Get the name right dave. From your six foot 5 inch gorrila mate.

That's quite a feat indeed. I've yet to see any detector who's tone ID was accurate beyond two thirds of it's detection depth.

 

[Dave Z]

Iron,foil,copper,aluminum,brass,silver,etc all have their own sound.I know almost exactly whats under my coil just by its tone.A dime or penny for example will have a high two tone pitch to it.Silver will be pure.Foil is more of a growlling low tone,etc.You don't use a dfx or an xlt for an hour or two however and pick this up.It takes a while and a lot of digging to see what the tones are telling you.

The XLT has awesome tone ID.

 

[WessThompson]

I know many who use the XLT...and they are excited when they dig something deeper than 7"....need I say more?

I love the Tone ID in the minelab Excalibur, but no one ever said a word about it

Yes, the Explorer may go deeper than the XLT. But, one can't deny the fact that the higher end machines that White's put out have some of the best tone ID and discrimination in the business. Overall quality is also an important factor for me. That is why I chose my XLT. I had a Garrett and sold it. I am much happier with the White's machine.
