Note, I've only had this detector for exactly one week today. Prior to owning this, I bought a $149 detector from Harbor Freight which was a piece of junk so I promptly returned it and got the Xterra Pro. Though I am completely new to metal detecting, this detector got me up and detecting in no time. I've used it to dig up scrap metal(nails, screws, whatever)in my front yard, and to do a bit of coin hunting. I've only really done actual hunting on two occassions. The first was hunting for coins and the second was scrap metal. This was all done mostly in my front yard. The pictures are the results. Most of these were found no deeper than 6 inches under ground.As a novice metal detector, I have nothing but accolades for this detector. Before purchasing this detector, I saw a review on Youtube saying the grip on this detector was a no go for this individual due to arm fatigue. Being a small person, this naturally concerned me. When I first used it, I extended it out so the detector was 3-3.5 feet in front of me and this was causing arm fatigue per the video. I experimented with new postions and found that if I extended it only like 6" -12" in front of me, it solved the arm fatigue issue. Note, I tend to sweep more to my side than directly in front. On top of that, I found it more natural detecting with this posture. Now all the detector does is pull on my arm. It no longer torques my arm like before which was tiring after a while.So how good is it? Unfortunately, I have none to compare it to except the $149 Harbor Freight one and let's just say this is in a league of it's own so how can you. Is it hard to use? Yes if you dont't take the time to learn it. But absolutely not if you do your homework; it's very easy to use. How good is it at finding things? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. All I can say is that if it tells you something is there, it's there. The depth guage is pretty accurate as best I can tell based on all my findings. When it comes to locating the item, based on the signals, I can usually get within a 3.5-4" diameter circle without my Garrett proPointer AT. You have to learn to do this because when the item's too far down, pointers aren't going to be able to detect it. There are no guides that I know of that will teach you how to do this. I've developed my own method. If the item is near the top, I can shrink that circle in half with the Exterra pro alone. It takes practice if you've never metal detected before.It definitely helps if you have a decent understanding of the physics of electricity and magnetism. A coin laying flat is going to give you a different signal than a coin standing up. If you understand electricity & magnetism you will understand why the signals are different. As with anything, you need to use it to learn to speak the machines language. With this Exterra Pro, I've been able to detect tiny,tiny metal parts like staples that are 1/8" x1/4" buried a couple inches under ground.As to the find ratio, everything I've dug up so far puts me at I would say 99%. I can only recall two digs that yielded nothing. With my discrimination settings, my coin hits have been in the 90% range because sometimes I'll hit a bullet casing or some copper of some sort.In summary, this a fantastic detector that is a quality build with lots of features. I highly recommend it. If you are new to detectors, this detector will not disappoint!

Having problems getting a surveyor to come out and mark a corner where a stake was removed so I bought this metal detector to find the rebar corner marker. The driveway where it’s located is nothing but sand with limerock on the surface so I figured this would be duck soup easy. I ended up digging 4 holes of nothing before finally locating the marker.At the highest setting I got false readings, and at lower settings it couldn’t pick up 1/2” rebar 6-7” under the surface. Back at the shop it found some brass casings hidden from view in the grass.There’s an offer for some free gloves if you register your detector, but once you register, the “free gloves” disappear, but mine still got here in about a week.

I use this on the beach just about every morning I have found lots of coins and rings just recently I found a gold bracelet I find this machine is just as good as the more expensiveMine lab detectors

Have not used it yet, it is a great price for a name brand metal detector.

Great purchase to go with my metal detector
