This is a worksheet that you might find helpful in determining the target numbers for your X-Terra 70 metal detector. This can also be used for the X-Terra 50 and 30 by changing the title to the worksheet.
Some folks could first do an air test with various coins and record the target numbers displayed on their X-Terra 70 screen, then compare them to what the numbers are out in the field under actual hunting conditions.
This is some examples of the numbers displayed on my X-Terra 70: Zinc penny 30, copper penny 36, Jefferson nickel 12, clad dime 36, rosey dime 38 & 40, clad quarter 42, silver quarter 42, clad half 44, and silver half 44. These numbers were attained with the original 9" concentric 7.5kHz coil.
I also use the X-Terra 30 metal detector and have found that the numbers will vary slightly from what is displayed on the screen of the X-Terra 70. For example, a zinc penny will be a number 32 on the X-Terra 30, but will be a number 30 on the X-Terra 70.
These X-Terra metal detectors are fun to use and I hope this worksheet will be of use for you. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)
