I have been using the Nokta Simplex Ultra and Legend and love them both. Monday, I pulled my MXT Pro out. Concentric 950 9" coil. Did around the soccer fields for 4 hours. Had a blast with it. Fields were not very trashy at all. 42 coins and a 14k gold ring 3 inches down. I'm 69 and had no trouble swinging it at all. I'm lucky I can do it, MXT has been in the basement for maybe 8 years. Ran 2 tone and VDI was on the button on coins.
My DFX 300 concentric coil turned my MXT into a mid-frequency beast. Warts and all the DFX and MXT have a decient range of coil choices, just not a decient range of frequency choices. The D1 and D2 are it because they cover the frequency ranges we all need for deep silver all the way to mid-depth and shallow gold. Hunting for gold in the western usa requires multi frequencies because gold comes in so many different sizes and its located at different depths. If the NOX 900 had frequencies between 20 and 40 (which it doesn't) say 25 and 30... then it would be closer to perfect on gold. The D2 does a better job of covering the frequency range in the ranges we need to prospect for gold... and it tracks the mineralization type and mineralization strength just like the GMT-E SERIES... When the ground gets to hot then we have to break out the TDI SL (or the 4500 (if you're lucky enough to have one))... and then its game on with the right coils...
The old Tesoro beep machine is still holding up: c/p The Tesoro Tejon metal detector was introduced in 2003 and ceased production in 2018. It is a 17.4 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, relic, and gold nugget detecting. "The Tejon features a dual discriminator that is activated by an effortless trigger switch, allowing for an instant target check. This detector also includes a tone adjustment option, which is designed for treasure hunters who have lost the ability to hear certain audio frequencies. The Tejon pushes the coil’s signal deeper while increasing sensitivity for smaller targets. This unit is full of features that amount to more informed choices, less time digging trash, and most importantly: more time hunting." Source: Tesoro 2013 catalog
Wow you swing that fast. The MXT hits small stuff pretty darn well. I have used and owned the XLT,MXT Pro, 2 newer coinmasters, 1 older coinmaster, V3i, Beach Hunter 300, Classic 5 ID, and a DFX. They all worked great.
I have owned many whites detectors for 30 years. The Whites were good for coins. The newer high frequency detectors beat the socks off of the old Whites on small gold jewelry. The Whites served their purpose in the days. I still have many Whites detectors. I take my older detectors out on hunts in the summer and fall. Winter and spring it rains almost every day here in Oregon. Waterproof detectors are a must!!
100% agree... saw my first whites detector in 1974, when I was 13 years old and became a dealer in 1985. At this point...they are all pre-ARM chip stone age metal detectors sold through a stone age inefficient dealer network program that ran up the cost of ownership out into insanity for the end user. The engineers at whites were all Top Ten beyond belief great!... and all together created some amazing products over the years!
I never used MXT cause it was more a relic detector. I had the original Spectrum and still have an XLT E series with standard coil. That machine is a dream to swing and let's you see how coil heavy these new machines are. I have used these machines too cherry pick small gold rings in areas filled with pull tabs. I have recovered a gold diamond stud earring. I don't know about the MXT, but it doesn't represent older machines. This misleads newcomers to think all older machines don't find small gold or foil which simply isn't true. For tot lots or areas I want to find small gold close to the surface the XLT is still my favorite. You don't need multi-frequency for shallow targets or tot lots. A mom and her kids with a cheap Bounty Hunter can clear a tot lot or scoop up surface or near surface finds.
Great comparison on how much detecting tech has evolved over the years. I still use my old e- trac mule for parks but I know its time for an upgrade =D
I have to differ with you Jeremy,, I found plenty of small jewelry with my tesoros in playgrounds,, and they were light enough to swing all day long and recovery speed way guicker than mxt
The Tesoros that are higher frequency perform well in playgrounds and they are lightweight machines. Yes the tesoros will find small targets but the newer higher frequency machines are way ahead for jewelry. The only thing with Tesoros is the 9volt batteries cost a fortune nowadays and the Tesoros do not like rain. I almost bought a Tesoro a few weeks back.
The White's MXT All Pro is the first metal detector I purchased. I traded it for the White's Spectra V3i. The MXT All Pro is 14 kHz. The V3i is most likely the only White's that is still worth having? White's Spectra V3i c/p Those frequencies - 2.5kHz, 7.5kHz, and 22.5kHz. I expect all metal detectors to stop making the simultaneous multi frequence! The Xterra pro may be the best for 2023? Thanks for the video.
Jeremy, I’d bu-bye that machine. Why keep it. It’s so outdated. You named all the reasons why in this video. If you get rid of enough of the old machines, you can buy another scooter and take us on more scooter rides. 😊
Sorry to contradict everyone, but the mxt pro and its cousin the M6 are better coinshooters than most multifrequency new machines. They don’t go as deep I’ll absolutely admit. But put a shooter coil on it, and you can pick through dense trash like no other. It has its place in the arsenal.
I was talking to a guy a few months ago in a playground that was swinging a machine from the 70's or 80's and it looked so heavy and I thought he can't be finding all that much with it. He was also swinging the coil a foot above the ground which was not helping his cause. after swinging the legend for over a year now I could never go back to using the older machines that I remember from 20 years ago.
