This was not because the other modes were unusable, they were, but the point of this particular exercise was to see if that SAND mode worked. Deals of America is a federally registered trademark of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission. I've relied on smaller coils most of the time since 1968 and when you get into some of the very challenging ghost towns and other sites with a lot of dense iron debris small coils rule. How does the MTXE perform and more to the point, is that “SAND” mode a gimmick or does it really work?

If they take to it, then I can move them up to a better detector as they get more involved in detecting. It won’t detect a target much deeper than around 8″ which is the same as the MTXE but due to the slower recovery speed, there is a chance that many targets would be missed. However, this should always come with the caveat that you will most certainly miss some good targets if you notch out bottle caps, no matter what target id they fall under.As a beginner, you don't want to invest too much money in a detector until you're sure you'll enjoy the hobby. Versatility The Dr Otek MT XR is a versatile metal detector that can be used in a variety of settings. With 5-level sensitivity, you can adjust the sensitivity to counteract some interference factors and find the target faster. Simultaneous multi-frequency machines such as the Minelab Equinox/Vanquish, Nokta Makro Legend, Garrett Ace Apex and lately the XP Deus II tend to be the way to go.

The MTXE is a good machine for those looking not to spend too much but wanting something that isn’t at the “toy detector” end of the scale. Single-frequency detectors can suffer a severe performance hit when confronted with the heavily mineralised ground of wet salt sand. With so many different models and brands to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to begin.As a member of our sub you are welcome to use our sub's code "REDDITMD" at checkout on Kellycodetectors. It seemed to do everything I'd want: detect different metal types, provide a percentage likelihood of identification, and spot unwanted metals to avoid digging them up. Whether you're detecting on the beach, in a park, or in your own backyard, this detector will perform well. Especially as you get close to the pier and start hitting all those bits of iron, rusty nails and melted aluminium cans from countless barbecues and bonfires. These days we are used to spending a fair bit of money on a metal detector, especially if you want to use it on wet sand.
