If the coil is hovered over a target the response will cease. All-Metal mode is a non-discrimination mode, but still requires motion to respond because it utilizes a Self-Adjusting Page 10 To see complete details or to purchase the White's MX5 Metal Detector, visit: http://www.metaldetector.com/whites-mx5-metal-detector... -

Depth, the probability decreases with depth. An excellent approach is to work with test targets (especially planted at dif- ferent depths) to get familiar with target responses.

Page 19: Sweep Methods
Finally, sweep speed affects target response and depth. Some detectors are designed for an exceptionally slow sweep speed, some need a fast sweep. The MX5 works best at a moder- ate rate of about 3 feet per second. Somewhat slower or some- what faster is fine, but whipping the coil at a fast rate is a good way to miss deeper targets. -
