Old vs New Minelab Metal Detectors

We set out to Compare the Minelab X-Terra 705 and the Minelab Equinox 800 on an old town site. We wanted to see the comparison between the 2 detectors in sound and ID numbers over the same targets. More awesome relics and coins were found.

Hope you enjoy and cheers for watching from the Groty Gold Team.

Equipment Used:
Minelab X-Terra 705
Minelab Equinox 800
Minelab Pro-Find 25

nicely made video... your site was a great choice. comparing the 2 detectors encouraged me to get out with the 705 and put it to use.

I feel a lot better about my Xterra 705! The Nox is good but I still have to see where it is superior except in underwater detecting. Great hunt!

[royallan]

Enjoyed? Thoroughly is mr answer.I could pick the finds before you dug when you used the terra but only use my nox once so new numbers to remember.I checked the 15 inch coil today for the nox ..the elliptical and sells for almost $400 oh boy

Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing your hunt and finds. Nice comparison. So many great finds. That pin fire shell was very interesting. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Wow, nice finds, guys! Finding a florin must be amazing! Love the old medallion, too. Nice comparison of the machines! Have a great week!😊

Hi Alicia & Steve, that's a nice cross selection of coins & jewellery you found. Thanks for showing a comparison between the NOX & the 705, it would be interesting to compare them for maximum reliable detection depth one day. That Victory Medal is an excellent find as it has its top loop attached. Pretty cool finding the 12G Pin Fire Shot Shell the base sure is in good condition.
Thanks for sharing. Great as always. Cheers. GL&HH. 👍

In the site you are hunting I would pick the X-Terra 705 over the Equinox 800. I use both detectors the X-Terra 705 and the Equinox 800.

Good to see Xterra 705 still making great finds, I own one since some years now with 3kHz and 7.5 kHz coils, maybe in future I will get the Equinox but I will keep my Xterrra

[DetectaBull]

Awesome team effort, great finds yet again!!! Well done

I bought a 2nd hand X-terra a few years back, just in time for all the lockdowns, so I haven't had much of a chance to use it yet. It's good to see that it's quite a useful bit of kit, once I finally learn to use it properly. My one beef is that there's no external battery pack for them.
On thing I noticed, when you dig a find out, do you ever check to see if there's anything else in the same spot?
