Not long ago I got the idea to buy a metal detector. After much research I decided on the Whites company.I am torn between the MXT and the M6. Being that I live in Alabama I don't think that gold prospecting will be in my future. Will the added software features of the MXT be enough of a benefit compared to the simplicity of the turn on and go that you get with the M6. I plan on searching for the coins and jewelry as well as civil war artifacts. By reading all the posts that are on the sight I can see that there are a lot of knowledgeable people out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
