First day out with x-terra 305

[Trackerman]

Well was only able to hunt for about a few hours because the day was just too hot. The 305 assembles pretty easy.Mine came with a digger a carry bag a replica deblum a pouch a rain cover a magnafying glass a treasure hunt mag a tote bag and hip bag a cool combo for 380.00 with discount they gave me. From metaldetector.com there great. Well i only hunted in mode 1. Coin mode shows numeric .Havnt really learned the machine well yet and its features it has ground balance threshold adjust and also has interfeerence elimination and tone settings .Can say i would get a slight sound when something was detected then would hit pinpointer and you see a round circle on screen wich increases sound and roundeness when theres a definit target then you dig.Found a few quarters and some dimes pennys nickels and a few tokens and misc stuff. Depth is pretty good. Machine is fairly light and seems pretty well constructed. Also like that it uses 4 double As. Overall i like it just need to learn modes and features. Minelab makes a pretty Good machine

We're in the same boat Trackerman! Still learning the machine, but enjoy the depth very much.

So far so good!

Well just went out to same park again for about 4 hours wich i had picked pretty clean between my xterra and tesoro Compadre. and read manual a bit. Played around with ground balance set to 3 but not used to it yet.Also ajusted sensitivity up to 9 from 6.And moved volume from 8 to 9, interference ilimination at factory 0, tone settings at factory 3, and threshold volume at factory 12. .Well found a few more coins and some strange foriegn coin. Also found cheap ring almost had a heart atack when first saw it in the grass plug Lol .Target sounds are a bit strange.Quarters Hit at 40 to 44 High tone. Dimes and pennys around 36 high tone, and nickels around 20 to 25 lower tone. Tried gold ring and numerics were at 12 to 14. .Also numeric is kinda new to me. Well good luck happy hunting.
