- Minelab X-Terra Pro For Beginners: In this video I'll walk you through navigating the menu of the X-Terra Pro. If you are familiar with the Minelab Equinox Series of metal detectors, this menu is very similar. If you are new, this is a very easy to use (out of the box) metal detector. Although, its a low priced metal detector (around $269) it is very capable and probably the best on the market for under $300. Enjoy.

After putting 50 hours on this machine in the last ten days I’ve found over 25 pieces of jewelry & a jar of coins on the beach in NJ. Beach 2 is the better performer I believe. I use sensitivity from 12-20 in wet sand & a steady 20-22 in dry. Do not discriminate iron on the beach! You will miss some gold like I did in the beginning! Also dig all your coin signals! Can’t stress that enough! Make sure to noise cancel/ground balance occasionally & keep ground balance tracking on. Also learn your tones in all tones! The VDI is not very accurate unless it’s a screamer on top! I was also told by a distributor with an inside source that both 8khz beach modes are smf like the vanquish. They didn’t want to make that public to lose sales on the vanquish models! Good luck & great video man. You got my sub!
Awesome info thank you my friend. I think most of us in the testing business suspected that there is some secret sauce going on wit this machine on the beach.
@@MentalMetal Haha absolutely brother! Just killed it again today with 3 rings & a diamond crucifix pendent! Good luck out there dude.
@@HIGHWAYATMIDNIGHTJust go lower with the sensitivity down below 20 Sensitivity and I started with 12 Sensitivity and when I got over a not a coin target but a piece of aluminum and a bottle caps the X-Terra Pro will really be jumping around the scale of numbers and I have just walked on but the coin's will really sound off...
@@MentalMetal Hello there. I just bought this detector and yours is definitely the best settings video I've found. Just subscribed and thanks for the info.
Does anyone know what tone and number gold will come up as? I assume different karats will have different tones, but I haven't found any gold, mostly sterling silver and fake jewelry. I'm still new and if anyone can help it I would appreciate it thanks
Excellent video... I just purchased the x-terra pro, my 1st metal detector.
Awesome best of luck to you.
Pretty cool I just ordered one , getting into detecting hope I got a good machine to start good video thanks for sharing your experience
Good luck!
Man I`m IMPRESSED with this metal detector. What a bargain!
I just picked mine up today and am excited to get out a try it, this is the first detector that I have bought new
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you ! Now I understand the settings completely, this was a massive help 👍😁
My pleasure! Thank you!
Just purchased my very first metal detector yesterday (Minelab Xterra Pro) and this video is a huge help thanks for doing this and sharing 👊🏻
I subscribed because of this video! I just recently got an Xterra pro, and there were a lot of youtube instructions on VDI #s, but not a lot about the menu system. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Great video a friend who is new to Detecting ask me what to buy. I suggested this machine, the Xterra he came down to meet me at a local beach where I had found two rings already previously. So I had to leave he stayed in, proceeded to find a 14 karat wedding band. I went back the next day and I found a 1965 gold class ring with my Manticore, I was surprised how stable the Xterra is.
Yeah I think a lot of folks are finding out that its a really nice machine for the money.
I think you did a great job, I have 2 other detectorists to train tomorrow out in the field. I think this is a good refresher or even help a beginner. I’ve only turned my new machine on yesterday after I charged it. I plan on taking the two others under my wing and teach them everything there is to know as a beginner. Thank you for this video and hope to see more. I’m a new subscriber to the channel. Hope you all had a great holiday and I hope you have many more.
Thanks I appreciate that. I hope you had a great holiday as well.
Thank you Scott. You explain the functions very well on the XPro!
Thanks Jerry.
Great video Scott. FYI the nox 800 had the same program reset seperate from having to factory reset. Debbie from Minelab showed me that years ago.
Ha that is something I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
Great video, I just picked up an Xterra Pro to replace my old Delta 4000 that has been acting up lately. I'm excited to have access to changing frequency, noise cancellation, all tone, and manual ground balance.
Hope you enjoy it!
Brilliant job guys have a brilliant weekend 👍
Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the advice man 😅 I’ll definitely take some gold out and bury it at different depths and play with the new detector.
Thankyou that video helped out alot. Just subscribed
Thanks for making this video 👍!!!!
My pleasure.
Great show very informative 😊
Thanks!
Very cool. I like it .. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Thanks for the excellent video once again. I really appreciate it.
Sure thing Brad. Thank you!
Good video buddy. I also have the X terra, brilliant detector
Awesome glad to hear you like it.
just bought one today. my first detector
congrats!
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great job!!
Thanks Brian!
Vdry well explained👌
Thank you!
Good video. I search in the Netherlands and i keep Ground balance on track. Cos for sure in mine Area i know that the soil and Minerals are tricky and jumping up and down in a couple meters. For the rest i like this depth monster coins Ring or militaire stuff it finds almost every thing also very small parts and necklace like most detectors don t accept
Great to hear. Sounds like you have some good places to hunt.
Thanks for vid and information .
Thank you!
