Whether or not you are a fan of the Nokta detectors it seems the success of the Simplex and Legend machines at a lower price point has made a positive impact for the end user on the detector market. The $269.00 that Minelab is charging for the X-terra Pro really seems like a great bargain but it also makes the Maniticore and Equinox machines seem a bit overpriced.💲
My X-terra Pro will be here shortly. The fact that I can use my Nox coils and headphones sealed the deal for me! Looks like a great little machine for the price. Cheers from Bridgeport, Connecticut!
Iffy you are a huge help we just started detecting on our channel its a blast learning how to play and detect... watched your video and after adjusting and listeing for certain tones and frequencies we nabbed our first coins... 4 pennies from the 70s lol not major but awesome to us hahahha
Iffy just viewed the video you participated in with Calabash Digger. Very well done. You brought intelligent input to the conversation. Thanks for your efforts.
I loved my Xterra 705, I still have it as my spare, in my opinion having used the Xterra and the 800 Nox, I find that the Xterra is more stable on targets such as silver and Australian Clad.. that’s just my opinion having used both for many years, thanks for the review Mike 👍
Yea we have all been wanting a good quality and good priced affordable detector and I think the companies are listening at last. I still use some legendary older detectors like my Nautilus and my Mk 2 Red heat both single Freq and they still hit deep deep targets. What I love about them is that they last. Both are over 15 to 25 years old and still work well :) the red heat hits low conductors deep on iron infested sites too that many of my modern detectors just simply can't do. So separation is key along with depth and quality. At an affordable price. This is great for the new users like another gentleman mentioned. :) Good times for the hobby
I'm a Nokta Makro fan but 4 different frequencies on a machine that probably cost the same as the new Simplex will make the difference. Even i would take the X-Terra over the Simplex.
That's why Nokta is whining now!..........Minelab isn't worried about making big profits on this machine! It appears that Minelab's goal is to inflict damage to the competition, namely Nokta!
They had to respond to the sales volume of the simplex. Looks like they did a good job. I hope detector prices will start coming down because why spend big money when you don't have to to get a quality detector?
And now another problem with the Simplex is that they have no more Updates for it and To not get the Fix for the Simplex EMI Problem's that makes it dysfunctional ( totally) and per the email from Notka Macro Product's that they have No MORE Updates for the Simplex + but we are currently working on the Simplex Ultra and others that may have solved the Problems and could you please send a video of the Simplex and it's problem to our tech center and possibly the whole detector and is that what happens when the Simplex warranty is overwith ??? And Why not do an update and keep the Simplex + alive and it's your Flagship Detector that started the 🔥 and Now The No MORE Updates for the Simplex and it's EMI Problem's Magnet Detector and that's why I NOW have the X-Terra Pro and I love 💕❤️ it
I'd love to see this new Xterra Pro compared with the Vanquish series of detectors. I'm wondering how much of a difference the simultaneous multi frequency on the Vanquish will have in mineralized ground/the beach vs. the Xterra Pro. The soil where I live has a lot of iron.
Beep.. dig it lol I just noticed a readers find in Searcher or Treasure Hunting [ a iron Roman fibula] it was caked in rust but you could clearly see the form/shape I hunt farmland and beaches here in Kent England both have seen much footfall over many thousands of years my motto dig everything bag it wash it store in trays go over trays regularly NCMD member and thank you iffy signals.
The first detection stage circuitry in the X-TERRA PRO and Minelab metal detectors are already maxed out, the sensitivity adjustments are only for the final stages, which is why raising the sensitivity levels on the $1700 Manticore will only result in feedback.
Looks like Minelab has done it again! Great economical machine to have as a back up or for someone just getting into the hobby. I'm curious to see how Calabash does with it on the beach! Great Video!
Sounds like it's hitting targets pretty nice as single frequency should ! Nice solid tones coming out that machine.. Thanks for the review ! I think for a starter machine it prove to be very effective. Personally I much rather use a Minelab over the simplex ...
I wounder why you can not use the Vanquish Coils? This looks like a Hybrid of the Vanquish and Equinox Made Simple .. Very cool detector. Man If I heard the Price Right I might just buy it for fun.. Too Bad they did not use the same shaft style on the 700 and 900. Peace
@@IffySignals That is a Good Price .. I mean if you have coils for the Nox and You like the vanquish Style coils That is Awesome.. Looks like it hit hard and good on some deep targets.. Thanks Iffy..
