Interesting topic....Don't be too concerned about your editing it's just a slight learning curve that comes with the territory and gets much easier over time. I myself had a lot of trouble at first as this forum is my first experience with social media....And still learning of course.

I don't think that I have 30 days on here so not too sure if I can edit my posts yet

Not sure why the photos went in that order, I can't seem to edit

So if someone is interested in buying "Digging Deeper With The DFX" or "The MXT Edge", by Jeff Foster, may be this will help...

Thrace has been in business a good long while. They have a good reputation as far as I know.

The Detech coils are well made and perform very well.

Yes, I've bought a few Detech coils off them, they're good, fast shipping considering and I was provided tracking details.  Trustworthy seller.

Have bought a fair few coils from them over the years to the UK and never had any issues what so ever.

All good from me as well…..bought direct from them a few years ago with no problems at all. My recent Detech coil was through my dealer and it was sent from Detech direct…..excellent service as expected.

Cool thanks for the replies 

I bought a detech ultimate 13" for my mxt from them , thought it was kind of weird no tracking info 

Has anyone bought a coil from trace- detectors off ebay  out of Bulgaria

This book is still available for purchase from Serious Detecting.

From the interest shown recently about the MXT, I thought it may be something worthwhile for some users.

It shows the book is sold out , maybe because I'm looking from Canada 

Nice find , I have been to 1 pow camp on Lake of the Woods Canada 30 plus years ago , I would eventually like to revisit with a metal detector

Well in that case I would say you need a DD like the 6x10 or the 10" Round one, But don't forget the 6x8 and the 10x12 S.E.F coils because they seem to work better than most Coils in hot soils,

Thanks for all the help

You can still use the 12" coil in junk filled sites, The key to using that coil is to turn down the Gain to around 6 to 8 and give the Coil a chance to see whats in the Ground, Maxing out the Gain with big or Small coils is a bit like Driving in the Fog with your headlights on Highbeam, Dip the Power and trust the machine, The 12" coil is very powerful when used correctly Also never fret when you turn the Gain  down on the MXT's because the Gain control does not work like any other detector,

 

As you turn the Gain up on an MXT you will hear it click, I call it Changing Gears because every time it clicks it multiplies the Gain  IE On Low it is 1X and the Next click it is 2X and the Next Click it is 4X and the Next Click it is 8X and on the 5th click it is runing at 16X, These Click are Boosting the return signal So never be affraid to turn the MXT around 6 to 8+/-.

 

I know we all have our set/preferred ways of using Detectors but if you turn it down it stops the FOG and allows the Coil/MXT to see good Targets lying close to bad targets,

 

Hope that helps, Good Luck.

It only seemed to work good with gain down really low, I have been running in coin/jewelry 

I also have a new to me mxt 300, 

It has the 12" coil and seemed to get a lot of multiple targets,  I would dig and find pull tabs and a 1941 quarter dollar and sometimes nothing. I'm thinking the ground is heavily mineralized, would another coil help with the heavy mineralized ground 

Thanks for any help

Pretty much a newbie,  I had a metal detector years ago , but never seemed to have time.

Now years later and I still don't have a lot of time lol

Thanks for your help

Hi I bought an mxt 300 from an yard/estate sale and would like to know the age of the metal detector 

Thanks
