Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020
If your new to this activity or looking for a new upgrade I would recommend the DR. ÖTEK MT-XR for sure. I’m going to keep it simple and make a list of why I recommend this product with the pros and cons and try my best to list some photos as well!

FIRST THOUGHTS:

-PACKAGING: was outstanding (5.0)

-ASSEMBLY:was very easy and extremely durable materials directions are included for those who can’t figure it out (5.0)

-USER MANUAL: is very detailed and even supplies a Quick Start page in blazing orange paper so no has a excuse to mess up. (5.0)

-WEIGHT: this thing is ridiculously light! (5.0)

-COMFORT: 3 easy settings for forearm and extremely comfortable. Hand grip seems a little soft for life span but extremely comfortable currently (5.0)

-BATTERY: 9v included which is always nice/ as for Battery life is down 1 bar out of 4 on the screen after about 4 hours in it. (Unrated)

-SCREEN: came with protective peal off and is very easy to operate with pictures and well labeled descriptions and settings including a:

-All Metal (to help pick out all those
unwanted metals out of the ground)

-Memory (your choice of metal search)

-Jewel mode (for all those unwanted bottle caps/nails)

-Discrimination mode (which is always helpful)

-Backlight for night detecting which is a major upgrade!

-Headphone jack: so it is capable with any headphones that are comfortable that your used to using with your oldler iPhones. (Not a massive plug like some or any at all)

-Volume control: has 3 different modes which makes it convenient.

-Tones: each category of metal sounds it’s personal tone to indicate you what material is being detected.

-Sensitivity: you have a few settings to adjust the sensitivity.

-Pinpoint (PP) comes in handy but isn’t always the most accurate for me. (My only complaint so far)

Overall screen (4.9)

COIL: WATERPROOF! and has a great reading output. I did a test and we’re finding metals around 7 1/2 inches not buried. And so far the deepest I found buried was around 6 inches down (still great for around $100 machine) as for the pinpoint i’m still going to work with it and see what I can figure out. Still going to give it (5.0) for being waterproof and well built for the price

WARRANTY: 2 years!!! (5.0)

OVERALL: I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product even with the pinpointer off on my device to anyone that is trying to buy a good reliable detector and an amazing price. I literally found 23 items in a hour. You should still have a hand held pinpointer for digging reasons anyway. I’d recommend Dr. Öteks but I haven’t tried there’s but i’m sure it’s up to par after seeing the quality of this product. Excited to save up some money and buy there next level detectors and see what treasures lie beneath! Thanks for the finds Dr. Ötek!

Works great so far had out a few times in old homesteads back in the day. No gold or anything like that but found horse shoes and bullet cases and stuff like that up to 10” down. Does take a bit getting used to but the one for nails works great at letting you know the trash when used to it. I never used one before and so far I’m happy with this as my first one along with the Dr Otek hand wand. The hand wand is for sure one to have along with this detector. Used in water and works great. The pin point feature is nice but not sure it’s me or the unit but like after I use pin point if I lift it up when setting the unit down it keeps beeping not an issue for me at all I just switch back to normal mode and it’s totally fine. Don’t see how if one is looking can go wrong with this unit for the price before one gets one more expensive. I don’t see myself getting one anytime soon because I’m happy with this and the price. Showed up fast and undamaged unlike some of my boxes I get look like they went through a soccer war zone. This was packed nicely and easy to put together along with lightweight still on fist battery it came with and used quite a bit so far but have my rechargeable ones on standby for when it’s needed. Hope this helps I’m not a technical expert or anything like that just guy looking to kill some time here and there when out on the old ranch and out fishing I’ll pack it with me and kinda fun seeing what’s hidden under the dirt. Give it time and you’ll get the hang of it…oh the Instructions were perfect to help get ya on your way. I never used one like I said and reading those for pointers were helpful for me. :)
P.S. the headphones it comes with fit nicely and the sound quality is decent along with lightweight when I do use them. Happy hunting!!

Update 8/2023: Adding another star for great customer service!

DR.ÖTEK followed up with my on my follow-up review below and sent me their MT6 pinpointer for free. I'm impressed at how awesome they've been since my original difficulty with my MT-XR. That pinpointer is great and I have a 5-star review waiting for Amazon's approval for it right now.

