Well, I started out in AM with a low sensitivity and then ground balanced my machine. Started swinging right away to see how targets respond. I found the X-Terra 50 very easy to use and started finding stuff right away. Read the manual and the rest will come to you to set for your area (noise cancel) and ground conditions.

Welcome to the world of X-Terra hunting. If you haven't had time to read through this forum, I would recommend you do. There are literally hundreds of posts that will help you in your quest. Several months ago, I wrote an article that should help you coin shoot with your X-50. I will attach it to this post, as well as a TID chart that I built. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask. Lots of experienced detectorists hang out on this forum. HH Randy
X-Terra 30 / 50 Tips for the Coin-$hooter
Having been a big fan of the 5kHz Musketeer series, I was excited to hear that Minelab had developed a single frequency detector with audio and visual target ID. Having used the X-Terras for nearly a year now, I thought I might post a short (long?) article on some recommendations for setting up your machine, as well as what to listen for (and watch for) while coin hunting. This isn't the Holy Grail of X-Terra coin-shooting. It is just some documented thoughts and tips from a guy who uses the X-Terras.
Both the X-Terra 30 and the X-Terra 50 offer single frequency technology, multiple audio tones, adjustable notch discrimination, pinpointing mode, all-metal mode, a large LCD panel, adjustable sensitivity and separate adjustable volume settings for speaker or headphones. Although the notch segments, audio tones and ground balance differ between the two models, both offer the same basic functionality. The fixed ground balance on the X-30 is set to provide adequate operation in most types of soil. The adjustable ground balance on the X-50 allows the user to adjust the ground balance to operate smoothly in most every hunting environment. Ground balance settings apply to all hunting modes of the X-Terra 50. Proper ground balance will minimize false signals caused by ground mineralization and maximize the ability to provide accurate target identification. To properly adjust the X-50 for the site you are hunting, set the detector to the all-metal mode and find an area of ground that is clear of any metal. Before making any adjustment to the ground balance, temporarily adjust the sensitivity down to a level in the single digits. Sensitivity is the detector
