Lol, come on now...! Most of my viewers are Males 50-65 but many are 65+. This machine is fantastic and very capable you will do very well with it. Thank you for the view and comment!
One of the best videos I have watched on UA-cam on how to use something. This video will go a long way in helping setup then new metal detector and learning thank you.
This is a great detector for a beginner or intermediate detectorist. You can't beat it for the price and performance. Thanks for the chance of winning one.
I bought this detector for my DIL as her first detector after I watched your video. You speakly clearly and concisely, very informative. Thank you! (I even got myself one, love it)
That sounds like lots of fun with both of you having this fantastic metal detector! I sincerely appreciate your kind words and thank you for the view and comment!
Yes, what an awesome feature having the adjustable grip length, all machines should have that feature! Like a cup holder in a car, never realized how important it was until you had one. Appreciate the view and comment!
I always wanted a decent detector but could only afford the cheap ones, thanks for your thoughtfulness in holding a contest and giving someone a chance to own a good detector.
This is one detector that is better than decent and very affordable!!! A teenage girl ended up winning the machine in the giveaway and that was neat to know it went to one of the next generation of detectorists! Thank you for the view and kind words!!
Still not going to beat the Equinox 800 for overall performance in the iron, nails, etc. But at this price you could have both. Thank you for the view and comment!
You're welcome I'm really happy to read comments like this where I see people getting this machine as maybe their first machine or their first modern machine anyway because this detector is so capable that they won't get frustrated and they actually will do very well with it. Thank you for watching the video and for referring it as well!
Mark, your video about the X-Terra Pro is the best, most easy to understand instructions that I have ever watched! Recently purchased one that I have not used yet, and bringing the Pro along to a beach vacation in Florida in a few weeks. Your explanation of its operation and all the features will really help on my first beach hunt. Now I’m gonna watch your field hunt videos…. Much thanks!
Thanks. Bought the X-Terra Pro yesterday here in Australia. I was going through all the settings with you during the video & very happy with your presentation. Can't wait to get out and get swinging. Cheers, Sam.
Hi Mark I just bought this detector and as an older user I found your video so enlightening. I now feel I understand the machine so much better .Many Thanks.
That is exactly the comment I love to see right there. It gives me the inspiration and determination to keep making videos when I know that they're helping people.. thank you for watching and for your kind words in your comment!
Hello Mark, just finished watching your complete X-Terra Pro instruction video. It is by far the best metal detector video that I have ever watched! I’m an old guy who has been detecting for years, the advanced technology in today’s detectors sorta overwhelms me, the technique you use with the “Pro” is so easy to understand! Much thanks Mark!
A sincere thank you to you for watching the video and for your kind comments. I really love seeing comments like this as they inspire me to keep making these videos. I'm really glad that it was able to help you it is a fantastic machine and you will do well with it!
I really liked the step by step I just got my X-Terra last week and was lost, but now I have the Manuel and you gave me the visual! It will still take me a while to use and remember the details but I am so glad I bought one, and so glad I found your show!
Thank you for the view and congratulations on your purchase. I just released a new video today for using your X-Terra Pro in Parks, schools and yards. Be sure to give it a watch as well as my pro tips video on the X-Terra Pro on my channel. Thank you also for your kind comment!
I’m back!! I got a chance yesterday to get out and do a short hunt at a local park! I , again used your step by step instructions and again I’m going to say thank you very much! I really enjoy the learning aspect of my XTP! Be Blessed
@@lkabot Thank you for the view and for letting me know, I have been blocking them like crazy, they are trying everything to make comments. Appreciate the comment and view!!
Me too, this machine is exciting to review because price is not a factor!! But I know it will perform very well in the field! Thank you for the view and comment!
Really appreciate this video...i Just bought one of these..I've had a metal detector before (Garrette ace 300) but I didn't really get to use it as much as I wanted to...but I wanted to get back into metal detecting and I saw nothing but positive things about this machine and saw how it's able to go under water and then I saw the price of it and I couldn't pass it up... Hope to go out later this week and search an late 1880's store building....Wish me luck.. And thanks again for such a informative video..
