I recently picked up an X-Terra Elite to augment my Sovereign Elite on the beaches, and I plan on using the X-Terra Elite for coinshooting on land, due to the TID and depth indicators on the screen.

I know I can use NOX coils on my X-Terra Elite, but I don’t think the NOX can use the X-Terra Elite’s coils, so if that’s the case, that’s a bit interesting to me. One can use the other’s coils but not vice-versa?

But what I’m curious about is the price disparity of the X-Terra Elite’s coils vs the NOX coils. The X-Terra Elite’s coils look to sell for about ½ the price of a similar NOX coil. If I recall, I think the X-Terra Elite’s 12” elliptical retails for about $125.00, but a NOX 11” seem to be priced around $225/$250 or so.

Just wondering why the difference in prices between X-Terra Elite’s & NOX coils. Are NOX coils better, heavier duty, or have a built-in transmitter or booster that the X-Terra Elite’s coils may not have? Since we tend to equate price with quality, I’m trying to figure out why X-Terra Elite coils cost much less than NOX coils.

Anyone know why there’s such a large difference in price between X-Terra Elite & NOX coils? And why would an X-Terra Elite be able to use NOX coils, but a NOX can’t use X-Terra Elite’s coils, if that’s the case?

You are correct in the fact that the XTE ( and even the XTP) , can use all of the Equinox coils, but the coils for the XTE and XTP will not work on the Equinox.
As far as to why the coils for the Equinox are much higher, I have no answer.
I recall reading the Minelab musketeer advantage coils will work on all earlier versions of that line, but the coils for the earlier models would not function on the Advantage which I found strange.
