Well, I decided to test out my Tesoro Silver Umax some more and fiddle with the settings some more, while at the lake. One thing I will say... Holy freaking trash. I wanted to try it in "all metal" mode, and not 15 steps, i must have beeped 20 times. So, deciding against digging every beep (it was gravel/dried out clay, very hard stuff to dig), I set it on discriminate. That didnt really help much . I dug maybe 5 times before getting tired of chewing my way through the dirt 1/2 an inch a time.
I headed over to the volleyball court, and ended up spending 10 minutes digging one hole to find out it was a nail that was used to hold down the sand tarp .
I have decided that I really want a pin pointer. Even at 24, I found it hard to keep having to pick up my detector and scan a quick area over and over!
The day was not completely lost. I ended up finding this, although it doesnt feel like I really detected it. It beeped on my detector, but was covered by a very thin layer of sand, almost poking out. It says "Republica De Guatemala" and "2006" as the year. Nothing old, but quite odd to see in a Kansas volleyball court at the lake o.O
If anyone has any tips on how I should set this Tesoro Silver Umax, lemme know! Cause its frustrating the crap outta me lol.
