The next setting to analyze is the number of tones you 
want to hear. This is simply a matter of preference. And 
depending on the X-TERRA model you are using, the 
number of available tones varies. 
The 305 oers the exibility to hunt with one tone, 
two tones, three tones or multiple (12) tones. The 505 
and 705 each oer one tone, two tones, three tones, 
four tones or multiple (19 & 28 respectively) tones. One 
tone means that all accepted targets will produce the 
same tone. Two tones break all targets into one of two 
tone groups; three tones break all the targets into one 
of three tone groups; four tones puts each target into 
one of four tones. And in the multiple tones, each notch 
segment will produce a separate tone. 
Some folks like to dig when their detector beeps, and don’t care what sound it 
makes. Just as long as it makes one. And there are those, such as myself, who 
enjoy coin hunting “by ear”. If I can determine the ferrous or conductive property 
values of a particular target, simply by hearing a tone assigned to the notch 
segment that target is associated with, I maximize my hunt time by not having to 
glance down and look at the display.
