  • Thanks for your detailed and fair review, Garren. Dr. Otek is committed to getting more people to try metal detecting. We hope the lighter weight and more basic and simple operation can allow all ages to experience it🥰

    Thx for the review. Just got an MTXR for Xmas. I'm very very excited to metal detect for the first time. I mean I have before, but I've been using a 20 year old Bounty Hunter Junior lol. Found me a lot of 1800s nails though. I have a 10sq mile permission that dates back to 1694 and has never been hunted before
  • I wish I had this machine for my first detector. Mine was a 1979 Radio Shack detector and found nothing but 12" beer cans. 😂

    I got my mt xr about 2 weeks ago this being my first detector I agree with everything you said, easy to put together, easy to adjust lengths and settings and worked very well in my backyard, my brother in law just ordered one as well.....great video very informative thank you

    I really want to thank you. I learned so much about zeroing in on a target from you than any Other web site. I just subscribed to your find channel my friend.👍
  • Not a bad entry level machine. However, once you have used an Equinox, the recovery speed is very noticeable. I’m curious to see how well the handheld pinpointed works.

    Mine arrived yesterday, I have the trowel in my set, have an army surplus folding spade in a pouch already and just waiting for my sand scoop to arrive. Need a pin pointer but am stuck with which one is best value.

    Ive got a question, when i power mine on i see a bluetooth icon in the left bottom corner is that of any use? If so whats it used for? Thanks
  • @frankvaccaro7541
    When i followed the link in the paperwork that came with it it said to do the survey and a couple other things and receive a free gift a finds bag or a digger tool well i did what it said then never seen anything about that free gift anymore

    Just got this detector to look for a lost earring. Need to study a bit more before searching but putting it together was a bit tough for me (76 years old) so I feel like half the battle is won already.
