The M6 can, and since the MXT has pretty much the same Ground Tracking, it should be able to also.Quote:

the V will do it if you turn on the autotrac on and leave the gain about 10.. you have to get a good initial ground balance though.. thumbsup01
My Beach Hunter I.D. works great for finding the coins and jewelry on the beach or in the water. It's a dual frequency with the same frequencies as the DFX.
what i was looking for as answer was a mid priced non whites detector that might work well. Since i don't know anything about other brand detectors.thanks for the replys Jim
No problem for my DFX JIM ,,, I would think any multi frequency detector can do the same..
Garrett AT Pro, is mid priced and is water proof up to 10 feet depth. The standard headphones that come with it are not though, but the connector where it screws to the housing is.Quote:

I will have one in a few days.
As along as it is not wet sand the MXT will work, but has some problems with the wet stuff on a beach.Quote:

Good Luck

I have found the same thing here in Santa Cruz. Love the MXT in the dry, but switch to the PI for wet! Not a bobby pin or bottle cap is safe from the PI!! :beatdown: :boxing: :poke:Quote:
