Love my new MXT Pro !!! Any better coil suggestions ?

[treasurecoasteric]

OK - so I grab an MXT Pro and really like it, but I have been considering getting a Whites D2 DD 10" Coil. There is really nothing wrong with the 12" except it does get heavy at times, besides that, I have been told that the DD's tend to work better on beaches and wet sand......which is all I do anyways - Any input?

D2 is a great coil. super deep, pinpoints well but can also be a bit on the hefty side and prone to emi. Whites 6x10 is another great coil. Doesn't have the raw depth as the D2 but target ID is better, more stable overall, nice balance for the MXTP and not anywhere near as emi finicky. The 6x10 was my favorite setup. I hear good things about SEF coils too but have never used one.

Get the SEF coil and don't look back. I have used the D2 and 6x10 and the SEF is deeper. I have the 10x12 SEF and it also works great in very trashy areas. I hunted with the other coils in a spot that I gridded off. Went back with the SEF and found much more deeper targets. You won't be sorry. The SEF never comes off my MXT PRO.

The dynamic response characteristics of the MXT were designed around the 10 inch elliptical DD coil. In my opinion that ought to be the standard coil it's shipped with. However, with so many people believing that "bigger is better", shipping it with the larger searchcoil probably helped sell more metal detectors.

Actually that's probably the case

you will like the MXT i always said at lease to me the MXT was the best detector that whites put out ……… And like Woof said i always thought the coil that come with the detector was the best coil for the detector…. For my thoughts on that is the company will match up the detector with the coil that works best on it … That is how i think about all brands ….Look at this way if you made a detector what coil would you put on it the one that works best or one that works a little under par .. I am not one to run around with a bunch of extra coils … I am always happy with the one that came on it and it always works great for me..

Very good point. I have always felt that the M6 / 950 coil pairing was perfect, just not feeling the same about the 12". Maybe its just me, but I would have liked a coil in the 10" range that was a bit better of a performer at the beach.

Then again, I have only had it about a week and only have about 8 hours on it - only time will tell.....
