Great Value
James A. Weaks in North Carolina -This is my third metal detector and it has it served me very well. Among many nice finds, my most treasured is a Civil War coat button that's worth $300 to $500. I would not recommend this machine for beginners because it has a bit of a learning curve that might turn-off someone new to detecting.
You must read the manual and understand how it works. There is a link below in one of the reviews that points to a site with very good tips on how to use this machine.
The preset programs are good and it has a lot of adjustability. Some users say it chatters too much, but not if you set it up right. Learning its tones can help determine what's a good dig and what's not.
Has a mode that works pretty well on beaches too.
All-around good detector that should be at least a 4 star. You can still find them used, in good condition, at bargain prices.

In LOVE and addicted !!!!!
rodney in Indpls. In. -
I've had mine for seven years, best used machine value on the market. My sister and brother bought theirs online for less than 300.00 each.This is not an xlt and was never designed to be, once it is mastered your ability will be great. This is the only machine of it's kind, ahead of it's time. Learn your craft before you put it down, be patient. Study it.

MAKE YOUR THE QXT ROCK
Bruce in s.c.=USA -well people.I got a Whites Blue Max DD nuget shotter coil for $150. Man did it make the QXT jump to a depth ,1 lead slug = 2 feet deep. Never found anything that deep with it before. Set it up on the Prospecting mode and go for it. It will pickup small steel and lead shot on and in the ground. Great responce, seems like a whole new detector.....Great job Whites!!!!

THIS MACHINE ROCKS
Sal in ohio/cleveland -Was I surprised when my buddy recommended this unit to me, I thought it similar to a silver eagle, boy was I surprised like no other whites I have ever used and I have been using whites since the early 80s. What impressed me about the unit was lightning quick recovery, I was pulling out coins right next or on top of junk or iron where my other units would null out, this unit locked on even with the 950 coil, I can imagine when I try the 5.3 coil what it will do. I dig very little junk with this unit once you learn what it is telling you, you have no problem knowing it is a deep coin or goodie and you also have the graph to help you size the target no other whites like this one, also depth in mixed mode is excellent, pinpointing with vco is dead on, I love the tone id, it can be turned on or off in any of the zones nothing like it out there. Easy to set up, the menu is very simple to use, also love the way the unit ground balances, just wave coil up and down until it is stable pull trigger and your ready to go.Who ever said this is a bad unit better go back to detecting school, please get some experience with the unit before you put it down, I love this machine.

Not easy to learn, but worth the reward if you do.
Rusty Bottlecap in Montrose, Colorado USA -After looking for a used metal detector that would not leave me broke, I settled for the QXT from Whites. Having used whites in the past I assumed it would be a "piece of cake" But it certainly is not a turn on and go...get rich quick detector. You need to learn it, study it...and best of all...read this "how to" and then you will master it.

Once you are familiar with it, you will undoubtedly love it. It is very rich with features and tweaks. No, there is not a VDI scale, but it comes close, and definately tries to show you the size of the object. I believe the only negative thing about it is that the memory is volatile, meaning any custom "tweaks" you perform are lost once the battery is removed...and no true VDI scale. The best kept secret is that since people refuse to put in the time to understand it, they get discouraged and will sell them at a great loss.
This means finding a superb detector for very little money. Thanks!

Discrimination
Hunter in Colorado -I have enjoyed my qxt. It is like anything elese. You need to get use to it in order for it to work in your favor. I live in Colorado and have found several different coins with it. I plan on taking it out to the mountains to hunt for gold. I enjoy it.

qxt pro and quantum xt
Steve Thompson in Marquette, Michigan -I've had the Quantum xt and have the QXT pro. both the same machine, these are deep seeking machines, which i use mostly for relic hunting. They take a little bit of time to learn but very capable. deepest coin so far was a nickle at 9", many old square nails [1" long] 12 to 14 in. down. I seem to get alot better depth than my fathers new xlt. I rate this 4.5 stars, would rate it a 5 if it had the VDI scale. awsome machine.

Whites QXT Pro
Gary W in USA -The QXT has been my primary land machine for six years now, and during that period of time I have owned 14 other machines from Fisher, Garrett, Compass, Whites, and Tesoro. I am a very active hunter, and am the Huntmaster for an old Dallas, Texas club.
I have hunted Thousands of hours with the QXT, and have had it in many different types of soil, and can say that it has proven to be a very versatile machine, which is the reason I bought it in the first place. When I submitted this review there were two reviews posted that lambasted this machine. If you read them closely it is easy to see that neither of them took the time to learn the machine.
No complicated metal detector on the market will produce perfect performance without learning it. The QXT is not among the best turn on and go machines out there, and if you are a casual hunter with little patience, I would suggest a different offering.
If on the other hand you are looking for machine that is very adaptable to many different situations the QXT can almost do it all, no machine is perfect, but I have had it in the field against every high-end machine that I know of, and I own a Fisher CZ-20.
Now for five things that I really like in a machine that few others offer, Target Sizing (Histograph) on the fly, on off Tone ID for any and all target zones, Mixed Mode (simultaneous all metal and discriminate), SAT Speed (adjust threshold recovery speed), and at least a dozen different coils that will work on it. Major bang for the buck.

Whites QXT Pro
jeff@middlesex in USA -Great machine but you have to put the time in to learn it like all good metal detectors. Impressive depth and discrimination abilities. This machine like all Whites machine will talk to you while your hunting. This is actually a good thing.
More information coming in gives the operator the chance to decide and learn what is a good target and which ones are borderline ones like some good relics. Easy to use and dead on the depth and pinpointing. Put the time in and you will not be dissapointed.
