From the whole recent production we see on market i find pretty interesting few models, which i probably would like to have on testing and possibly in my collection later.

1) White's MX Sport,
2) Fisher F44
3) Fisher F19

Any personal experiences?
Any opinions?

From what is said on detecting forums, the F19 is very close in performance to it's brothers, the Teknetics G2 and G2+. Good at finding non-ferrous when there's a lot of iron/nails in the ground.

My MXS goes deep, has a very quick recovery speed, and the *audio modulation* is atrocious. Then again, there's also this new potential problem, which means I'm going to do some testing of mine (which has already been sent into White's to update the firmware).

Sheeeeshh!
I kinda noticed something strange at one short moment on first video, but i thought it was my imagination.
And now you showed it pretty clear Willy!
That's a serious issue!
Looks like phase is totally reversed at the middle of detection range?
Could it be the bad coil? Or something with the rest of hardware...
And i was about to say that MX Sport tends to be my favorite from those three...
If you get any feedback from White's; please inform us here, many thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Now you know why i put it on the list here!

Dime at 8", 3:17 on video, 5th coil swing: it shuts up suddenly? Than "chokes" on occasion!?
Quarter at 8", 3:35 on video, 3rd swing: it "chokes" for some reason!?
Not giving always repeatable response, despite it is obvious that target was easily detected just moment ago.
I though it was my imagination due the fact i never held it in hands nor tested it personally.
But now i see there is something seriously wrong there...

Fisher F44 coil shape. Something we have not experimented with here. Looks good for between rocks.

An "egg" coil, i would call it!
Interesting to experiment with!

That's exactly how my homemade IDX and Bandido behave.

Not every swing gives a good tone over on target that's in range. Very annoying missing loads. Need a fix for this. Looking on YouTube I am not the only one.


The 1260-X is completely different if its on range it always beeps.

It seems the same behavior but i think those are separate problems, your diys from MXS.
MXS is obviously having "system" problem with phase processing.
Your diys are probably lacking the gain in channels or at frontend.
No wonder about Bandido, it's the common problem, but i am a bit clueless about IDX!?
Could be the coil at your diys, most probably not that good balance?
