Dr Otek MT-XR Full and Honest Review - Metal Detecting - Beginner Detectorist - Metal Detector 

Thanks for the comment, I have to say I liked it, you need to swing it nice and even across the ground as low as possible and not to fast, make sure you completely pass the coil over the target, I would use All metal to start with but if it's a deep tone (ferrous) leave it. Good luck today and thanks again 🤗

@@rudigginitThanks for the input! I think I'm going to buy one, try along a shallow river bank and maybe the beach in the summer

It will find it if you walk over it, my best advice would be to maybe save and try to get better but better is £300 plus, you need to take things slowly, swing slow and as close to the ground as possible checking every signal from different directions, it's a decent detector to get you going and as you saw it will find stuff, good luck and please get in touch if you need any advice 👍

Hello and just a follow up, if you have a detector that's great if not check out my Nokta FindX Pro videos £158 for the detector, digging tool, headphones and bag a very good bag please have a look these are fully waterproof 👍👍

Nice one, me and the wife both detect so have do all that myself, your right the MT-XR is a good starting out detector to start you off, easy to set up and use so good choice, the Simplex is also a good choice very well built and again not hard to learn, good luck with the hunt 👍

The best place for it to pay for it's self is on the beach, pick ones people go to for the day and always try out where they swim it's amazing how much people lose when swimming, also the beach is very mineralised so knock the sensitivity down till it's quite or bearable all single frequency machines suffer from this. Good luck don't listen to people we can't all go out and buy a Manticore, thanks for watching 👍

Cheers, my advice is swing low and slow don't try to rush if you get a good repeatable signal try it from a different direction if it's still a good 2 way dig it, as all detectors you will dig a lot of rubbish but by picking your targets you will start to get better, also have it in all metal you will hear the rubbish but it will open your detector up. Thanks for the accent comment Im a Yorkshire man 👌

@@rudigginit England? wow, I thought for sure it was Scotland. Cheers, and very nice to meet you!

Mona, thanks to Outlander, I didn’t need subtitles 😅

Yes that's it you have to remember how much they are, I go slow and low and check signals from different directions, good little detector 👍👍

Yea i have to say its a very easy detector to get used to and very easy to learn, it's very light and great value for money and you can find stuff with it just look at the video's on you tube, ive found stuff with one... hope you get some good finds..

Thanks for the comment I'm planning more tests and comparison videos so please keep an eye out for those 👌

Cool, I know the MT-XE is the newer model, I got a great deal on mine at Christmas, I've only used it once but have all sorts of tests and comparison videos, thanks for the comment 👍

It was the machine that found it 👌

I always turn on with the coil just above the ground most of the time or on the ground but I've found no difference with the cheaper detectors my Legend works with zero ground balance it was made to work with zero and I suspect the cheaper one's are the same, I don't know but like I said I haven't found it makes any difference, thanks for the comment 👍

@@rudigginit You are probably right, I just read it in the instructions and in Yorkshire pudding land no two days are the same weather wise, so it's a habit haha! I think if I recall that the Dr Otek ones remember previous settings, so think that is why I got into the habit of doing it. Having said that, I detect an accent with you too haha!

@@rudigginit Oh and yes, the Dr O old pin pointers were good, just ordered the new one, with Amazon discounts worked out at £35 delivered, so going to give that a go, but got two of the older types work great too, also ordered their new long spade, those little ones they supply sometimes instead of trowels are good, but long handled better for those long days you don't want to bend down too much. Also got the smaller yellow handled spade, those mini ones, they retail at over £12 but if keep an eye on them occasionally you can get a ten quid voucher off them, so I got one delivered for less than £2.

Haven't used them much really but any wired headphones will do but going first time isn't good, remember slow and low, good luck 👍

A good one is Dr Otek MT6 Pro last time I looked it was £39.99 there are loads of very cheap ones from £15 or so but won't be waterproof or as good build quality but will work ok and you will find the item but the MT6 Pro is what I'd get, hope this helps and good luck 👍

Great deal 👍 Be interesting to know what you think 👍

@@rudigginit I took it out today for the first time but I don’t have any permissions yet so I had to stick to crown foreshore and the tide was mostly in 🤭 will be doing the rounds of some local farms next weekend to ask permission, especially ones near to the old Dere Street. I’m near County Durham and Binchester so I’m hoping to find something roman at some point during my time detecting in the future :)

Well good luck, remember as low to the ground and slow take your time, when you get a signal try it from different angles if it's the same (Repeatable) dig it up 👍

@@rudigginit thank you for the tips! I’ll be sure to come back and update you if I find anything ❤️

First thing is knock the sensitivity down 1 to four, take the metal out so the first window so it's not all metal, when I have used mine I never dig anything if it isn't a repeatable signal as in you get the bleep both ways you swing and move around the signal to check it from different angles but most important is take your time swing slow and low and learn the machine you will find stuff. Hope this helps good luck 👍🤞

Yes I agree it's aimed at the total beginner, most don't want to pay £100s of pounds when they have nowhere to detect, I found 2 good items in the first 30 mins so it does work, the advice I give is turn down the sensitivity and swing low and very slow checking all signals from different angles, your right there are better machines now the Vanquish, the Ace and the Simplex light are all very well priced and very good machines, thanks for the comment 👍

@@rudigginit I used it low and slow because of the slow recovery, lots of signals that were not repeatable and in discrimination mode it picks up iron as silver and coins on tests, it's my back up but i'll have to dig every repeatable signal because I can't rely on what that the display is telling me. Next time I'm out i'll let someone else use the MT-XR and then go over signals with the Vanquish to double check. Pushing the spec and price up doesn't mean anything if those extra bells and whistles are of inferior quality and don't operate with any consistancy, no wonder Amazon have so many of these sent back, It's like the cheapo pinpointers, about half of them are duff but usually because the coil is sitting too high inside, and I wouldn't spend on the Dr Otek pinpointer at the price they want when I suspect the internals are more than likely out of the same factories as the cheap one's. Decades ago I had a cheap kids detector, no fancy displays back then just two knobs and a built in speaker, yep it worked fine just you got a lot more junk, but at least it gave repeatable signals. I eneded up giving it to a kid and then buried some coins for him to find in the sand just in case he didn't find anything and lost interest lol.

It's around 2.-3 lb Remember the closer you bring your coil to you, the lighter and more comfortable it will feel 👍

@@rudigginit thank you so much for your fast answer

Do you mean using it in water ?? The wife is doing a review on the MT-XE funky colour one and at some point we'll be putting them up against each other including on the beach 👍👍

Hi Mona and thanks for the subb, can I ask what making it stick means ?? We are quite new to RU-vid less than a year so don't know, sorry for been thick but someone else has just said the same 👍

@@rudigginit I played a playlist, liked, and commented to make the sub stick👍until I get chance to watch. Thank you again!!!
