MXT Closet Queen Thrills With Bigfoot

[Rick K - First Member]

I just got a perfect closet queen MXT. Absolutely like new. On a whim, I decided to try it with my Bigfoot for DFX/MXT.

air test only, coil lying on a table.

MXT in relic mode with full boost....shock.

ID on a dime at 7"+, nicely audible threshold break at 9"+.

Whatwhatwhat???

OK, so I try the 14" elliptical DD. 2 to 3 inches less...

So I power up my OK DFX in its deepest mode - prospecting...with the same Bigfoot.

a bit less than the 14" ...

I have searched the forums a bit for experience with the Bigfoot and the MXT. I have found no such results.

Need to get in the dirt with it.

Which MXT model did you find? I have a new MXT ALL Pro, and several coils, one being a Big Foot! But I haven't done any testing between them! Interesting!🍀👍👍

mine is the original. I have no idea if there would be any difference between the various ones.

I claim to be shocked and surprised.

One big caveat. I haven't tried it in the dirt.

One other thing, I live in a tightly built development, there are dozens of wifi routers around, they make most coils nuts with noise.

The Bigfoot is deaf to all that, quiet as a mouse

I remember years ago, the DFX with a bigfoot coil was a real coin magnet. 

In 2010 I had a Mr Bill modified IDX, with a bigfoot coil on it. I have always regretted selling it, it found a lot of keepers.

Tom, I have a modified IDX Pro and the correct Bigfoot. I plan to sell it, are you interested?

Tom is totally right about the DFX/Bigfoot combo.  Never had one myself but a guy years ago just killed it at Santa Monica with his.  If I recall he mainly hunted the dry but also did well in the wet.  I think Steve still owns that combo but I might be mistaken.
