[QUOTE="argyle, post: 132377, member: 1008"] Which model XT18000 do you have Mick, early or late? The early models have a blank face tone dial and shut/down -blank out over severe ironstone outcrop and large targets , they are more sensitive in 60khz and 20khz than the late models,,, .....The late model XT18000's have the white stripe on the face of the tone dial, and have improved digital componartry in them thanks to an American Minelab hired to improve them. The late models do not overload and have less sensitivity in them than early models in the 2 higher frequencies, and a much lower audio and have to run with an Amp .... But they have a beautiful 6.4khz when matched with a 14.5 inch WOT coil and will rock and roll in hot ground and hit every target an SD 2200d will, at any depth. I only ask because if it's an early model with high audio, the little 6" coiltek will be a perfect match in high 60khz. But I wouldn't waste the money should you have a late model, it won't improve sensitivity in the two higher freq's on it. [/QUOTE]
