bmentink Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 HI Guys, Anyone managed to waterproof the MXT sufficiently to use in the surf? I really like the versatility of the MXT, so don't really want to buy another surf targeted metal detector .. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskaseeker Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Strong baggy, tied around coil cable and good coil cover to hold it in place, suspend control box around your neck, dont stumble in the surf. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmentink Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hmm .. interesting advice .. not sure about the control box around the neck, might just splash protect that with some transparent bag so I can still see & adjust controls .. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Wrapping the control box in a bag is about as good as anything for splash protection. Genuine waterproofing is a whole different ballgame though. I have seen MXTs and other detectors made truly waterproof with custom control boxes, but in my opinion unless you are into modding it's not worth the effort. You are better off getting an MX Sport if you really wanted to go full waterproof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmentink Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks Steve, I'm not into diving, so might give the full mod a miss, until I really need it ... I could do it though, as I am an Electronics Engineer .. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
