Prizm III VS MXT

[Blacksox21]

I currently in the market for a new metal detector. I currently use a Prizm III, and am interested in upgrading to a MXT. Can anyone tell me if an upgrade to an MXT would really help me in finding deeper signals, or should I hold off and save up for a better model. My main goal is to find deeper targets. I wont be able to afford a better coil until a later date as well. Any help would be greatly apprecieted.

All i can tell you is that i had a..XLT and a DFX .. and a .MXT. and if i was to get a Whites again it would be the .. MXT .. I thought the MXT was better than the XLT or DFX so if you want the better model you would get the .. MXT ,,

coil choices for the mxt are very abundant....if you do not plan on looking for gold a M6 will save u about $100 and u still get all of the great coils available on the MXT/DFX/V3....larger coils=more depth but there are tradeoffs including loss of target seperation,sensitivity and pin pointing issues

The Prizm III is a good STARTER machine..... you can find things with it.... but you need an M-6 or higher to really find things..... MXT is a very good machine... you will go back over the same spots you have hit with your Prizm and find coins, nice coins that it simply missed

spot on mate!!!
I almost bought an M6, and opted for the MXT. About a year later, after reading the "issues" posts with the M6, I am glad I opted for the MXT. I would still be proud to own an M6, but I think you may appreciate the virsitillity of the MXT. Gives you more arrows for the quiver...
