Do you like your MXT stock coil?

[Aarong81]

If your really sure you found everything...you probably havn't. I've been over certain areas till there was no good sounding targets left and eventually bought a new coil and then tested it out on these areas and found some good stuff, silver, buffalo's, ect. The funny thing is, most of those missed targets were not very deep. I always thought that all the targets left behind were just too deep to find, when in fact, they were just mixed with junk and the previous coils couldn't separate them. The new coil I used was the D2. It VDI's high on some stuff but I don't trust the screen anyways and dig everything above an established VDI for that area. At really junky parks I'll leave more targets in the ground. At old homesteads, I'll dig anything that suggests it is NOT iron.......+0 and above. The D2 can whisper sweet lies about bottle caps all she wants, I'm still digging the target either way. The fact that it gives a good signal on really difficult targets that would normally null next to iron, ect, is what I like about it.

The 12" coil is a huge concentric coil and I would expect nulling unless your already convinced the area is clean.

My stock 950 is very deep and my go to coil. The 6 x 10 DD is also excellent.

I do like the stock 9.5, but taking Monte's advice a couple years ago, I bought a 5.3 and have never regretted it. I've made some of my greatest finds with that little coil and can run it at maximum gain almost all of the time. I don't even want to get into the depth that I have found things, ( running at max gain ), because you wouldn't believe me anyway.

I have a 12x10 SEF on my Sovereign GT and can't say enough about it. I like it so much I am considering getting one for my MXT Pro. If anyone know, ( from experience ), how this coils compares to the stock coil, please post. Thanks.

Here is a couple of good comments on different coils Frank. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?25,1867508

I like my mxt 950 although i don't think it discriminates as well as a DD. In fact I learned on this sight take turn the discrimination in the off position. you lose depth when you discriminate Turn the gain all the way up. It made a world of difference on the depth. Good luck

Each to there own
Myself I love the D2 DD and the 6x8 DD SEF coil.
I use the D2 about 75% of the time.
Home sites i clean out with my 6x8 SEF DD.
Then go back over with my D2...
I have found after using all the coils white's has...
This is a lethal set up for my MXT PRO...
Great Depth and seperation with both.

Zamora, same with me . I ask for the mxt pro ,and at the time I didn't know there was a 950 coil thanks to kellyco they just send me the 12" 300 ltd. it would of been nice to know I had a choice, and I didn't know all this until I found this web site by looking and surfing the web. I didn't know forms were around. There was a lost treasure form, and a kellyco form paper in my box but still i didn't know what a form was. i had my mxt pro for one year now , I been learning by reading everybody's problems, and it's been great fun looking at everybody's stuff. All I can say is everybody kept posting and I'll kept reading.

I have the older MXT (Tracker E series), and have better luck with the Eclipse 5.3 coil. A lot depends on the soil conditions in specific areas. Up here in the Northeast, we have plenty of iron mineralization/wet sand, and the stock coil just drives the machine (and its user) bonkers. Nevertheless, I still use the stock coil on occasion if the site is not very trashy, such as grassy areas etc. Hope this helps.

I found a button the size of a penny 9.5 inches down with my mxt and 950 coil gain 8.CEDAR

 

[Mercdimer]

I have to agree that the 5.3 is a good match for the MXT. As you mentioned, whenever the soil conditions are just right, one can pick up faint signals on pennies/dimes in the 9-10 inches deep range. Hard to believe indeed!

I actually had good luck with my 12" coil hunting last year. I dug up a few pounds of clad. I also use the 6x10 DD which is also good. It is quieter but I don't get the depth as the 12". Better target separation also for the dd.
