Target ID
Target signals contain both ferrous and
conductivity information. This is digitally
processed and results in a number being
displayed that distinguishes between
diff erent types of metal.
Target ID numbers range from -4 to 44
on the X-Terra 30 and -9 to 45 on the X-Terra
50. Negative numbers represent ferrous
targets and positive numbers represent
non-ferrous targets.
Numeric ID
These numbers have another function.
They are also used when adjusting the
menu settings (sensitivity, volume, noise
cancel* and ground balance*) showing
the numerical value selected.

AL
All Metal
AM indicates that the all metal pattern
has been selected. This pattern has no
discrimination and will allow signals from all
types of metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous.
Patterns
Preset discrimination patterns are used to
suit diff erent search preferences. X-Terra 30
has 1 pattern, X-Terra 50 has 2 patterns
(Preset Discrimination Patterns, pg. 30).
Depth Indicator
The depth indicator is a relative guide to how
deep a target is. The more arrows displayed,
the deeper the target is likely to be.
1 arrow is approx. 0-2" (0-5 cm)
2 = 2-4" (5-10 cm)
3 = 4-6" (10-15 cm)
4 = 6-8" (15-20 cm)
Actual depth will be more
5 = 8-10" (20-25 cm)
