DX-1 TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Folks,

I have been using a White's DFX for six months. I have been having good luck with this MT but there was one area that I really needed to improve upon. It is pinpointing and locating targets for retrieval. My previous technique was to pinpoint using the DFX, then cut a flap in the sod and use my Bullseye pointer to locate the target. A pretty standard technique. Fairly time consuming but it worked. Several months ago I purchased a DD1400 coil which served to drive the pinpointing issue even further to the front burner.

Last week I took the step of purchasing a DX1 probe. I have to say that this purchase was, hands down, my best accessory purchase to date. I have three coils for my DFX, the 4x6, 9.5 and 1400. Using the DFX to pinpoint with the 4x6 and 9.5 coils works reasonably well, typically the target can be located to within a few inches. Attempting to pinpoint with the 1400 is another story. Using this coil targeting can be problematic. I have, on many occasions, pinpointed to within what I thought was a few inches only to dig a hole and find the target several inches off to the side of the hole.

Now enter the DX1. Makes no difference what coil I have attached to the DFX. Just use the DFX to zero in to close proximity. Switch over to the DX1 and pinpoint the target to within an inch. The rest is history. Since using the DX1 I have yet to dig a hole in the conventional sense. You may be wondering, with only a weeks use, how I can provide such a strong testimonial. Well its easy, I used a Bullseye for 6 months and it worked well, so I thought. As soon as I installed the DX1 and ran it across my test plot, I immediately realized this device was special. Out in the field, the first coin I located and pinpointed with the DX1, I was able to hit with a probe. This proved to be the norm for all coins that were within 2 inches or so of the surface. For deeper coins I typically only had to cut a slit in the sod in order to get the probe tip down just enough to pick up a very weak signal. As long as the DX1 had any signal what so ever, finding the coin (and more than a few pull tabs) was a piece of cake. Am I enthusiastic with the capability of the DX1? You bet I am.

Keep in mind that the DX1 is directly connected to the MT and all signals it generates are heard over the headphones. All metal mode as well as discriminate mode. It is this integration that makes the DX1 such a very valuable tool.

Highly recommended. Two thumbs, way up.

Re: DX1 gets two thumbs, way up  Posted by: TwoDogsBob (67.139.103.66) Date: November 22, 2005 08:02AM Could not agree more. Was out hunting a football field and I do not like digging plugs to find out what I've got. With the DX1 on my MXT it's easy to get down to an inch then use a brass probe. A slit with a screwdriver and up pops the coin with little or no damage to the grass. Saves time in searching and also is a responsible way to search public property.. My Bullseye has been retired to finding stray shot in quail and ducks, saves the teeth... I just purchased an MXT for my wife who started going out with me and is now hooked on detecting so will be putting a DX1 on her detector as well.. Got a great product there Ralph... Bob Re: DX-1 Post From: TwoDogsBob To: Ralph Sun Ray Date: 11/23/2005 08:07AM No problem Ralph. Few times in my life have I been more satisfied with a product than yours. Also as I stated in my comment, we as metal detectorists have a responsibility to leave the area that we are searching in just as good a shape, if not cleaner, than we found it. I don't believe in cutting plugs out of lawns in public areas, parks, football fields, whatever, if the piece is so deep I need to do that I leave it. With the DX1, with it's ability to search deeper and greatly reduce the area that needs to be disturbed, I can find more and disturb less.. Thanks again Ralph Will be ordering another DX1 for my wife's machine soon. Bob

 DX-1 very useful in target recovery

I just wanted to thank Sunray for the DX-1 probe.  I use it almost exclusively after I open up a hole.  The probe sure helped me locate the half dollar pictured in the attachment.
