<p>[QUOTE="mattman, post: 205636, member: 2621"]I use a White MXT. It takes a while to get familiar with and at first I didn't care for it (no tone id) but after some use I really like it. I also have a Radio Shack model that I use as a back up or my son will use once in awhile. My best advice is to not "over buy". Find one that has what you need and are looking for, alot of the bells abd whistles are never used under ordinary conditions. Mine has a gold prospecting feature that I'm sure jacked up the price but in reality I will probably never use. Almost all the better quality detectors will be more than adequete for normal searching, In my experiences alot of times it's not the detector as much as the type of coil you are using that seems to make the biggest difference in a good day of hunting and a so-so day. I have searched places with 1 type of coil and found nothing, switched coils and start getting hits all over. Do a little research, as it appears you are, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mattman</p><p><br /></p><p>PS> Be realalistc about how much you will use it.
