    X-TERRA PRO WIRELESS HEADPHONES

    The ML85 headphones are now showing up at some dealers. Typical price is $109 - less expensive than our Nox 800 ML80 headphones at $149. A dealer in Maryland just received the ML85s. Expect to pay over $100 for ANY Bluetooth APTX LL headphones for any purpose.

    Nox 900 headphone options

    Well, I was looking for waterproof headphones for my wife to use with her X-Terra Pro and after some research settled on a pair of Detecting Adventures Thresher waterproof phones. They arrived yesterday and I'm very impressed after a short bit of air testing. They are very comfortable, have a...

    Detecting Adventure submersible headphones for minelab detectors

    Has anyone tried the Detector Adventure waterproof headphones? If so, any comments on build and sound quality? I haven't found any reviews anywhere.

    X-TERRA PRO...or Vanquish 440???

    The XTP will use any wired waterproof headphones that the Equinox or Manticore use. Same connector. If you want to go wireless with non-waterproof headphones you will need to purchase one of those Bluetooth transmitters to be able to use the XTP with standard APTX LL Bluetooth headphones. Look...

    Are the Equinox coils that work with Xterra Pro better then stock coil - do they help stabilize the VDI?

    Yes. No noticeable change in stability for me. Most of the usual targets that the XTP hits hard, like US coins will typically have a 2-3 digit “bounce” if they're in decent condition and in a relatively “clean” location like a wood chip tot lot and not too deep. A corroded zinc penny, for...

    Are the Equinox coils that work with Xterra Pro better then stock coil - do they help stabilize the VDI?

    Doubtful that the coils contribute any instability issues. The 600/800 have a 50 TDI scale while the XTP and the 700/900 have 119 TDI scaling. That expanded scaling is more than likely creating the appearance of instability vs the 600/800.

    I did everything!

    From detecting for many years on AMI beaches with my 800, the sand there is mineral free. All metal (horseshoe ON) in the water and on the wet or dry Sand. Set your GB manually to 0 and go detecting. 0 for dry, wet and in the water. I use 2 tones, Beach 2 in the water and dig everything that...

    I did everything!

    Yes. You can download the manual. Really worth doing that if you want to get the most out of your detector.

    I did everything!

    fwcrawford nailed it. Go with his recommendation and you'll do well on AMI although many, like me, have been priced out of vacationing there. It was a great place to metal detect when it affordable.

    11' Equinox Coil repair questions

    Gigmaster has done Equinox coil ear repairs. Here's a link to a YouTube video he posted: I reinforced my Nox 800 coil ears (had both 11” coil ears break & Minelab replaced coil under warranty - now expired) on the replacement coil before those could also break. Used the Gorilla 2 part epoxy...

    Why all the 800 hate?

    I've had my 800 since Feb. 2018. It's been completely submerged in salt and fresh water too many times to count and has never leaked. Works like a charm everywhere I've taken it.

    Shallow water hunt with the Equinox 800

    Editing my post above… I looked for a link for GorillaWeld 2-Part Adhesive so I could include it. Couldn't find one even on Gorilla's site 😥 It appears they've changed the name to Steel Bond as in Pest's link. I'll be having crow for supper! Specs are exactly the same so the Steel Bond version...

    Shallow water hunt with the Equinox 800

    The Gorilla product I used is “Heavy Duty GorillaWeld 2-Part Adhesive”, not “Steel Bond Epoxy” if that helps. The 2-Part Adhesive is good for ABS plastic which is what the coil and the plastic for reinforcing both are. I don't know how well the Steel Bond will work. JB Weld also make a product...

    Shallow water hunt with the Equinox 800

    Under warranty - go for it! I haven't heard of or seen any postings of Equinox 600/800 broken coil ears or leaking control pods in a year or more. I did reinforce my coil ears: a year or two ago and the ears are rock solid. I've owned my 800 since Feb. 2018 and had it completely submerged in...

    Nox 800 headphone not working.

    Blinking blue and red indicates the headphones are in pairing mode. Has nothing to do with charging. Read page 56 of the Equinox manual (download online if you don't have it) and run through the pairing instructions.

    Xterra pro = short coin hunt

    My wife's XTP hits silver dimes at 82 VDI and clad dimes at 80 if that helps. Copper pennies also hit at 80 just to make life interesting 😎

    Carry bag for XxTerra Pro?

    Found the perfect bag: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J1MTYX7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details XTP fits perfectly when the shaft is turned 90 degrees and slightly shortened. Decent padding. $37. 😃 This bag will also fit the Nox 600 & 800.

    X-TERRA PRO WIRELESS HEADPHONES

    I ordered this travel carry bag for my wife's XTP: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J1MTYX7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It's supposed to fit a Nox 600/800 so the XTP should fit with the shaft slightly shortened and the coil rotated 90 degrees and attached. Pretty decent ratings. $25...
