Damn...I've been studying the top-end machines trying to decide on a purchase or two, hopefully in the near future (health permitting). Is minelab telling me that the manicore is five times the machine of the x-terra, the nox is four times the machine of the x-terra, or that I really don't need a top-end machine? Is selectable freq. really that much different than single freq.? Is the x-terra pro a step forward or a step backwards from what they have been saying for the past few years about single freq. being obsolete? Is it now proof (taking a few words from Nokta) that the tech is so close that it makes little difference?

I had considered an Equinox 900 to complement the 9 detectors I have here in my den. I know that the model could, serve my needs however, I am not a highly dedicated SMF fan. Ever since they introduced the EQ-800, they said SMF will out-date all selectable SF models, but they gave consumers some single Frequency options. I have owned an 800 and used some Single Frequencies. I have also had a Nokta Impact, Multi Kruzer and Anfibio Multi that are all a Switchable Frequency design and most of them worked well for my search needs.

So for ME, the new Minelab X-Terra Pro is going to be the more logical detector I can acquire for where I hunt and how I hunt.
