    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Well I finally got my ml-85 headphones and they are currently charging. As soon as it is fully charged I'm going to pair it up with my X-terra Elite. I have to tell you. I will be 69 in October and we will be heading for Cape cod as usual in just about 4 weeks and I can't remember the last...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Excellent tip thank you! I don't remember if the one I ordered has a fiberglass Pole or steel or aluminum. But I really like that idea regardless.

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    I like that idea of dragging it behind me. I did order one on Amazon with the handle. I can see now why that one would be better cuz I wouldn't have to put the detector down and instead could pretty much just use my foot to force the sand scoop into the sand and pull it up. I might see if I can...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Okay. I guess we have different designs because I definitely can't do that with mine LOL. But I think I could rig up a strap or sling of some kind cuz I agree if it hangs off of your hip it'll be bouncing around.

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Actually I like that idea! So did you just tie a strap to it or something like that and hang it off your shoulder?

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Thank you Kevin! I'm going to watch the video by Calabash digger that was suggested. This really is a great community! Do you know if it is allowed or even possible to direct message a member? I kind of looked but didn't see a way to do it. I put the detector together today. I like the way it...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Hello Kevin my name is Frank. It is a pleasure to meet a southern gentleman such as yourself. So you've been detecting for over 40 years. That is amazing! You have totally convinced me that I made the right choice by getting the elite. I also downloaded the manual and placed it into a binder but...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    That's awesome! I wish you the best of luck with it. You're probably not a newbie like I am but one of the main reasons I went with the elite was because of the presets. I'm a retired test engineer so I'm well versed in electronics and so on, but I got to admit when I read the manual and all of...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Thank you for your suggestion. I'll probably go with the wireless ones. I looked at the thresher which look really nice but I think the wireless would be better. As a newbie, I'm really hoping that the preset on the elite for the beach will be all I really have to do until I get more familiar...

    X-terra Elite headphones and beachcombing.

    Greetings everyone. I am fairly new to metal detecting. I am recently retired and have always wanted to get into this hobby. I started out with a tejnetics Omega 8500 which worked well but was pretty useless for beaches. After seeing posts and recommendations on here I decided to go with the...

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Now that's an endorsement! Going to order it today. This will give me about 3 months to familiarize myself with it before heading to the beaches. Now just want to find wireless headphones for it. Don't really want to spend $150 for them though LOL

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Thank you for that! I really thought the Garrett Apex one was waterproof also. Okay so it sounds like the Xterra elite is the one I'm going to go for. I just hope it's not too difficult to learn to set up for beachcombing. I truly appreciate everyone's help and patience. The only thing left...

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Yeah I couldn't do a thing. It just whines like a baby the entire time LOL. As I said I have no problem using it on land. I know how to use the discriminators in the filters and so on. Just have to decide which one I'm going to get. It's really going to depend on which one is easier to use and...

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Like the Xterra Elite and the Garrett Ace Apex Viper. They are both around the same price and seem to have a very similar specifications. Just wondering which one might be easier for a newbie. Thoughts?

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Thank you both for your recommendations! I was also looking at the Garrett ace Apex viper multi-flex. Going to take a look at the 2 that you guys recommended.

    Omega 8500 beachcombing

    Greetings everyone. Brand new to the forum and brand new to metal detecting. It is a hobby I've always wanted to take part in and now that I am retired I can finally do it. My wife and I go to Cape cod every year for 2 weeks and I was so excited last year to take my new detector and comb the...
