The coin was bad and dirty but after one night laying in the lemon juice ,I could get all the dirt of.The contours are so bad that I took a graphite and croaked over the coin so the details became above and so here he is.
Next saturday when the weather is not to bad I'll go back to find some new nice coins hopefully :-)

If you're handy with a digital camera and would like to show off some of your White's finds, we'd like to consider you for the calendar!

Here's how it works:

• Images should be oriented horizontally. Finished size will be 11" x 8.5".
• Shots need to be at least 5 MB to enlarge properly. (Bigger is better.)
• Closeup shots of treasure(s) are best. You can show off a spectacular find, a collection, or even your finds from a period of time: a day, a year ... or ALL of your finds.
• Include your detector in some of the shots.
• Maps and other related props are great.
• Not sure exactly what we're looking for? Send thumbnails of a variety of shots.
• Please don't e-mail photos over 1 MB. Either e-mail smaller (low-rez) images or upload your full, high-rez images to a free photo-sharing service like photobucket.com and send the us the link to view them.
• Submissions will be accepted until November 13.
• Photos chosen will be awarded a $100 Accessory Certificate and receive 10 free copies of the calendar, plus photo credit.

Spectrum XLT Settings Definition Sheet

Basic Adjustments

Target Volume: Sets the desired loudness of a target response.

Audio Threshold: Sets the desired loudness of the threshold (background hum).

Tone (Audio Freq): Adjusts the tone (pitch) of the threshold (background hum).

Audio Disc.: All Metal Mode or Discriminate mode.

Silent Search: No threshold (background hum) or threshold (background hum).

Mixed Mode: Discrimination (A.C.) response or All Metal (D.C.) and Discrimination (A.C.) response.

A.C. Sensitivity: Discrimination sensitivity.

D.C. Sensitivity: All Metal and pinpoint sensitivity.

Backlight: 0 is off, 1-6 is on at different brightness levels.

Viewing Angle: Adjustment makes the display easier to see at different temperatures.

Pro Options

Audio

Ratchet Pinpointing: Automatically detune the loop when pinpointing.

S.A.T. Speed: Adjust the threshold autotune speed only in no discriminate or mixed mode, has no affect in discriminate mode.

Tone I.D.: Identifies targets by assigning each VDI # a seperate tone.

V.C.O.: In All Metal or pinpoint mode, target response will increase in loudness and pitch as coil approaches target location.

Absolute Value: Big Foot coil option.

Modulation: Gives full volume on all targets, shallow targets may break up a little. This option is forced on when Silent Search is selected.

G.E.B. / TRAC

Autotrac: Turns the autotrac ON or OFF, this is good for maintaining a fixed ground balance point.

Trac View: Allows users to see when the detector autotracs.

Autotrac Speed: How fast the detector will adjust to the ground when autotrac is ON. Autotrac Offset: Can add a positive or negative offset to the ground balance point.

Trac Inhibit: Allows the cancellation of ground tracking overs targets.

Coarse G.E.B.: Adjustment of the coarse G.E.B. (turn autotrac OFF when using).

Fine G.E.B.: Adjustment of the fine G.E.B. (turn autotrac OFF when using). Coarse and Fine G.E.B. are used to manually ground balance the detector. Before using these adjustments, the autotrac feature needs to be OFF. Then you adjust the Coarse and Fine settings until you are close to no variation in sound between the air and ground when the loop is lifted and lowered.

Discrimination

Disc. Edit Accept & Reject: Allows VDI numbers to be accepted or rejected one at a time.

Block Edit: Allows VDI numbers to be accepted or rejected in groups by scrolling. Learn Accept: ON allows targets swept in front of the coil to be accepted by the VDI number the detector reads.

Learn Reject: ON allows targets swept in front of the coil to be rejected by the VDI number the detector reads.

Recovery Speed: How fast the detector recovers for the next target reading, too high of a setting and depth is lost, too low and target separation sensitivity is lost.

Bottle cap Reject: More iron rejection at a high setting, nickels tend to sound better at lower settings.

Display

Visual Disc.: Allows the display of all VDI numbers rejected or accepted when targeted. Icons: Allows the display of icons that represent the targets detected, OFF tends to speed up the display response.

V.D.I. Sensitivity: How sensitive the display is to the target detected, above 85 gives a three digit VDI number.

D.C. Phase: Gives a D.C. Phase VDI number for targets detected.

Graph Averaging: Averages the target VDI hits for the display.

Graph Accumulating: Accumulates target VDI bars on the display instead of clearing out before displaying next target.

Fade Rate: How fast the displayed target VDI bars fade from the display, 0 resets the display after each target.