I really liking watching your videos brother you know your metal detectors, I will subscribe Thanks
Awesome thank you!
Thanks great video.
Thank you sir.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you.
New subscribers here !
Thank you and welcome!
I picked up this metal detector before even seeing this video.
Watching this video only makes me more confident in my decision.
First time using a metal detector, and I really appreciate all the information y'all have shared with me. Thanks
Dp is Delta pitch, thanks for the run down
Great video thanks
No problem 👍
Well done sir! Can you see any advantages of this detector over the Manticore except for cost? I finally received mine, so far I like the way it sets up and operates. Thanks for putting this video up.
The Minelab X-Terra Pro is very similar in air test depth as the Nokta Simplex, I'm sure the detection circuit is the same with the higher priced Equinox and Manticore models, if we had the hidden service code menu for technicians, like televisions we could tweak up the sensitivity perimeters to 35 like the Manticore. Don't expect MinLab to offer a firmware update with a higher sensitivity as that would kill the sales of their Equinox and Manticore. I would never spend more than $300 for metal detector, it's only a little circuit board inside the box, give me a break :-). This machine is awesome, why pay more!
In the advanced setting if you are in all tones you can set a floor of what you want to hear. Say you only want to hear high tones, set it to say 80. You may have touched on that but since you were in 5 tones it wasn't clear to me. I tried it in a trashy area but wasn't liking it. Might try it again once I understand the sounds better.
It's your fault :) ... I just bought the X-Terra Pro... Great information you are providing on the machine... much appreciate.....!
LOL its a great machine for the price.
It’s all Good demonstrated, it’s basically performs better than price,my opinions, goes to tell you how overpriced the manticore is the 2d screen isn’t worth 500 more, just get the 800 or minelab 900, xp deus 2 probably best machine going. Thanks
Hi have the X Terra pro and enjoying your video's in the UK. is there a carrying bag where it fits without dismantleing the machine. I have bought 1 bag and even a fishing bag to try to get my pro in without the dismantle.
Been a heap of sooking over vdi have a look at the 900 or 800.
Hi, does the generell mode in park 1 include all findings? I mean everything. Gold, silver, iron etc? Kind a strange if i have to choose which one of gold or silver i wanna search for…
I’d like your advice. If I was using this for mainly detecting gold in creek beds and on banks and under water in small creeks where I know gold is, what type of id number or indicator value would I potentially see consistently??? Just bought this today and have plans to learn it inside and out for all hunting, but am curious if there is a way to help one find mainly gold or a gold setting or preset. Thanks in advance.
I wish I knew, I have no experience searching for gold under those conditions so I would be speculating. If you have some gold from prospecting you might want to try putting it on the floor and running the detector over it to get a general idea.
I have a squiggly mark with a line through it on my Xterra pro on the top near the battery indicator, what is it? lol thanks
Very nice video. Thank you. I'm looking to purchase a detector and have been looking at this one and the Simplex BT. I'm new to this hobby but have wanted to try it for a long time. My question is this: Will the Minelab also pick up gold as well as coins and jewellery? Thank you for your video again
Don C.
Yes it will, if need some help deciding reach out to my friends at Fort Bedford Metal Detectors, their info is in the description. They won't pressure you to buy but they will help you decide. They carry both.
Buy it brother! It’s pretty damn good on the beach to get that jewelry too! The simplex isn’t good on the beach. That’s why I chose the Xterra.
Now looking at a. 2 unit as aback up.
Good job buddy showing that Xterra ! 🎉😊👍👏
Thanks my friend. Hope all is well down south.
I currently own the Vanquish 540 pro and absolutely love it. Would the X-terra be an upgrade in your opinion. Thanks
Chuck I still think the 540 would has one advantages (Multi-Freq) but its not waterproof. If you are worried about water the vanquish isn't 100% waterproof where as the X-Terra Pro is. I would want to see these 2 go head to head to really give you an answer. The X-Terra is a really good machine for the price.
Im thinking of getting this X-Terra pro for just a backup or just playing around with .
Can't beat it for the price IMO.
Thanks for you mentioning your glove. I thought Michael Jackson had been reincarnated for a minute.😁
Just kidding.... Thanks for another great vid!
LOL, I love those gloves. Thank you!
I want to get the 11"round coil. I think this machine will perform better with that coil
You can do that with this machine.
Would you recommend having vibration on?
Its a personal preference really. Makes a difference for people who have hearing problems or for those that are using it underwater. It will draw more on the battery.
Do you think they will do an update to stabilize VDI ?
I sure hope so that is literally the only downfall! Except the shaft will be a little loose after lots of use.
Just lower sensitivity down and then when it's jumpy VDI then it's going to be Not a Coin Numbers Target And I have the X-Terra Pro and I started with 12 Sensitivity and it's still able to get Targets that are in the 6-8 inches deep range and I have since raised it up to 18 and I can really tell when it's not a good target and I see no reason to be anything higher than 20 but it's also Site Dependent on how much Sensitivity I'm going to be able to do but I have eliminated 2 Junk Carry Bags from my Belt now that I'm using the X-Terra Pro instead of Notka Macro Product's Simplex + and the I have to dig up everything that is making a Duck Tone's Squawk......
