New X-Terra 70 Question

[Captain Hook]

My new X-Terra 70 arrived today. First impressions, WOW! Light weight, well balanced, eays to pinpoint, great all around. Here is my question,
when I get to a new spot to detect, I do my noise cancel, then I do my ground balance, what do I do with this button that says track?
Any pointers you want to share to help me with the learning curve of this unit would be appreciatted.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Track turns on auto ground balancing so it will ground balance as you go along.

Ok when I first set things up to start detecting should I still ground balance, and then turn on this track feature? Do I simply push the track button?

-As a rule I GB everytime I prepair to detect. I then switch to track as I hunt. When I git a TID I immediately cut the tracking feature off and pinpoint the TID. After recovering item I switch tracking back on and continue to hunt.

Ok, thanks that helps alot.

Actually I noise cancel, then ground balance. I guess maybe we all do some things differently.

I turn it on
switch to all metal
noise cancel
ground balance

 

[Captain Hook]

Thanks to all. Going out today to give it a workout.

I switch to all metal
Noise Cancel
Lower Sensitivity to below 10
Then ground balance
Then raise Sensitivity back up.

 

[Goes4ever]

why lower sensitivity? I never do that?? what is the reason?

I went out today with the X-Terra 70 for the first time. Tried a couple of schools in my area. Came home with various trinkets, lots of pull tabs, couple of bullets, and about 70 clad coins. Pretty good first day. Doesn't look like abything old. Hard to tell with the coins so dirty. Trying to figure out an easy way to clean them. I found the X-70 to be very lightweight, easy to pin point, and just a joy to use. Thanks to all.

Hook, in newer areas you will find trash that reads the same TDI numbers as treasure. Then go by a solid tone and not a broken one, from two different directions. You can silver only hunt if you are tired of digging trash and ignore everything(all TID numbers) below a silver dime but you will lose some old pennies and about all gold rings.

Yes, why lower the sensitivity to ground balance? Then put it back up after.

Also why ground balance before putting it in track? (On my Minelab GP 3000 I just put it in Tracking straight away.) Why not just Noise Cancel then put it in Track?
