congrats on your new machine DuggeranDigger, the idx is a two filter machine and it will excel in trashy areas because the signal recovery is very quick . i'm not real to familiar with that particular machine so i don't know the exact tricks for more depth , only to say try adding more gain and more sensitivity while maintaining stability should give you best results . i don't know why you didn't get alot of nickles with the xlt as i had that machine for a few years and use to find alot with it and you could run up to 4 filters so it could go very deep. hope this helps some , maybe someone with that particular machine will chime in .

You can crank up the SENS until it starts to chatter..then back it down a little. Most of the time you will be able to go past the pre-set marking on SENS.
