Geno, The MXT is a fine all round machine with a wide selection of coils available for it. Another fine all round detector is the Lobo Supertraq. Both these machines will find the sub-grain gold and have great discriminators on them for coin and relic hunting if that is a concern. The MXT has a nice LCD readout to help in deciding whether or not a target is worth digging. The Lobo is audio only. It all depends what you're used to and like. Regards, RD
