XLT Tone ID
What is the popular opinion among all of the XLT user's on the site about leaving Tone ID on or off? I tried leaving it on once or twice and it was a little difficult to get used to with all of the different tones ringing. It was like being at a concert!! LOL I am trying to decide if I need to get used to it or do most of you leave it off for the same reasons? Thanks, PABill

I love hunting with tone ID detectors at places like schools,parks etc., and the XLT will perform a symphony in high trash areas and my prefered mode when coin hunting a new site with a lot of targets or an old site where i may not know how long my welcome will last.
Once the preferred target responses are at a minimum and if i plan on digging almost everything within the accepted discrimination then tone may be a nuisance. The single tone also seems easier to hear the deeper signals . Tone ID has it's place and is very telling once you begin to understand the cacophony. HH Bill

Tone ID is a big "off". Too much noise drives me crazy. I use the background noise at 200. Even at a low level it seems like my hearing is a little "funny" afterwards for a few minutes. Everything sounds like I'm listening through a seashell.
The VCO is a must even though I haven't found my sweet spot on the coil and I end up nicking some coins when I dig.

The best for me
is with tone ID I hear all the tones and don't have to watch the vdi.
I also set my audio at 173 and this gives better response to all the tones, in field that is clear of junk I use mixed mode. HH jim

I leave mine off and it works real good for me and I too really enjoy the VCO pinpoint. I can really zero in on those targets quickly and accurately!!
