Never tried it on an M6, but I bought one for my DFX. Haven't has a chance to try it out yet, but I will. It's V rated, so maybe someone will give me a V3 to try it on lol

I use it for my XLT, but it doesn't perform right using the sunray probe X-1 pinpointer. Anyone else have that problem?

I have one for my xlt and love it.When I do put it on I have a real tough time taking it off.I just crank up the pre amp a few notches and get greater depth.

I have one on my mxt, makes it a simpler machine to operate by a long shot. Better pinpointing, better seperation of targets, better id, and goes deep as I want to dig.

George, when do you want the V3 to play with, just say the word. :clapping:

SJV, you didn't mean X1, right? I think the XLT takes a XL1.

The only problem I have found with the 5.3 coil on my MXT Pro is that I never want to put the 950 on ( which is also a great coil ). :yes:

I love running that little sweetheart at +3 whenever possible , which is most of the time. :smitten:

I have a 5.3 for my DFX, absolutely love it. Use it mostly around trashy foundation sites where my hunting buddy won't go. Made
some nice finds with it. It will pick up a button at 8.

The 5.3 I used on my DFX was giving me solid hits on 6 dimes and IH cents. Favored it over the 6x10. I'm saying in the field and in my former test plot. I should get a V reated one for my V3i.

Yep, the 5.3 stays on my M6 except in open low target areas. Then I use the 950. I have hunted with the 4x6 coil but never could buy into the DD coils. JMO CG