I do wish you luck!! It really is a fantastic machine that will find lots of quality treasures. I see your comment was 3 months ago (I just can't keep up with all the comments, sorry for the delay) hope by now you have been out and have had luck. Thank you for your view and comment!
Just have one X-Terra last week like it I am learning how to set it with your video that a lot to learn me and friends tried it last knight and it work very well .
That terrific that my video helped you, that is exactly why I make these videos! I hope you are able to learn the machine on your outing and I wish you all the best luck in your adventures! Thank you for the view and comment!
This is the machine I recently decided after lots of research to upgrade too. I currently am using an older Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 with a NEL tornado 12” x 13” Double D coil. This machine is amazing with much better updated features
Should I start this hobby with my husband? He really wants me to start and join in with him, and I have to say, this video and unboxing was encouraging to get started!
It really is an awesome detector and if you already like the nox and vanquish, you will be thoroughly impressed at the build quality and feel of the X-Terra Pro. Great machine to have around for friends or family to use occasionally, especially for kids. Thank you for the view and comment!
I plan to buy a higher end Minelab next year. This one would make a great buddy detector for a friend to use. Thanks for all the great reviews, tips and information!
At this very affordable price point this is the perfect first detector because you won't get discouraged as it will definitely find many quality treasures. Thank you for the view and comment!
Your videos are the best man. Very informative and I like how you explain everything. I've been researching the X-terra pro and will definitely have one soon.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win I think will be a great water machine. You make excellent videos and I've probably watched them all...tks again
Awesome comment here! Much appreciated to say the least. I am really recommending it to many for a water machine. Thanks you for the view, comment and kind words!
Finally a clear, concise and properly explained/demo'd clip. Cheers Mark Just FYI - The date for the draw is marked as 25 April :) Man.. 11months! Playing the long game ;)
I was a high end welder for years. Had to certify several times on mig, tig and stick. Still do some side work. Have you thought about doing a video on how you repair civil war brass items?
I do get many requests but lot's of the techniques are all concepts I had to figure out on my own. In short I try to reverse the exact forces that acted upon a piece to bend it, try to never heat or get the relic wet so I can preserve the original patina but I will end up doing some videos for sure at some point. As you know as a fellow musician, the Summer takes it's toll on a touring band. We have 85 shows on the books this year so I have to figure out my best use of time for this channel and balance that with having fun out detecting with buddies on adventures too. I was very fortunate to have had a great metal shop in both Jr High School and at my High school as well where I learned of an arc welder, we used cutting torches, brazed and even did cast brass and aluminum castings. All of those skills came to be very useful throughout my adult years. Too bad most schools no longer have these programs. We had auto shop, jewelry making classes, plastics shop, wood shop, metal shop, photography, mechanical drawing and even ROP classes for animal husbandry and butcher shop. Was awesome, I took them all!! Thank you for the view, comment and great idea!
Mark.. dead of winter here in NY, but I picked up a X-Terra Pro for my wife to use and as a backup to my new Nokta Legend, I must say, I've watched your video multiple times, and it really has me pumped to get out there this spring. I've bookmarked your video for when I want a refresher on it, as well to have my wife watch a couple times. I really liked that you shown how to navigate thru the menu's, but also explained what the different settings do, and why you'd want to change them. Wish you had something similar for the Nokta Legend..:) I have to go look for your first field hunt with the XTP to see how it works out. Thanks..
I know you guys are done in for detecting this time of year. I am lucky in the fact that I have year-round digging as far as cold ice or snow goes. Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching the video. It is a fantastic machine especially at that price and you should go watch the field video it was fun and it is very informative as well. Wishing you all the luck out East.
This is so true, so much value in this at this price point. Also how versatile and well-built it is. A lot of people will get this as their first machine and that's fine as there's not too many settings that can confuse people either. I think more people will stay in the hobby because they will actually find things with this first detector. Thank you for the view and for your comment!
Love mine, I hunt daily with mine here on the treasure coast of Florida, works great in wet or dry sand, found many great relics, great machine for the price, Fireman Jim
Mark, all of the manuals that I have ever read, said you are to wrap all the coils wires over the top of the shaft!! lol I have been detecting for 40 years, been using everything from Whites 6000 Di Pro SL to Equinox 700 detectors. It causes less stress on the wire over time. My first Minelab was the Explorer SE with iron mask.