Use a plastic scoop, and find yer targets much faster. Fill, scan over coil, dump. Repeat. Pinpointers aren't necessary(Unless you have a Falcon MD20 at 300k,)but the ML's pin pointer works just fine.
I wouldn't call this a starter machine at all.this has nearly all the features of a nox 800 with 16 ft submersibility red backlight of the 900 and near comparable depth of both of them.i think for what you get and the price point someone at minelabs marketing dept has flipped their sht
Thank you, great video. But if you had the money would you buy the XTerra Pro or the Nox 900. I am in the market to buy one or the other. I love my NOX 800
@IffySignals, I gotta tell you, I’m not very happy with Minelab. I’ve been waiting on my Manticore now for over 3 months, but somehow they keep on churning out new products. I feel like the technology on the Manticore will be out of date by the time I’ll receive mine!! (Sarcasm, kinda)
That V coil on the new X-terra pro is identical to the Vanquish V coil, or am I mistaken? Could both the Equinox coils and Vanquish coils be compatible with this machine? eq
Interesting I was going to sell my 800 but now you're saying the coils will work on this machine you say the coils will interchange but the mounting bracket is different correct can you show this Equinox 800 coils mounted on this machine a photo on how that would look I know the connector looks the same but I'm wondering about the coil mounting on the shaft
Hi, the coils are the same for the 600-900 and the the mounts will work with either. Diameter of the hole is the same so it will line up with the prior older 600/800.
What would you choose for all purpose metal detector, Vanquish 540 or X-Terra Pro, since theoretically Vanquish 540 has an advantage due to multiple frequencies?
Hey George, yes the 540 will have the Multi IQ advantage. The Xterra will also be great for general hunting and is waterproof. I would probably choose the 540 for the multi frequency.
Love the tones, this is going to sell well, I loved my Nox 800 but hated the low VDI Numbers as even my old Fisher 75 had 00 to 100 and like the new red background light, it’s waterproof ( hope it stays that way compared to Nox machines over time ) and then there is the bargain price 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Ps. Alway enjoy watching your videos 🤗🤗😀😀😀😎😎😎
My guess is probably not, but can the XTerra coils work on the Equinox? Thanks for the review, looks like a great entry machine. Would be very easy for a new user to step up from this to Equinox platform.
Curious on how would you rate recovery speed to this Xterra pro to the T2 or f19, or Garrett at max since I've never owned a minelab. I thought you may have mentioned you have or had machines I've mentioned,,,Thanks Iffy Signals.
Hey Mark, the Xterra is much faster in my opinion. I have never had a T2 or F19 but i have had an AT Max and the new Xterra recovery speed is on par with the Nox 700. It uses the same 1,2,3 of recovery that aligns to the 700.
I would love to see a saltwater beach test on this soon.....historically in order for a machine to be stable with no falsing in saltwater, it either needed to be Pi pulse machine( dig everything) , or minelabs multi frequency machines like the excal or sovereign and they were the only game in town on multifrequency for years until now. Machines like the at pro and simplex false pretty bad on the beach and only use single frequency....so if minelab has done something with single frequency working on the beach then i am really curious to see how it works out.
@Iffy Signals that's a good entry level machine. I'm running the Nox 800 and can't decide between the Manticore or the Nox 900. The big difference I see is the display and a few more settings. What is your opinion?
@@raydigsdetecting to me its more than the screen. I like the screen but the tone options on the Manticore are what sell it for me. Much more with tone options on it and let you decide what clicks with your brain and ears. If your happy with the tone options on the 800 then the 900 with the new VDI scale will be perfect. 900 is definitely a great step up from the 800. Just having the 99 scale back is great. They are very comparable with performance and build quality. I have not seen one report of a 700/900/Manti leaking yet. Knock on wood 👍
hey Iffy, Can you compare a 900 to an Xterra Pro , maybe both on single frequency 10 using at and dp for tones. Would they both be equal to determine target?
Great video, lots of new detectors coming out , hard to keep up. Lol im curious on the 8khz beach mode. Im guessing its for fresh water beaches and not saltwater ? Do you have any info from minelab on that?
Hey Dusty, no they will not work. They use the faster LL that is in the Equinox 700/900 and Manticore. You can use the ML 85’s or 105’s. You can turn the light off it has a high, a low and off.
