I am here in Fla for the winter and the beach is sanded. I broke out the MXT with the DX-1 and have been having the time of my life. The thing is the soil here is very mineralized and they lay down sod which grows on top of sandy soil. With the probe I am able to find targets quickly and without disturbing much of the sod. This comes in handy when the property owner comes along. Anyway, I am very pleased with the probe as it acts as a "mini" coil with VDI and depth readings that are a big help when trying to locate the target in trashy areas. I just ordered a HH uniprobe and will let you know the difference.

It makes finding the target so much faster and easier and my wife which uses the MXT with the Sun Ray probe can find so much more on each outing with it as she can find the target fast and on to the next target. Also like it was said before on targets not deeper than 3 inches you can use the probe and pop the target out of the ground and not disturb the ground much, so you can go more place and cant even tell you were there.
To me it is by far the best accessory you can buy for your MXT.

I think the DX-1 probe is outstanding! It speeds up recoving targets much much faster. Also I like that it displays a VDI number on the MXT when probing. Well worth it I think! Got one for the DFX as well.

I usually use a handheld pinpointer for open-hole probing. I use my DX-1 mainly for targets that are less than 3" deep to get a very fine pinpoint.

Also have had some luck using it in spots where there are several very close targets (for better target separation and more accurate ID). So If there's nails, pulltabs, and silver quarter in a foot square area, I scan it with the probe to find the good target out of the mess. That 1" coil really works well for this.

HI

How deep,can you pinpoint with it?

 

[Gadget]

Usually no more than 3" from the surface. Seems like I've had some luck a bit deeper, but it's very faint and you'd need a good set of headphones if you planned on using it that deep. Handhelds are usually around 1-1
