A fair question.-----Anyone here try the Edge and the Xterra 50??

[Gort]

If so which do you feel is the better detector? Both are at about the same price point and both are light detectors. So I think this is a fair question.

thanks in advance

I own an Edge and Xterra70. I have owned the Xterra50. The X50 didn't GB very well in my soil. The X70 has many features and that is good. I will be using the Edge with a 5" coil until Minelab can make a small coil. I like the Edge so well it may become my primary coin machine.

I have owned both machines and still own the X-Terra 50. To me the X-Terra does a better job with the target ID and pinpointing and seems to be a little deeper. The edge seem to run smoothly and operate fine it just did not seem to go that deep or have very good TID. I would go for the X-terra.

In addition to your comments, I also found the small icons in the LCD of the Edge very difficult to read when hunting. Another thing I did not like about the Edge was the delay factor when pressing a program button. And finally, I didn't like not being able to make adjustments to the preset programs. I find the X-Terra series to be much more user friendly in the field. JMHO. Randy

But stock coil for stock coil when hunting old sites I'll go with the Edge every time.

the TID numbers seemed more stable on the Edge.

I own both the Exterra 50 & the ID Edge. I would say the Edge is the better detector.
