Last time I talked about machines, which machine you use doesn't really matter(as long as it can detect the targets your looking for). Most machines will detect Full gold staters down to 5 or 6", quarter staters and small or cut hammies only a couple inches so coil to the deck!
I have had a lot of luck with the Whites MXT, it is a set and go machine. What it lacks in depth is more than made up for in small target recovery and pinpointing. The MXT has a 0 to 100 target range for non-ferious

Ok If I'm going write a blog I may as well try to make it informative. If thats possable.LOL
When detecting in England (plowed fields) I have allways been of the opinion that extra depth for coin sized items is not that important. It is more important to use a machine you are comfortable with.
Those deep big targets (plowparts mosty) will be detectable by most of the better machines. The question is. WILL YOU DIG IT? That loud target that reads 6" and you dig 12 and don't hit it. Do

Well it looks like I get to use some of those United frequent flyer miles. Booked the march trip.

Mark and I are booking a room so we will be well rested to hunt until we cant see anymore on the first day.

Hi all, we are now less than 2 months out, and this Roman new area has me dreaming of pots and torques. Let me say now on January 12th that someone is going to find a monster in the spring! It may not be me but I can feel it. This will be my first 3 week tour and I have started working out daily to make sure I can make the 21- 11 hour hunt days! Thats 221 hours of detecting in three weeks. Of course I won't be able to get all those hours with driving to London every friday to exchange hunters. But
