What a great time to be a Medal Detector buyer! The Elite is such a capable machine at a great value thatI could not pass up the opportunity to purchase a new Minelab Xterra Elite Expendition Pack which includes the V12X Coil with Skidplate, the V8X Coil with Skidplate and the ML-85 Wireless headphones.
Im torn , is it worth going with an equinox or just get this? would you say their performance is pretty much the same. ( i use to have a 600 but sold it and i want to get back into metal detecting)
Some Good stuff. The 700 does it do just as good if not better. Just wondering. I know you have the 900 and there is a slight difference in the 2. thanks for doing these test videos.. Happy Hunting. Peace
There is a big difference in customization features between the Elite, 700, and 900. If I had to pick one and money wasn't an option I would pick the 900 just because I can craft custom programs where I'm limited the others. Performance wise the Elite and 700 are pretty close.
Thanks. Procrastinated on the Pro since last year. Like the price for what it was/is BUT actually decided on the Elite because of the multiQ with them saying it doesn't jump as much.. So the expedition pack adding 3 extra things i considered getting anyway Which adds up to About three hundred bucks.. Which would make the detector 300 bucks..Not much more than the Pro Anyway.
you pro'ly gonna hit that dime and nail better with recovery speed of 1, my Xterra Pro struggles hitting a walker half 7.5 inch deep with two nails on top. the update helps better tho.
The Elite is just a pro with multi IQ. Given the name "Elite" Minelab should have added a 20khz and a 40khz single frequency to match the 3 single frequencies on the pro but higher frequency for gold on the Elite. Just my opinion.
Testing my ELITE tomorrow, so excited
Its a nice machine.
My elite is coming today 🎉for the wife, love my Manticore for me, thanks for all the great Videos!!!
thank you sir for you support. My pleasure.

Awesome I hope you enjoy it.
@@MentalMetal Thanks MM!
Informative video, single frequency works well in East TN soil, would like to see more of the screen if possible, keep it up buddy
Thanks!
Wow, extremely impressive
I was surprised myself
Your tutorials and guidance are very helpful. I'll be testing out my new Elite this weekend. Thanks.
Thank you. I hope you like it.

I personally love the 900 but the Elite is very capable machine you just don't have some of the key configurations that I prefer.
Thanks for vid and information seem like good machine. Thanks Rocky for your involvement of making this vid great.😂
haha thanks!
Is this the best detector for the price?

@@MentalMetal Thank You ..
great video, the performance is very good. Decent machine in the price range.
Thanks man!

Looks like a great machine.
It really is a nice machine for the money.

maybe they will update in the future
If they did that they would harm sales of the 700? It has to sit in the bracket above it and the elite can’t be a rival?
Yeah, 15 khz is a good frequency. My MXT Pro used to kill it and that runs 15Khz, well until it was stolen.
Looks like a decent little machine.
I think it is for the money
Looks to me like this vdi is just as jumpy as the Xtp in the single frequency..
I believe Recovery #1 is deepest no?
If you lower your recover speed, yes you will get additional depth. Maybe a half inch or inch extra but nothing earth shattering.
@@MentalMetal Gotchya. 👍
Thanks.. Was curious.
If it's a big difference.@@MentalMetal
See alot sensitivity they up it thinking it is volume lol 😂..
Not worth the upgrade
Others would disagree
