Wow, I am really enthused about the new MXT.
It is fantastic for coin hunting, and I just started checking out
the prospecting function.
Questions:
1. I bought the 6-inch DD coil, which is small and very light.
The machine now is unbalanced - with the control box being
much heavier than the little coil. So is there a way to get a hip
mount for it? Looks like the upper shaft will come off, but the
control box seems riveted to the shaft, so what then?
Do I need to get a new shaft for the upper portion that would
just be a handle or what?
2. I have the 950 coil that came with the machine and the little DD.
What is best for nugget hunting - - maybe yet a third coil??
The places around here for nugget hunting are either sandy
river bars or feet-deep fields of river rock - very hard to "dig",
so which coil would work on the piles of rock - a bigger one?
