What an amazing machine! Mine has paid for itself repeatedly in coins and rings.
I can't get over how good it does on gold rings. Wow! If your target is rock solid on the VDI number and in the gold range, chances are good that it is gold jewelry. I literally found my first gold ring with it less than a half-hour out of the box!
I use the 4x6 shooter coil almost exclusively. While your ground coverage is diminished somewhat, the target separation is fantastic. I've found dimes with this coil at more than 6 inches - which is more than acceptable here in the desert southwest. Of course, I'm probably a little more than biased toward the 4x6 because of the great finds I've made with it - multiple gold rings (two in very trashy areas), my first Barber dime, my first IH cent and several nice silver rings.
I have the 6x10, the stock coil and the super 12 for it. I use them all occasionally. Boy, oh boy, if someone would just make a bigfoot coil for it. I'd never leave the parks!!! (If you're thinking, "But the bigfoot does work on the DFX, MXT and M6." then you've not tried one on an M6. On the M6 only the front half of the Bigfoot works.)
Anyway, I'm delighted to be the first poster on this incredible machine!!!