Signal

Transmit Boost: Usually ON, may be better as OFF when searching a saltwater beach or black sand.

Transmit Frequency: Can be changed to alleviate interference from other detectors operating at the same frequency or possible interference from electrical sources.

Preamp Gain: Adjustment of the sensitivity, higher settings affect both AC and DC sensitivity]]> ohio fred Whites XLT Classroom ForumMon, 26 Oct 2009 19:17:13 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1079545,1079545#msg-1079545 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1079545,1079545#msg-1079545

If you take notice, this program is "backwards" as it used the Pre-Amp gain more-so than the A.C. Sens. In my opinion, this gets you the depth. That, plus you have opened up the -50 VDI numbers which allow for more sensitivity which is equaled as depth. Yes, you will get ferrous and non-ferrous hits, but you being the professional hunter you are, you'll know which to dig.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!
After you have installed this program and go out to try it, you're probably going to see that when you ground balance, it will say "OVERLOAD". And then you'll say an explicative that isn't allowed here. Don't worry! Ground balance ONE MORE time! The "OVERLOAD" should go away. Once you start searching, you're going to hear the iron targets. If the machine becomes unstable, try ground balancing once more and if that doesn't fix the problem, back down the Pre-Amp Gain, NOT the A.C. Sensitivity.

As I mentioned, you will hear some iron targets. But, also as I mentioned, this opens up more sensitivity which equals depth. What you're going to want to PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to is the FAINT targets. These targets are going to require you to speed the coil up as you pass over the area. Once you speed your swing up, you will get a good solid signal. Once this is achieved, you'll want to pinpoint the area. It's probably going to be deep so BE PREPARED!

All of these coins I dug today were 8-10 inches. All of these coins had FAINT signals that I had to speed the coil over the target area to get a steady, solid signal.

To save these settings: Push MENU, push enter, select Custom Program 1 or 2, push enter, select SAVE, push enter. These settings will then be saved in that custom slot you selected. WHEWWWWWWWW........thats alot of typin'

I guarantee you will get 12 inches depth on large cents depending on the type of soil you detect in. IF erractic, you can also adjust AC sensitivity and/or preamp gain to stabilize your machine, but 90% of the time you won't have to. Any questions, ask away.

Notes : By only accepting up to -10 you can run a little more power without the machine becoming unstable. The high VDI setting WILL give some un reliable numbers but dig all 2 way signals, work the target with short sweeps to "lock on", if it wont lock, it will probably be Iron. Deep signals can sound slightly broken check in pin point, if you hear a quiet vco it will be worth investigating.
Air and ground balance again if machine becomes unstable.
Don't work slow with this program, a normal walking pace with an even sweep works best, most Iron will cause a null in the threshold.
I have been using these settings over the last year on several metal detecting sites around Buckinghamshire.
I hope it works for you.......Please let me know how you get on

