Deep silver settings

[dirt lizard]

What is the best deep silver setting for the MXT? I been workin on the presets and getting ok finds.

Move the sensitivity to 1 + or 2 +,. disc at about 3, relic mode seems to work best and I like the trigger forward on the handle so you don't hear the iron. And go slow in trashy areas. I like to ground balance and then lock it. Shallower targets hit as high tone and deep targets hit a medium tone. You have to go slow and listen for those tones. I'm pretty new with the MXT and these are the settings I use.

I've heard several people say they use relic mode with the trigger forward. When I try that on my mxt pro, it acts like it is in all metal (pin point) mode. It has no discrimination with the trigger forward. If I move it to the middle position it seems usable with a grunt for iron and high tone for anything above the discrimination setting. Why is my detector doing this if everyone else says to use the forward position on the trigger? There is no way to detect while in pinpoint mode because most of the ground area blares with some type of metalic or mineral substance. I only use coin/jewelry mode because the relic mode acts differently for me than others describe. If the pro version uses a different trigger position while in relic mode, is that the only difference? When someone says 'use trigger forward', do I just use the middle position and all other settings are the same as they describe? I kinda doubt my detector is malfunctioning, it works fine in all other settings and even seems ok in relic with the exception that the trigger is in a different position than others use. Its just odd that every time I hear another person say they like relic mode they specificly like using the trigger in the forward position. For me(MXT PRO), the forward position while in relic is the same as squeezing the trigger and unusable for anything but pinpointing. If this is normal, it might be worth noting when someone says to specifically use trigger forward while in relic mode.

You have an MXT Pro not an MXT. The trigger functions differently on the MXT Pro. Leave it in the center position on the MXT Pro.

That doesnt sound normal when i use relic mode and trigger pushed forward it is fine yours may have a issue with the trigger you may want too call whites. sas

An MXT and MXT Pro are basically the same machine with the MXT Pro having a few more features. The biggest difference between the two machines is the way their hunt modes and features are accessed. Check out the attached comparison chart that was drawn up by Jeff Foster the author of "The MXT Edge".

awesome chart! This clears up alot of curiousity about the differences between the two models like the trigger position while in relic mode, ect. One more feature i noticed and have heard about is the 'pull-tab notch' feature with the mxt. I bet that notches out ALOT more than just pull-tabs because it silences everything in the +28 to +49 VDI range. Thats just about all the shotgun shell cases and military buttons. I like the concept, too bad its not customizable so you could specify a really small range to disc out roofing nails or something else similar. I know one of the higher priced Whites models allows this.

Hi Aarong81,

The Pull-Tab Notch is the only MXT feature that does not appear on the MXT Pro. Many MXT users thought there was something wrong with their machine since the modern break-off pull-tabs were not notched out. It is understandable why White

For the deepest silver and other things use the 10"DD coil, RELIC Mode, Trigger forward, GAIN=+3, DISC=1, and THRESH=just audible. This will get you the deepest stuff. Wow, this makes me want to get out right now. HH
