Preparation for Water Hunting
The MX Sport is waterproof to a depth of 10 feet with
proper preparation. Before submerging the detector,
doublecheck the following.
1. The loop cable should be firmly tightened.
2. The headphone cable, headphone adapter, or head-
phone connect cap should be firmly tightened.
3. The battery compartment cap should be firmly
tightened. The hash marks on the battery cap and
the battery compartment will line up when the seal is
properly tightened.
Proper Care
As tough as your White's metal detector is, it is a sophisticated electronic device
that requires reasonable common sense care similar to all electronic devices.
•
Store in a warm, dry area with batteries removed
•
Avoid harsh impacts
•
Do not store in your car's trunk during winter and/or summer extremes
•
Do not store in direct sunlight
Searching
Sweep the search coil smoothly and evenly from side to side, as if mopping a floor,
about 2 seconds per pass, overlapping each pass 50%. Keep the search coil as
near to the ground as possible, throughout every sweep. By placing junk and good
targets on top of the ground and sweeping the search coil past them, you can
see the ideal sweep speed that enhances target detection and identification. If the
search coil is swept too slowly, detection doesn't happen or discrimination isn't
clearly recognizable. With the correct sweep speed, both detection and discrimi-
nation accuracy are optimized.
Fundamental to detecting success is choosing great places to use your MX Sport.
These can be researched by word of mouth, at the library, in the newspaper, in
books, or on the Internet. The longer an area has seen use, and the more activities
and people who may have used it, the more interesting the targets.
Remember that you must have permission from the property owner to search pri-
vate property unless it is your own. Many publicly owned lands are open to metal
detecting. However, some have permit systems and digging tool restrictions.
Always check with your local parks department for necessary forms, permission,
and/or limitations.
Digging
Different terrains require different types of digging tools and digging techniques.
•
For sandy beaches any simple strainer type scoop works fast and easily to
recover targets.

•
In grass or turf, a trowel or knife-like tool works best. It can be combined with
the hinged door digging method where the turf is cut on three sides and the
flap turned over. By leaving the hinged part of the turf attached, the flap is
less likely to get displaced by a lawn mower.
•
When digging additional dirt from a hole, place it on a drop cloth. Once digging
is completed, you can quickly dump the dirt back in the hole with little spread-
ing or effort.
In all cases care must be taken to minimize damage caused by digging. Practice in
your own yard first. With a little practice and the correct tool, it should be difficult
to tell where you have dug. Not only does this aid you in getting permission to hunt,
it also places all metal detector users in a favorable light. In addition:
•
Remove all trash you encounter and discard in the proper receptacle.
•
Aid law enforcement whenever possible.
Accessories
•
Headphones: Greatly increase the ability to hear the MX-Sport in high noise
environments, increase battery life, and provide for increased privacy. Any
stereo headphone between 8 and 150 ohms will work. A cable adapter is
available so that the MX Sport will accept any ¼-inch headphone. Optional
waterproof Sport headphones plug directly into the MX-Sport
•
Carry Cases: White's offers backpacks and gun-style cases to fit the MX
Sport. These padded cases offer convenience for storage and protection for
travel.
•
Search Coils: The standard search coil is the best for all-around use. While
larger search coils detect deeper, they are less sensitive to small targets and
are harder to pinpoint. Smaller search coils pinpoint and detect small metals
better, and detect good targets in high-trash public areas better than larger
search coils, but do not detect as deep.
•
Digging Tools: It is important to have appropriate digging tools for the areas
you search. Care must always be used to leave the area as you found it or
better.
