Rick K - First Member Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 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!🍀👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom B Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Tom, I have a modified IDX Pro and the correct Bigfoot. I plan to sell it, are you interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill (S. CA) Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
