I have two of them and wouldn't part with them. Wife told me to get a new up-to-date detector and get-with-the-times, but I haven't been sold on one yet. Still looking and watching though. If you run across a used one I recommend jumping on it. Keep it as a back-up or for friends. But as you know with the MXT...they aren't light weight.
I own two M6 machines also within "my herd." It has always been in my plans to use them both if and when I get a green, student, wanting to learn the hobby. I would carry one, them the other, no HPs and just go nuts with fast clad and possible jewelry. The M6 is just so easy and rewarding. If a newbie is to get hooked while learning, the M6 will do it IMPO. Owning two of them also gives me comfort just in case one fails.
Oddly, Googling for a "Whites M6 for sale" doesn't return hits for me. Maybe those who own them are like us, they are keeping them.
I used an XLT some 20+ years ago for a while. I spent as much time tweeking than hunting. The M6 just does what it needs to without fussing with settings.
I am leaning towards the apex. Ty for such a detailed reply. I think it checks all the boxes I am looking for. My only concern is at that price point, there are so many other options. I just need to make sure it’s worth it. I do like the headphone and pinpointer syncing together. Again, Ty.
don't know if you have decided on a detector yet but before you decide on the apex you need to go check out some videos on the ace apex like Calabash diggers comparison and Vegas detect videos
watching several videos on you tube was what I did and it became quite apparent in a hurry for me that I would never own a Apex.
watching several videos I narrowed my search down to two detectors for my grandson the two that ended up at the top of my list was the Simplex plus and the Vanquish 540 the Vanquish is a multi frequency detector but not water proof i do not know if it is even rain proof since it comes with a rain cover, the Simplex plus is totally water proof but it is a single frequency detector I ultimately decided to purchase the simplex plus because of it being water proof, and have no regrets in my purchase for my grandson
The price the Simplex plus sets at makes it the best bang for your buck, in today's market, and quite honestly every time my grandson detects with me using the simplex plus it totally amazes me just how great of a detector the Simplex plus truly is so much so that while I am waiting on my pre ordered Legend to arrive I have ordered a second Simplex plus for myself.
Just some food for your thought
Ty. I watched many videos but didn’t see anything negative about the Apex until I saw the ones you recommended. I am now looking into the ones you suggested. The simplex would prob be sufficient if I could change coils. Have you noticed a prob only having the one option?

In the 2006 to 2012 time period I used a Whites Prizm IV then I used it a little less. A few years ago I let a friend borrow it. Big mistake, turns out he pawned my Metal detector and a few other things of mine and a lot of other former friends as well. I never got the Whites back. I have on order a Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro model and I have been watching Youtube extensively on this detector. I am going to have a great time using this. Looking forward to getting back in the game and also getting some weight back off while doing it.
Bummer of a story, but you'll enjoy the 540.
Out of curiosity, did you have no legal recourse against the pawnshop?
I currently own the Minelab Vanquish 540 pro pack and I absolutely love it
