Help with XLT,please...

[Frankallen]

Would someone please tell me what order to put these Disc. numbers in the Detector for a Program....For some reason, I am having a problem with when to put in the Reject and Accept numbers and also when to "Enter".. if someone could post the step by step way to do it, I would appreciate it!!

Thanks,


Frank



Block Edit -- Reject -95 to +5 accept +6 to +94 reject +95 .......this is from Todd's Two tone Program.

Go to block edit hit enter to select., now hold down arrow key until you hit -95
Once you are at -95 make sure the reject box is checked if not hit enter to select it
Once reject is selected hold the up arrow key until you hit +6, don't worry if you pass it just use the down arrow key if you do but stop at +6
Now hit the enter key again and you should see the accept box get checked
Now use the up arrow key until you reach +95
If you want to accept +95 your done
if you decide to reject +95 hit the enter key again so the reject box is now checked

Now hit the menu key to deselect block edit and your done

I follow everything, but When or where do I put in the +5 Reject??

Thanks,

-95, and then scroll with the UP arrow to +6.

Then stop and make sure +6 is set for ACCEPT and scroll on thru +95. When you get to +95, change it to REJECT.

Doing so, you REJECTed -95 and all numbers, including +5, and then changed to ACCEPT and ACCEPTed all numbers from +6 up thru +94. Then, when at +95, you REJECTed it.

Monte you are absolutely correct my fingers were faster than my brain apparently when I typed the message last night. It sure is good to see some messaging surrounding the XLT again.

+95's can be very deep targets also, and GOOD ones at that. A way to tell is if the reading goes below 95.5 ,and, or, you get the slightest hint of a pinpoint. When I get a +95, a I really investigate it with many swings and checking for a pinpoint, if it goes below +95.5, even just to +95.4 or +95.3....I Dig. Been using this method for many, many years, and DEEP targets have varied from 2 foot deep Buckles. and many coins at depths of the 16 inch range. This is one of my Best kept secretes...Enjoy

+95 at older sights is a must!

On both the XLT and DFX VERY DEEP non-ferrous tagets will id, both audibly and visually, as +95. Thus, if you want to find the really deep goodies, the astute XLT or DFX user will ALWAYS set +95 to ACCEPT at OLDER sites. If one REJECTS +95, they will ALSO reject the really deep targets. But here is another "get more depth" hint" which will ALSO get more depth: program your machine to also ACCEPT -95. Yeah, MINUS 95. And, then watch the VDI meter for faint, "iffy" signals which give BOTH a +95 AND -95 "double bar" graph readout. These are very often deep, non-ferrous, "good" targets. I learned this a long time ago, when the XLT first came out. At an old site I got a "double bar" iffy signal target, and ignored it. "Just junk" I assumed. Then another such signal, and I ignored it, too. To make a long story short, I got 8 such signals in short order. But signal number 8 wasn't so "iffy," so I dug it. It turned out to be a very old token. Whoa! Little Jimmy then re-traced his steps, and EACH (and I mean each!) of those other double-bar signals produced coins dating from 1898 to 1917. Really. Hope this helps; HH jim

Yes, true, its what I would call spillover and can happen in the opposite effect....what sounded good turned out to be a negative nail. +95 and -95 are side by side on the VDI scale, so thats how it happens, and also ground mineralization issues can cause the effect.
