Short and sweat......wpaxt said...".With the arrows representing APPROXIMATELY 2" give or take"
I understand what the word approximately means but to add the give or take ???
Give or take how much ??? 1/2"... 3/4"...1"...???
Was this the case on both ground and sand ???
How long would you estimate the X-TERRA 50 to run on the 4 battery's assuming they are all new premium Alkalines ???
Will it except nicads well ???
Excuse me if these have been asked and I missed the posts...

Thanks

"Short and sweat......wpaxt said...".With the arrows representing APPROXIMATELY 2" give or take"

The depth reading of ANY make or model is an estimate and is frequently off a little, a lot depending upon the coil in use, the height the operator holds the coil above the ground, and the depth the operator guesses the recovered target to come from.

With the X-Terra 50 you have five ▼ arrows with the first oen suggesting the coin-sized target to be 0-2", two ▼ suggest 3"-4" and so on. The main thing is that it is 'functional.'

"Was this the case on both ground and sand ???"... I haven't used it at the ocean beach, but in other sandy locations the depth readying has been pretty consistent.

"How long would you estimate the X-TERRA 50 to run on the 4 battery's assuming they are all new premium Alkalines ???".... I use Costco's 'Kirkland' (house brand) Alkaline batteries that I heard were made for them by Duracell. I estimate the first set of batteries to it 'low' just short of 19+ hours swap-out time about 24 hours. I will average times out after using several sets of batteries.

"Will it except nicads well ???"... Yes, but I never use them. They don't provide long enough 'run time' for lengthy trips afield, and using 4 AA batteries I get from Costco only sets me back about 83
