Hey Keno,
The X1 probe is an absolute necessity for the XS if you want to turn your machine into the ultimate practical/efficient detector.
The X1 reduces the amount of time you must spend in a hole because you can locate the target fast and identify the target without seeing it. You find the target fast, you know what it is, you can decide if you want to spend the time to recover it or not.
The X1 helps you prevent coin damage. You can pinpoint the coin and dig around it.
The X1 gets about 2.75 or 3 inches of depth on a dime sized coin. This is very good for locating the target quickly.
The X1 probe connects directly into the XS circuitry and is controlled by the XS's controls exactly like the main search coil is. This means that you can use discrimination on the probe to be able to hear what the target is (iron vs. silver) so you can decide whether or not to recover the target.
The probe is mounted directly to your machine so you don't have to carry it around in your pocket or in another hand.
You can hear the probe thru the headphones (just like the main search coil).
Having this probe reduces the amount of time needed to learn the sounds of trash vs. coins because because instead of spending 5 minutes per hole looking for the target, you are spending 2 minutes. In other words, you can hear then compare what is actually in the ground, and then get on to the next target quicker.

that after such a long time, FINALLY, there is one coming out for the MXT/DFX.
IMO, That says quite a lot, considering what there is already available in as far "off line" stand alone" search probes go. Having ANY search probe is always better not not having one.( though,if you speak to the some blokes that have been detecting for years and even some newbies that MAY NOT agree).
The X-1 and it's concept, simply put, in most cases, is a second "on-board" coil.
Shaped like it is ie: long probe like, you will switch to it mostly when you are trying to locate that elusive target you have found primarily with the larger search coil.
Contrary to past info, it has nothing to do with NOT being able to pin point properly, it is simply a REAL handy accessory that helps a lot with speeding up recovery of the object and definition of what the object is.
There has been many a time where I have been tempted to and have done so, to walk away from a detected target, because I just couldn
 
also i think i'm going to put this on my list as my next item to purchase for my explore xs, this year i bought the 15 wot coil for and i love it, but this x-1 is a must have item for any explore, i know i have had my fair share of holes dug without retrieveing my target just because i couldnt locate it with my metal probe in the hole, only to cover the hole back up to get that signal again i hated that.....i really like the idea of using the headphones and how its combines with the explore to make one unit, i cant wait 2 get one...
 
If You do any competition hunts the X1 is a GREAT tool! When Competition hunting I will swing the coil until I get a signal then visually notice the area the coil is in and kneel or bend dow, flip the X1 on and lay it flat to the ground, slideing it across the target and after I get the general vicinity of the coin I use the tip of the probe to PP and pick up the coin and I'm off to the next! This works great for hunts where the coins are strown in grassy areas similar to Easter Egg hunts or shallow burried coins. This will lesson the time used finding the coin and put more in your pouch! I am a BIG fan of the X1 and ig I hadn't just traded my MXT I'd be getting one for it!
