Hello all, my name is Mitch and am excited to get started with MD. I got a Ace 300 for Christmas. My initial test run in the backyard resulted in a piece of foil.
Being in Jacksonville Fl, i ran out to the beach today to try my luck. A few pull tabs and a penny. I did run into some issues, or could be due to my being new. I noticed that when i would swing too low and hit the sand, it would cause a beep. i also noticed the same thing if i put the coil into a tidal pool.
More often than not, i would get a signal, dig for it. swing the coil over the hole and what i dug out and no signal. like it was a false alert. this happened nonstop all day.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and ask for any advice on the above issues.
thanks,
mitch.
