DR.ÖTEKMetal Detector for Adults Professional, Lightweight, Pinpoint & Exclusive Memory Mode, Higher Accuracy, IP68 Waterproof Coil, Bigger Backlit LCD Display, New Advanced DSP Chip

I’ve always wanted to try metal detecting and after buying the MT-XR I was not disappointed. The build quality for the price is great, The display screen is very easy to navigate and works great, it’s lightweight and the accessories you get with the detector itself are of a high quality, I was surprised how good the headphones were and the digger is fantastic. Within 10 minutes of using it, I found a silver brooch in our back garden and have definitely got the bug now!!The only thing I didn’t order which I have done now is a Dr Otek Pin pointer. I know I could’ve saved myself a lot of time finding the object in the hole if I had had one, although the pin pointer on the metal detector definitely helps you to locate the item easier on its own. It’s being delivered tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to using that and will leave a review as well, looking at the other reviews, it also looks like a great piece of kit for the price. I bought this after going onto Google and asking Google what the best metal detectors were to buy in 2024 and this came in third behind much more expensive pieces of equipment but the ratings in each category were 9.9 across the board.Very impressed all round and I’m really looking forward to finding some more buried goods!!10/10

Ok.... So.... I have never owned a metal detector before and have always been a little skeptical about how accurate they can be with differentiating metals and producing accurate readings. I have to say the unit itself is extremely professional looking and more importantly, very light and comfortable. I have found the operation of it intuitive and self explanatory. The display is good, easy to read, backlit, and doesn't look like a toy, yet does tell you what you need to know. The depth guage is clear and the discrimination categories seem to be accurate. I have tested the categorisation of metal and the targeted metal mode with a known precious metal and against iron junk with perfect results. You may see some other comments here about detection speed which I have found is just a case of understanding the science behind how it works. The unit works on change of magnetic field, therefore it needs to sweep to see a change. It can seem like the unit lags a little with detection but what I have observed is that the trailing edge of the coil on each sweep is when you will hear the indication. This is actually a benefit from my understanding as it enables me to make X and y sweeps of a target. This in turn really accurately pinpoints visually using the trailing edge as a visual reference. This would be harder to do if the centre of the coil was where the audible indication was actioned. The pinpoint mode works really, really well. I would advise making circle shapes at height from the target as if measuring around the top of a beach ball on the ground. This makes the coil measure at the edge of the detection sphere and really helps identify the sweet spot at dead centre before you close in.I have done my first attempts at finding treasure in my back garden as most people do, and within minutes had my first 3 finds. I honestly couldn't believe how clear the positioning was and how easy it was to confidently dig a hole certain something was to be found! I went on to notice some perceived false positives throughout a single sweep and started think false positive deltas had crept in and this was the compromise on not spending twice as much on a known unit. However. I was wrong. What in actual fact was going on was the sheer amount of junk under my lawn!! Old nails. Ring pulls, wire fencing, you name it... All manner of junk. Frustratingly I need to dig up all that nonsense before I can be entirely certain the elusive gold coin isn't being hidden in among all the noise!! I did get a little excited when I used discrimination mode and eliminated the 2 lower categories (iron junk) and got a hit.... Woo hoo.... Ring pull circa ,1980's... Haha.... Still... Proves that function works....You know what.... Overall I really have nothing bad to say about this machine at all, although I recommend using headphones with an online volume so you can Lower the amplitude in analogue for comfort. I honestly believe this machine could suffice the needs of most detectorists and hold its own up against much more expensive kit. Well done Dr Otek. Top marks.

