[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 96054, member: 3149"] One other tip, don't set the Sensitivity too low. Run the detector a bit hot - i.e. make sure the threshold is a bit chatty. On the X-Terra's the depth is very related to your Sensitivity setting. Also, unlike a PI, you don't want to sweep too slow with an X-Terra. If you sweep at a snails pace, you will lose depth. Use a small bit of lead and sweep over it at different speeds to tune your ears into what you should be listening for. A 4mm diameter leadshot will give you a similar sound to a 0.3g flat nuggie. Best of luck! Nenad [/QUOTE]
