Hope the new X-705 has more sensitivity

[Keith Southern]

I remember seeing that it goes higher on the sensitivity setting maybe more power! I run mine wide open all the time would be nice to get it to chatter so you know you're not leaving anything on the Table so to speak.Just a thought.

You know ML would not want their Mid Priced machines out performing their top end ones.

It is amazing out stable the xterras run wide open most of the time. If they could get them to handle nasty iron at high settings without all the nulling that would be even better.

it nulled continuously in my dirt unless you set the sens. way down low then no depth. I do hope the sens on the xterra will go higher by a couple of points at least. I just keep mine in all metal and the extra power would be great..with the right coil the 70 is pretty dang deep right now just would like more if its feasible and it does seem like it can take more juice.Maybe it could get a tx-boost button. That option send's the Vision I tested into orbit!!

Keith I never could get used to the tones of the Sov & Ex. Just me as I know they are good machines (other than the nulling). I used all metal on the 70 but found that high sens did not work out in my iron sites with the stock coil. the best method I could come up with to counter-act the iron was to notch out the noisiest iron segment and then adjust the sensitivity down to reduce the nulling. I usually ended up in the mid to upper teens in the heavy iron with the attendant depth loss. Gonna have to try out the new 70 and see how it does. I never felt the 70 needed TX boost as it was very deep here in my mild ground BUT it ran so nice wide open in good conditions I guess they could go for more.

it will really unmask in the iron like that.That is an amazing coil really deep too.the stock coil wont run in my ground falses too much any of the DD's and its like a whole new detector super stable no iron falsing if you leave the tracking turned on.Actually I leave tracking on all the time it will track out a deep target like that but it takes 4or 5 passes and if it does i just pull off to the side and let it rebalance and then resweep . if you cant decide buy then to dig maybe use pinpoint but when you dig it all i just need a couple off passes any how.

but the tracking does settle the iron falsing down to nothing!!

Give me more Power anytime if it can handle it relics are deep in the ground !.

I can never run mine higher than 24 or it makes deep iron sound like a good non ferrous signal, why does it do that? If I back it down to 23-24 it then gives me a negative ferrous signal.

it happens with either the stock or the 10.5 DD if I raise sensitivity above 24

 

[Keith Southern]

might be a certain soil Ground balance setting? I usually run wide open even under electrical high lines with no problems . I occasionally dig the odd big piece of flat iron but thats it. maybe someone else can chime in who's seen his happen.

maybe because we have had so much rain and ground is very wett?

I do not think the new X-705 has more sensitivity horsepower. It is the same as the X-70.


Let's see for hunting iron sites I learned here:>> Notch out noisiest iron segment, sometimes sensitvity down, use the 6 HF DD, Tracking on (the tracking does settle the iron falsing down to nothing!!), and wait until the ground dries out before hunting iron sites.


P.S. As Digger(Randy) wants and we do now need a 6 LF DD(and 10.5 LF DD) very badly for hunting these iron sites. Of course there is the 9 LF Concentric we can use now. Digger proved on a test in a previous post that the LF will pick up a fine-small gold ring just fine so you will not miss small gold jewelry with a LF if that is what you are worried about!

It's normal because the ground has minerals which vary in amount and content, and these minerals affect performance. A sensitivity control adjustment is needed to compensate for this. Stray electromagnetic interference can also affect performance, which can require a sensitivity control adjustment.