I can definitely see what you mean about that because things pulling the cable from the back of the rod would pull on the boot on the coil whereas things hitting the wire on the front of the rod would protect it from straining the boot. That's a good point. Thank you for your view and advice! Much appreciated
Just now came across your channel while doing research on this same metal detector. After watching this video, I can say you just earned yourself another subscriber. I know I missed the giveaway but its ok. To actually find someone who not only goes into great detail about the machine, but also doesn't show favoritism is very rare these days on here. I've owned 2 other metal detectors. The first being one I got from my oldest brother years ago, had the name tracker as part of the name I can't really remember the name. Last year I bought an Omma off amazon couldn't afford anything else. At the same time, I bout a child's metal detector for my daughter we've had some great fun hunting with them even though she's not even 5 yet. It was priceless to see her face light up with her first find even though it was a nail. I put this exact metal detector on my wish list so who knows maybe Santa will bring me one this year. Thanks again. keep up the great videos. May all your Christmas wishes come true.
Yes it's a fantastic machine at this price!! I just uploaded another X-Terra Pro video this morning. Check it out and I hope you do get one for Christmas! This machine can still be used by your daughter once she gets a few more years older. Seeing kids metal detecting and finding something... Precious moments! Thank you for the view, the subscription and the comments!
Great video.. Your channel rocks. Yes I'm am looking at metal detectors but not sure which one. The Xterra pro would be a good choice. Keep swinging and I will keep watching. Nice giveaway. Good demo,, you are easy to follow on the xterra pro instructions. You got me hooked. Thanks....😊
Thank you sincerely for the kind words, love seeing comments like this! It's a tough time to be in the market for a new machine because there are so many great options! . . . . . Makes it very hard to choose. Thank you again for the view and comment!
Yes, great point, I should have mentioned that, so light and compact that it could easily be carried on a hike. Thank you for the view, comment and idea!!
The outstanding tutorial on this machine is the best I have seen, I like the LED pointer you use to get our attention to the correct spot to see what you are doing. I have been looking at many machines and think this will be the one for me. Thank you Great job.
Yes, would have made your decision a lot tougher as the build quality, look, feel and performance gives the Vanquish 540 a good run for the money! Thank you for the view and comment!
Yes and I wouldn't of bought the Simplex + If I knew that the X-Terra Pro was coming up but now The Simplex is collecting Dust and after I got the X-Terra Pro, I tried and turned on the Simplex + again and I didn't realize that it's ALOT of Swaky Tones and really Was hurting my Ears and I have Even went and unsubscribed from the people that are also using the Simplex and Or anything Notka Macro Brand Product's cause it's a JUNK Tone's Detector and I have more Junk Target than good target's and I can see that with the X-Terra Pro and it's going great when I get to a Solid Number and Tone it's time to Dig and I can walk over the jumpy VDI and know that it's a JUNK Target and I have dug up some of the jumpy VDI Targets and was infact a junk signal target but when it's a Coin Tone 🤑💰🤑 ......... it's time to Dig and I have Even lowered the sensitivity down to 12 and still getting Targets that are 4-6 inches deep. But the X-Terra Pro is a definitely telling me when I get to a Junk Target Not too Dig and like the Simplex + and the Garrett's and the Teknetics Detectors that I own The Minelab X-TERRA Pro is the only one that will get the money 💲💲💲 and seriously easy to operate and enjoy.....
Yes, what an amazing machine, we're all lucky to have an opportunity to buy something this powerful and feature packed at this price. Appreciate the view and comment!
Yes, I really like the feature that the arm length is adjustable, perfect for the younger generation to get into the hobby! Thank you for the view, comment and kind words!!
Good tip about the cable ties. I didn't have any so I ordered some from Amazon. About $7 for 120 (a lifetime supply for me). Six inch ties are perfect.
Yes they are so affordable in bulk I don't see why manufactures can't just include a couple with every machine. Thank you for the view, comment and the tip on the correct size/prices!
