MXT ( 3 machines in one)
I purchased my White's MXT in AUG 06. My only regret is that I didn't purchase the White's MXT years earlier. On my first outing to the beach with my new machine, I was amazed at how easy it was to operate and how it out performed other metal detectors, that I had used in the past. To top it off, I even found my first gold ring, from that point I was hooked on this detector.Ground balancing doesn't get any easier, choose one of the 3 positions; Salt, Lock or Ground and then set the other knobs to the preset settings and find a clean area with no metal, pump the coil a couple times above the surface of the clean area and start having fun detecting. It is great having the ability to choose from the 3 separate programs, Coin & Jewelry, Relic and Prospecting. It is truly like having 3 Metal Detectors in 1.
Being stationed overseas, I enjoy spending my free time metal detecting with the MXT. It doesn't matter if it is out in the woods, on a beach or down at a local park. The MXT has proved itself time after time to be a fantastic piece of equipment in any setting. The weight and balance of this machine is excellent, you reap the benefit of this at the end of long day of detecting.
I'm constantly amazed at the amount of coins, jewelry, and miscellaneous items I have found with my machine. If you are looking for one machine that can make the difference in your metal detecting endeavors, I highly recommend the MXT. If you are beginner or a seasoned Treasure Hunter this machine is a must..
I would rate this detector 5 stars

Whites MXT a review for a Great Detector!
I have been using various detectors for about 30 Years or so and then due to natures of job had stopped for about 10 Years. This Year I wanted to get back in to it so I had to purchase another detector I searched alot of sites on metal detecting and read most of the reviews. at First I wanted the DFX which is Whites Top of the Line! Although it is an excellent detector I found the Learning curve to be exhausting. and also found myself getting frustrated on trying to learn the machine. and for me not having as much fun as I personally wanted. Even I did not listen to the sales Rep. on his recommendations on the right machine for me. and his was at the time of purchase was the Whites MXT. although I Found the DFX a really good machine it was not the Machine for me.So I traded it for the Whites MXT. I found quite a few MXT owners were extremely happy with their MXTs. Once I found out the Differences for example if you are planing to search for Relics, Coins, and Gold the MXT is very adapt on being a multi use machine. The DFX was weaker on hunting for gold. But Stronger on beach hunting and coin and relic. although I plan on hunting for all 3 main items Gold, Relic and Coin The MXT to me is far better and at a lesser price. In my Case, it was not better to go for the Top Of The Line machine, but go for one more suited for me.
I found the MXT although priced less Much more simple and after watching the DVD that came with it and reading the Manual took it out to a Friends yard where I had also taken the DFX, Where I had more fun and went over the same areas where we had planted (without my Knowledge) Gold, some Relics and Coins as my Friend had did with the DFX. I found all the items including older coins not having been Planted!! I had so much more Fun then I had with The DFX I am not cutting the DFX down just that it was not the Detector for me, The MXT although Patterned after Whites GMT hit the Mark as a Fun, Simple Multipurpose detector! I also used the 950 Coil that had came with the Detector. The MXT although I live in Scottsdale Arizona and do not hunt on Beaches from all articles and Having talked with MXT owners works also well on the Beach but not as well as the DFX. Again for its Simplicity the MXT has a rather large Following and has Proved it self to be and also to me a very reliable detector where I believe very strongly that for the money compared to the more expensive brands and detectors out there, more value for the Money which is very important for me! a word of advice on Buying this Detector or Any Detector for that matter LISTEN to your local Shop and the Sales Rep. and Find the Detector that is RRIGHT for YOUR NEEDS! For Me the MXT is the Right Value and I have no desire to seek another Detector. Thanks for Reading this Review-Gary.

