I tested out this new detector today from Wildgame Innovations. it was called the Swamp Series MX200 Ground EFX Metal Detector. Well, I did not have high expectations as I'm a firm believer in that you get what you pay for and this was a sub 200 dollar model.
saw that work well on any detector, kind of like taping a coin to the bottom of your buddies coil as a practical joke.). The grip is hard plastic and not comfortable at all. The screen is mono gray scale and hard to see. The programming levels leave a lot to be desired as it is basic at it's core functionality.
The Pros Its sensitivity was not to bad at its highest level I was digging targets at 5 to 7 inches down. The air test was pretty good and I got a solid 10 inches on it and it did identify basic coins. The back light was blue and made the readings pretty easy on the The Cons eyes. The over all design was pretty cool The headphones plug into the side of the as you can see in the picture. The Orange handle rather than the rear.

can notch out iron but, they still came through as quarters anyway. The unit works ok on the sand as a coin finder for the beginner and that's where this unit will shine. Remember your first detector probably was on par with this one as an advanced radio shack style unit. On the plus side it can help you find your way back home should you get lost. I would not recommend this to Intermediate or advance users, strictly for beginners.
I will place this detector at 1.5 stars out of 5. Jessie MrMetalDetector MrMetalDetector@aol.com Nor’Easters Metal Detecting Club
