I am getting a new detector, but it's on back order. Still using the XLT until I get it. So to the guys who have used Whites XLT I have a question.
A lot of times I get a killer dime, quarter, dollar etc. signal that will register somewhat shallow. Maybe four inches or less. No bars in the negative side of zero. I start digging and nothing it's deep iron giving a nonferrous readout. I get paranoid and usually keep digging until I am tired of digging or find the culprit signal which is always iron 8"+ it seems.
Is there a way to tell before digging it's deep iron?
Sometimes it will not pinpoint and I won't dig. But other times it does pinpoint leading to digging for nothing.
