Notch Discrimination on the X-TERRA

Ever wonder what you're missing?

Part one: Friday, September 24, 2010

The X-TERRA 70 and 705 have 28 pre-determined notch segments. Each

notch segment is represented by an even number ranging from a low of

-8, to a high of +48. These numbers represent the conductive properties

of your targets. The lowest number, -8, represents the least conductive

(most ferrous) targets you will encounter. In turn, the highest number,

+48, represents the most conductive targets (least ferrous) that you will

encounter. Ferrous targets are those targets with high levels of iron. Large,

deeply buried ferrous targets can (and will) occasionally provide a target

response similar to a highly conductive target. I’ve found, by implementing

the multiple tone mode on my X-TERRA, and slowly dragging the coil away

from the target while X-ing over it, I am able to hear changing harmonic

tones (and bouncing TID numbers) as the target leaves the eld of

detection. If you are using a single tone for all ferrous targets, -8, -6, -4 and

-2 will sound the same, making the identication of those deep ferrous

targets dicult to dierentiate.

In Part Two, I’ll provide examples of gold and silver targets you may be

walking over, by using too much discrimination.

For the sake of discussion, I will make reference to the Target Identication

(TID) scale of the X-TERRA 70 and 705. I will also be using the factory values

of Pattern 2, to demonstrate my thoughts. Although the X-TERRA 30, 305, 50

and 505 are similar, the notch segments do have a slightly dierent value. So,

if you are using the X-TERRA 30, 305, 50 or 505, adjust the numbers I’m going

to provide, to match your notch segments and TID scale.
