I own a mxt and that was my first detector...it's well built not flimsy like some...it gives you quite a bit of information on whats in the ground....ground balances real fast... pin points right on... and can tell you the size of the target why all it's still in the ground... excellent battery life dept is right on....that detector will have you on your belly.. arm stretch out.. digging the deep stuff found lots of stuff with mine.. silver dime and silver quarters..Indian head ...pennies..clad...float copper... and iron before got to know what it was telling me....
