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 discrimination accuracy are optimized.
Fundamental to detecting success is choosing great places to use your MX 7.
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
private property unless it is your own. Many publicly owned lands are open to
metal detecting. However, some have permit systems and digging tool restric-
tions. 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 tech-
niques.
•
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 spreading or effort.