Well it is a bit of a learning curve coming from knobs, dials and switches but honestly this machine is really easy to use too. A couple times watching this video and your good to go! Thank you for the view and comment as well, much appreciated!!
Thank you! I'm very new to this, and had no clue what to do my first time out. I literally dug out the whole side of a bench on the beach, looking for what was beeping so loud! Come to find out it was the little metal manufacturers tag screwed into the leg of the bench up under the seat of the bench on my first try out there! 🤣🤣🤦♀️ (This was also prior to seeing your video.) I did read the manual, but it read like stereo instructions to me. So I really was just winging it. I did find a penny that day tho besides the bench.. lol. Your tutorial is beyond helpful, down to the smallest detail and it just all makes sense now! I didn't know what sounds, numbers, the little blinking bar was or how to work anything on this machine until I saw your tutorial. Thank you very much for your explanation on everything! I can't wait to go out tomorrow and try again! Happy hunting! 😁
Yes, Minelab really set the bar crazy high on this release. Hard to believe the price with all of these features, performance and build quality. Thank you for the view and comment!
My husband asked me to watch this, to like it, subscribe, and comment to enter the giveaway. He's really trying to get me to start this with him! I sure love his efforts! 😂 Thanks for the video! You make it look easy, and this was actually really encouraging!
Yes, this machine is very easy to use and it will absolutely find treasure so you won't get discouraged! I hope you can try the hobby whether you win the giveaway or not but here's wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway! Thank you for the view, subscription and comment!
Thank you. ive searched for weeks looking at a detector....found one then came across this video.Thank you, i am definatly buying one. Subscribed too..
Nice congratulations on buying this machine is a fantastic and very capable machine. It will not end up in your garage or in your closet you will use it and find treasure with it and do very well with it. Thank you for the view and for taking the time to leave a comment!
I would have to agree, this is the perfect way to introduce anyone to this hobby as it will find treasure and not discourage anyone. So well built with incredible performance at this price! Thanks for the view and comment!
Great video!... I bought one several weeks ago and took my adult son out yesterday... he enjoyed it do much after finding some coins that he pre-ordered one yesterday. I need to get another one my my youngest son :) Subscribed, thks
I have to say I was a nokta makro guy but if I don't win this I'm going to go right out and buy it because I just watched the whole video and I think it is amazing
Edit And Now that I have it in my Hands WoW 😮 WoW and I love ❤️ it and I don't have to be at Full Sensitivity and I have started with 12 Sensitivity on the X-Terra Pro and digging deep enough for me that I don't need to be at anything else Higher than 18 Sensitivity but I mainly stay with 12 Sensitivity....
I have been in the market looking not knowing what to get in the last week or two I've been reading about the Xterra and I came across your video I didn't even notice it said giveaway it's a complete guide to the Xterra Pro. Definitely seem like a stand-up guy it definitely know your stuff.
Sincerely appreciate the kind words! I actually gave away 3 of these detectors when they first came out. Giveaways are almost impossible now and are now actually illegal in California!! 🤔 Thank you for the view and comment!
Hey Mark, thanks for the very informative video about the new Minelab X-Terra Pro. I look forward to seeing you take this new machine out & test it in the field. Just found your channel and I'm glad that I did. Subscribed. 👍
So glad I found your channel, you have such good information on these detectors. I’ll keep my eye out for one of these for my son, would make a great 10th birthday present!
Really great video, thanks so much for the awesome information and getting me pointed the right direction with my new X-Terra Pro. This is my first metal detector, and an hour ago I had absolutely no clue how to operate it. Now I have a great foundation with this thing, and I’m ready to start building my own expertise. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you for watching the video and for your comment! You will do very well with the machine as it is a very capable machine not like most other inexpensive metal detectors that users get frustrated with because I never find anything but nails. This machine is fantastic and built extremely well and performs right up there alongside some of the machines that cost four or five times more. Thanks again for watching
For sure, good for any age group and the adjustable arm length is the key to getting this machine into the hands of the younger generation. They will find treasure and not be discouraged. Thank you for the view and comment!
