So first of all I will start off saying this is very, very light to carry which is a major plus b/c my husband and I both suffer from back and neck surgeries. When you are scanning across the ground it will light up and the numbers will increase telling you what you have found. The headphones correspond by beeping in your ear which will tell you to look at the monitor and the number on the monitor will tell u if u have found a coin or whatever it is you have found. It came with a heavy duty hand shovel to dig with and on the back of the shovel it is measured in inches so u can see how far u had to dig to get to your buried treasure! It also came with a bag (heavy duty nylon, zip up) to keep your treasures in while your excavating. It comes with an Allen wrench to put together or take apart and takes less than 10 minutes to put together, this way you can store it in the bag for easier carrying or you can just leave it in tact....your choice! I can't wait for warmer weather!! It was definitely worth the money and it is exactly as described and better! Enjoy!

Works well as far as I know. It was a Christmas gift so I will do a update when it is used. It looks very sturdy, built well, easy to handle.

It is so useful! It can quickly screen out metal items in the recycling of waste items. It has strong recognition ability and can distinguish different types of metals. It is strong and durable, resistant to falling and shock. It greatly improves the recycling efficiency and reduces costs. I really appreciate this product, which brings convenience to my work!

So close. It has a well thought out screen that is easy to read and understand. The pin pointer feature has saved me from unnecessary digging and it's light as a feather without giving up strength.The only complaint is the carrying bag. It's so cheaply made that the zipper broke after the 2nd zip, the material is flimsy and it's already coming apart at the seams. And maybe add a pocket or 2 to store things like extra batteries and tools.But thank you for the awesome metal detector.A.

Update 8/2023: Adding another star for great customer service!DR.ÖTEK followed up with my on my follow-up review below and sent me their MT6 pinpointer for free. I'm impressed at how awesome they've been since my original difficulty with my MT-XR. That pinpointer is great and I have a 5-star review waiting for Amazon's approval for it right now.Update 4/2023: Bringing the review up from 1 star to 3.After several months following the posting of my original review (after it became the most popular negative review of the product, catching the manufacturer's attention), DR.ÖTEK reached out to me and offered to send me a replacement unit. I accepted and they shipped me the bare detector, not the kit that I had originally ordered, but that's ok since it didn't cost me anything but my time. Unfortunately by the time I received it and had a chance to put it together, the weather had turned and the ground had begun to freeze for the winter.I was finally able to give it a try a couple of weeks ago and immediately noticed a difference. Within one hour, my daughter and I unearthed two "treasures" from our back yard, one part of a fancy old brass lamp and the other a copper spout-shaped object that I'd say weighs about 3 ounces and had been tooled. Both of these were buried around 5 inches down. I used the pinpoint mode to help "zero in" on the objects which was helpful, but not terribly accurate. I nearly missed the copper thing until I expanded my dig outward a few inches, so I think rather than the intense ringing being detected in the center of the coil, it was closer to the bottom-left edge of it. If I can repeat that behavior, I'm thinking about marking that point of the coil with some marker paint as the true "center". But I'll probably buy a separate pointer detector too.Coin tests like I had done previously were much more accurate than with the first detector, so I guess I definitely received a bad one the first time around. I decided to upgrade the review to three stars as I think it's a fair thing to do. I'm still frustrated by the hours of wasted time and my daughters disappointment the first time around. She had fallen in love with the TV show Expedition Unknown and the idea of finding buried treasure which is what led us to this metal detector. Now her excitement has returned.Original review:I had high hopes for this detector based on the overall rating based on Amazon reviews, the unit's features (the pinpoint mostly), and the cleanliness and user-friendliness of the display and controls. I thought about being charitable with my review and adding stars for those things, even considered adding one for the digging tool, which while small is actually pretty cool and I think rather well-made. BUT after three hours of frustration with multiple repeatable hits and finding nothing, not even a bottle cap or nail I've decided the DR.ÖTEK deserves ZERO stars. But that may be unfair you might think, not knowing what my settings were or if I was trying to detect around an old iron mine or something. No, it was in my average backyard. Farmland filled in with sandy dirty fill about 120 years ago. I did some fairly detailed testing to see what was wrong with my unit.First, I tried a few metal objects waving at various distances from the coil with the detector laying on a plastic table about 20" from the ground and far from any metal. It gave some decent results - my gold wedding ring came in at about 55-70 and was detectable at about 5 inches. Not great but not terrible. This was done at the default sensitivity level of 3. Interesting results with coins and a hefty chunk of silver I have that is about 1/4" thick and roughly the size and shape of a men's western belt buckle. The coins (current US mint pocket change) gave very sporadic results. Sometimes I had to almost brush the coil with a quarter to make the detector respond (ALL METAL mode) and it would regularly bounce all over the scale - 05 to 90+ for something like a penny or quarter. The heavy silver was surprisingly low on the scale - ringing in between 50 and 85, but never in the 90s.I could go on forever with the tests I did - all different materials, every sensitivity setting. But the best test was one my 9 year old came up with. She buried an aluminum arcade token (that we'd been testing with previously as well - I think about the size of a quarter, but thicker) about 2 inches deep in one of five depressions in my yard I'd recently filled in with soil. The game was that I had to detect which spot she'd buried the token in. She had roughed them all up so it was hard to tell which had the buried treasure. Well, I lost the game. DR.ÖTEK failed to detect the token. 2 inches down. We then tried the same test with a nickel and a quarter, both buried at about 3 inches. I got hits on them, but all over the place - 02, 50, 90 etc. Sometimes repeatable, sometimes not. Either way, I'd never try to dig those spots. So we'd miss everything.The ONE use I think this DR.ÖTEK has is to locate a recently dropped piece of jewelry or something. Anything just out of eyesight, hidden by blades of grass. But then, there are much CHEAPER detectors available that I'm sure would do that just as well. I'm contemplating doing a video review of how bad this thing is before I return it and buy either a Fisher, Minelab, or Garrett metal detector.
