Whats your average SENS setting on the Xterra 70?

does 23 to 27 sound right to you.......mine runs stabe at these settings.

Depends on the type of soil you are walking over.
I have a site in the bush where sensitivity is stable
at 28-30. But in some hot/heavy mineralised ground in the
goldfields I struggle for stability at 20. I suggest you read BT's
or Diggers posts in FAQ FAQ both great reading.
happy hunting

I usually have to run mine between 16 - 21, due the the heavy red clay soil around here.

Donny, If you can run yours at 23 - 27, and it's stable, that's great! Stable being the key word!! It doesn't matter what the numbers are. They are just numbers! Different soils and different users have different preferences. I have found in my area that I can run the sensitivity higher on the lower frequency coils than I can the 18.75 kHz coils. Simply design characteristics. Kind of like the optimized GB will be different for concentrics than it is for a similar sized DD coil. The main thing to remember is, after you have ground balanced for a specific site, set the sensitivity as high as it can be set, while maintaining stability. And it sounds like you are doing that!

Thanx Randy.....I feel better now knowing Im not alone.....I hear ya on stabilty being the key!

So I would guess soil conditions is a big factor in the SENS settings for sure.....Thank you.
