In late January through the early part of February I did a lot of metal detecting with my new Whites MXT. For the most part I detected in my front and back yard. I was surprised to see how much my other two detectors missed and how much the MXT picked up. I was happy to see how well the MXT was at picking up small buttons. Buttons are some of my favorite finds, so this was definitely good to see. The MXT definitely detects deeper and is good at picking up small targets at good depths. It was early February and I was metal detecting in my front yard when I got a good signal. I dug down about 9 inches and found an old button. I stuck the Pro Pointer back into the hole and got another signal. I ended up pulling 4 buttons out of the same hole!!! These buttons turned out to be old United States Air Force buttons from the early 1940's. I had a great couple of hunts with my Whites MXT and I can tell it is going to be a great year!

 

Hello nice to meet you. nice finds, I also enjoy finding buttons I got only a few but I came across a really nice site that's producing some old relics from the early 1800s an maybe even earlier I have a post up in my best finds with what I got as of now but here in MA. Its been in the single digits today low 20s so I can't dig in the fields so anyways I run with a whites DFX awesome machine I love it whites makes a great product it can definitely pick up the really small target's an sometimes the small can be vary great as well, again nice to meet you an happy hunting looking forward to seeing more of your YouTube videos
