Hi all,
Just a technical query about the X-terra 705. I've been in the game for more than 30 years but this is my new detector and I'm just getting to know it. I may be getting it the wrong way around, but several things I've read seem to suggest that the LOWER ground balance numbers on the machine indicate a HIGHER level of mineralisation. Machines I've used in the past have read the other way, with a higher number indicating higher mineralisation. Obviously, it makes no difference which way a particular system shows the higher mineralisation, just so long as I know what I'm looking at ! HaHa. I'd be glad if Randy or some other 705 guru could set me straight on this. Being able to actively check the mineral level of the dirt is a valuable tool in prospecting. Based on all those past years and different machines I can honestly say this 705 with both conc and DD coils is the best hybrid I've ever swung. Many thanks in advance for all advice.
All the best
