Same depth MXT - MXT Pro w/ concentric & dd coils

In mild ground the concentric should be deeper.... BUT.... at depth, your search area is very small and you should overlap maybe every 2-3 inches to get good coverage. The DD gives up some depth in mild ground but better coverage at depth.

The diagram on left is concentric (conical) the two on the right is the DD coverage from front/back and from the sides.
 
mxt & mxt pro are identical aside from the added features on the pro. Depth is the same for both.
 
Basically the same machines. The MXT and MXT 300 are the same and then they introduced the MXT Pro and then the MXT All Pro, which are the same machine the only difference between the two is a " All" sticker was added later and they started putting on the 10" D2 coil instead of the 12" coil.

The MXT Pro was changed to add a backlite, ground grab and tones and eliminated the silly notch feature that the original MXT's had ( putting pinpoint trigger forward)
Other then that same great performance.

Hey Gregg,

I've seen used listings for a variety called "MXT Tracker" . . . where does this fit into the sequence?

Hey PSS1963, Welcome to the forum. Tracker was just a name that it had but it's the same kick butt relic machine.

Thanks for the welcome, surf n turf!

What I actually meant was - where did it fit in time-wise? Was it before or after the 300, for instance, and did it have any features or options (like a coil type) that warranted a slightly different label?

I was looking at listings for used machines for a while and it was really hard to tell sometimes if I was looking at a 3 year old machine or a 12 year old machine. :shrug:

I believe it is the original MXT when they are calling it the Tracker. It was the MXT E series tracker.
 
PSS1963, I think Oregon Gregg is correct the original MXT E series "Tracker" was what Whites called it. It came with the 9.5in coil which they still sell. I think maybe the best way to check on
the age of a unit is ask the seller for the id # then check with Whites, at least you will know when it was built. But I have owned several Whites units over the years and have a BHID now and can say they are built like a TANK! So older or newer it will last and Whites will take good care of you.

Totally agree with you Surf. Mine was one of the first MXT E Tracker series and it's running as smooth as the day I got it. I can't see myself giving it up. Nope, it's not going to happen.

HH,
Nancy
 
Yes, you're right - they are built like tanks. My 6000 is 27 years old and might as well be 2, though its hard to say if things like electrolytic caps (which do degrade over time just sitting there) might not be performing like new - not sure if they used any in the design. Vito, any input on this?

Anyway, I would have thought a complete timeline of MXT models would be something Monte could recite in his sleep. Anybody seen Monte this week? :poke:

I have about five windows open plus e-mail that I work on, kind of 'in shifts' as I have to step away to ease the back pain. I didn't have a date-and-time breakdown, but the MXT was the Tracker series when released with the 950 coil. Then they switched to the 12" coil, labeling it the '300' for 300 millimeters, and then changed the side of the MXT to read MXT 300. Same detector, different standard coil.

The MXT Tracker has remained in the line-up, thought dropping in sales due to the MXT Pro which most people have preferred. The MXT Pro [size=small](on the side decal)[/size] had the fixed Notch Disc. eliminated, and a 3-membrain touchpad used below the display. This allowed the user select the Tone ID feature for each mode, use a quick Ground Grab to update the Ground Balance, and turn on-or-off the 3-level Backlight. They also made the trigger toggle to lock in the All Metal mode when flipped forward.

The MXT Pro came with a 12" coil for $899.95 or the 950 for $849.95.

Then at the end of 2013 they brought out the updated MXT All-Pro, which was exactly the MXT Pro but had an 'All' sticker on the side over the word Pro. Also, while the 950 coil was still on it for $849.95, the $899.95 retail offering comes with the 10" D2 DD coil instead of the 12" Concentric coil.

Monte, infact you did do a post about the history/timeline of the MXT, but it was over at the AHRPS site :)

Was that recently or a while back? Do you have a link? I tried to look for it but their search engine just seems to output everything chronological without regard to relevance.

Monte, thanks for the above. It seems White's likes to relable things a lot. :shrug: I don't remember the Tracker being in the catalog I have - the one with all the coil prices mis-printed - all coils $49.95! :pinnochio . Is it just a case that the catalog is a sampling of the product line rather than an exhaustive list?

Here is the link. Scroll down towards bottom to read about MXT. Is basically the same history as he posted here.

Yes, essentially the same info - nobody can accuse Monte of not being consistent. :clapping: I think I understood it a little better after reading this one, though. Thanks, Gregg!

One thing I would change about the MXT if it was up to me, would be to make the 2-tone audio accessible from either relic or C&J modes. I suppose for the sake of symmetry there's no reason not to have the 7-tone audio available in relic mode, but I don't think I have any need of that one.

Do you know about the undocumented multi-tone feature in relic & prospecting modes for the MXT PRO?
"The multi-tone feature was not intended for the Relic or Prospecting Modes. However, through a bug that is not documented in the owners manual you can activate the multi-tone mode by getting your MXT all set up in Coin & Jewelry Mode and then selecting multi-tone by pressing the "Musical Note" button. Now flip the toggle switch to either Relic Mode or Prospecting Mode and the multi-tone function will remain engaged. However, if you touch any of the control pads at any time now the multi-tone function will shut off. White's decided this "bug" might actually be useful so has left it as is for you to experiment with."

Thanks Aaron, I actually did hear about this but it sounds too twitchy and frustrating to be very useful. Does anybody know why they don't just make all the tone options available in both C&J and Relic and be done with it? For me, personally, two tones sounds like a good setup but seven just sounds like information overload.
