Title: New x-terra 705 help please Post by: rainyday on April 07, 2016, 05:48:36 PM Can someone tell me if this is right please?
Ive recently upgraded to the 705 from a Garrett 250. I watched Mals video on the minelab owner forum/youtube to see how to set it up. So took it today up to a local field to have a quick go and see how I got on. I did find an old half penny ;D Here is where my problem starts,, I know the field is a bit trashy but when im walking around detecting I would have thought the machine would (like the Garrett) be quite unless I hit a target? I kept getting beeps and blips quit often, too often for it to be trash as I know the field and know it isn't that trashy, plus being new to the 750 I'm not sure if it should even be giving a noise when I hit trash if I'm running it in mode 4 not all metals? I'm sure It is something not setup up properly but could do with some advice as to what. Thanks in advance Dean Title: Re: New x-terra 705 help please Post by: dingdong on April 07, 2016, 07:01:54 PM Hi Dean,don't know anything on this machine...BUT..normally there will be a couple of pre-sets.
if there are,I would select the one most appropriate for the type of ground your going to search put down a few bits of different metals, coins etc,go over them ,and listen to the tones,again,and again,and again,look at what what the pixels are telling you,its a slow process, be patient,as I said,its quite a big step up from an ACE,to a Minelab X-terra, and go,and remember !!SLOW and LOW,and eventually it will all start to make sense Hope this helps. Good hunting....👍 Title: Re: New x-terra 705 help please Post by: rainyday on April 07, 2016, 07:29:53 PM Thank Chris, yes just need to get some practice in no doubt.