Update 4/2023: Bringing the review up from 1 star to 3.

After several months following the posting of my original review (after it became the most popular negative review of the product, catching the manufacturer's attention), DR.ÖTEK reached out to me and offered to send me a replacement unit. I accepted and they shipped me the bare detector, not the kit that I had originally ordered, but that's ok since it didn't cost me anything but my time. Unfortunately by the time I received it and had a chance to put it together, the weather had turned and the ground had begun to freeze for the winter.

I was finally able to give it a try a couple of weeks ago and immediately noticed a difference. Within one hour, my daughter and I unearthed two "treasures" from our back yard, one part of a fancy old brass lamp and the other a copper spout-shaped object that I'd say weighs about 3 ounces and had been tooled. Both of these were buried around 5 inches down. I used the pinpoint mode to help "zero in" on the objects which was helpful, but not terribly accurate. I nearly missed the copper thing until I expanded my dig outward a few inches, so I think rather than the intense ringing being detected in the center of the coil, it was closer to the bottom-left edge of it. If I can repeat that behavior, I'm thinking about marking that point of the coil with some marker paint as the true "center". But I'll probably buy a separate pointer detector too.

Coin tests like I had done previously were much more accurate than with the first detector, so I guess I definitely received a bad one the first time around. I decided to upgrade the review to three stars as I think it's a fair thing to do. I'm still frustrated by the hours of wasted time and my daughters disappointment the first time around. She had fallen in love with the TV show Expedition Unknown and the idea of finding buried treasure which is what led us to this metal detector. Now her excitement has returned.

Original review:

I had high hopes for this detector based on the overall rating based on Amazon reviews, the unit's features (the pinpoint mostly), and the cleanliness and user-friendliness of the display and controls. I thought about being charitable with my review and adding stars for those things, even considered adding one for the digging tool, which while small is actually pretty cool and I think rather well-made. BUT after three hours of frustration with multiple repeatable hits and finding nothing, not even a bottle cap or nail I've decided the DR.ÖTEK deserves ZERO stars. But that may be unfair you might think, not knowing what my settings were or if I was trying to detect around an old iron mine or something. No, it was in my average backyard. Farmland filled in with sandy dirty fill about 120 years ago. I did some fairly detailed testing to see what was wrong with my unit.

First, I tried a few metal objects waving at various distances from the coil with the detector laying on a plastic table about 20" from the ground and far from any metal. It gave some decent results - my gold wedding ring came in at about 55-70 and was detectable at about 5 inches. Not great but not terrible. This was done at the default sensitivity level of 3. Interesting results with coins and a hefty chunk of silver I have that is about 1/4" thick and roughly the size and shape of a men's western belt buckle. The coins (current US mint pocket change) gave very sporadic results. Sometimes I had to almost brush the coil with a quarter to make the detector respond (ALL METAL mode) and it would regularly bounce all over the scale - 05 to 90+ for something like a penny or quarter. The heavy silver was surprisingly low on the scale - ringing in between 50 and 85, but never in the 90s.

I could go on forever with the tests I did - all different materials, every sensitivity setting. But the best test was one my 9 year old came up with. She buried an aluminum arcade token (that we'd been testing with previously as well - I think about the size of a quarter, but thicker) about 2 inches deep in one of five depressions in my yard I'd recently filled in with soil. The game was that I had to detect which spot she'd buried the token in. She had roughed them all up so it was hard to tell which had the buried treasure. Well, I lost the game. DR.ÖTEK failed to detect the token. 2 inches down. We then tried the same test with a nickel and a quarter, both buried at about 3 inches. I got hits on them, but all over the place - 02, 50, 90 etc. Sometimes repeatable, sometimes not. Either way, I'd never try to dig those spots. So we'd miss everything.

The ONE use I think this DR.ÖTEK has is to locate a recently dropped piece of jewelry or something. Anything just out of eyesight, hidden by blades of grass. But then, there are much CHEAPER detectors available that I'm sure would do that just as well. I'm contemplating doing a video review of how bad this thing is before I return it and buy either a Fisher, Minelab, or Garrett metal detector.
