1 / 7DR.ÖTEK MTXE AIR Metal Detector, 6 Modes
DR.ÖTEK MTXE AIR is a battery-powered metal detector with six detection modes, a waterproof search coil and an adjustable stem. Its listed 980-gram weight and beginner-oriented LCD controls may suit family outings, while the advertised depth and accuracy figures are manufacturer claims rather than independently verified results.

- The manufacturer describes the coil as IP68 waterproof. That claim applies to the coil, not necessarily the whole detector.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about coil size: the feature text says 9.8 inches while the specifications list 24.89 centimetres. The 39.2–53.1-inch adjustment range and 53.1-inch extended length are feature claims, while the listed dimensions are 135L x 25W x 25H centimetres. Treat the claimed 10-inch coin-target depth and up-to-40% accuracy improvement as unconfirmed manufacturer claims, not guaranteed results. Waterproofing is specified for the coil only.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Beginners seeking a detector with multiple detection and terrain modes.
- Families looking for a detector with a claimed adjustable stem for different user heights.
- Buyers who want an LCD with claimed depth, target ID and sensitivity information.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need independently verified detection depth or accuracy figures.
- Anyone planning to submerge the whole detector based only on the coil's waterproof claim.

Customer feedback describes the detector as beginner-friendly and easy to use, with favourable impressions of target and depth indication, low weight, durability and value. These reports may matter to casual users prioritising straightforward handling, but they do not verify the listing's depth or accuracy claims. Aggregate ratings lean positive, though a smaller share are lower-star ratings, so experiences are not uniform.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback highlights ease of use and suitability for beginners.
- Reported positives include lightweight handling, durability and target or depth indication.
