A good report
Interesting targets and yes metal detectors find all that good stuff.
Being from Wisconsin and understanding the winter conditions you are working with I would suggest that digging all signals might get frustrating and with a new machine learning to be selective is tricky.
Here is a few tips to think about for now .
Generally a good solid high tone should be repeated from more than one direction as you walk around the target and it shouldn't move .
Taking note of size of targets using your pinpoint button is handy .
Also wile pinpointing a target should not be far off from where you think it is wile you swing over it . Often if your coil gets dragged away from the original spot you think the target is located wile swinging it is likely trouble.
Targets that seem small and solid but after raising your coil off the ground 10 inches and it's still there can likely be large deep targets like cans .
Targets like coins are small . As you raise your coil off the ground they likely disappear and other good high conductors like brass and copper and things should give you pretty solid unwavering numbers . Trashy items can give you a high tone but often the numbers are not consistent and jump around .
Guess it depends on your location and expectations of a site . All targets are clues of activity. Puzzle pieces when it comes to the history of an area.
Do not be afraid to lay that new rig on the table and run randome things under the coil at home on these cold winter days. Play with your settings and observe.
Oh and I love watching The Hoover boys episodes on YouTube. They are very entertaining and they run the same gear as you do. I highly recommend you check them out.
It will be worth your time.
Short cold hunts are better than no hunts .
Keep us posted.
