MXT cold weather question

[mncricket]

It is about 40-45 degrees here today and super windy. The threshold seems to be significantly lower at the edge of the hum....is that due to the temp or the batteries (at about 10 at start up) or wind....or anyone else have any ideas?

I do not run a MXT. I will say this I have hunted in 30 degree and below without issue? IMHO I would say a fluke, but I am sure one of the MXT users will help you, Beale.

I haven't experienced that and it is always windy and that cold here. I'll look in the MXT edge book and see if it covers anything like that.

Perhaps a tune-up over the long winter (i.e. way too much snow to detect and way too hard of frozen ground to dig) wouldn't be a bad idea?

I would give whites a call and ask them. I know the GMT is set up to run in desert (Hot) or tundra (Cold) situations not sure on the MXT.Or Email at sales@whiteselectronics.com you should get a fast reply.

Use the headphones, it will eliminate the wind and keep your ears warm. my other thought was you might be in a different type ground, check the mineralization in prospecting mode. always check your mineralization #'s in each area you detect, after a while you will know how the ground is in each area.

If it is wet out that affects the threshold. Tim
