VX3 or MXT Pro

[ffighter14]

After 2 months of research and reading a lot of websites Im finally going to buy my first detector this week. Its either the VX3 or the MXT Pro. Ill let the dealer give me that last little push on which one. I am really looking forward to my first hunt and hopefully meeting up with some of you.

Both great machines. I've owed both & both work awesome. I prefer the MXT Pro (I think ) You should have success not matter what you choose.
Good luck!

ive owned both and yes both very very nice.. im more of an mxtpro guy myself.. you may wanna check out the mx5.. its an mxtpro turned fully digital and put in a more weather resistant package and its lighter.. im really enjoying mine..very deep and super fast recovery .. it used all of the coils the v3i,vx3,mxtpro use

If I only had the choice of either the MXT Pro or VX3 I would prob go with the MXT Pro. IMHO i think in the end it is a little more versatile. Especially if you get into trashy homestead sites and ghost towns with a smaller coil ( eclipse 5.3 or the round 5" excelerator coil) it does a really great job. Its a tough decision, I guess I would base it on the type of hunting I will be doing the most of. If its parks, wide open areas etc etc and trash and targets are somewhat sparse, then the VX3 is a good choice. I believe that I can get better depth out of my VX3. But in the end if I was allowed only one machine it would have to be the MXT Pro.

The VX3 is the better machine, 3 frequencies and better in mineralized ground. You can switch to single frequencies to dig deeper and minimize EMI.

Better at IDing trash, with the spectograph and all; I just don't see any way the MXT is better.

Did you finally decide on a unit? If you have made your purchase, please share what helped make your final choice.
