DR.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.

At a glance

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.
