Whites MXT Tracker
Minelab X-Terra 70
MXT is a simple yet powerful machine. Many would prefer this detector over other more complicated programmable detectors like DFX or Minelab Explorer. Instead of buttons and menus, MXT is equipped with knobs which makes it a snap to adjust as you go.
Comes with 3 preset modes: Coin/Jewelry, Relic and Prospecting.
Ideal for someone just starting out and Pros alike.
MXT - You Can't Go Wrong
Tony M. in Flint, MI -I am a former Minelab Sovereign owner (it was stolen a few years ago) and was seriously considering purchasing another Minelab. However, after reading numerous reviews I very hesitantly and hopefully bought an MXT from a local dealer.
After two weeks (with about ten hours use) I am happy to report that the positive reviews I read were spot on! The MXT is a coin magnet. I've pulled over 50 coins from the local dirt. This afternoon I pulled three 40's-50's era foreign coins from my own backyard while my wife was on the phone with her sister!
If you are looking for an all-around detector, get an MXT. You have a visual display for target reading, depth and iron content. Pinpointing is easy. Battery life is outstanding (mine is still "11/12")... You can't go wrong.
Minelab makes a good detector, but White's has definately earned my business from now on. My compliments.

Whites MXT all the way
David B. Mallett in Idaho Falls, Idaho -Well if you read my last review on the Whites mxt......It sums it up. I just purchased a Minelab Explorer SE......Rumor say, The Minelab is the best ever........A group of us went out last Sat and I was getting depresed with the Minelab...The thing sounded like I was in an arcade......I found nothing but being upset. I am sure this maching will do great as soon as I learn it and I need to give it more time......The Whites MXT., Last week found me a $6000.00 platinum ring with diamonds and I sold it to a local jewler for around $1200.00......The MXT has paid for itself plus the Minelab........The minelab had better produce something soon.......I am sure it will.....Any one that is new to this hobbie or even if you have been doing this for a while...I would suggest to not purchase a Minelab as your first detector.....(NO WAY) I am not bringing down Minelab at all.........I am almost sure once I have figured the Minelabs out......They will blow anything away.....My friend Dave in Salt Lake City, Utah. just purchased a Minelab last year....And he hates it with a passion. He still uses his good old Garrett grand master hundter 11.......He just needs to learn the machine.....He used my Whites MXT and fell in love with it right off the bat........I think he is going to purchase one soon.......Anyone that is looking for great deals on detectors., Go and talk to Tom at (Metal Detectors of Minneapolis) his number is (612) 721-1901 I am not trying to promote his business, It's just that all of us has been purchasing from him sense the late 80's and he has taken care of us with great prices. Lets see if the Minelabe can do what my Whites can do.....So far, the friends that have a Minelab that has gone out with me was wiped.....MXT>>>>>>>>>ALL THE WAY

March 19th 2007 I received my new dector from Metal detectors of minnneapolis....All I can say is WOW!!.....I am very impressed with the device. I first watch the dvd and went to my back yard and started..My sewer system was dug up last year so I started there.....My first find was a 1920 s penny in good shape worth around thirty seven cents...My second find easly paid for the unit, it was a 1916 d key date dime worth over $1500.00...Note, this was in my back yard. I went to a near by park and did not do so well. I will go back....I would like to say this......THE WHITES MXT IS NOT AT ALL NOISY!!.........Thats a fact. learn to use the machine, the Engineers did a great and wonderfull job for you......If the machine was $1500.00 I would purchase it......I am going nugget hunting next......I would like to say that Garrett makes wonderful machines as well and both companys back up their products 100% plus.........thanx for a great product., MXT A++++ ALL THE WAY.

MXT IS A++++++
Bob in Lancaster, Ca -Just got my MXT yesterday and after a short review on the hows and whats of this Whites Metal Detector I took it out and within 5 minutes I found 2 quarters, 3 dimes, 3 pennies, and one old gold earring. This was great and I look forward to going out later. I am so glad that I picked the MXT and within time my finds will have paid for it..

