DFX is an excellent detector!
JC in Michigan -Hello, i recetly bought a DFX for Christmas, and in the 2 weeks before the ground froze, i was quite happy with it. It has great depth and awsome features.
I'm pretty good at MD'ing, so i watched half the video that came with it and got out to my yard that i have hit with a lower price garret. First find was a 60 year old penny that was missed by my first one. Then i went on to find a 70 year old antique sign for a local insurance company. Rung like a bell at 8 inches!
Then, i went to a local park to try it out. My sis used my old garret and metal detected a baseball diamond. Not knowing she did this, i MD the same spot and found a thin copper bracelet.
Then, a week later, i found a 1976 gold class ring in a school yard! I was stunned. This is the best ring yet.
If you want to MD to the fullest extent, use the DFX

I've had many hobbies and this is my favorite.
AEC in Cumming, GA (north of Atlanta) -
I've never owned a metal detector but have always wanted one, so I purchased my first White's detector. I bought the DFX model. I've only had it for one day and I have already found my first silver dime in the first 30 minutes of ownership. I found it on the property of a torned down house. I can see now why the metal detectors are so popular. I guess I need to read a bit more to learn how to maximize the benefits to this model, however, I'm having some great fun with this.

Worth every Penny.
Bill in USA -Purchased my first detector, the DFX, and I love it. The turn on and go programs work great for a beginner and the basic and pro adjustments are easy to get to and adjust. After some time with the detector it was a breeze digging coins out of the ground. I have even found part of a gun from the Civil War. The only down side to the detector is the pinpointing could be little more accurate but I am still using the 9.5 coil which leaves room for human error.

Five Months and Going Strong
CrazyCraig in Fond du Lac, WI -I have been detecting for 5 months know with the DFX, and love it. I'm a person who likes to take control of of my settings and trys to get the deep targets without the junk, and it does this very, very well. I will say the DFX isn't a grab and go detector and take a lot of time to master and I'm no master (YET). After five months I bought the Matrix M6. Because I believe one detector wasn't going to satisfy all my needs. Some part of me likes the grab and go detector and the other likes the technical side of the DFX. So what I'm trying to say if your not a technical kind of person and have a hard time programming your VCR try a MXT or M6. If you want the best of the best and don't mind spending hours of your time trying to master something, the DFX is your machine.
DFX FOREVER!!!!!oh yah M6 too.. Later.

DFX - Great detector with a little work.
Jack in Fort Collins, CO -Out of the box this is just a So - So detector. White's Electronics have put a lot of effort in engineering this fantastic metal detector and then have fallen short by including very poor examples of preset programs burned into the eprom. With a little work this will be the metal detector of your dreams. Fortunately there is a huge support base on the internet. Plenty of experienced users who share their custom programs that will maximize your DFX to its full potential. The first 2 weeks I owned the DFX I found an 1892 V Nickel, and a 1906 Indian head penny. I found both coins in a park that has been hunted to death. Both coins were Identified correctly by the display icons, VDI numbers and Tone. This is proof to me that this detector is a sound investment. If you see a negative review of this machine, it is because the user did not take the time to learn the unit. Happy Hunting!

A super clad coin finder!
Will in Tn -
If you are into finding new coins, this is detector is for you! Like to play with controls and look at a meter? You are in business here. If I was deaf, I would be happy as you can get. Into serious treasure hunting? Go back to basics. Get a top of the line Whites 4900D with all you will ever need. In the know treasure hunters would never bother with this one. Use your hears and your head! Yes, if does upset me a little that treasure hunting has gone to this point when we could do better!
