Whites MXT Tracker

White's MXT

Scott in SLC -
I bought my MXT 8 weeks ago have really enjoyed it. The learning curve was short and easy.I do use the 3x6 DD coil instead of the stock,noisy 950 stock coil for coin shootin, but with spring coming the 950 should work well in the ghost towns. It's a great machine, Scott in SLC

Whites MXT

The MXT Tracker is more advanced than the previous top spot holder in its category, the Tesoro Lobo ST. The MXT is designed as a high gain, sensitive gold machine that will function as a coin/relic machine as well. It has exceptional sensitivity to small low conductive targets. The target display information provided by the three operating modes is well thought out and provides real, useable information. The TID on the MXT should be referred to often as it provides valuable details about the type and quality of the signal. I hope White's develops it even further in the future on new models. Okay, so whats 'bad' about this machine? Well, not really bad, but just a caveat to you coin shooters. The MXT will NOT hunt the nasty, trash ridden sites well with the stock coil.

The high gain circuitry neccessary for finding small gold nuggets combined with the higher operating frequency causes the MXT to be somewhat noisy in iron and trash ridden sites and target seperation lacks behind the better dedicated coin machines using the stock coil. It's a good thing White's has developed the DD coils for the DFX/MXT line of detectors as they are a neccessity for hunting heavy trash.

Iron ID and target seperation with the large DD coil will get you thru most sites with results on par with good coin machines albeit at the expense of a little depth in mild soil conditions. In areas with high mineralization, users are reporting the MXT to be on equal footing with the previous 'best' coin machine for their conditions. My wish is that White's would apply the technology found in the MXT to create a new general purpose machine using the more standard 6.59 Khz.

Prices on top of the line machines have been creeping up lately putting them out of the reach of the average hobbyist. A mid priced TID machine incorporating a version of the new software based analysis found in the MXT and having the same ease of use would be welcome. It could replace that quirky not so hot selling QXT.

I just bought my MXT last week, and I found it to be fairly easy to use. I found dimes at the 6" to 8". and pennys in the 5" to 7" range regularlly. I haven't had a chance to use it on a nugget hunt, but in regular ground it will pick up a 1 penny wt. nugget at 13" ( burried it), so it looks promissing.