Remember OADS headphones work great on the XLT.
Spectrum XLT Settings explained
Basic Adjustments
Target Volume: Sets the desired loudness of a target response.
Audio Threshold: Sets the desired loudness of the threshold (background hum).
Tone (Audio Freq): Adjusts the tone (pitch) of the threshold (background hum).
Audio Disc.: All Metal Mode or Discriminate mode.
Silent Search: No threshold (background hum) or threshold (background hum).
Mixed Mode: Discrimination (A.C.) response or All Metal (D.C.) and Discrimination (A.C.) response.
A.C. Sensitivity: Discrimination sensitivity.
D.C. Sensitivity: All Metal and pinpoint sensitivity.
Backlight: 0 is off, 1-6 is on at different brightness levels.
Viewing Angle: Adjustment makes the display easier to see at different temperatures.
Pro Options
Audio
Ratchet Pinpointing: Automatically detune the loop when pinpointing.
S.A.T. Speed: Adjust the threshold autotune speed only in no discriminate or mixed mode, has no affect in discriminate mode.
Tone I.D.: Identifies targets by assigning each VDI # a seperate tone.
V.C.O.: In All Metal or pinpoint mode, target response will increase in loudness and pitch as coil approaches target location.
Absolute Value: BigFoot coil option.
Modulation: Gives full volume on all targets, shallow targets may break up a little. This option is forced on when Silent Search is selected.
G.E.B. / TRAC
Autotrac: Turns the autotrac ON or OFF, this is good for maintaining a fixed ground balance point.
Trac View: Allows users to see when the detector autotracs.
Autotrac Speed: How fast the detector will adjust to the ground when autotrac is ON.
Autotrac Offset: Can add a positive or negative offset to the ground balance point.
Trac Inhibit: Allows the cancellation of ground tracking overs targets.
Coarse G.E.B.: Adjustment of the coarse G.E.B. (turn autotrac OFF when using).
Fine G.E.B.: Adjustment of the fine G.E.B. (turn autotrac OFF when using).
Coarse and Fine G.E.B. are used to manually ground balance the detector. Before using these adjustments, the Autotrac feature needs to be OFF. Then you adjust the Coarse and Fine settings until you are close to no variation in sound between the air and ground when the loop is lifted and lowered.
Discrimination
Disc. Edit
Accept & Reject: Allows VDI numbers to be accepted or rejected one at a time.
Block Edit: Allows VDI numbers to be accepted or rejected in groups by scrolling.
Learn Accept: ON allows targets swept in front of the coil to be accepted by the VDI number the detector reads.
Learn Reject: ON allows targets swept in front of the coil to be rejected by the VDI number the detector reads.
Recovery Speed: How fast the detector recovers for the next target reading, too high of a setting and depth is lost, too low and target seperation sensitivity is lost.
Bottlecap Reject: More iron rejection at a high setting, nickels tend to sound better at lower settings.
Display
Visual Disc.: Allows the display of all VDI numbers rejected or accepted when targeted.
Icons: Allows the display of icons that represent the targets detected, OFF tends to speed up the display response.
V.D.I. Sensitivity: How sensitive the display is to the target detected, above 85 gives a three digit VDI number.
D.C. Phase: Gives a D.C. Phase VDI number for targets detected.
Graph Averaging: Averages the target VDI hits for the display.
Graph Accumulating: Accumulates target VDI bars on the display instead of clearing out before displaying next target.
Fade Rate: How fast the displayed target VDI bars fade from the display, 0 resets the display after each target.
Signal
Transmit Boost: Usually ON, may be better as OFF when searching a saltwater beach or blacksand.
Transmit Frequency: Can be changed to alleviate interference from other detectors operating at the same frequency or possible interference from electrical sources.
Preamp Gain: Adjustment of the sensitivity, higher settings affect both A.C. and D.C. sensitivity.]]> ohio fred Whites XLT Classroom ForumMon, 26 Oct 2009 19:12:16 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1079512,1079512#msg-1079512 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1079512,1079512#msg-1079512http://tinyurl.com/yzzbh6t Was trying to post this in case it helps my son and wife had to show me how because they dont like to hear me swear at the computer it was geo cities site hope this helps]]> ohio fred Whites XLT Classroom ForumMon, 26 Oct 2009 18:46:52 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1078885,1078885#msg-1078885 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1078885,1078885#msg-1078885 ohio fred Whites XLT Classroom ForumSun, 25 Oct 2009 19:20:06 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1078775,1078775#msg-1078775 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1078775,1078775#msg-1078775
Here's the pouch dump:

What a mess!

The Suspects:

Yeah, this boy aint afraid to do a little diggin'! Thats a .40 cal/10MM bullet on the right - fired.
Lotsa tabs and foil, too.

The Gleanings:

Hit the Coin Quota and a few doodlies to boot.
You can see that this dude aint' afraid of no penny, either. That's 41 of them suckers, enough to cover inflation losses on FIVE dollars. Hey, I'm beating the Federal Reserve at this rate! :cheers:
You'll see a "South Carolina Band Directors Association" pendant down in front, and a faux US Naval Cuff Button... :bouncy:

SO if I wasn't toting an XLT, why have this here? Because the XLT has made me a better detectorist!

I've been using it so much lately, working on my trash awareness, that I have gotten better with my other units. Many of the items I found today were masked by trash, but I recognized that when I got "odd" signals. I then check a little closer when I get such responses, and I analyze a little more. In the past, I was more inclined to just move on.

In the 2 weeks since I've gone "back to school" with the XLT, I've tuned in more to what is going on beneath the coil than 2 years worth of detecting previously.

Until I get a beach machine, any programme(s) for use on wet and dry sand ( if the machine will work) would be appreciated.

works like a charm.........]]> Elton Whites XLT Classroom ForumThu, 22 Oct 2009 21:56:06 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1075878,1075878#msg-1075878 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?41,1075878,1075878#msg-1075878This gave a few hours to detect today and I headed to the park for what I like to call a little "Junk-et."

Got all the usual suspects. I mostly just hopped from place to place, testing for a "hot spot." Didn't find one, as you can see:

I eschewed the hard core ring hunters methods and accepted all the VDI range above screw cap during this prospect. This netted the silver clasp - it hit and tight as zinc cent. This setup also allowed the heart pendant with faux diamond to come through like a klaxon. It hit as dime and is marked "Gunit," which I believe stands for "G-unit"... some sort of New Age clothing line, I expect.

Beats sittin' at home.
