Hey there folks.
Thought I’d do a little review on the 440.
I met a guy here in town that owned a couple 440 detectors.
We finally made it out to a couple parks. I’m a long time Whites MXT user, but wanted to try out the “light weight“ 440.
The MXT is a heavy tank compared to the 440.
I was really curious as to how the multi-iq would do.
We went to a couple parks I had hunted in the past, but still turns up modern clad regularly.
I was curious to see if the 440 would pull out some deep targets the old MXT had missed.
Let me start by saying “18” is the foil number on this machine…
Lots and lots of can slaw. Coin mode was noise. I quickly learned to program custom mode and blanked that notch out.
The following targets were all 20-25 VDI. Mostly all modern dimes and copper pennies. However, deep cans cam in at 27-29.
Which throw me a off a bit looking quarters. (None were found this trip)
Over all, the 440 seemed to be a stable machine.
but I’m not sure I like VDI range being so short. The MXT goes from 1-99, where the 440 is 40 I believe?
This seems to bunch more targets in to one range. Where the MXT is “easier to read“ or discriminate a when the target is consistent VDI.
Sure, this isn’t the best method to find all the good stuff. But it helps you cherry pick when time is limited.
All good detectorist know, dig all the “good” beeps. But that’s not always feasibl.
Over all, I’d say the 440 was a good machine. Definitely recommended.
I can’t give a good comparison to my MXT as I’ve used it for 13 years now.
And the 440 I’ve only used about 4 hours.
