Whites MX5

[rodbuster]

Took out my new MX5 today before the rain, Whites hit a home run with the MX5. It has just enough adjustment's to fine tune the detector for your hunting area, the 9in coil has good depth and coverage. If you want a detector for coins and a trip to the beach the MX5 fits my needs,and the tone ID makes it a coin magnet. I enjoy my MXT Pro but the MX5 will stay right with it. In 2 hours I found 2.59 in clad and the VDI numbers and tones were right on.

For me it is the total package that I've been looking for for a long time. Some have the speed but not the tones, others had the tones but not the coil selection so on and so forth.

 

[V3i/MXT Pro]

I like the 9" concentric coil... I bought one to use on my MXT Pro and V3i. Lighter in weight than the 950 Eclipse and open design better on the shoreline.

So glad I didn't part with mine. It is an excellent machine. Get the 5.3 Eclipse you won't be sorry!

Owned all three from time to time. The MX5 has some features the M6 & MXT do not have. Back light, more tone options, adjustable notch, lighter, and cheaper price tag. I also did not feel the M6 or MXT was any deeper on coins with the same coil. Three things the M6,MXT has that I liked better was rear headphone jack, pinpoint trigger and ability to lock the ground balance. The MX5 also had the ability to put the detector in a standby mode while digging which was nice. One other comment I found the screen on the MX5 to be alittle smaller but was still readable for me. For stock coils I liked the MX5 9in. spider better than the 9.5 donut also. All three were excellent detectors just have a few different features. If you are a coin & jewelry hunter only I would not spend the extra for a MXT,MXT Pro but would go with a MX5 or M6.
