Just got it thursday and put it together last night and went on short hunt this afternoon.Just tried using pattern 1 and AM with no discrimination adjustments. GB was easy to do and very happy with weight and balance except i had to use the shortest rod adjustment to feel comfortable swinging it. Coil droops a bit and will take care of that.
As it was an on the fly first run i'm not going to be too emphatic on performance but really like what it did at an iron infested site especially in All Metal. There was iron everywhere and the X Terra did a nice job showing where it was with -3 -6 -9 readings, i found a typical spot with constant -3 -6 -9 bonk tone id pegging deep then got a fluctuating higher tone hit and noticed bouncing 39 42 45 with a 3 arrow depth reading,i hit pinpoint over that spot and it locked solid and recovered a wheatie at about 5".I found another wheatie a nickel, small button and clad dime along with some canslaw and 4" pulltabs.
I'm very satisfied with the X Terra from the brief time i used it and really like the constant depth readout as it helped me hunting in deeper iron, the coil separated nicely and pinpointed GREAT. More to follow . Thumbs up here. !!! Can't wait for smaller coil !!! HH Bill
