I had a Whites Alaskan Hipmount detector growing up and now about 30 years later have decided to get back into detecting again! I am interested in buying a detector that has great discrimination qualities, decent depth (6"-9"), and has advanced capabilities I can grow into as I advance. I am deciding between MineLabs, Whites and Garret. I have seen the DFX and like what I read. For instance, it there a big difference between the Whites DFX, XLT and the MDX? I am willing to pay the $300-$400 difference from the XLT and the MDX and pay $1,100 for the DFX if the benefits are truly worth the difference. I will be using the unit for coins, rings, etc. I would be using it in California, Portland Oregon area and Seattle area. I would suspect I will also go to areas the will be mine fields of tabs etc,. (school yards, parks, beaches...) Any insight would be great.
