" A Man Has His Creed, And Mine Is All Greed"
I, for health reasons, decided that my trusty MXT was just too heavy for me to work with, much over a couple of hours a day. I decided that I should be working several hours a day.
So greed lead me to buy brand X, a lighter detector, less bells and whistles, but one that on paper, should be just as good at finding gold jewelry. It is a typical, so called, beep and dig machine. Nice detector, fairly inexpensive, and can be worked easily for many hours in a day.
I have owned this detector for 2 or 3 months now, and my "GOLD" finds, have diminished down to nothing. I chalked it up to luck of the draw.
Then I started to work behind it with another, same Brand X detector and was finding things it was missing, but very little GOLD.
So after a 5 month retirement, I got out the MXT and Guess What? I'm finding GOLD again.
Lesson Learned?
It is far better to be productive 2 hours a day, then swing your stuff all day for nothing in the HOT SUN.
I will never put my MXT down again for another.
Here is the best of the finds of 2 one hour hunts with the MXT. The one ring is just a cheapy.
