I've been doing this since the mid 60s. Doesn't mean that I've done it right but there have been several detectors through my hands. Yes, practice will make a difference. The XP hits on junk about as good as any of them. At my age I don't have a lot of time to learn. This is a interesting machine and is about as deep as any of them but needs work in discrimination area. Not intent to run this machine down because it is a good unit.but could be helped.
Run a E-trac over the same area as you do the XP. Hard to compare.
