MPX digital metal detector

[chizm]

Greetings everyone:
I'm a newbie to MD, and also wanted to say unbelievable forum! And a thank you to Carl for access.

As the title suggests I purchased a MPX digital kellco, and am haveing an awful time with this MD, called tech support, and really not much help,
I have a 2 gold rings, for testing and the thing barely reads the rings as gold, I did find a older screw top bottle cap in the yard at abut 12 " deep,
good depth but very erratic, Did all kinds of tests using the sensitivity adjustment as well. Kind of confused.
Perhaps someone here has some good knowledge on this MD. Please let me know or direct me to a good link.

Another item, I just bought a Titan 9000 pro, awaiting delivery. And if someone has any tutorial guides for that MD, would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks all!
have a happy and safe Holiday!

Unfortunately the MPX is a poor quality China-made detector. Probably not much to help you with there. I think the Titan is a version of the Bounty Hunter Time Ranger which is a good design. I used to have a Time Ranger and was fairly impressed with it.

Hi Carl;
Yes just found that out, it has a 4 and 8-inch coil, pinpointer and a bag, do you know of any tutorial links or any good tips for this detector
also looking at the cobra beach magnet, waterproof, so I can try some beach water MD.
thanks for the help
this forum is AWESOME, GREAT INFO !
thanks

cobra beach magnet is a copy of fisher 1266 or 1280 schematically. good device but very poor pots leaking water killing all comfort to hunt.

PS. i see you try advert chinese... LOL!

KT is right, the Cobra is a leak magnet, I worked on one a long time ago. I wouldn't take it in the water. In general, I recommend avoiding those Kellyco specials like MPX and Cobra, they're pretty junky detectors.

On the Titan, just look around for info on the Time Ranger, which has been around forever.

The titan 9000 arrived today, going over all the instructions, appreciate it.
thanks alot!

Finally they put screws visible over the sticker, so it would be easy to open it and maintain it if needed.
Good decision!
Had enough troubles with F2,F4 and lookalikes with "hidden" screws behind the sticker!
Titan 9000 looks promising!

reminding me fisher gold strike concept.

Great info.Thanks

Lucky I didn’t buy one.

Kellyco was offering the MPX on special for $50.US

I would buy it if they didn’t want $389.76 US for shipping the Melbourne Australia

thanks alot!

what you see there are needed two 9V batteries again like all line of BHunter?

Hi
yes it has a dual battery , looks just like the pictured MD, also I installed regular 9 volt batteries and not alkaline, it fired right up then the battery level died, getting new batteries today!

[chizm]

Well they just sold out of everything, have one and may sell it, check what shipping is from here to there, and see if you can purchase the shipping from there, send a pre-paid label email, may be cheaper, an idea to kick around, but not sure if I want to sell it yet,
thanks

On the MPX,
was using regular batteries and not alkaline, so the test is really erroneous, will retest as soon as
I get proper batteries, talked to someone at another forum he had the exact problem with cheap $ store batteries and was fine after installing alkalines?

so you will see how i will mod BH to li-ion batt and can also mod your titan.

Thanks Carl,
your right, in the manual it refers to the time ranger , and everything looks the same, clone I guess, hope it performs as well !