I have never owned a metal detector before and was debating whether to go for this or the Garrett 250. At the time of looking, the Garrett was retailing at £185, whereas the MT-XR was £130. I understand the MT-XR has previously been as low as £100, so I wondered whether many of the positive reviews considered it good value at this price rather than what I paid.In the end, I made the decision to purchase the (cheaper) MT-XR because the video reviews I watched suggested it was of similar build & quality to the Garrett 250.The detector arrived very quickly via Prime. The box was surprisingly compact and lightweight. I have attached a photo of the contents. Assembly only took one pair of hands, no tools and about 10 minutes. The instructions are very easy to follow, although there are some errors in spelling & grammar - I understand it was produced in China and doesn't seem to have been proof-read, despite appearing to target a mainly American market. I say this because the display, like the Garrett, tells you what type of coin you are likely to have found (all American denominations). The user manual does suggest what these might be if you are detecting English coins.The user manual covers the various different modes on the detector, what the signals mean, how to discriminate against certain metals, how to use the built in pinpointer etc. I have deducted one star from the product review because the package contained a card detailing information to validate the 2 year warranty. I navigated to the website on the card and the link was broken. My detector is therefore not currently under warranty.The detector is incredibly lightweight and really easy to swing. I now understand what many reviews meant when they mentioned this. I haven't used it for hours on end, but I imagine this wouldn't leave your arm or shoulder feeling sore. The hand grip and support is good and the height of the detector can be adjusted to cater for all sizes (no aching backs!)The only thing that surprised me with the detector was the number of plastic components. This wasn't evident in the images of it. The head appears to be plastic, as do many of the sections that you tighten. The main lengths making up the detector are a lightweight metal. As I say, I haven't owned detectors before so this may be completely normal, particularly for one at the lower end of the price range. Whether this will prove to be durable or not, time will tell.I tested the detector using various metals including nails, assorted coins and keys. If you do not use headphones, the detector is quite loud, even on the quietest setting. I found the quietest setting when using noise-cancelling headphones to be just fine. The audio jack is the same as you would find on a mobile phone and is just beneath the control unit. The control unit is simple to follow and I understand it has a backlight, although I haven't found the need to use this yet.Within about an hour of using the detector on a small section of land in the back garden (approximately 6m2), I found a number of items - nothing of value, mind you! The detector was useful in pointing out the type of metal it was likely to be and the approximate depth. The built in pin pointer was very intuitive and helped to find the precise location of the metal. I think I will probably look to get a handheld pinpointer too though - once the hole is dug, it would be far simpler to scan the turf/soil that has been dug out and the hole with the pinpointer rather than reach for the detector again and use the pinpointer function on this.All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase at this stage. I now just need to gain permissions to use it on some open farms/green spaces, which is proving difficult to attain.Edit 28/04: The warranty webpage is now working again and I have managed to validate this. I have now used the detector on a slightly larger area of land and found a number of metallic objects including modern coins, kids toys, lead piping and agricultural metal. There were a few instances where signals were strong and repeated. The pinpointer honed in on these and told me there were metals at 2", 4" and 6" depths. I proceeded to dig holes on a few occasions, going as deep as 10". The detector would then pick up no signal in the hole and no signal of the material removed from the hole. This has led me to question the device and how reliable it is. These aren't the odd bleeps but repeated signals in the 80s and 90s.

Very easy to put together and Very Light to hold onto. First time using it on the rocky ocean side beach it went off everywhere finding anything metal. Metal Detector works Great and seems to find everything in its path. Would recommend to everyone

Heres just some of what I think it does well. Full disclosure Im just a regular dude who has only owned one other cheapo before this. Its super easy to put together, super easy to read, super easy to operate, runs off 1 battery. I replaced the original battery after a solid 10 to 12 hours swinging. Second is staying strong. The battery indicator tells me so. A nice feature. The pin pointer is spectacular to those like me who have never had that option before. And because the price is so reasonable I was able to save up for a Garrot Carrot a week later and the two of them working together is true harmony. Its much lighter then my old prospector and adjusted to fit my arm and swing very well. Im average 5 10 ish. Having the back light for the screen actually got me to finish a session at dusk when I wasnt leaving until I found that darn dime. I knew it was a dime because thats what it told me it would be. The numbering and chart on screen is tremendous again for those who never had it before. What continues to blow my mind is when it picks up coins in a hole shared by a nail or two. Thats impressive to me. Discriminating options for targets, the memory setting works. Lots of good if not great with this machine and tops for the price.The bad is petty in my opinion but the headphones are garbage and only the left ear works. But having a headphone option alone outweighs that complaint. NAILS. It loves them even when the iron is muted. Some larger nails and iron are registering as coin if they are close to the surface. I can see that being an issue if Im scouring the beaches but since Im concentrating on woods and colonial relics, I dig everything.Its loud even with the three volume settings at its lowest. I use the headphones so again for me its a non issue. Having 3 volume options is still pretty sweet. Back lighting will drain power fast and I havent tried the coil submerged yet but for the price I couldnt find anything on the market that compared and after hours of research put in I am glad that the Dr. is my next step up in the world of detecting. My buddy was pretty impressed with mine and ordered one for himself. Its his first and I cant wait for the first day when we bet $5 on who finds the coolest relic! If this is your first detector or you want something more detailed then a four bar 4 sound alert, this detector wont let you down. Quite the opposite for me. I love more each hunt.
