Wife is beating me

[Rick(ND)]

With finds with her MXT again. Went to a old farmstead we been trying to get to, but only had about a hour and a half today. Last week we went to a competition hunt and she got more silver then me too. Today i was using my Explorer XS II with the Joey coil and she had her MXT with the 6X10 DD coil she like so well.
First off she gets a 1982 dog tag, no big deal, but then in another part of the yard she gets another with one number different.That had to be a good sign for her as her luck was good.

I wind up finding a token that was a advertising one for the Comstock Hotel in Moorhead MN that said all you can eat for 50 cents, now that was a good deal back then, but mine has a hole shot though the middle of it. Thought I was doing OK until she went were I just came from and came walking over the one of the nicest 1920 S standing lib quarter, one with a date that is rare.

The wife and her MXT beat me again, so it was a good day for her.

Rick, take the batteries out of her MXT, that will help even things out Kudos to her on that SLQ, really pretty. Both of y'all keep up the good work. Nuthin' but dirty ol little Mojave Midgets for me these days. HH Jim

Hi Jim,

Still after the last few years trying different detectors this MXT is still one of the best detectors out there. I know it is the best Whites I have ever used and my wife forbids be selling her MXT this time as this is our 3rd one as I sold the others 2 on her when someone wanted to buy them.She never had a detector that she has got so many great finds with in her 32 years of detecting.

Hi Rick
I guess your wife is covered for Rabies now
By the way,between the MXT and the XLT, which of these 2 detectors do you think is the better one for coin shooting, or are they fairly close in performance?
Thanks,
Mick Evans.

... that although the XLT has a few "bells and whistles" that the MXT doesn't posess, the MXT gets far better depth on coins and jewelry, and, as a nugget hunter, the MXT blows away the XLT. IF your question is relative to the decision to buy either one, I'd strongely recommend the MXT over the XLT. Hope this helps; HH Jim

I used to have a XLT and used it for over a year and did OK, but with all the different setting it has I find you spend a lot of time trying to get just the right one. With the MXT is is basically a turn on a go detector that is so easy to set and use. Many try to run the gain at max and complain it is noisy, I found before it goes in the plus numbers has worked good for me and when a weak signal I can up the gain for that. I find I never dug as deep and as good of ID with the XLT as I do with the MXT. The MXT is one great detector and is hard to beat as many are seeing.

Hey Rick, If you can't beat'um, join'um, especially if you're living with them. That 1920-S SLQ is a REAL BEAUTY!! That ought to be WORTH A FEW BUCKS!!! Tell your wife I said WTG!! I guess them EXPLORERS aren't everything, all the time!! HH, Les

Thanks Rick and Jim.
I was hoping that that was case.I want a high quality detector in my arsenal and the MXT looks like it will be the one! Love it's coil selection. The only hurdle now, is the money.This will give me something to strive for with my hunts.We have $1 and $2 coins in the ground over here, in fact, for me, they seem to be the most common coin I find; so hopefully it might take several months only of hunts(especially if I can get into a city/metropolitan area,then it may only take several weeks.)
Gold hunting sounds interesting too, as I live near some gold country.Just to find a couple of pieces would be a real buzz.
Catch you later; and will post once I have the beast and are making finds.

Then, frankly, mate, the MXT really IS the best choice for your use and your soil. HH Jim

Yeah Jim.
Dubbo is 400km north west of Sydney.
Where do you live?
By the way,I saw a couple of firsts today.Saw a fella swinging a Quattro(no1)on an old demolished home site(only the 4th person I've ever seen swing a detector) and when I went over to him and introduce myself; he showed me an American dollar dated 1878!(no2)that he had just found. He was tickled pink.Man that's a big coin! It makes you wonder how it got there.It had come half way around the world over a century ago.My best guess, is that he/she came out for the gold rush that we had near to here through the late 1800's.But that's part of the beauty of this hobby(the mystery of how coins came to be where we find them). Anyhow, we struck up a bit of a friendship and it looks like I've finally found a detecting buddy to go hunting with.
Hope this posts finds you well.
All the best,
Mick Evans.
