with the X-Terra 50 at a primo spot. I just went up to an 1880's farmhouse that I've hunted before with my CZ-70 and found many early wheats, a few IH's, and other old house stuff including oil lamp mantles but never any silver. I thought for day #2, why not see what happens. I've hunted there with my CZ-70 without too much problem except for all the iron. I tried the 3D but it was just too trashy to use there. I turned the X-Terra on and it starts going nuts. The numbers were jumping from -9 to 12 along with super fast variable tones. I turned it off, took the batteries out, and tried it again. Same thing. I then tried to adjust sensitivity with no improvement. The same with all 3 noise cancel channels-0 was the best. The pinpoint even pulsed in tone with the inner ring going in and out. Ground balance was a constant hum. I look up and see a main feeder line right along the property line. I walked around the house with no improvement. I then just left. I came home, turned it on and it's fine. I had a similar experience with a Coinstrike. This just taught me a lesson to always bring 2 detectors just in case...but the place is only five minutes away. Next time, maybe the EX II since I've never used it there or the CZ-70...HH
