I haven't had a lot of time to learn my new AT Pro, and it is showing. I have managed to hit a ballfield at lunch almost every day since I got it. I know that isn't much time to learn it
I keep finding mostly junk. I know I am not listening for the right tones, but I keep hearing what sounds good, with a VDI reading in the 70s - 90s. Those turned out to be either a glob of solder or some large pieces of thick aluminum along with what should be my new bottlecap collection. Meanwhile my buddy with a cheap detector is pulling quarters out of the ground like candy.
I am running in pro mode on the coin setting. The area is fairly trashy.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how detecting goes?
I hesitate to try turning the iron disc up, especially since I am not digging much iron.
From what I remember from reading the manual coins will come in anywhere from the mid 40s through 99 on the VDI. Should I just keep digging all good solid tones?
