Been lurking about here for what seems like decades. Having owned and used many machines from various manufacturers, I had yet to own a White's land machine until just recently...
Many posters over the years have been extolling the virtues of the IDX Pro, so I finally got my hands on one and found out that there wasn't a liar among them!
After many years of using GTA-type machines, I found the IDX to be very intuitive to use, coins just 'jump' up out of the ground. Nickels, I've found, will often hit on the nickel segment and 'fade' just a bit over into foil, Signals that fade the other direction are usually 'tabs. First time out on a well-worked soccer field, 48 coins and a silver ring. My buddies using machines with which they are more familiar got a few less.
The machine looks a bit unwieldy/heavy at first glance, but balances very nicely. Love the 6" BlueMax coil on this machine too. One of my test targets is a nickel buried about 5.5" deep. Most of my other 10 machines can't detect it. The IDX Pro does.
Again, just a White's land machine newbie (been using a Surf II for years), but still, quite impressed. My thanx to those, especially Monte who's posts convinced me to give this 'tector a try!

Skillet, Dito on the IDX Pro! I have used one since 2001 and its the best machine I have ever used. You probably know that the IDX Pro is the top-of-the-line of the very popular Classic series of the 1990's. Many people are asking Whites to reproduce the IDX Pro and include tone ID, backlight, and depth meter.
