What is the best decent portable metal detector? Not best, not cheapest. Looking for meteorites, old coins, etc.

I was going to say the White's XLT, but it's been discontinued. Although I have no experience with it's replacement, the MXT E-Series Metal Detector (http://whiteselectronics.com/mxt.html), we have successfully used a number of XLTs over the years to help find non-ferrous unexploded ordnance. The XLT had a good combination of reliability, durability, and reparability. Based on the similar design, I hope the MXT offers similar traits.

Cognosyeti, at $800 is the MXT considered a midline, low-end, or top-line model?
