Great machine
Patrick in Northern IL -The DFX is an awesome machine for people that like a detector that can be used many ways. Yes, you will have to learn how to use it, but once you do, look out. The stock programs are good to start with but once you get the hang of those, you should start checking out the other options. And with anything or any high end machine, to get really good at it you have to practice. Another plus is White's service department is excellent.

Best Yet
Ted in North Seattle, WA -By far the best metal detector I've owned. Worth every penny. I always come home with items of value. I seem to be digging less junk, too. The signagraph is the best feature of this machine.
Like everything it takes a little practice. Also, I'd suggest buying the supporting materials from White's (book & DVD) plus the Jeff Foster Book "Digging Deeper with the DFX"...
GREAT

Takes to long to set up custom programs..
Dave in Phoenix -
2nd Whites I have owned....it is hard to program.. but I have located coins up to 10 inches deep and over 150 years old.....I would not suggest this detector for the newbe nor someone that has not had in depth experance with this hobby........It will take at least 10 hours to study and understand...Make sure to purchase or get all the information that has been written about this machine...Whites supplied info is sadly lax ........

Simply best detector made
willie in n.tx -Have been using the dfx, for 2 yrs. Had a slight learning curve with it. Traded a minelab quattro for it. Best move I could've made. I dug ih's and wheaties to a depth of 10" with this machine. Couldn't be happier. Get the digging deeper book lot's better that the manual....Overall quite happy with this detector. Have never had any trouble with unit at all. Best decision i could've made..........

One of the VERY best
Johnny Banjo in southeast, michigan -I bought my dfx about 2 months ago after using the xlt about 7 years. Right away I noticed better depth and much stronger audio responses on deeper targets. The xlt was a deep seeker but certain soils really affected It's depth. The dfx is better in all soils condition. The "tone id" cannot be beat and the pinpointing is right on. A a coil cover is a must and the optional detector stand will keep alot of soil and moisture out of your control housing. The preset programs are fine,with some preamp gain & ac sensitivity adjustments to obtain maximum depth. Also "tone I.D. and V.C.O. pinpointing are a luxury!!!!
This is one GREAT dectector.

After reading the Whites sales team read down reviews...
esk in Eugene, Or -Read down to the nuts and bolts of treasure hunting.
The ones into fads would detect over a car body 5 ft. down and think is was (maybe) a zinc coin and use the whites pin pointer to try and find it. Please! Help for this machine would be to put a piece of cardboard over the screen. You ears are better!
