Best of the Best DFX

by Joseph Mantlo in springfield tennessee -

I have had my DFX for 15 years, and it is dependable - never once gave me any problem. I use it all the time, in all conditions, and put it through my test, and it came out outstanding. This is the best metal detector Whites made. Shame they quit making this particular one. 5 stars is too low, it should be a 10 star.

Great Beginner and Pro Metal Detector All Around detector

by Loren K in virginia -

I have two DFX detectors. I use a 6x10 inches coil on most of my outings. I did not like the original coil that it came with. I consider the DFX as several detectors in one. I used to belong to a club who had different units, and I outperformed them. It takes time to get to know the machine. To do so, listen to what it is telling you, and, at first, dig up all hits. In the beginning, select an area that has little trash like a school ground then work your way up. With the DFX, I have found a wide range of targets: from cannon balls to expensive gold rings. I have never come home with nothing and never got skunked. Detecting is like being a detective. Study the area. Be respectful, be cautious about needles, glass, electrical wires. Always look around and keep an eye out for dogs and people, gangs, etc. Some people can be a problem and get nasty towards you detecting. I always separated good from trash, and do not show the good stuff to strangers. Enjoy your hobby and take others with you like a grand kid to spark their enthusiasm.

Ease-of-use and accuracy is fantastic! 160 gold rings, 350 silver rings and too much money to count!

Fantastic machine

by Matt B in Westmoreland county, PA -

I found a DFX at a local pawn shop, was listed for $350, but was able to talk them down to $100! I couldn't pass it up. I use it for a back up machine. I've only taken it out about 5 times, but have found some great stuff. Including an 1854 seated half dime, several V nickels, Indian Head cents and a lot more. It's very accurate with Target ID and depth. Definitely a fun machine, would recommend for a backup detector for sure. People complain about the depth, but I have found smaller coins up to 7.5 inches. A lot of options, but I usually run the stock "Coin" and "Jewelry" modes and modify the settings from there.

AWESOME

by Kevin Strahan in Natchez,Ms -

I have NEVER found soooo many coins with a detector in my life. This thing is a coin magnet and the VDI's on the coins are accurate.

Poor Depth

by Bill in Michigan -

Having had 9 different detectors, I have a good idea how they operate. I found the DFX to be far inferior for the price in its depth capacity. I had $200 detectors go deeper than the DFX. Good Pinpoint and depth indicator, but poor depth. I traded it for a Minelab and could not be happier with everything but the depth meeter. Be careful! Also, you need an engineering degree to program this detector. Good Luck.

Coin Monster!

by Frank Gooch in Carmel .NY -

Great machine for finding coins! If you do some minor tweaking of the preset coin mode, such as Preamp, AC, DC, and VDI Sensitivities, and Sweep Speed, this detector works well. Also using tone ID is great for identifying different coins. I have found thousands of coins with the DFX over the last 6 years. A little hard to get started and learn the ins and outs of this machine, but once you get the hang of it, you will love it!