Thank you for the very informative video, you covered everything about the xterra pro and all its features. I recently purchased this item and I mean yesterday recent hahaha so I'm watching your video so I can Learn more about the xterra pro. and you have told me all I need to know for now. thanks again for sharing this video with us.
It is both simpler and more Compact and lightweight as well. It is not as powerful as that multi-frequency technology in the Etrac. But at this price, this machine is very capable. Thank you for the view and comment!
Hey Brass went out and used my new XTP yesterday wow swinging the factory coil for 2 hours yikes it was a workout for sure. Now I know why I see so many 6 inch coils now! Appreciate the details for sure!
Thank you as well for the view and for leaving a comment. If you buy this machine you will do very well it is a fantastic machine and very capable so if you're new to the Hobby I assure you that you won't get frustrated if you have this machine.
Sorry I had to upload it twice, email me your mailing address (my email is in the description of all of my videos and I will send you that compass!!) 😉 As always . . . Thank you for the view and comment!
My son is a metal detecting fanatic, having found many dollars worth of chains, rings, lots of various coins, and lots of other stuff. He is trying to get me interested as well, but being an absolute beginner, this seems like a good investment.
It's a fantastic hobby, it's always exciting find treasures and the fact that you can actually have a hobby that pays for itself is rare too. Great exercise going out on adventures, hiking and getting up and down to dig, etc. Thank you for the view and comment!

Great machine at this price, they swung for the fences with the X-Terra Pro, incredible value! Thank you for the view and comment!
Nice way of explaining the new Minelab X-Terra Pro
Thank you for the view, comment and kind words!! Much appreciated! 🤠
As a new user, I find your instructions as best in its class. Thank you very much 😊
Thank you so much for the view and kind comment!
Thank you and Placerville Hardware for the opportunity.
Looks like a good machine can't wait to see your live digs.
I was a high end welder for years. Had to certify several times on mig, tig and stick. Still do some side work. Have you thought about doing a video on how you repair civil war brass items?
I do get many requests but lot's of the techniques are all concepts I had to figure out on my own. In short I try to reverse the exact forces that acted upon a piece to bend it, try to never heat or get the relic wet so I can preserve the original patina but I will end up doing some videos for sure at some point. As you know as a fellow musician, the Summer takes it's toll on a touring band. We have 85 shows on the books this year so I have to figure out my best use of time for this channel and balance that with having fun out detecting with buddies on adventures too. I was very fortunate to have had a great metal shop in both Jr High School and at my High school as well where I learned of an arc welder, we used cutting torches, brazed and even did cast brass and aluminum castings. All of those skills came to be very useful throughout my adult years. Too bad most schools no longer have these programs. We had auto shop, jewelry making classes, plastics shop, wood shop, metal shop, photography, mechanical drawing and even ROP classes for animal husbandry and butcher shop. Was awesome, I took them all!! Thank you for the view, comment and great idea!
Mark.. dead of winter here in NY, but I picked up a X-Terra Pro for my wife to use and as a backup to my new Nokta Legend, I must say, I've watched your video multiple times, and it really has me pumped to get out there this spring. I've bookmarked your video for when I want a refresher on it, as well to have my wife watch a couple times. I really liked that you shown how to navigate thru the menu's, but also explained what the different settings do, and why you'd want to change them. Wish you had something similar for the Nokta Legend..:) I have to go look for your first field hunt with the XTP to see how it works out. Thanks..
I know you guys are done in for detecting this time of year. I am lucky in the fact that I have year-round digging as far as cold ice or snow goes. Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching the video. It is a fantastic machine especially at that price and you should go watch the field video it was fun and it is very informative as well. Wishing you all the luck out East.
Haven't seen one bad thing about this detector and from experience is an excellent machine.❤
This is so true, so much value in this at this price point. Also how versatile and well-built it is. A lot of people will get this as their first machine and that's fine as there's not too many settings that can confuse people either. I think more people will stay in the hobby because they will actually find things with this first detector. Thank you for the view and for your comment!
It's a really nice machine ! Good luck everyone.
It really is, thank you as always for your view and comment!!
