OK, I'll start this one off.
I have an XP Goldmaxx (not the power) it's a brilliant machine & with the small search head I find it great for getting between the rows of stubble.
I have modified it so it's fitted onto a Whites Stem.
It weighs next to nothing & is more than capable of making the smallest of finds under the noisiest of conditions.
I always run mine in the two tone mode for ease of use. ie Grunt = Walk & Chirp = Dig.
I wouldn't want to be without my XP.

I only use the 2 machines as the MXT works on wet sand and cuts through the corn stubble but I use the XP for everything else!  Smiley
I do also have a Laser Hawkeye & an MP Quattro but these are confined to the cupboard! Angry
People have told me time and time again to keep at it with the Quattro but I just can't cope with all the different tones all the time and when it does give me a good signal I seem to chase it all over the place.
The Hawkeye is very good but I don't think it will ever beat the Whites/XP.
I was thinking about buying a T2 but will probably get a new coil for the MXT instead.

Thanks, BottyBurp !
I was lucky, friend of mine gave me his  original stem i could cut into pieces...
(needed 15 cm and the extra piece with pop in pin thingys )
He did it more easy, just ordered an X Terra- stem and put on the XP armcup.
The lower stem fitted perfect, no need for drilling new holes.

A worthy detector to have. i`ve used the Mk1 & the Power . Liked them both . But i now favor the F75 personally. Its as fast (arguably faster by some)as the Goldmaxx in its recovery speed, but Finds Targets Deeper by using a lower kHz of 13.

The first out is the 36/30, this one is for the LF detectors.
Next model will be 36/30 G for us with the HF`s.

You get a searchcoil for the price of two, maybe twice as good...  Guess not !  Tongue
The low frequency coil should work better at this size, so i`ll wait and see if this is revolutionary engineering art .
Stock coil works well, so im in no hurry !