A Real Winner
I've used White's machines for years, and this one is a winner! The numerical reference scale, combined with the two-tone audio makes it an awesome relic, coin, and jewelry finder. The target display seems to want to call most good items a "buckle"(in relic mode), but I don't mind. No machine is perfect, but this one comes closer than alot of them.Average rating:5.0 based on 5 reviews

MXT.....The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
I picked up an MXT about a month ago. I've had a Compass Coin Scanner which has served me well since the early 90's and figured it was about time for an upgrade. I'm no professional MDer, but here is how I see it thus far.The Good: For the money, I really like the idea of having a high end machine that is basically 3 detectors in one unit. It's well balanced and the readout is pretty simple to understand. I've found some nice stuff in the coin and jewelry mode and also the relic mode (Lots of coins, relics, and my first gold ring). Out of the box, with the standard Eclipse 950 coil, it is light years ahead of anything I have used. I have yet to do pure nugget/picker shooting in the prospecting mode, but have put some small gold samples out to check it with the 4X6 DD coil and it picks up some pretty small stuff. I've found the 4X6 DD coil has worked great for me in some pretty trashy areas I've been working that tends to be higher in mineralization. I've also picked up the Super 12 coil. It too, works well and I can cover quite an area with it.
The Bad: The only thing I can think of is if White's could come out with some kind of processor chip "add-on" to plug into your brain. This would give you instant MXT knowledge all at once for optimally running this machine at any time, for all the different conditions, coils, settings.....etc (Of course, isn't this something we all wish for with any machine we are running?) haha
The Ugly: Looking at my facial expression when I'm in the middle of detecting and the low battery signal lights up and realize I left the spare batteries at home!

Whites E-Series MXT
I started Metal Detecting on and off in 1990 with most of my hunting in central North Carolina. I purchased a Whites 5900 DP Pro relic hunter which worked out very well even though the learning curve was a little steep for a beginner, but I finally got the hang of it.. I stared visiting the beach in 1998 and decided to purchase a Whites Surf Pi Pro machine strictly for hunting the beach areas... This machine was good to 100' underwater.I recently sold both machines to buy an Whites E series MXT
which came with the 9.5" eclipse coil. I hunt for coins and jewelry, relic hunt and do some prospecting while on vacation, so I needed a machine that would handle all my hunting endeavors, instead of buying 2 or three machines, I decided that
this metal detector was the best for my needs.
The MXT has three separate operating modes which cover
coin/jewelry, Relic hunting, and gold prospecting. Each
operating mode has its own target responses, display information and audio frequencies which make it a very powerful metal detector.
The LCD offers VDI (Visual Discrimination Indexes) from -95 to +95, target blocks, coin/jewelry/trash target labels along with
automatic battery check, low battery alert, overload alert and depth readings.
The MXT also has adjustable discrimination, gain threshold, plus an alternate trigger mode "pull" to pinpoint your find.
In Relic mode the display offers VDI from -95 to +94, target blocks, target labels, all of the above things. Three alternate trigger modes allows for your personal preferences and unique
audio response similar to mixed-mode audio, a favorite for relic hunters.
The Prospecting Mode is patterned after the Whits famous Gold master metal detector with the features above, plus % probability (% possible iron) and a ground phase system. This
mode is a real gold machine designed to Jimmy "Sierra" Normands's specifications.
Each mode on this machine offers optional search and
discrimination methods Ie: Disc Notch, Mixed Mode Audio, VCO and more.
In all modes of the MXT you get automatic ground balance which is simple, lightening fast and accurate from mountain minerals to salt water.
The MXT has 3 adjustment controls:
GAIN maximizes sensitivity & depth.
THRESHOLD allows you to hunt with a slight hum or hear
only the sound of detected targets.
DUAL CONTROL fine tunes the
discrimination in the coin & jewelry and relic modes. In the prospectin mode the Dual Control adjusts the S.A.T. (self adjusting threshold) speed - an essential option for prospecting.
It has a lot more in depth setting which will fine
tune it to your specific hunting style.
This metal detector has an operating frequency of 14ktz and has a drop in battery pack which delivers up to 40 hours on 8 "AA" batteries. This an intermediate level machine, but by using the factory presets you can be finding coins and jewelry or relics or even gold without any training, if you would like more in depth information on the inside tips and tricks you can purchase a specialty book which will show you how to fine tune your MXT.
I have been using this machine for a little while now and have been vary happy with results I have been getting. I cant wait until this summer to test out the prospecting mode of this
detector.
If you a want the ability to flip a switch and hunt the beach, the woods or the mountains, this is the machine for you.
