Hello,
I was wondering if there is someone who uses their XT505 very well that could give me some tips.
I just got my 505 and I only had my 305 very shortly before going with it so I havnt had A LOT of time on either machine, majority of my time was spent on a F2, but basically I wanted to back seat the F2 for a machine with ground balance. I really wanted to go with the XT705 with the automatic but just couldnt afford it atm so went with the 505 so I could give my dad the 30 so we both had GB machines. ( I am still saving for my FBS machine)
Basically I am wondering a couple things. this even happens with the 305 too, when I put it in AM mode I know your suppose to find a clean pick of ground to GB too and it seems like it goes nuts EVERYWHERE in my soil so I kinda just pick a spot where I kinda thing I am good at and go off that, but then like 3 steps away its way off again lol.
So do I need to really GB it every 3 steps? or can I just let it go for awhile and still get good results?
what does everyone else use for hunting in high mineralized area as far as sensitivity? I've been having to keep it in the mid range, like 12-15 but still seem to false quite a bit, I know i need to learn it more, but just seems like its falsing a lot more then I had hoped with the upgrade. I just bought my NEL Hunter coil, should be in this week I am hoping that helps a bit. but what do you guys thing?
I just feel like I never have the GB setup right lol (only when in high mineralized soil. low mineral soil I can GB it and be good all day, I only 2nd guess myself in the complex soil)
any help would rock! Thanks guys and gals
