This is a quote from the field test by Andy.

While the factory ground balance setting provides stable performance in most areas, manually adjusting it as needed to compensate for severe ground conditions is easily accomplished though the touch-pads. An operational tip that can give a bit more performance is to find the optimal GB setting; i.e., no audio change as the coil is raised and lowered and then increase the setting by “1” – try it in "hot" ground and see the difference. The pinpoint circuit is another innovative addition developed by the Minelab team. When the pinpoint touchpad is depressed, the display changes to show a moving ring inside the one that appears when MENU is pressed that forms a complete circle when the coil is centered over the target. The audio response also aids in pinpointing by increasing in both volume and pitch as the coil approaches the target center. Combing the pinpoint circuitry with the depth indication provided through 5 arrows--each indicating approximately 2" in depth--the X-Terra allows for extremely accurate pinpointing and rapid target recovery which simply equals more "keepers" at the end of the day. The X-50 is powered by 4 AA batteries that fit into a compartment located in the housing itself. Alkaline cells will provide 20+ hours of operation. A ¼” headphone jack is located behind a protective rubber cover on the left side of the housing. Using headphones with a 90-degree plug is preferred over the straight-plug design based on the jack location.

Ground balancing must be done over a clean piece of ground. The whole field test may be seen at http://losttreasure.com/fieldtests/ArchiveView07.cfm?ID=LT20060136
