I think there is a few youtube videos of this comparison between detectors.
I had the Xterra Pro & it seemed to be a great detector.
I also have the Nox 900 & it is a great machine also. It has more user option settings that my pro.
From the videos I have watched the Xterra Elite is great detector also. No slouch by any means.

Yeah I haven't even updated my Nox 900 yet with the new software update. I believe the Xterra Elite already has a modified version of the same software that the Nox 900 received recently.

So maybe they both run the same frequencies but the Nox 900 just has more customizable options?

That Is what I like about the XTerra Pro.

I thought it was the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of quarters you found with it?
I recall iffy signals, in one of his recent videos, saying something to the effect that the XTE uses the same processor as the 700 and the XTE is basically a 700 without a few of the more advanced settings. Considering the Expedition Pack comes with 2 coils and the wireless phones, that's a pretty good deal for the money especially if you're one who probably won't be messing around with advanced settings.

Yeah I don't care for minelabs 11" coil for the Manticore or the Nox 900.
Yeah I think from the few videos I have watched of the Xterra Elite it's going to be a great detector. It really is a good price if you consider the package deal with the coils, headphones & such.

Personally I think a better comparison would be between the XTerra Elite and the XTerra Pro, but that is just me..
For example, I bought the XTP, extra coil, and waterproof headphones and have $478 in it… the detector has already paid for itself in quarters alone, and is a great detector.. from what I see, the Elite is the same detector except for the multifrequency operation and the iron bias function… both are nice features, but I think with what I have invested in the XTP for what I use it for, and being I already have an 800, I really do not have any need for those extras.
Just my thoughts…

I've been working both the pro and the elite within the past month or so. I am lucky to have very mild soil here in nw ohio. If you are using the xt pro, you are not giving up much at all to the elite. Now, in heavier mineralized soil, that may change and I don't have access to any salt beaches so i can't speak for that.

So I this machine much different from the 800. Spent alot of time with the 800 seems OK on the slope .seems to do OK. Is there an advantage.

As stated in one of my posts above, I also have an 800 and by no means using the XTP to replace it…
I love the 800 and if not for a chance of leaks while using it in the water, I would not have bought the XTP.
With that said, I feel confident about using the XTP in the water and it has been in the water quite a times already and so far, no issues.
I like the fact that I can use the same headphones and coils from my 800 on it if I wish and it’s capability to work on saltwater beaches make it a great choice for me and a great backup for my 800.
When you refer to “slope” I am assuming you mean the surfline at the beach?
I have not tried the XTP there yet, but my 800 does well there as far as I am concerned.

Yes down to the line I am to old to get pounced by waves . If you hunt obx it is a bitch. If you hunt in say Augustine FL a totally different situation. Like a lake with none to very moderate waves. One has a steep cut the other has none.