Love mine, I hunt daily with mine here on the treasure coast of Florida, works great in wet or dry sand, found many great relics, great machine for the price, Fireman Jim
Thank you for checking in from the Treasure Coast! I'm glad your having success with it and thank you for the view and comment!
I love minelab machines, would love to win this.
Thank you for the view and comment! Best of luck to you in the giveaway!!
Mark, all of the manuals that I have ever read, said you are to wrap all the coils wires over the top of the shaft!! lol I have been detecting for 40 years, been using everything from Whites 6000 Di Pro SL to Equinox 700 detectors. It causes less stress on the wire over time. My first Minelab was the Explorer SE with iron mask.
I can definitely see what you mean about that because things pulling the cable from the back of the rod would pull on the boot on the coil whereas things hitting the wire on the front of the rod would protect it from straining the boot. That's a good point. Thank you for your view and advice! Much appreciated
Just now came across your channel while doing research on this same metal detector. After watching this video, I can say you just earned yourself another subscriber. I know I missed the giveaway but its ok. To actually find someone who not only goes into great detail about the machine, but also doesn't show favoritism is very rare these days on here. I've owned 2 other metal detectors. The first being one I got from my oldest brother years ago, had the name tracker as part of the name I can't really remember the name. Last year I bought an Omma off amazon couldn't afford anything else. At the same time, I bout a child's metal detector for my daughter we've had some great fun hunting with them even though she's not even 5 yet. It was priceless to see her face light up with her first find even though it was a nail. I put this exact metal detector on my wish list so who knows maybe Santa will bring me one this year. Thanks again. keep up the great videos. May all your Christmas wishes come true.
Yes it's a fantastic machine at this price!! I just uploaded another X-Terra Pro video this morning. Check it out and I hope you do get one for Christmas! This machine can still be used by your daughter once she gets a few more years older. Seeing kids metal detecting and finding something... Precious moments! Thank you for the view, the subscription and the comments!
I've really been looking at one of these for a water machine.
Great machine for that purpose! Thank you for the view and comment!
Great video.. Your channel rocks. Yes I'm am looking at metal detectors but not sure which one. The Xterra pro would be a good choice. Keep swinging and I will keep watching.
Nice giveaway. Good demo,, you are easy to follow on the xterra pro instructions.
You got me hooked. Thanks....😊
Thank you sincerely for the kind words, love seeing comments like this! It's a tough time to be in the market for a new machine because there are so many great options! . . . . . Makes it very hard to choose. Thank you again for the view and comment!
Looks like a good detector for the pack pack for those hike in spots
Yes, great point, I should have mentioned that, so light and compact that it could easily be carried on a hike. Thank you for the view, comment and idea!!
The outstanding tutorial on this machine is the best I have seen, I like the LED pointer you use to get our attention to the correct spot to see what you are doing. I have been looking at many machines and think this will be the one for me. Thank you Great job.
Thank you kindly for the wonderful comments! I can absolutely recommend this machine, you will have suceess and lots of fun with it!
Great information can’t wait for your upcoming videos on this machine. I wish it was available when I bought my vanquish 540 a few years ago.
Yes, would have made your decision a lot tougher as the build quality, look, feel and performance gives the Vanquish 540 a good run for the money! Thank you for the view and comment!
Yes and I wouldn't of bought the Simplex + If I knew that the X-Terra Pro was coming up but now The Simplex is collecting Dust and after I got the X-Terra Pro, I tried and turned on the Simplex + again and I didn't realize that it's ALOT of Swaky Tones and really Was hurting my Ears and I have Even went and unsubscribed from the people that are also using the Simplex and Or anything Notka Macro Brand Product's cause it's a JUNK Tone's Detector and I have more Junk Target than good target's and I can see that with the X-Terra Pro and it's going great when I get to a Solid Number and Tone it's time to Dig and I can walk over the jumpy VDI and know that it's a JUNK Target and I have dug up some of the jumpy VDI Targets and was infact a junk signal target but when it's a Coin Tone 🤑💰🤑 ......... it's time to Dig and I have Even lowered the sensitivity down to 12 and still getting Targets that are 4-6 inches deep. But the X-Terra Pro is a definitely telling me when I get to a Junk Target Not too Dig and like the Simplex + and the Garrett's and the Teknetics Detectors that I own The Minelab X-TERRA Pro is the only one that will get the money 💲💲💲 and seriously easy to operate and enjoy.....
