MXT Or Xp Orx?

found it a bit difficult to pinpoint and to isolate one target from another in close proximity

I agree that the pinpointing function on the XP machines is mediocre at best.  I often by pass the pinpoint feature and just use the criss-cross method or wiggle and pull the coil back until the signal disappears at the toe.  It does not come into play using the pinpointing function, but the XP will separate MUCH better than the MXT even with that MXT sniper coil in thick iron and trash utilizing its higher recovery speed settings (don't know if you adjusted those) - in fact the separation in extreme trashy grounds is what separates  (sorry about the pun) the Orx/Deus from other detectors and is considered one of its great strengths.  So your comments kind of surprise me.  Anyway, like I said previously, the MXT is a classic in any event, not surprised you are having trouble parting with it.

Hi Chase,

I didn't do any adjustments so perhaps its why I struggle a bit with separation in trashy areas. I am sure if I gave it more time in the field and learned the machine I would have been able to seperate the targets better. Great machine and one I would own but as most of us know once you get used to a detector the finds get better and you just have more confidence in it. The gold setting really blew me away..as I have owned  number of gold machines form the whites goldmaster to the gold bug, the Orx really is that good.
