I like my MXT, but if there is one thing I feel could be improved, it would be when in relic mode and you flip the pinpoint switch forward it didn't sound like a friggin pinball machine gone bad. I just can't use that disc. mode for long. I really need to keep the switch in the center position, mixed mode, and let all the signals come through. It does get distracting after a while having to listen to all of the iron signals as well, but at least its not all scrambled. As a relic hunter it would be nice to have a little more depth, but it would be nice if all the features on this machine were equally useful. It will be interesting see how the next few months go as I'm going to be revisiting my Tesoro roots with a Tejon and we'll see how the two machines compare for relic hunting.

Have you tried nulling out the threshold? Of course you could always run in the coin mode with low disc. but you loose the high tone. Just a thought.
I've thought about nulling out the threshold for cherry picking in trash, it might be the only way to keep the noise from driving me nuts. The downside is that it will reduce the ability to hear deep targets, because sometimes its only the slight rise in threshold that tells you its there.

This is true. However, if you're cherry pickin in that kind of trash you're gonna trade depth for better target separation. You can't set the machine up to hunt an iron infested site the same way you would an open field. Otherwise you'll be missing good shallow targets in the 2" - 6" range due to masking. The more gain, coil area, and threshold you have, the "broader" the target responses and the less separation you have. That's where the shooter coil works it's magic. Depth becomes an issue when you are hunting an open field with little trash and fewer targets that are spread farther apart. Its the difference between painting a picture (detail) or painting a house (broad strokes).
