[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 167991, member: 3960"] We got the Xterra 705 in the post during the week. I never got the chance to try it out but i did read the book from cover to cover. Today we left early for an old ghost town were I previously dug a couple of old coins while digging bottles. I turned the machine on in coin mode an opted for the quick start option where minimal setup was required. The target ID ranges from -8 to 48. The minus figures indicate iron. For some reason most of the time the only signals I got were -8 and OL (outside limit). I tried reducing sensitivity all the way down to 7 but still almost every target was OL. I sat with the manual and tried to reset it by the book with very little change. It was better if I put it in AM (all metal mode) where it found some targets but still most were OL. Any suggestions?
