MXT-300 VDI

[Noir]

Hello all, I'm new to MD'ing and just bought a White's MXT-300. I've seen a VDI list a couple times at the metal detector store and remember some of them but is there a list,chart,guide, etc. on the VDI #'s for the MXT-300? I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but could not find a search feature, sorry in advance and Thanks

It's the same for the MXT's and the M6. This will get you started. I got it from Reno's site a while ago. Rob

Most men’s wedding bands and ladies gold rings read in the 10 to 30 range in my soils.
Larger men’s rings and “class” type rings usually read in the 30 to 53 range.
Nickels usually read in the 18 to 20 range in my area soils.
Silver rings are usually not ignored by detectors as they usually read in the dime to quarter range A VDI number between 30 to 55 it is almost always a square pull tab or aluminum screw cap.
Pay particular attention to those signals which register from +10 to +20. Probably 95% of all potential gold ring finds will register there. Remember VDI's are affected by depth, mineralization, and fringe targets.
