Depth......

[Dan-Pa.]

Yesterday the weather turned nice and am sure last nice one before old man winter shows his face...Detecting a nearby park that is old but still used today I managed a common Mercury dime at 9-10 inches and the arrows couldn't make up their mind going between 4 and 5...perhaps the extremely wet ground helped and your area may differ. But one wonders if perhaps my Explorer or CZ would have done so well. ID was right on at 38 and it was right in middle of plug as pinpointing is extremely accurate and user friendly..Used auto ground balance and noise cancel with a slight threshold and a sens. of 25 with 99 tones and ferrous rejected as I interpet tones well and used the stock coil...See so many posts asking about depth of the X-terra 70 I thought I this post may help. Is this typical I really don't know as I haven't hunted real old places but it shows me it certainly has the ability to go deep when the conditions are right and the unit is set for extreme depth...You and yours all have a nice holiday and time to put the detector away as today is a family day and seems like the X-terra 70 was a good choice as its lightweight, good on batteries, user friendly and above all deep enoug to hang in there with the big boys...

The 70 just keeps on amazing me with its depth ability. I never thought she would have found some of the deep targets I have unearthed in all types of ground conditions using different coils. Sometimes it just freaks me out!

Cheers!

I was real impressed with the depth of my X-70 right from the start. I was digging things 1-2" deeper than the average depth of my other detector with a clearer signal. I'm not sure if the machine pushes the signal into the ground further or I am able to hear the signal clearer and without a lot of chatter even with running All Metal. Maybe it's a combination of both but I have broken the 10" mark several times and that's a first for me with any detector. Sometimes it's not the raw depth, but the clarity of the tone and the ability of the machine to determine good from bad at signals beyond 10" that sets this (and other Minelabs) apart from the rest of the herd.

I dug a Hotchkiss artillery shell at 2 feet, hunting in all metal. Yeah, I didn't believe it either. The signal was faint but steady, reading -6, and showing all depth arrows. I normally wouldn't have dug it, but it showing so deep, and with me getting so few signals, I said what the heck. I'm sure the iron halo helped, but a DFX got no signal. The 70 is an impressive machine.
