My x5 is on order and I hope to get it soon. I would be tempted to put deep on, fast off and go real slow with a mostly open screen. This sounds good in theory, but the only way to know, is to find a very deep and questionable target and switch settings before you dig it. That way you can try and maximize the clarity of the signal. As soon as I have some time on it I will post a report. I'm just assuming that the coil puts out such a narrow field, that depth would be more important than speed, but again, it's in the ground results that really matter.

That someone may just be you or me lol If you get anything let us know. I will work that coil religiously at the cellar holes I hunt :yes: So, I'll post as soon as I have some time on it. Seems to me a good program to start with anyways

Well this is the program I have been using . I think if the program is opened up I think it well get more depth.
