Detecting Modes
The X-TERRA 705 has two detecting modes:
•Coin & Treasure Mode
•Prospecting Mode
Toggles between Coin & Treasure Mode and Prospecting Mode.
Coin & Treasure Mode
Coin & Treasure Mode is used for detecting valuable objects including old and
modern coins, jewellery and artefacts. Undesired objects such as pull-tabs and
bottle caps may be rejected.
This mode can be used in a variety of environments such as parks and salt
water beaches.

Prospecting Mode
Prospecting Mode is used to find metal such as gold nuggets and relics in
highly ieralised, diffiult areas.
Targets are identified by audio only. The number on the display shows the Iron
Mask value, as does the Discrimination Scale. In this mode, the detector
becomes more sensitive to small target signals.

Sensitivity
Choose the highest stale sesitiity settig to esure the detetors optiu
performance. Do this by holding the coil stationary; increase the Sensitivity
until the detector becomes unstable; then reduce the Sensitivity by one or two
settings until it is stable.
Noise Cancel
Noise Cancel allows you to change the noise cancel channel so that you
experience less interference. Five channels are available, represented by the
numbers -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and are also indicated on the menu scale.
Threshold
Threshold is the constant background sound produced by the detector to help
distinguish between desirable and undesirable targets. When a rejected target
is deteted, the Threshold soud laks eoes silet to idiate that a
rejected target is underneath the coil.

Volume
The X-TERRA 705 has proportional target signal volume. The sound produced
by a distant target starts softly. As you get closer, the volume level increases
rapidly until it reaches the maximum level that has been set.
Tones
The number of Target ID Tones may be selected from the Tones menu.
There are 5 options.

Discrimination Scale
Targets are also represented as a particular segment on a linear scale at the
bottom of the display. Each discrimination segment represents a level of
conductivity and ferrous content.

Pre Set Discrimination Patterns
The X-TERRA 705 has:
- Four preset
Discrimination Patterns
- All Metal Pattern
- Iron Mask Pattern
In Coin &
Treasure Mode
use
Patterns to
toggle between
Pattern 1,
Pattern 2,
Pattern 3 and
Pattern 4.

Editing Discrimination Pattern Method 1
In detection, a discrimination segment will flash, indicating its position on the
disriiatio sale ad the targets ID uer ill appear o the LCD.
Press Accept/Reject to reject that target ID.
Editing Discrimination Pattern Method 2
In detection, use + and –to scroll through and select the ID you want to
modify. The flashing segment and the target ID numbers will indicate the
selected ID.
Press Accept/Reject to either accept or reject that ID.

All Metal Shortcut
The X-TERRA 705 has an All Metal shortcut available in both modes.
Press All Metal to toggle between the selected Pattern and All Metal.
Iron Mask Discrimination
In Prospecting Mode use + and –to adjust the Iron Mask Discrimination scale.
When the Iron Mask Level is set to 0, the detector behaves the same as in All
Metal Pattern.

The X-TERRA 705 is capable of operating in two different types of grounds,
magnetic (e.g. inland parks) and conductive (wet areas of salt water beaches).
The Ground Balance setting can be adjusted in three ways; automatically,
manually or with Tracking.
X-TERRA 705 –Ground Balance
Ground Balance (Normal)
Ground Balance (Normal) is suitable for inland use and is operating when the
beach icon is off.
Ground Balance (Beach)
In Ground Balance (Beach) the X-TERRA 705 can Ground Balance any
combination of magnetic and conductive soil (e.g. a mixture of sand, soil and
salt water).
