought was COVID. BUT … i just got COVID 3 days ago and it’s incredibly brutal !! How old are you John ? I only ask because I’m 53 and was wondering how you faired through the illness. Did you feel like you were getting better and then get worse before you finally go better ? If those questions are too personal i understand. Great vid, keep crushin it 👍🏼🤞🏼😁

    What coil are running on the xterra I still have the stock on mine but wanting to upgrade just not sure what to get
  • @kellystrangelove
    I noticed you're not in all metal mode, does that make a difference
  • @carolrice2063
    And When you Swing over A Coin Target with the X-Terra Pro, you know it AND when it's not a good Coin target the VDI Numbers will jump and you know that it's a either a Relic and Just Junk and possibly Aluminum....
