it has been HOT here for months and i havnt been real motivated to go out,well wife and i took the kids camping yesterday and last night i went m.d.ing ,what a blast ,i love the backlight on the pro and the kids loved it to helping out .funny thing is with a flashlight it seemed easyer to see objects i had dug up than during the day light who knows mabey i just get distracted during the day .also i find the longer i use the mxt and play with it the more i learn was camped at a old homesite at the edge of a alkali flat and pulled at least 50 bullets,casings ,nails ,pull tabs ect,and really learned alot about the settings on salty areas.found that if i hit something kick the salt crust off the top and then it would read pretty accurately.the mxt never ceases to amaze me on it being able to read hot rocks corectly .btw i had a whites dd 6x9 coil on .the the hypersat maxed out disc off i was pulling stuff up easily from 10" it gets noisy but i dont mind it (not any noisier than a 5 and 6 year old with you)
