Just got my MX Sport this week. I took it out to my test field yesterday. This is a field where there are a lot of deep clad coins with fill and from being turned over. The Sport did well. Finding clad dimes to 9" and nickels to 8". Also nailed a quarter at 11". These are respectable numbers for the first time using a detector.

My Mx Sport is set up with the Pro Star water proof head phones and Detect 13" coil. I'm running coins and jewelry, Sensitivity of 7, audio mod=off, Discrimination of +10 and below, Disc audio of 20

Today I decided to put the Sport up against the big boys. We went to an extremely hunted out field where you are lucky to get a wheat or a silver every 2nd or 3rd time.

First good target 1906 O Barber dime at 9". Second good hit was a 1936 D Mercury at 8" under a bunch of roots. Third good coin was a 1916 S Wheat penny from 7 1/2 inches. Next a 1943 P war nickel from 7". And the best coin of the day was a squeaker signal that turned out to be a Canadian 1902 at over 8".

The MX Sport is unbelievably deep running.

You must have tweaked that machine perfectly for the silver. Great job and good luck in future hunts. Congrats on a great machine and your nice saves.
