Hello all,
I have been using an ML excalibur for a lot of years and previously did a lot of water detecting.
Now I live in Missouri and do mostly land detecting.
I've never seen an x-terra 70 other than pics.
I am wondering about the tones.
Recently I have had some hearing loss and I can't pick out silver tones on the excal very well any more.

Is the x-terra 70 variable tone like the excal?
I know it has a meter which should help I'm sure -- in 30+ years detecting I have never had a meter...
Guess I'm not much of a meter guy.

I'm thinking about trading my excal off and going for an x-terra ---
mostly because I can't afford an explorer and the x-terra seems like the next best machine.
Anyone got some other thoughts ?
throw them at me as all input is appreciated !!

Have a great day !
Mike
 
Well if you're hearing is getting off on the excal with high tones then I suspect the Sovereign is out too.
The X-Terra 70 has selectable tones and since I also have a high tone hearing problem too .... I CAN highly recommend the 70. Sometimes I run the tones on 2 or 3 or 4 and even started out using the 99 tones set-up ... but bottom line is that you have a CHOICE of what you want to hear ! Oh and by the way, I mainly hunt by sound first and foremost simply because that's what I'm use to .... but the ID information is pretty neat to have too, just don't get to dependant on it and you'll be fine:)

I hate growing old.... sounds like silver all the time :rofl:
Based on your reply I will seriously consider the 70

Thanks again,
Mike in SW Missouri
