Having my bi annual frustration with this. Using my 705. I've never taken this machine out of multi tones. I couldn't do it. I got lost on my machine. The VDI's dropped way down. I was swinging over a new twist off that was reading a 30. They always read high, 46 or 48. So I switched back to multi and higher tone higher VDI, back to high 40's. I had no coins on me
about two hundred yards around the back of a lake so I test on a head stamp, brass reading 28 the switch off multi tone and reads 8.
Im so stupid. Detecting 5 years and still do poorly now this. I'm still having learning issues on my only detector! If I changed to 3-4 tones on this MD I'd have to relearn numbers. Im going to try air tests with the 10.5" mid khz coil. Now that's another thing, so many people said that Xterra coil, the 10.5 - 7.5 khz. Is the best for an Xterra. Supposed to read the most accurate VDI and hit coins at 10". I've tried it for a couple years. Just a little clad. Period. the only coil I've had a little better results is the 6" DD 3 khz.
Back to the other issue. I was using the 5x10 18.75 khz coil that does bounce a little but this change in VDI I didn't realize the 705 did this as you change tones. All the absolute poor hunts now im thinking Im in the wrong hobby. maybe Im just not good enough at this. Can't believe I have to go back to the manual and read.