Call West Shore Hobbies. He got a shipment today. Not sure he might have 1 left. If you email me I will send you his number or you can google him. His name is also Mike
Wonderful review! It is going to be hard to one-up this entry level at the $270 price point. Three select-able (4 if you include the Beach 8khz) frequencies in an entry level machine! If Calabash confirms it works half way decent on the salt beach, beginners will have a GREAT waterproof machine that should pay for itself in around three months.
This seems an awesome deal, so as you say equinox 800 coils fit this machine, so I take it the exterra coils will fit the equinox 800?, Also will the nox 800 controller box fit this exterra shaft, I rather this shaft than the shaft my 800 has
Hey, no the Xterra will not work on the Nox but all Nox coils will work on the Xterra. The Xterra are single freq coils. I do not think the head unit will work on the Nox shaft either. The Xterra is square but i could be wrong. Ill see if i can get it to work.
@@IffySignals ok much appreciated, yes I realise now with the coils, but yes please try the controll box, maybe a nice idea in my head, but might not work
@@IffySignals your introductory presentation on this machine was excellent. Now waiting on Calabash to provide his additional insight into this new device
This is an awesome review! Do you know if you can pair any headphones that are low latency or is this one like the manticores where only Minelab headphones will pair?
Here lately I’ve started to notice that MF isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. I have the Legend & use single frequency more than MF the past month or so.
@@kody3377 SMF is great tech but it is not the answer to everything. Single frequency machines definitely have their place and they are still turning up the goods.
Ahhh. Thats a tough one! Some great options right now. The reason i say its tough is because with the release of the 700/900 you can grab 800’s from ebay for around $500. If you think you are going to stay in the hobby and want a really good one that will grow with you grab a 800 from ebay or a new 700. The XTERRA and Vanquish 540 are both great options. You mentioned the 440 but you cannot use wireless headphones with that and it does not offer a low/high iron bias like the 540. If your going to be water hunting the XTERRA, if you plea to relic hunt the Vanquish would be better because of the multi iq. Coin hunting both will be fine.
Nokta fan here . I was waiting for the new simplex ultra to be released . But they still only run single frequency . The xterra on the other hand plus a brilliant recovery speed . I couldn't help myself.
This machine kind of makes you scratch your head a little bit though. They come out with a $1,600 detector and then come out with a $270 detector that's probably going to pull up 99% of what the manticore does. And judging by what Calabash did with the beach test I don't see the need to buy either a 700 or a 900 equinox considering the price difference and that this can be used on the beach with no issues! Not to mention this detector is deep! Seems like they're cutting their own throat here. They are pretty much forcing me to take advantage of this detector because of the price point. Well don't mind if I do then!
Hey Steve, the multis will perform better in most situations including the beach but i agree its a great machine for the price. Great detector for travel as well.
I been testing my XTerra Pro. It doesn't give good readings on nickel. Like a 1985 canadian dime for instance. It reads all over the place from -11 to +40. My Whites MXT Pro reads that dime just fine. Mxt pro is 14 khz and i ran the Xterra pro at 15khz. That is weird. I don't like that
@@IffySignals The MXT with the DD 10 inch coil separates really really good. But of course u know that with a concentric coil it can't separate very well. Considering the diameter of the coil and the targets within that diameter. My Xterra Pro reads stable steady readings on every common clad coin i have tested it with. Except that Canadian 85' dime. I don't know the make up of all our coins in America THRU the YEARS. For instance at what years they changed the metals in them. But i have seem videos of the Xterra pro being real jumpy on clad dimes and quarters but every dime and quarters i have waved it across reads perfect. We got to get down to the bottom of this😃. Peace and love.
Thanks for the info on the MTX, my Xterra is stable unless there are co mingled targets or they are deep then it will bounce more than a multi frequency machine.
@@lancepeterson5408 The problem with our Canadian coins are made out of iron. That’s why we keep getting jumpy signals on our number readings. I am thinking of buying the X Terra Pro I am hoping that the Canadian coins will go as deep in the wet salt sand like the American coins would go approximately 10 to 12 inches. I saw another UA-cam video that shows how to replace the rechargeable battery when it wears out later on. what I was wondering about is the metal detecting website stores be selling the replacement batteries for the Xterra pro. There hasn’t been much information about the built-in battery would sure like to know more about it.
