xterra 70 discrimination:ausflag:

[pinpointa]

Hi Guys,
Have been using the Quattro since it was released in Australia about 2 years and 3 months ago. Just sold it recently and have bought an exterra 70 which i should get on monday. The question i would like to ask is the QUATTRO sometimes when you set it up and do a noise cancel and start to search if you have a fixed pattern in discrimination normally coins in the Australian currency like our 5 cent coin will come in at 11 sometimes it will be 10 or 12 the same with all the other coins our 50 cent normally is 28 but i have had it as low as 24. DOES THE EXTERRA 70 CHANGE IN DISCRIMINATION PATTERNS.

Regards Pinpointa down under in oz.

Pinpointa,

You'll still notice some bouncing or number spreads with the XT-70 on modern Aussie coinage. I don't think it is as pronounced as the Explorer/Quattro but it is still there. The cause is most likely due to the condition of the coins. Modern Aussie coins seem to rust/corrode easily except (thankfully) the 1 and 2 dollar coins which seem to hit a pretty constant value. I took out my Explorer II today and decided that I am going to stick to the XT-70. The Explorer sounds like a symphony compared to the XT-70 and I missed the Prospecting mode oh so much (imho the best pinpointing tool around). Now if I can convince Minelab to put out a 12"+ coil. :>

cheers...Keith

That the coins that i am using are straight out of circulation put on the ground and accepted in to a discrimination pattern.
