It uses Eclipse coils. It's a souped up waterproof TreasurePro. It looks awesome!Well I have 6 coils for the mxt/mx5 If it can use my current coils, I would upgrade if it is the replacement for the mxt just taking the mxt and making it lighter and waterproof will be a big winner for me.
I think they missed the mark when they made the TreasurePro water resistant and kept the frequency low. Now it's what it should have been - Waterproof and 13.8khz! They hit the Bullseye this time!!
If Whites wants to dominate the fresh water, rain, dust all Terrain market they will have to keep the price in the ATpro range. Even if it's a little higher price people will pay because is has a lot of usable features the ATpro doesn't have. The Atpro isn't a bad machine but it has issues. For instance - Small ID numbers, nose heavy, they leak, coil and phone connectors are hard to turn, no tracking, no salt mode tracking, no backlight. It seems the MXS has covered these areas well. Both may not be the deepest? But we have other options for deep hunting. I don't see this machine costing 1K$. I see it maybe $150 more than an ATpro. That would put Whites in the position to sell billions.The treasure master and treasure master Pro are good entry level and mid level detectors. Not everyone is ready to drop 1K on a new unit.
But from what I see so far...
This would be a super companion next to your MXTpro. I have had several of the Whites boxes apart and they get a lot of dust in there. Being waterproof makes it dustproof which will prolong it's life.Well it's a big improvement for my mx5, but I will keep my mxt pro for now we will wait and see how the first units work out. But i want one.