Gotta' say, as a current simplex owner it looks as if minelab knocked it out of the park with this one, and it is a much better machine. Nokta, no doubt heavily influenced minelabs decision to produce this model and the price point its at. Given the choice of the two i believe i'd much rather own this than my simplex. Its really hard to argue that you don't get more for your money with the minelab
Honestly i think better than Simplex (but a new simplex is coming) better than the Vanquish for some features but the Vanquish runs full multi which is a huge benefit over single freq.
@@IffySignals it was a great machine in it's day only set back was if you wanted to change frequencies you had to purchase another coil instead which of course I did about four of them lol
thats the beauty of open market, once smaller companies offer a great product for less, the bigger monopolizing companies start to see their market share shrink, what to do,what to do? lets compete lets play their game. thanks nokta for making this company bend to their knees, now if we can only have gas prices do this i would definitely be smiling from ear to ear. as for the xterra pro i dont like the tones, its sounds to blocky.

If your happy with the tone options on the 800 then the 900 with the new VDI scale will be perfect. 900 is definitely a great step up from the 800. Just having the 99 scale back is great. They are very comparable with performance and build quality. I have not seen one report of a 700/900/Manti leaking yet. Knock on wood 👍
@Iffy Signals Thanks for my friend. It just comes down to decisions decisions decisions 🤣🤣🤣 Take care and find lots of treasures 👍😎
@@raydigsdetecting And getting out of the house.
Thanks for sharing. Great job
Thx Chuck!
can you test the beach mode on gold jewelry ie chains etc? I'm curious to how will it see with 8khz frequency, gold rings are no prob I figure
Hi, yes i have. It does good on gold rings but will not get the depth that a multi IQ or a higher kilohertz machine will achieve.
hey Iffy, Can you compare a 900 to an Xterra Pro , maybe both on single frequency 10 using at and dp for tones. Would they both be equal to determine target?
Good question Dean, ill give it a shot.
Iffy what’s better minelab 600 or exterra pro, what’s the difference thankyou
600 is better, full multi will always be better and helps with ID stability and it has iron bias adjustments.
I've seen where Calabash says seperation and recovery are about the same as AtPro. Do you agree?
No, its faster than the AT pro.
@@IffySignalsThat's what I thought also. Thank you or the confirmation.
Great video, lots of new detectors coming out , hard to keep up. Lol im curious on the 8khz beach mode. Im guessing its for fresh water beaches and not saltwater ? Do you have any info from minelab on that?
Dan, reports are that its good in the salt. 👍
At $269 seems like a great detector. Thanks for the great videos and responses to comments.
I have two questions....
1. How does the new Xterra pro compare to on the ID Meter to other detectors?
2. Is it similar to the Equinox?
Thks!
Hey Ken, it follows the same ID scale as the Equinox 700/900 and Manticore.
@@IffySignals Oh #3. Is the firmware upgradable? I have not heard anyone mention that it is...thks
Found the manual on their website...at the very bottom it says it is
@@ParkMetalDetecting yes it is, same cord as Nox/Manticore 👍
Great review! Thanks......Is there a connector(jack) for wired headphones?
Yes, same as the Nox
Do you know if the Legend Bluetooth headphones will work with the xterra pro and is the screen always red or is that adjustable? Thanks👍
Hey Dusty, no they will not work. They use the faster LL that is in the Equinox 700/900 and Manticore. You can use the ML 85’s or 105’s. You can turn the light off it has a high, a low and off.
@@IffySignals Thank You Very Much Iffy I Really Appreciate you Answering my Query.
Anytime Dusty
What model is your wand detector? Thanks
Minelab Profind 35
Is it submersible too? I know that asking a lot for price though it still a lot of bang for the buck.
Yes to 16ft.
Will the tear X coil work on a seven and 900 the other way around?. thanks for the video
Nox will work on Xterra but not the other way around.
@@IffySignals Thanks
Is This the Simplex Killer? For under $300 I definately like it
I think it is. Very impressive machine Joey.
@@IffySignals Looked stable and properly built.. when does it come out for sale?
@@VegasDtech already for sale. A dealer mentioned today that some are on the way to the states if not here already.
Can the Bluetooth headphones from the 600/800 be used on the XTerra Pro?
No, the but the 85’s and 105’s for the 700/900/manticore can.
@@IffySignals, Thank you. I do have the Manticore. Just will have to pair/re-pair every time.
