White's DFX metal detector from Regton with Norfolk Wolf

[westpur]

I have used a DFX for several months now. If you have one get the "Digging Deeper with the DFX: Jeff Foster" I have dug up pennies over 12 inches down. I also picked up a 10 inch DD coil and the it simply can not be beat. The keys to any detecting is location location location. But with knowledge from the book this is one hot detector. An recovery speed can be increased to much faster then in this video.

Not an impressive coint program...recovery is as por as the XLT!

IMHO Whites made a mistake shipping the DFX with the factory coins program set at a preamp of 2. The real strength of the DFX is in the tone id. Best tone ID of any detector I have used.

I own a DFX and it's the only machine I use(in the US). You cannot judge what the machine can do, especially on a preset program, by an air test or by burying things in the ground. Items that have been in the ground for a LONG time develope a halo around it and it makes a big difference in how the machine will pick it up. The DFX's preset programs are for beginners, you really have to take the time to learn how to use it for better results. Speaking of results, CHECK OUT MY RELIC HUNTING VIDS!

The stock coin program is set to recognise USA coins among trashy areas and has quite a high discrimination.

I think if he had used coin/jewelry he would have got much more deeper and solid signals from those items with the advantage of it discriminating against the iron. Wind up the preamp and ac sensitivity and you will be digging some VERY deep targets ;P

Come on WOLF, lets see a few vids showing what the DFX is really capable of!!

crestedgenie--- you are so right this machine is a monster if you know how to use it!!! ive used a lot of machines and i tell ya what the dfx is by far the best ive used kinda crazy to figure out at first but learn it and and you have the best thing on the market!!! ps. you need to learn what every aplication means and does and use it accordingly,not for the lazy man or someone without patience. believe me i wanted to wrap it around a tree the first few months of use!wouldnt trad for nothin now

[crestedgenie]

what he dosent tell you is you can ajust the Recovery Speed you can all so add a dd coil and then this machine will out perform an xp power no problem at all, this machine gets 10-12 inches on coins no problem

What do you think about the new DFX 300? I've been thinking about it, what do you say?

[d1g1man]

Hi there. There is NO DIFFERENCE between the DFX 300 and the regular DFX, except that they put on a 12" coil instead of the 9.5" coil and the box has a different paint job/decals.

I think you should wait a few months, there is a totally new machine in the works, and NO it's not the TDI or the 6T.

[d1g1man]

This video is somewhat misleading. He complains that the detector does not do a very good job detecting these coins. Well, thats EXACTLY what the DFX SHOULD be doing.

This a USA detector, and he has it set in the COIN program, which is designed around the signals that USA coins produce, the targets he has chosen look like JUNK to the DFX! If you were to program the VDI numbers into the DFX that match the coins in the area you are detecting, then you would see excellent results.

[metaldetectingguy]

It's exactly what Mr. Lynn said: Pick the right program, and it will work. Pick the wrong one, and it'll struggle.

So you're correct by saying, if you're after other tragets, you have to change programs.

Happy Hunting

I own the DFX and quickly found that the machine is not for those who don't try to learn all it can do. I'd put it against about any machine out there including the minelab explorer se. Nice video even it didn't do any justice for this detector.
