Target blanking is caused by the detector losing its Threshold while
passing over a rejected target. If you are sweeping the coil and your
X-TERRA is silent for what seems like seconds at a time, you’re going
too fast and are likely passing over too many close targets to allow the
Threshold to reset. It could be that those rejected targets are adjacent to
coins. If you don’t slow down, you’re going to miss them.
I have a sweep speed of about 12 - 18 inches per second, depending on
the soil and site conditions. If I run into multiple targets, I’ll slow down so I
can better analyze the sounds they produce. If it is a wide open area, with
very few targets, I’ll hunt a little faster. The best advice I can give anyone
on nding the “right” sweep speed is to build yourself a coin garden, and
practice, practice, practice!
