I'm just interested in how my old whites xlt compare's to all the new machines out there. thanks
Its fine.
I've found Merc Dimes & V-Nickels in the 9"-range with the stock coil. . . it's a nice machine (and killer on nickels).
Rule #1 your coil must go over the the desired object.
I have the MXT and a buddy of mine has the V3I. These two machines have a big price difference. When we hunt together 8/10 times I will take home the goods over him, why? He has only had his machine for only about a year now, thats only one reason.
Rule # 2 a good Metal detector machine dose not get fooled only the operator gets fooled.
If your not getting the results you want see Rule # 1 and 2
The XLT is a good Metal Detector.
