    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.
