Subject: Nuggetshooting in MXT Relic mode? - Sure
In reply to: Randy Seden 's message, "MXT in Relic mode for nuggetshooting?" on 23:41:06 04/01/03 Tue

Randy:
Some folks do prospect with the MXT in relic mode as the two tone system is easy to use. You do loose a slight amount of depth, and/or slight sensitivity to small nuggets, but the loss seems to me pretty slight.
Getting an ID for iron is fairly reliable in relic mode, but the VDI does not tell any difference between lead or gold - in spite of what the possible target ID might be saying. You can get gold nuggets with the same VDI numbers as you might for lead shot, bullet casings or bullets. The smallest and deepest gold will not produce any VDI score at all (as the max detectable depth is slightly deeper than the depth the ID system will work).
One of the things you can do to try to get the best of all worlds is to switch modes. One can hunt in prospect, then when an interesting target is found, switch modes and see what the other modes say about the target before digging. The coin/jewelry and Relic modes also offer VCO pinpointing which is handy if your nugget is large enough to respond to the VCO mode.
The MXT is one fine unit.
Chris
