    FS / Trade new White's 950 concentric coil

    I have a White's 950 concentric coil that came on my MXT-Pro. Its been tested on the bench but never used in the field because I have the 9" Spider. $100 shipped anywhere lower 48 or WTT for an MXT compatible 8x6 SEF. -pete

    MXT finds nuggets . . . aluminum ones! :rant:

    Was hunting a wooded park area on Thursday and good high-tones were few and far between so I decided to dig any nickel signals that happened along. Every single blasted one of them turned out to be a small nugget of aluminum that looked like it was melted in a fire - never did get a nickel...

    maiden voyage of new to me v3 nets silver

    I think ours in the states are only like 25% nickel with the rest being copper, so they look like death warmed over after a few years in the ground! :cry: -pete

    Custom log form for documenting hunts

    Got tired of scribbling half-assed notes about my hunts in an old spiral notebook and decided that some type of preprinted log book along the lines of what we use in diving would be just the thing to tidy it up and impose a little organization on the process. I looked online and found only one...

    Frankenstein MXT rig

    Recently I have had some soreness in my swinging elbow and attribute it to the hours I've spent detecting. There is arthritis in my family and my orthopedic says repetitive motion can trigger a flare. While the MXT is lighter than my old 6000 blue box, its still hefty if I'm hunting for 5...

    Cajuncoinhunter is first rate!

    Recently, I had the pleasure of purchasing a used White's carrying bag from Cajuncoinhunter. The transaction was flawless, the bag was great, arrived in a timely fashion and the price was rock bottom! Couldn't ask for better! -pete

    Air test vs actual depth

    Wayfarer makes some good points about repeatability and making comparisons under controlled conditions. To this end I would like to submit my test rig for doing air-test comparisons of different coils and machines. I use a cardboard box upside down with an opening for the coil's mounting ears...

    Odd pinpointing quirk

    I've had something weird happen to me with my MXT. I was hunting very junky ground - each sweep of the coil sounded like Morse Code! Sometimes I get a good target hit - nice high tone - and after making a few passes over the target from a couple different directions to be sure of the location I...

    Detech 13" Ultimate DD coil for White's V3i

    I've had something similar happen to me with my MXT. Like you, hunting very junky ground - each sweep of the coil sounds like Morse Code! Sometimes I get a good target hit - nice high tone - and after making a few passes over the target from a couple different directions to be sure of the...

    Doo-dads from the farm - last Sunday's hunt

    Got up to my brother's farm this past Sunday and got a few hours of hunting in. Got nearly skunked on coins - a single clad quarter on the way back to car to put my MXT away. There were some interesting non-coin finds though. First was a small brass buckle - the kind that might be found on a...

    Strange Button

    I dug an odd button at my brother's farm this past Sunday. Its about the size of a penny but a bit thicker and made of metal, though I'm unsure just what type of metal. It rang up as a nickel (18-20) on the MXT which is why I dug it. Later after cleaning it up a bit I rechecked the VDI and...

    Target pics from back in my shooting days.

    Here are a couple of pics of targets I had put away in my file draw from back in my shooting days in college. We shot competitively on a couple of different circuits . . . first was the local gun clubs (mostly to stay in practice) and the second was the collegiate circuit which for the better...

    First hunts of the year . . . Zincoln convention & 1st Silver 25¢

    My first 9 hours with the MXT in my own yard yielded up over 50 coins including my first ever silver quarter, a '63-D Wash. Other highlights were a single clad quarter, 6 clad dimes, 4 wheats, not all pictured ('14, '30, '40, '44) and two tokens (a Chuck-E-Cheese and a generic arcade "NO CASH...

    Artifacts of a lost civilization

    Eastern Massachusetts, North of Boston . . . As the glacial ice receeds in this area it has revealed large numbers of strange and wonderful carved stones. These are of the finest grey granite and are many hundreds of pounds each. They lie in repose, rather than erect and are arranged in...

    MXT YouTuber?

    Can anybody recommend a YouTube channel that mostly features videos of somebody hunting with an MXT (or Pro)? By way of example, on "AmericanCoinHunting", Dave hunts with an E-Trac and later a CTX3030. He likes to show how his machine is responding to a target before digging it instead of just...

    How many cells in the rechargeable pack?

    Does anyone who has the rechargeable battery pack for the MXT know how many cells they have in it? It would make sense if it was 8 just like if you were using alkalines because a) it would be the same size and b) the manual says the threshold for the low-battery indicator is 8v which is well...

    Hello All!

    I'm new to the forum, though not exactly new to detecting. I'm back in it after a long hiatus (~25 years!). My original machine is a White's 6000 Di Pro (blue box) but I'm looking to upgrate to the MXT All-Pro very soon. Hi Monte - I've sent you e-mail. Please disregard the part about not...
