Great for high-trash recreational areas,
including most general detecting.
Park Mode is designed for searching in urban parks or other recently
inhabited sites where there may be coins and jewellery.
There is often also lots of metallic litter including aluminium foil, pull tabs
and bottle caps.
Park Mode is a good starting point for other general uses such as
freshwater detecting.
Park Mode default settings provide great depth, accurate target
identification and good discrimination in trash-infested areas typical of
recreational parks. If in doubt in a new area or when first detecting, try
Park Mode first.
Park Profile 1: General and Coins
Park 1 is optimised for modern coins and larger jewellery. Therefore this is
the ideal profile to start with to learn X-TERRA PRO before experimenting
with the other Modes and more specialist settings.
Park 1 uses 10 kHz as a default, to achieve the best mix of high and low
frequency targets. Hence Park 1 is most suited for general detecting and
coin hunting.
Park Profile 2: Fine Jewellery
Park 2 is ideal for smaller targets in trash-infested (including ferrous
trash) locations. Using 15 kHz, it will detect a wider range of targets
including low conductor (or higher frequency) targets, e.g. fine jewellery. All
non-ferrous targets are Accepted by default. Recovery Speed is increased
to clearly identify good targets masked by iron trash.
Target Tone is set to All Tones to provide as much target information as
possible via audio.

Park Detecting Hotspots
Detect in areas where people gather,
such as near park benches, under trees
and other shady spots where people have
been sitting, or at recreation grounds near
clubrooms or spectator stands.
After festivals or events, there are often
many objects to find, especially coins,
however but you may be in competition
with other detectorists.
Always make sure you are allowed to detect
in public parks, recreation areas and on
private property.
Difficult Park Areas —
Aluminium Foil
Modern parks typically contain a lot of
aluminium shards from discarded trash
(e.g. drink cans, pull tabs, ring pulls, etc.)
Because aluminium is a non-ferrous very
low conductive target, its Target ID falls
within the same range as fine jewellery.
To dig less aluminium foil while still finding
fine jewellery, use Park 1 with Discrimination
Segment 6 rejected (i.e. Target IDs 1 to
4), or higher if the unwanted aluminium is
larger in size.
Reject segment 6 (Target IDs 1 to 4) in
the discrimination pattern to improve
ferrous trash performance whilst
eliminating small foil responses.
