MX5 - Great all around VDI Machine
by Canadian Guy in Saskatchewan, Canada -
I regret selling the MX5. I had too many VDI machines, and one had to go to pay the tax man. While I had it, I found a ton of silver, gold and relics. It is exceptionally easy to use and easily identifies targets accurately down to the 10-12 inch range. The stock 9 inch spider coil is very good. For trashier sites the 10 inch elliptical DD is very good. The round 5 inch concentric coil is an amazing trash hunter and is very deep for such a small coil. You can not go wrong picking up a good used MX5.
