I am the new owner of a MXT Pro. My first machine, if I remember correctly, was a Coinmaster 4900 , then went on to a IDX pro. Switched to minelab for 8 years and now I'm back to White's. I will be hitting all my sites with the MXT pro and the 5.3 eclipse to see what I may have missed. So...we will see

Went out for a couple of hours with the Pro/9.5 coil ( I thought I would be getting my 5.3 eclipse today). I used C&J , Disc around 2-3 in multi tone and I had to turn the gain down 2-3 clicks bc of chatter. Question, I was getting tones with the display showing iron but had Disc above nails so were those iron "grunts"? Also, I would get strong quarter readings in one direction and broken grunts in the opposite direction, didn't dig those. All the solid targets I dug were, 2 screw caps, 8 shotgun casings, large washer, skinkin Lincoln and a sterling silver medicine spoon. I did not expect to find much, just a practice run.
The screw caps shold be bouncy and to properly learn the detector, dig those questionable signals and after digging a few you will start to understand the language. You cannot always go by others or the VDI screen. Listen, look and "DIG" is how best to learn any detector. So you dig iron, foil or any other piece of crap, you will be learning and sometimes you get lucky and it is not crap after all and something decent. I have seen you on another site and you go through detectors fast. Take your time and learn the language and become one with your detector and you'll be rewarded. It takes several hours on any detector, no matter how simple it may appear.

Hi Speedy glad to see you got an mxt pro. Like John said you have to slow down with the 3.5 coil it's also a good idea to do it with a DD also. At least it works better for me that way. Best of luck with your new pro. HH
