Gary has uploaded a new video to the Xp Skills School YouTube channel, it shows the difference between X-Y screen and horseshoe screen readings using the Hot programme, various different targets.

still not reliable enough ..last sunday had a great xy coords a TID in 90s and a high audio all pointed to a nice silver item .when i dug it up it was a small screw with a washer with rust on it

Thanks Bob

Nice video that helps explain it all well. It's the old school screen for me, but it's good to know the XY is there if needed on certain sites.

My choice is the horse shoe, I have tried the XY screen but it got on my nerves jumping about like a mad dog having a crap all over the field .

I like the XY screen. It is not 100% accurate as we know but at times I can get a decent sounding signal but when I check the screen I see the graph going the wrong way so I know to ignore that one. (The wrong way being top left down to bottom right).

Although i do have the facility of both of them on my controllers i never use the screen as i go solely by audio,so both the Horseshoe which is installed and also the X-Y screen are basically useless for my needs.

Always have been a fan if it help folks but its just not for me,audio wins all the time and so much more reliable than what ever screen option you use.

Having watched that it has helped in understanding my new (to me) Deus

I rely on the tones rather than the display but use the xy display; simply because the horseshoe doesn’t differentiate between ferrous and non ferrous targets at zero discrimination. The xy display does this so I can set disc to zero and use the tone brakes for discrimination. The point was covered in the video.
