MXT Christened

[Wildcat]

Many years ago I found several gold rings in a creek where folks used to swim. I have been there a couple of times recently but I took my new MXT today and scored a nice little gold ring with 2 little sapphires in it. When the creek dries up properly there will be more I am sure.

Nice find! How do you like the MXT? I'm thinking about getting one myself.

dirt fishin in a creek......can't top that. Just juice up the machine enough, so that when you dip the head in the water, the
fish come jumpin out into your basket.
Way to go on rescuing the lovely ring. Let us know when you hunt there again.

Thanks Guys. Indianagrown, I was dubious about buying a machine with knobs. However I love goldhunting and coinshooting (and rings) (and things)...
However, on this Whites machine, knobs aint knobs anymore, at least not like the older machines. They are linked directly to the processor I understand. After discussion with my local dealer (about 1500 klm away) I took the plunge. I wish I had bought it years ago. Much more fun than the GPXs I have owned and more versatile than any detector I have ever had in the last 30 years. I have had more than a dozen machines of many brands. I notice some say the MXT is chattery. I have not found that to be the case at all, either prospecting or coinshooting. I suspect they wind their gain up to max which can only result in targets being missed at times. The LCD screen gives you a lot of info particularly when goldhunting and I keep thinking back to the days when you had to dig every beep with the old machines. Mate, we are spoilt nowadays.
I use the Eclipse 6x10 DD coil as I find the stock coil cumbersome, however it would be great for beach work.

No wonder it has been around for a while..... I truly believe the MXT to be one of the Classics.

Nice way to break in your new machine! Looking forward to more finds from the swim area! Sweet ring

Thanks Detectahead. Sadly we had rain last night so I guess that would have made the creek all puddly again... I'll have to go look.

$1300.00 per oz, in Aussie Cal. It only weighs 2.2 grams and is 9Ct. All good though!!
