White’s MXT All Pro metal detector combines both new features and technology with the well known performance of the MXT line. It has a new keypad, very clear backlit lcd screen and ground grab settings lock. It can be used to find relics, jewelry or coins. It does weigh 6.42 pounds and needs 8 AA batteries to operate but you get a lot of versatility in return.
It is said that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, so how would you know that this is your ideal metal detector? Well, ideally this metal detector was designed for enthusiasts in the treasure hunting niche. You must have some prior knowledge on metal hunting in order to go for this device. Its price is a great factor that will deter most inexperienced hunters or people who are going relic, gold, or jewelry hunting just for the sake of it.
Its weight is another factor that you should put into perspective while evaluating whether the White Pro metal detector is your gadget. It weighs approximately 4.2 lb. which translates to almost 2kgs. For some, this might be too heavy considering that they will have to carry the device for longer distances in order to have the ideal hunt, but for some it is a light weight to carry considering that it will pay off.
So, if the White’s Whites MXT is your metal detector of choice, let’s take a dive into its features.
Whites is a family-owned American electronic company based in Oregon and has a second facility in Inverness, Scotland that serves Europe and Asia. The Whites MXT metal detector is essentially a revolution in the area of metal detecting. If you have heard of the Whites Company before, you would know that they offer some of the best quality equipment. The Pro metal detector does not fall short of the quality they offer. It is well-built and the features on this product do not run short of praise. From the keypad—the backlit display, Ground Grab settings, and the response plus frequency is just superb.
The variety of treasure you could harvest with this gadget is also phenomenal; it is fitted with three programs that target specific treasures or metals at certain frequencies. The tone and audio frequencies will help expedite the hunting process for relics, gold, or jewelry.
The Whites MXT metal detector is arguably a top contender among the metal detectors used by intermediate as well as seasoned hunters. The knob filled handle, the ultimate build material, as well as the overall appearance are impressive and appropriately sophisticated for a serious hunter.
It features one metal that has three separate modes of operation that are easily switched by toggling between prospecting, coin and jewelry, or relic depending on your hunt cravings. For each search mode, there are optical search and assessment modes on the knobs as well as the Mixed Mode Audio, Disc Notch, or the VCO.
When it comes to its multi functionality, it is one of the detectors in the market that is consistently able to find gold nuggets with ease. Considering the fact that most metal detectors have a hard time when it comes to soil that is mineralized, gold and relic hunting becomes very simple with the MXT. Once you understand the language and you are conversant with the device, it all comes down easily.

The top positive review was this one :
If you are looking at this detector as your next detector then you already know White’s reputation for building good detectors, and this is another one. But there are a few shortcomings that potential buyers should know about. First and foremost is that this detector is not weatherproof at all. There have been many days I’ve had to leave it at home because of possible rain in the forecast even thought it would have been my preferred detector to use. The detector does not come with headphones but those are easily obtained. But when you plug them in, you will find you need to unplug them every time you need to get into the battery compartment. Another problem area is the control knobs. Once you buy your headphones you will soon discover that when you bend over to recover a target, the cord for the headphones will brush the control knobs, sometimes moving them off of the settings you have selected. And the cord will sometimes even move the two toggle switches. These are shortcomings that could have easily been foreseen and prevented by the White’s engineers. It is very irritating to have to be constantly monitoring your control settings instead of focusing on what the detector is telling you. When it gives you silence, you should start looking around for a bad setting. On the flip side, this detector has an easy learning curve which is a real plus. I think I probably would have been just as happy with a MXT from this manufacturer..
