Although I am a rank ameteur, this is the kind of info I hoped to glean off of this sight. The thought of finding one gold or silver ring is enough to keep my interest piqued with my new detector, much less a valuable coin, or any coin for that matter, beyond a common penny or dime. Thanks.
Don't try to set the sensitivity Max
Middle speed settings and slow or medium coil speed.
Disc settings should be minimum, just cut off small nails. I prefer -6 on my deus one. My ears make discrimination work. It difficult but it works
If you have Volume boost for deep targets , set it to 70-80% , or you couldn't hear weak signals.
If you detector is not multi, set high freq like 25 khz - I checked it's nice to tiny rings , earrings an some chains. If you freq is hier it might be impossible to understand all the targets at trashy areas. If you freq is lover than 25 khz - forget about normal depth for tiny earrings and chains
Pay attention to low sounded signals, but above iron.
Try to dig as much signals as you can
Try not to see at display , just dig low medium and high signals which seems to be clear to the ear.
Gold is waiting for you at any place at any time,so if you check the line in one direction, check it perpendicular, course of the different targets positions
To make long story short, there are some weak moment in my story and some strong, but I am not bad in my location so it works.
