Here's A Great Article By Steve Herschback, He talks about The Garrett Infinium and The MXT And Finding BIG GOLD,

I think He Is One of, If Not the Most Talented Prospectors Ever, And He Has A Mountain Knowledge Which he is always eager To Share, And He Is A Damn Good Bloke Too,

Yep he's on A Few from what I have seen, His own forum is good and they are nice people there,  I think it's the best one out there,

I see that amazon has it for 750 us. They do not offer the 13 dd coil for 99 bucks. Has anyone ordered a MD from amazon? Is there a better place to order?

Mike, I would not Get that coil Because the 10" DD has the sensitivity that Finds Items about  the size of 2 sugar Grains and That's the Coils I have done all my Testing with, I know its up to you, and that 13" coil is good but Whites do have 2 Deeper Coils if you need them, But more Important that big 13" Might be a bit of a hand full in the woods or for Prospecting around Rocks and Such,

If you want It for the Beach then the Concentric Coils are Better and they don't suffer from EMI and they Are Very Sensitive,

Before you buy Any Coils Go to the Whites Forum and Click On Talk to Whites and then Click on the Reason I Like Whites and you will find all the Info you need, Ok

Good Luck. RR

Thanks RR. I got to thinking that I only used my large coil for the 6000 only one time.

How well does the MXT All Pro handle EMI. I have some high tension lines going over a section of my property. About 100 to 200 feet from a 100 year old home site I thought of digging.

I mostly look for coins or relics. Never thought of gold until you mentioned it. Found I am near the gold fields in North Carolina. In 1799 a 17 pound nugget was found in Cabarrus County. About an hour from my house. You got me thinking. I was told there was gold on my farm. I never looked for it. Guess I will have to do some investigating.

Well The Beauty of the MXT is that it is 3 Machines In One, The 9.5/950 coil handles the EMI Very well, But if the Ground is Fairly Mineralised where you are I would Go with the 6X10 DD But If you are Going for Coins In Fairly High Mineralised Ground I would Get the  10" D2 Coil because it will go deeper, But If you have Shallow Soil with Bedrock close to the surface I would also get the 6" 5.3 Concentric Coil because it's great for Trashy Areas and it will find coins from 7 to 10" Deep,

So If you want Depth Get the 10" D2 (DD) Coil or for in and around Rock Get The 6X10 DD Coil and In Shallow Bedrock and Junk filled sites use the 5.3 Concentric Coil.

The MXT will Do Everything you want and the 10" D2 Round Coil will see the Very Small Nuggets and it will Punch Deep On The Large ones, If the Ground is Low Mineralised Soil the you Can Cheat and Use the 12"/300 Concentric Coil, People have Pulled ONE OUNCE Nuggets at 18" with that Coil, But Because you want it for Mixed Hunting I would Go with the 10" D2 Coil First, Then Add your Finds to the Kitty and when we know how Hot the Ground is You can Fine Tune the Machine with A Coil that Suits the Purpose and the Terrain,

It is A Very Simple Machine to operate and If you get stuck Give me A Call and I will give you the Links I wrote Here and you will be Up and running the Moment you Open the Box.

If there has been gold found there Check near and In the Creek Beds and around any exposed Bedrock and  Seriously Check out Any Areas with Quartz On Them and Who Knows you might stumble on An 18 pound Nugget,

Remember if you Find One Small or Tiny Nugget He Will Have Cousins In The Area, So Set the Place out in Squares and Grid The Area Like A Man on A Mission, Ok.

Good Luck. Great
