I have asked this question on the XTerra Forum so I will ask it here too. I am debating between the White's MXT and the Minelab's Xterra. I know the differences, weight, number of batteries, interchangeable coils, dials for touch pad buttons, etc... But what I want to know is "in the field" experiences. I will be doing coin/jewelry and gold prospecting since I live in the Rocky Mountains. This past winter, I figured I hand shoveled around 20 tons of snow, so the weight shouldn't be that big of an issue, but balance would be nice.
I just want to know which one performs better, has less repair issues, better customer service from the manufacturer, and an easier learning curve. I read a lot of Xterra forums where folks can't figure out how to make the detector perform very well. Any input is greatly appreciated.