I'll be purchasing one from Walmart, same price as mentioned in video, but I'm a beginner and I'll be mostly on the beach since I live in a coastal town here in Puerto Rico like a10 min walk to the beach. But I would really like some suggestions.
First suggestion, don't buy from Walmart. Support someone locally if you can.
There's no local dealer on the island, I bought one once at RadioShack but a long way back time ago, and Walmart here doesn't actually have it in stock it's shipped from a dealership from out in the states, no metal detector for sale here, there kinda middle man
Ahh I didn't think of that, man that's a bummer. Its a pretty easy machine to use. There isn't much to it. If you turn up the sensitivity too high it might become a little unstable but make sure you ground balance especially on the wet sand. That's really it.
Purchased it, just waiting for it to arrive, got a pin pointer and pouch 👍🏽, thanks for everything everything
I will be posting some videos I'll put you up to date when it goes on
How do you reset the x-terra pro back to as it just came out of the box?
Hold down the power button when you turn it on.
Where to buy? It cost in Holland €329
My question because I'm very new. Everyone shows the kHz or example discusses recovery mode but nobody says what those things mean or do. Like what is recovery? What does 5,10,15 kHz actually mean? I can't find this most basic info. Thank you
download the manual its all in there. www.minelab.com/__files/f/498603/4901-0420-2_XTP_Inst%20Manual_WEB_EN.pdf
Can't figure out how to get it to detect a small sterling silver earring stud.
You might have found the limitation of the X-Terra but I haven't tried it on those targets yet.
@@MentalMetal -- Yes, could be. I haven't given up yet, but already considering returning it and trying the Vanquish 540 or the Legend if the X-Terra is not able to detect the earring stud... Thanks.
Have you tried the 6" or other coils? All the coils for the Equinox including the CoilTek coils will work on the X-Terra. I bet that 10x5 CoilTek will hit it.
@@MentalMetal Good idea.... I would like to do that, but it would mean additional purchase to find out if that would made the difference. At this point, I have 60 days to return the X-Terra Pro to BassPro Shop.... If I can find a seller that will allow me to return the coil, I would do it.... Will start looking.... :)
just a single frequency. very nice. but a bit limited. went with a equinox.700. but thats a real nice model.
Agree, for $269 its a keeper.
Hello, can anyone please tell me if when you turn off the machine, will it return to the saved settings when turned back on? Any replies appreciated.
You will have to reset the Hidden Features and the program Park's and Field and Beach and Volume will stay on whatever you was using before you turned it off and the tone break will have to be reset again And it will go back to-16 every time but it's not really that hard to do and get to like ALOT of the other Detectors.. and just lower the Sensitivity down below 20 Sensitivity 12-18 and the X-Terra Pro is a Totally Great Detector for the price of it....
my detector don't STOP humming?
You probably have the Threshold turned on.
@@MentalMetal thanks I'm a beginner I'm watching videos I'll definitely get this little at a time no rush thanks
my x terras vdi jumps everywhere and chattery hope there an update soon
What is the Sensitivity set At ?? and also you can't use the full sensitivity on Any Detector , no matter how good you are in Detecting and alot of people think that is how to use it and get pissed that it will not work for them and end up selling and I have very few permissions that I can use full sensitivity and not have a jumpy VDI and no I don't have a X-Terra Pro as of yet but a Simplex and no New Updates for it but it's needing one for an EMI problems and sent an email to Notka Macro And Was told " We want to keep the Simplex a simple detector" even though it is a problem with EMI and They want us to buy their other detectors and not Fix what they have already have out there, but now it's my problem with it and not theirs and will not be getting anymore Notka Macro Product's..... and Looking at the X-Terra Pro and Or ?????...
@@carolrice2063 I have had some places where I can run my X-Terra Pro on maximum sensitivity. But I do ground balance properly after noise cancelling.
Σε τι βάθος μπορεί να φτάσει αυτο το μηχάνημα;;;ΠΧ σε μια κατσαρόλα, 30×30 διαστάσεις, σε ποίο βάθος θα την ανακαλύψεις;;; 1,20 1,30 βάθος μπορεί να φτάσει αυτό το μηχάνημα;;; Εγώ το θέλω για το βουνό 🗻
At 19:34 you called the search mode button the detect button.
yep you got me.. my bad.
I'm back... not happy.... screen has two air bubbles...!☹☹ I posted this issue on forum and had someone suggest that there might be a film to be removed from the screen and that accounts for the appearance of the bubbles. What do you think...? Film that needs to be removed...?? .... UPDATE..... See below...there was a protective film that just needed to be removed....
😃Happy days....!! Bubble issue gone....!! Yes, there is definitely a protective film over the screen that is easily removed
Torn between this brand and the simplex nokta
Wery well explained. What takes time is to learn is what needs to be adjusted before starting to detect, and then remember whitch button was for what. are used to the Garret who was about 8-10 years old🫣
