Well dang it finally showed up and I felt like a kid at Christmas. I played a bit with it last night at a local park that I had hit many many times over and still managed to pull out a handful of clad that my old detector missed. I did notice that the MXT seemed a little bit noisier than my old detector but I really started to get into the difference in sounds and volume of the different targets. Total for last night $1.87 in misc clad and zincs, 4 pull tabs and a large chunk of rusty pipe that was buried at the base of a tree. I am loving this machine and wanted to say a big thanks to all the posters who have put tons of info on the forums. They have made it a smooth transition to this machine (and a super easy choice). I will keep up posting my finds!