The MXT? It will hit all the small stuff but you are probably tracking it out. Ground Balance and turn tracking to lock mode...in prospecting mode. You have to turn the machine off and on for this to work. I was tracking out a fine gold bracelet until i figured it out, and yes its old but i can run the crap out of my MXT. I do own The legend the Simplex and both Xp Deus machines but i get a kick out my old Whites machines and they're more fun for me. Oh yea. One more thing, find a coil (The Right Coil) from the hundreds available for the White's MXT. Oh by the way, if you have and old Tesoro Golden uMax that's not cutting it for you in tot lots, shoot me an e-mail, I promise you that Ill make sure I don't rip off your arm when you handed over to me.
All detectors were tuned to the condition of their days...we started from not having to bother about discrimination to find stuff to needing machines emitting multiple rf at once to find every small bit left into the ground. I Was just playing around with my first detector last day, trying to replicate signals dug with my current one... i would have dug about half of them...time goes by.
It will detect foil but the newer detectors with higher frequencies will hit on much lower conductive targets at depth than the MXT. The MXT has the overload tone that makes it tough to get next to the iron posts.
I had a T2 SE. The battery compartment cover broke and the power knob broke in less than 8 months. I liked the performance but the knob on the bottom side of detector was a horrible spot for the knob.
BS you are trying to make it look bad, by sweeping it way too fast BTW try LION battery case, USE the arm Strap and 4x6 DD coil youll see how it rejects bottlecaps like a champ
I sweep my other modern detectors really fast and find lots of coins and jewelry!! I used the MXT detector for years, it served it's purpose until the modern detectors.
@@PaystreakSuperfreak read the manual again then, you have been doing it wrong all this years, youll see that you find a lot more when you sweep like the owners manual, never compare a concentric an a DD coil and call it a comparasion test
I used the Nox 10x5 with the carbon fiber shaft last week for about an hour...my arm almost fell off. Not other detector can compete with the comfort and weight of the Deus.
Mid frequency wasn't the issue. You needed to turn it up. :) That's just a horrible sounding machine by today's standards. High frequency is great for small gold but you also have to suffer through every tiny bit of foil and trash too.......so it's always a matter of making a decision on site based on what's in the ground. Had you just dug everything, which is what I suggest everyone do in playgrounds that machine would have been decent. Other than the fatigue that is.
I have found over 350 rings this year on live dig videos swinging this fast. Have I been doing it wrong all along?? Metal detectors are not under load when in wood chips because no minerals. I see lots of guys killing it swinging fast with their modern metal detectors.
@PaystreakSuperfreak I guess if you want to wear yourself out. The question that needs to be asked, are the rings you find gold valuable rings or cheap rings. I can't find gold rings going that fast. Cheap rings all day. Tot lots equal clad and other junk, but still fun once in awhile and my MXT PRO runs much better then your whites time to send it in to Manassa Virginia for a tune up.
I hunt all day swinging fast like this because my body is conditioned and I swing light detectors with small coils. I hunt over 2000 hours per year. I have over 100 live dig gold rings (many in totlots) and hundreds of live dig silver coins on my channel swinging fast. There may be many reasons why you are not finding gold rings. The processors are so much faster on these modern detectors and these detectors have higher frequencies which are hotter on gold. The Deus detectors I use are less than 2lb. I have been detecting for over 30 years and learn new tricks every day. I have tested field tested many prototypes for Whites, Nokta and XP.
Well sir you must live in good populated areas, your not going to find that in WV where I am. I have hosted hunts and the people who come up from Virginia, Georgia and over from Ohio have stated that the reason there isn't much to find because WV Hill Billy's never had anything to lose. I'm friends with Keith Sourhern and NASA Tom and have had metal detectos sent to me and reviewed bottom line I don't see anything mind blowing except these new lower priced units do an amazing job. Another thing is a normal work week is 2040 hours a year so you detecting actual coil to the ground is quite impressive. Good luck in your endeavors

Very true!!
The MXT was a good detector in its day. But my choice today in a tot lot would have been the Tesoro.

Love comparison videos, I know they all have there strengths and weakness on different ground but still great viewing 😎😎😎

The E-trac is good for deep coins.
just don sell it cause those etracs are really hard to beat in the right hands

So, if adjusted for the conditions and one doesn't have soy arms, the MTX All Pro will still detect (or reject) foil on a playground?
It will detect foil but the newer detectors with higher frequencies will hit on much lower conductive targets at depth than the MXT. The MXT has the overload tone that makes it tough to get next to the iron posts.
i was watching nydetecting the other day and he dug a big iron signal,, it was a big sterling silver bangle,, with an opening
The T2 Se is still a good machine
I had a T2 SE. The battery compartment cover broke and the power knob broke in less than 8 months. I liked the performance but the knob on the bottom side of detector was a horrible spot for the knob.

I did turn it up just for about 10 seconds...way way too unstable. Everything must come out of the playground.
Damn, learn to use and swing it correctly. No one's swings that fast with a small coil.
