    Pro v Elite.

    I've found that if you're going to air test, it's best to do it with the coil on the ground so it has something to GB against. Then test by moving the item you're testing above the coil. The results tend to be a bit more realistic. These machines really do need to GB against something more than...

    FWIW, I've never had an issue with Coiltek coils breaking the ears or anything else. I don't foresee a problem with that coil, especially since it appears they even reinforced the ears with gussets.

    I've got a NOX-15" for my PRO, but haven't really had a lot of opportunity to use it yet. Hopefully I'll change that this summer.

    I would say either Agate or Jasper.

    In the OP he said he wanted it for his Xterra Pro. I picked up the NOX-15 to use on my Pro, and it works quite well, though I haven't done a side-by-side comparison against the stock coil yet.

    Minelab Warranty Transfer???

    The Xterra Elite is a new model...... came out last year. There's an Xterra Pro now also. They're both part of the new generation of all digital rechargeable line of detectors Minelab makes now.

    Bought a back up for the X-terra.

    To me, the ideal machine would be basically a 705 in the new lightweight rechargeable waterproof pod and a Beach Mode that worked in wet salt like the Pro. It would still have the -8 to 48 TID scale and the same audio as the 705, as well as all the other user definable operating modes and...

    I'm curious about what drew you to the Vanquish. I'm guessing it was simplicity.

    10 years later, I take my X-terra 705 out of storage.

    It's just different. In some ways it's easier, but in other ways it falls short, IMO. I'm an audio hunter, and the audio on the 705 is (again my opinion) superior in terms of what it conveys to the user. I also like the user definable features of the 705 over the Pro that offers more overall...

    If you don't already have it, go to the Minelab website and find the PDF file version of Randy Horton's book "Understanding Your X-Terra". Then, read it twice. It's an easy read and an invaluable resource.
