Take a gold ring and put it on discrete mode, and up the discrimination between 7-8 (almost full on) and check the depth you can still find the ring (adjust the depth by turning down discrimination -- but at that general range it will almost eliminate all trash and still find gold), and run a pop top tang under the coil at that depth to confirm it eliminated the trash. If you want max depth, use it in standard mode (no discrimination, no discrete mode, etc.).
Much if not most of the below found with the SeaHunter (other detector was Fisher Impulse):
I've been using the various Sea Hunters for almost 30 years -- they are reliable beepers for sure, but digging a lot of targets goes with the territory.

Type in Garrett XL-500 in the search and hit "search." Not trying to hijack the forum, but there's to many threads on that machine over the years to post all the info for you.
Good luck and enjoy your XL-500 -- a very good unit.