Will the waterproof headphones from my equinox work with this machine?
Yes 👍
Heck yeah get some Mikey 💪💥💪
Thx Juice
I feel the vanquish inside and the 8 khz in beach from Go Find.
Thanks Herberto
Where can one be purchased? Please post a link.
Call West Shore Hobbies. He got a shipment today. Not sure he might have 1 left. If you email me I will send you his number or you can google him. His name is also Mike
@@IffySignals thank you
@@ozarkmyke he has one left as of an hour ago if you want to jump on it.
@Iffi, does the WM06 moudule fit on the terra pro? Gr.m
Hey MM, no they do not. It works on the same wireless system as the 700/900/Manticore. The 85’s and 105’s will pair with it.
Chevrolet leaves parts everywhere. You won’t find the whole truck in one spot ! 😂
Hahahahaha
@@IffySignals 😂😂😂
LOL!
Yes im impressed like to see what frequency is best for gold jewelry and will the beach mode hit on gold jewelry?? Awesome video just subscribed...
I found plenty of gold with the X-Terra 705 on the beach running at 7.5 KHz.
Higher frequencies will always work best on gold. So in the case of the Xterra 15khz will be best.
Heck, try that coil on a Nox and see how it does.
No go. I like those coils too. The 10” Vanquish is my favorite
Wonderful review! It is going to be hard to one-up this entry level at the $270 price point. Three select-able (4 if you include the Beach 8khz) frequencies in an entry level machine!
If Calabash confirms it works half way decent on the salt beach, beginners will have a GREAT waterproof machine that should pay for itself in around three months.
Agree Nick! Thx bud.
The most important question for me, have you tried plugging it's coil into the Nox?
Haha. Yea. They will not work that way. They are not Multi IQ coils.
@@IffySignals have you tried it though? :)
@@phrunt yes
@@IffySignals damn, thanks for trying.
This seems an awesome deal, so as you say equinox 800 coils fit this machine, so I take it the exterra coils will fit the equinox 800?,
Also will the nox 800 controller box fit this exterra shaft, I rather this shaft than the shaft my 800 has
Hey, no the Xterra will not work on the Nox but all Nox coils will work on the Xterra. The Xterra are single freq coils. I do not think the head unit will work on the Nox shaft either. The Xterra is square but i could be wrong. Ill see if i can get it to work.
@@IffySignals ok much appreciated, yes I realise now with the coils, but yes please try the controll box, maybe a nice idea in my head, but might not work
@@IffySignals subbed you as well great video
@@Greengrass1972 thank you! Just subbed to you as well.
@@IffySignals much appreciated
Next test should be to see if you can replace the guts with the Nox 600 guts and make a truly waterproof 600.
Lol
I’m curious to see how it does on gold rings. Anyone know?
Does very good. Gold hunting I would use 15khz. But 5,10 will find it just 15 will find it deeper. I will show some gold tests.
I wonder what’s the expected battery life? And downloadable updates too?
Yes, battery life is comparable to the Equinox 700/900 and its fully updatable.
@@IffySignals your introductory presentation on this machine was excellent. Now waiting on Calabash to provide his additional insight into this new device
This is an awesome review! Do you know if you can pair any headphones that are low latency or is this one like the manticores where only Minelab headphones will pair?
The new ML 85’s and 105’s will pair. No
Longer standard BT due to the faster LL speed.
Excellent walthrough of the features. Very much a Nox without the SMF and not everyone needs or wants an SMF machine.
Here lately I’ve started to notice that MF isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. I have the Legend & use single frequency more than MF the past month or so.
@@kody3377 SMF is great tech but it is not the answer to everything. Single frequency machines definitely have their place and they are still turning up the goods.
Thank you!
Witam jaki wybrać wykrywacz metali na początek 440 x tera pro? Inne modele?
Ahhh. Thats a tough one! Some great options right now. The reason i say its tough is because with the release of the 700/900 you can grab 800’s from ebay for around $500. If you think you are going to stay in the hobby and want a really good one that will grow with you grab a 800 from ebay or a new 700. The XTERRA and Vanquish 540 are both great options. You mentioned the 440 but you cannot use wireless headphones with that and it does not offer a low/high iron bias like the 540. If your going to be water hunting the XTERRA, if you plea to relic hunt the Vanquish would be better because of the multi iq. Coin hunting both will be fine.