This is on my wish list! I am really excited!
Best of luck in the giveaway. Thank you for the view and comment! 🤠
Thanks for your video, we are learning a lot about handling this X terra pro. I hope we are going to practice real quick outdoor.
Thank you for the view and comment, you will do well with this machine!! Best of luck.
This is a great video to refer on the X-Terra Pro
Thank you for the view, comment and your kind words!!
Very helpful to a first time user. I now know my way around the features. Can't wait until to see the field test video.
Thank you for the view and kind comment! Here is the field test video. Enjoy!
Just got a new xterra pro on ebay for $200. This was very helpful. Can't wait to try it out.
That's a great deal!! It really is a great machine at that price, you will do well with it. Thank you for the view and comment!
I'm very impressed with the Xterra pro. I plan on getting one soon.
Yes, what an amazing machine, we're all lucky to have an opportunity to buy something this powerful and feature packed at this price. Appreciate the view and comment!
Enjoyed your walk through of this exciting new detector; looks like a winner!
So far so good, very impressed with this machine, especially the build quality, feel and the value. Thank you for the view and comment!
Thanks for your videos. They are very informative. This detector would be a good one for my son to start out with.
Yes, I really like the feature that the arm length is adjustable, perfect for the younger generation to get into the hobby! Thank you for the view, comment and kind words!!
Good tip about the cable ties. I didn't have any so I ordered some from Amazon. About $7 for 120 (a lifetime supply for me). Six inch ties are perfect.
Yes they are so affordable in bulk I don't see why manufactures can't just include a couple with every machine. Thank you for the view, comment and the tip on the correct size/prices!
Sweet video, i need it.... big learning curve for me going from a tesoro cibola.
Well it is a bit of a learning curve coming from knobs, dials and switches but honestly this machine is really easy to use too. A couple times watching this video and your good to go! Thank you for the view and comment as well, much appreciated!!
We just picked one up, thanks for the info !
Nice! I have no complaints really so far, very impressed in everyway at this price point. Thank you for the view and comment!
Great video buddy! Thank you for another awesome introduction to what looks to be a great machine! Cant wait until you get it out to test it.
Thank you Dan, Best of luck in the giveaway! Appreciate the view and comment!
Thank you! I'm very new to this, and had no clue what to do my first time out. I literally dug out the whole side of a bench on the beach, looking for what was beeping so loud! Come to find out it was the little metal manufacturers tag screwed into the leg of the bench up under the seat of the bench on my first try out there! 🤣🤣🤦♀️ (This was also prior to seeing your video.) I did read the manual, but it read like stereo instructions to me. So I really was just winging it. I did find a penny that day tho besides the bench.. lol. Your tutorial is beyond helpful, down to the smallest detail and it just all makes sense now! I didn't know what sounds, numbers, the little blinking bar was or how to work anything on this machine until I saw your tutorial. Thank you very much for your explanation on everything! I can't wait to go out tomorrow and try again! Happy hunting! 😁
Well thank you sincerely for the kinds gm words and view. Much appreciated! Great machine and you will fldo well with it
All into minlab!! Wow that's crazy. Thinks for telling us
Yes, Minelab really set the bar crazy high on this release. Hard to believe the price with all of these features, performance and build quality. Thank you for the view and comment!

Thank you for the view and comment and best of luck in the giveaway!!
I have to say I was a nokta makro guy but if I don't win this I'm going to go right out and buy it because I just watched the whole video and I think it is amazing
Yes very much thinking of the X-Terra Pro
Edit And Now that I have it in my Hands WoW 😮 WoW and I love ❤️ it and I don't have to be at Full Sensitivity and I have started with 12 Sensitivity on the X-Terra Pro and digging deep enough for me that I don't need to be at anything else Higher than 18 Sensitivity but I mainly stay with 12 Sensitivity....
