m6 or mxt

[mole]

I,m thinking of adding one of the above machines  to my present arsenal of minelab quattro goldmaxx mk1 laser powermax2 I,m asking you because I ,ll get an intelligent unbaised reply from you guys my usual critia is based on ease of use and preformance these don,nt always go hand in hand  so if theres only a slight differance between the two should Igo for the m6 thanks royaltea

cheers.

Gadget the xp goldmaxx  is very goood on thin section silver  but it,s also a coke lover  as anyone got a way around this also I would,nt class as a machine for the novice I,M still trying to get t grips with it I did find a very small hammered on an Iron infested site recently  royaltea

I can't comment on the M6 as I've never owned one but I do have an MXT and find it an excellent machine in iron infested areas. In relic mode it gives a low fart to signal ferrous metal and a higher tone for non-ferrous and these signals coupled with the VDU give a very accurate reading of what's under the soil. It's a very easy machine to set up and use.
I bought a Goldmaxx Power just before Xmas and to be honest I'm not totally confident with it, I'm used to looking at a screen to confirm target identity and I find relying on audible signals only a tad frustrating. I'm sure I'm missing good targets.
I also have a DFX but that's another story.lol.

I love my Whites DFX, but have only ever owned a DFX so I got nothing to compare it with.

i'm with dickle on this. i found the mxt great on hammered but it just lacked a bit of depth on pasture but with the arrival of the sef coil's the depth problem could be sorted. i'm on the look out for 1 myself but as i've got2 other machine's i'm not in a rush. go for the mxt you wont be sorry plus whites do a whole array of coil's purpose made.  mike

thanks for the reply Dickle Tafflaff Altinkum dickle you seem to know your onions I.ll try to raise my standards a bar or two altinkum you,ve obviousy have knowledge and experience tafflaff me and you are on a level playing field on this particular topic royaltea dai

Mike I took my MXT & SEF coil to Caerleon for you to try but apparently you left early, perhaps some other time.

[mole]

Thanks for the previous I,m now the owner of a whites m6  all I need to do now is get some practice before the may rally to seeif it,s a coin magnet mole

[sodbuster]

How are you getting on with the m6 , mole

[mole]

Sodbuster Alan have only used it once  but first impressions it,s a very good coinshooter taking it to bassaleg with my explorer11 the reason I bought it was after watching toddy irvine demonstrating the mxt on a cut half it was picked up in the coin and jewellery mode better than than relic or prospecting it,s a lot easier to use cheaper fits in with my goldmaxx and explorer 11 all used in all metal audio disc good hunting mole

[buzzerman]

not sure about the m6 supposed to be a simpler version of the mxt which i used with a 12x10 sef coil which gave much more depth than any of the whites coils so with that experience my choice would be have to be the mxt.
