Hello All,
As an former XLT detector swinger, I am having a hard time with just how fast (or slow) I need to swing the detector for maximum performance. I read a post that talked about an 8 second swing - I tried that and it was just less than painful. I viewed the X-70 video, and it was useless on that topic. I detect for coins at local Northern CA parks and some old civil war military training sites in the southwest, meteorites in the southwest, and gold in the Sierras of CA (mainly old hydraulic pits) and in the high desert of the southwest such as Gold Basin, Rich Hill, etc. Can anybody help me get a grip on what are good speeds to swing my detector for these targets. I have the standard concentric coil, the 5X10 DD coil, the 6" DD coil, and have a 7.75 ten inch DD coil on its way whenever Minelab Las Vegas gets them in. Thanks. This is a great site - better than any other X-terra site out there for sure.
