    Jewelry box top?

    Hey folks... My father and I were out detecting in California's gold country and came across this metal plate. It says "BRIGHTON" in the middle. At first, I thought it was a machinery piece, but then I noticed the designs on the corners. The upper left design is easily seen in the pic. Any...

    false signals...

    Hey all of you fellow MXT-ers... I hope everyone is gearing up for summer! I know I am. Here's a quick question for some of you: When I'm out hunting, I am always on the lookout for silver coins. However, what is your experience with VDI's on this? I know silver coins in my area (high...

    Question for all of you Civil War guys...

    I have been following this forum for a while now, and can't figure out how you all get onto these battle sites. Here in California, EVERYTHING is private property other than parks. Our biggest claim to fame is gold country. But even then, people get all sorts of crazy if you ask to go on...

    Latest Hunt

    I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here are a few finds from my last hunt. I have been researching super hard and have come up a bit short. I know that the button is Levi Strauss and from around 1870. I know that the horn is an infantry kepi badge from the Civil War. But I am concerned...

    Today's find...

    Went out to an older park in Stockton and did some hunting with a good buddy of mine. After about 30 minutes of hunting the grass between the sidewalk and street, I got a VDI of 20-22. I dug down only one or two inches and a 10 gram men's ring popped out. The thing was so big, it fit over my...

    working on jewelry settings...

    Hi everyone... I finally got out today after not hunting for about 2 months! Since the ground is all dried up, I figure the deep silver is going to be too tough to dig up so I am switching gears in an effort to get some more gold. I have noticed that all of my rings and chains have been only...

    new machine?

    Has anyone heard if White's is coming out with a new detector in the near future? I've only been MDing for a little over a year and was curious how often they "upgrade" their machines.

    SEF users

    I have been using that 12X10 SEF coil and have only dug 3 silver coins. Kinda frustrated. I know I am hunting in areas where they are so that's not an issue. So, today, I came home and did an air test. I was at +3 and on iron id. I took out a mercury dime and passed it below the coil. If I...

    Finally!!!!!!

    It's about time. First silver coins!!!! WOOHOO!!! I started hunting in Relic Mode and the first time after switching over from C&J to Relic, I got these at about 4-5 inches. I'm not sure if it is because I wasn't getting deep enough with C&J or if it was just a fluke, but from now on, I'm...

    Ground Balance

    This is probably the most basic of all MXT questions, but I just wanted to make sure I am doing things right. What is the absolute proper way to ground balance the machine? Do you put it on the ground, turn it on, listen for threshold, then pump it? Or turn it on while it is away from the...

    Switching from Coin/Jewelry to Prospecting

    I called the White's rep in my area and discussed different techniques for searching for the deeper coins. He mentioned setting up the MXT Pro in coin and jewelry mode with tone ID on. While it's running like this, he told me to switch it over to prospecting mode. I believe he had mentioned...

    Beach hunting

    Hi All... I'm going to Dillon Beach (just north of San Fransisco) this weekend and am itching to do some beach hunting. I have never been before so I am a little intimidated. I have the 12" coil that came with my PRO, a 6X10 and a 5.6. What would you folks suggest I use? I have had good...

    Some finds

    Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year's! Here are a couple of finds from the past 2 weeks. The necklace was 14K and attached was a baby ring with either an "M" or a "W" on it. I found it in left center field of a baseball diamond here in Lodi. The medal was dug...
