Sorry for not being involved in this thread as of late. I've been sick as a dog the last few days. I definitely want a DFX.

The DFX a good detector and was the flagship for White's for a very long time. It's never been known for great depth. The best distance I can get with an air test running it hot was 13" on a US quarter. This doesn't really mean anything either because: 1. You could never run it that hot in the field. 2. Air test distance equates to approx. 60% actual detecting distance under perfect conditions. So depth capability for a DFX normally is around 8".

Here in my soil, South FL the DFX goes down to 12" on a quarter in my test garden with the PA gain at 4 and sens at 75 with a custom program. On the salty sand beach it goes down to 10" on a nickel with the PA at 3 sens 76, and the 9.5" coil all day. Away from EMI the DFX is a very nice machine, very versatile and gives great information using the graph. However it is sensitive to EMI.

Sorry I hadn't been on the site in a while because I had a lot going on in my life this year. I also decided not to get another White's detector because I want to try something new to me. I have always either used a White's or a Garrett detector but this time I want to try something new.

Yeah I probably will but I just want to try another brand of detector for a while to see how they match up because all I've ever used is White's and Garrett.