All around Great machine
Drew in Tennessee -I have been metal detecting for many years, and have used many different brands; moreover, the mxt is my favorite to date. I live in east Tennessee and have used this detector with great success. The mxt has 3 seperate programs for coin- jewerly, relic, and prospecting. It has more power than you could possible ever need to find those smaller pieces of gold, turn on and go features, auto ground balancing, and light weight. I bought the 6x10dd coil for better coverage, depth, and heavy trash areas. Also an in line target probe that has come in very handy. My first day out on a farm with permission, I found a 1743 colonial coin at 8 inches near the French Broad River. It displayed a vdi of 83! Soon came a couple of clad change, two 1940's standing liberty's, 5 wheaties, and a 1883 Morgan dollar at 5 inches. The Morgan was certified as ms-65. Later in the day I switched over to relic mode, pumped the coil to balance it out, and went to town. I found civil war bullets, buttons, old glass while digging, parts to rifles, 1 buckle, and my best civil war find, 2 lead bullets fused together! Most of these items I will be donating to the local museum for every one to see. A few weeks later I went to another farm with permission and located an old out house not in use. Lots of old change, bottles, and a silver cross that was certified as 1-1/2 troy ounces of silver. It had a partial name on the back and a date of 1871! Like I stated earlier, I have used Minelabs, other whites, and a few Garrets. This machine for me has been the most fun to use. It finds coins deeper than 8 inches, and as you can see relics, and jewerly. I will say that with this detector you have to practice before you head out, as with any detector, Understanding the sounds and vdi is key to better recovery. Some people have posted neg. comments that its too noisy, or they don't believe it can find coins as deep as described by some. You be the judge based on my finds. Looks pretty convincing to me that it finds coins at all depths. As far as being too noisey, I would suggest to any one who has complained, LEARN HOW TO USE THE KNOBS!!! For an all around detecor this machine has the goods!

Terrible Detector
Nick Safford in L.A. Ca. -
The MXT is unbearbly noisy, extremely erratic and is like trying to listen to 3 radio stations at one time. Maybe mine is defective but I bought it new, but there seems to be many people that like it.

Mxt, One awesome Machine!
scott in Little Egg Harbor,N.J. USA -After many weeks of intense research, the Mxt was the the best unit for my needs. I also purchased the 6x10 dd coil for etra depth, Sunray gold headphones, and a Sunray dx-1 in line target probe. All top of the line. Living in South Jersey with many miles of beaches, and a rich history going back to colonial times I've really put this machine to work for relics and coin's. My first day on the beach with my brother-in-law who by the way got a Minelab Quatro at the same time was very productive. Not only did I find more coin's but the mxt read deeper than his Minelab. The mxt had no problems finding coin's at 10 inche's plus. A week later we went to Dandridge,Tennessee to vist family and along came my new friend. My first trip out was to a near by area where a civil war engagement took place. With in 20min. I dug my first relic, a bullet from the civilwar at 6 inches. Also found other relics and many coins. I cant stress enough that all of my finds was due to many hours of practice at home with different targets at all depths. Learning all the bells and whistles is inperitive to being the person with or without treasure come days end. This machine is very impresive with lots of power, and ease of use. Anyone who has posted negative coments has not practiced with their mxt. It will run with the best and then some!

A great detector...
Popsmoke in Atlanta -I mainly relic hunt in Georgia, so this review will be based primarly on that experience. I have been MD'ing for about 3 years and currently own a DFX and ML SE.
I like the MXT - alot, mainly because it is very easy to setup and operate and very effective at what it does. Also it is very predictable as to how the controls are affecting the operation of the machine, it does what you think it should be doing.
The depth reading is apretty darn accurate. It is very sensitive and I find myself toning down the gain to -8 or -9 or right at the tick mark to make it quiet. It will hit on a priming cap at 8" with a solid response and my deepest find is a minnie ball at around 10".
I think the discrimination could be a bit more effective as the area I hunt has much iron trash and I am not quite able to disc out all the junk - but pretty close. It will overload on smallish targets- like 1/4 of an old horsehoe at 3" will overload if on nominal gain.
All in all, it is predictable, easy to setup and operate, easy to learn the tones, it is urgent in its response - oh and it recovers very very quickly. On one 1.5 second swing it will react with two honks at two minnies 5" from each other at around 7 inches deep with contanimation in between.
This is a 'go-to' detector and so far if I could only grab one for my area, this would be it.
Thumbs up for this one - highly recomended.

White's MXT
Steve Houston in Oregon -In my opinion the MXT is the best multi-purpose detector built.
It is not just a GMT that discriminates. If your desire is to find gold nuggets the GMT is one of the best and it operates at 48 kHz to be better able to detect small sub-grain sized targets.
The MXT operates at close to 14 kHz and will comfortably detect 2-grain nuggets but will not detect the smaller nuggets that a GMT will. BUT, it is a good compromise for anyone not able to afford two different detectors.
As a coin detector the MXT really surprised me and made me retire my trusty old XLT. It is a bit noisy due to the higher operating frequency but as has been mentioned the addition of a DD coil will quiet it down. This should only be required in highly mineralized ground. I have used it on the beaches here in Oregon and not used a DD.
I tend to use it in the ?RELIC? mode most of the time and pay more attention to the audio response and the ?VDI? numbers more than the ?ID? feature. Also I am used to all of the noise that a gold detector makes so I run my gain at +1 or +2.