@@IffySignals and what other models for150-200$
Nokta fan here . I was waiting for the new simplex ultra to be released . But they still only run single frequency . The xterra on the other hand plus a brilliant recovery speed . I couldn't help myself.
From what i remember the Simplex was not very good on the beach either. The Xterra does a great job in the salt water.
Can u try to put signals for gold coins and gold things
Funny to see this request, i just got some fine gold pieces i have to bury in the test garden. Will do soon. Thx
This machine kind of makes you scratch your head a little bit though. They come out with a $1,600 detector and then come out with a $270 detector that's probably going to pull up 99% of what the manticore does. And judging by what Calabash did with the beach test I don't see the need to buy either a 700 or a 900 equinox considering the price difference and that this can be used on the beach with no issues! Not to mention this detector is deep! Seems like they're cutting their own throat here. They are pretty much forcing me to take advantage of this detector because of the price point. Well don't mind if I do then!
Hey Steve, the multis will perform better in most situations including the beach but i agree its a great machine for the price. Great detector for travel as well.
That is some machine for the price and features.
Thx JK!
I have the simplex and wish I would of waited to get this .
Definitely impressive William. Thanks 👍
I been testing my XTerra Pro. It doesn't give good readings on nickel. Like a 1985 canadian dime for instance. It reads all over the place from -11 to +40. My Whites MXT Pro reads that dime just fine. Mxt pro is 14 khz and i ran the Xterra pro at 15khz. That is weird. I don't like that
Hey Lance, i have been seeing some comments about jumpy IDs. I have never used an MXT, how does the mxt do with separation?
@@IffySignals The MXT with the DD 10 inch coil separates really really good. But of course u know that with a concentric coil it can't separate very well. Considering the diameter of the coil and the targets within that diameter. My Xterra Pro reads stable steady readings on every common clad coin i have tested it with. Except that Canadian 85' dime. I don't know the make up of all our coins in America THRU the YEARS. For instance at what years they changed the metals in them. But i have seem videos of the Xterra pro being real jumpy on clad dimes and quarters but every dime and quarters i have waved it across reads perfect. We got to get down to the bottom of this😃. Peace and love.
Thanks for the info on the MTX, my Xterra is stable unless there are co mingled targets or they are deep then it will bounce more than a multi frequency machine.
@@IffySignals okay thanks bud
@@lancepeterson5408 The problem with our Canadian coins are made out of iron. That’s why we keep getting jumpy signals on our number readings. I am thinking of buying the X Terra Pro I am hoping that the Canadian coins will go as deep in the wet salt sand like the American coins would go approximately 10 to 12 inches. I saw another UA-cam video that shows how to replace the rechargeable battery when it wears out later on. what I was wondering about is the metal detecting website stores be selling the replacement batteries for the Xterra pro. There hasn’t been much information about the built-in battery would sure like to know more about it.
Gotta' say, as a current simplex owner it looks as if minelab knocked it out of the park with this one, and it is a much better machine. Nokta, no doubt heavily influenced minelabs decision to produce this model and the price point its at. Given the choice of the two i believe i'd much rather own this than my simplex. Its really hard to argue that you don't get more for your money with the minelab
Thx Tim 👍
Is it better than Vanquish? Or simplex+?
Honestly i think better than Simplex (but a new simplex is coming) better than the Vanquish for some features but the Vanquish runs full multi which is a huge benefit over single freq.
Thank you.
Welcome
Makes me glad I never bought a 600 or something. These seems just as good for half the price.
Thx Fretty
Please, try to connect x-terra coil to equinox
Does not work. They are single freq coils. I tried 😉
I would like to compare my first machine 15yr plus old Xterra 705 to this 🤔
Wow. That would be a cool comparison. I have never used one of the old Xterras.
@@IffySignals it was a great machine in it's day only set back was if you wanted to change frequencies you had to purchase another coil instead which of course I did about four of them lol
thats the beauty of open market, once smaller companies offer a great product for less, the bigger monopolizing companies start to see their market share shrink, what to do,what to do? lets compete lets play their game. thanks nokta for making this company bend to their knees, now if we can only have gas prices do this i would definitely be smiling from ear to ear.
as for the xterra pro i dont like the tones, its sounds to blocky.
Definitely an interesting time. Yea we could definitely use some help with gas and oil prices
Test it agains different types of steel bottlecaps
Will do. Thx
