I found a like new M6 to use as a backup to my MXT since I sold the DFX. I took it out to our test garden and did a quick depth test. I really like the M6 and plan to use it as a totlot and schoolyard machine.
Congrats on the M6, are the dime and quarter silver or clad? Just wondering as I'm always trying to bypass clad in the parks I detect so I'm not wasting time digging those junk coins. HH
I miss my xlt, I believe it was probably the deepest detector I've ever owned even deeper than the explorer.The only problem neither one was good in heavy trash. I'm looking for something that has a very fast recovery for those really target rich environments. It seems to be the places I end up hunting the most.

Bypass clad? What's the use in detecting? I know of a club that bypassed cent readings at an old housing area. My buddy got a cent reading right beside a sidewalk that had been detected over for 2 years. Dug the cent and checked the hole again. 3 inches lower was a WL half. Clean it out if you want to get the good stuff!
Granted you lose depth and coverage with a smaller coil, but until you try it in extreme trash you won't believe how surgical the little 4X6 shooter is in that condition. I use one fairly often on my MXT with great success when the trash is really heavy.The MXT has super fast recovery but as with any detector heavy trash makes it a lot harder to hunt, just slow way down in the trash and you might throw on a smaller coil for real heavy trash but you'll lose some depth with a smaller coil.

While i like the concept of the MX5, i cant seem to lose my passion for the M6 and MXT with its traditional metal box and hardware design. Thanks for the video, the M6 is a nice detector.