I have been in the market looking not knowing what to get in the last week or two I've been reading about the Xterra and I came across your video I didn't even notice it said giveaway it's a complete guide to the Xterra Pro. Definitely seem like a stand-up guy it definitely know your stuff.
Sincerely appreciate the kind words! I actually gave away 3 of these detectors when they first came out. Giveaways are almost impossible now and are now actually illegal in California!! 🤔 Thank you for the view and comment!
Hey Mark, thanks for the very informative video about the new Minelab X-Terra Pro. I look forward to seeing you take this new machine out & test it in the field. Just found your channel and I'm glad that I did. Subscribed. 👍
I like the Xterra pro . Thank you for your informative introduction to this machine.
Thanks for the info. Looks like a great machine for a beginner, so simplistic yet durable and a good name behind the machine.
Just bought one I’m in Australia, your instructions on how to use it are very helpful thank you
Looks like a great detector. Thank you for sharing the info and the detector
Appreciate the view and comment!! Best of luck in the giveaway.
Thank you. I am new to MD and looking forward to getting started
It's a fantastic, fun and rewarding hobby. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video.
Thanks much for posting this video! Very informative. Helped me learn about my X-Terra that I just got.
Your welcome, I'm glad that you found it useful. Thank you for your view and kind comment!
I just found your channel and I'm enjoying it. Thank you!!
Thank you for stopping by! And the view and comment are much appreciated!
So glad I found your channel, you have such good information on these detectors. I’ll keep my eye out for one of these for my son, would make a great 10th birthday present!
Really great video, thanks so much for the awesome information and getting me pointed the right direction with my new X-Terra Pro. This is my first metal detector, and an hour ago I had absolutely no clue how to operate it. Now I have a great foundation with this thing, and I’m ready to start building my own expertise. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you for watching the video and for your comment! You will do very well with the machine as it is a very capable machine not like most other inexpensive metal detectors that users get frustrated with because I never find anything but nails. This machine is fantastic and built extremely well and performs right up there alongside some of the machines that cost four or five times more. Thanks again for watching
Awesome Vid great for grandkids and Pros as well
For sure, good for any age group and the adjustable arm length is the key to getting this machine into the hands of the younger generation. They will find treasure and not be discouraged. Thank you for the view and comment!
Thank you for the video! I just received my X-Tera pro and your video is huge help!
And finally enjoying my Xterra Pro
Just ordered mine ...can't wait...thank you for video
Nice! Catching up on old comments here but thank you for the view and your comment!

Sorry the robots got to you.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Very helpful! Best of luck!
Yes, they are still attacking my video daily but I am keeping them at bay for now. Thank you for the view and comment! 🤠
I have a Minelab etrac, i bought in 2008. But I haven't used it in a while. I was thinking of getting this one because it's simpler to operate.
It is both simpler and more Compact and lightweight as well. It is not as powerful as that multi-frequency technology in the Etrac. But at this price, this machine is very capable. Thank you for the view and comment!
Hey Brass went out and used my new XTP yesterday wow swinging the factory coil for 2 hours yikes it was a workout for sure. Now I know why I see so many 6 inch coils now! Appreciate the details for sure!
Best video on this machine I have seen. I have one on order already
Thank you for the introduction to this great machine. I am new to metal detecting.
Thank you as well for the view and for leaving a comment. If you buy this machine you will do very well it is a fantastic machine and very capable so if you're new to the Hobby I assure you that you won't get frustrated if you have this machine.
I’m so excited. I just bought one. Machine in one hand and your guide on my iPad 😎👍
@@juliedrake8505 That's awesome, congratulations!! Lmk if any questions.

Sorry I had to upload it twice, email me your mailing address (my email is in the description of all of my videos and I will send you that compass!!) 😉 As always . . . Thank you for the view and comment!
My son is a metal detecting fanatic, having found many dollars worth of chains, rings, lots of various coins, and lots of other stuff. He is trying to get me interested as well, but being an absolute beginner, this seems like a good investment.
It's a fantastic hobby, it's always exciting find treasures and the fact that you can actually have a hobby that pays for itself is rare too. Great exercise going out on adventures, hiking and getting up and down to dig, etc. Thank you for the view and comment!
