The tone increases with proximity to metal. Try verifying the signal by switching to pattern 1 or 2. That should give you an idea of the type of metal it's tracking.

In areas with a lot of ground noise you'll need to readjust your ground balancing and discrimination. Your X-70 is very sensitive and will drive you nuts with signals if you don't tune it a bit.


Also do you have your sounds setting at four tones or 99 tones? Maybe the four tone setting is better for you. You have a great detector. Enjoy it and Happy Hunting!

Don't forget that you can also use the prospect mode to help determine the size of a target. Pass your coil over both an aluminum can and a coin. See how much longer the high pitch lasts over the can?? Now run the coil over a coin. So in theory, long pitch large item. Short pitch is a small item. Good Luck
