Hi I am a newbie to metal detecting and just recently purchased the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. I read the manual to get an idea of the settings but I'm having some issues with it. I take it to the beach quite often and find coins and some silver rings very easily but I recently took it to the beach and had someone ask me if I could help them find a gold ring they lost. So I looked in the area they were sitting and found it but I was a little upset because it wasn't a distinct low tone like the manual says for gold and copper. It was a low kind of broken tone which I thought was supposed to mean junk. I tried it at home with a gold ring and gold earring and it was the same noise. It is a very low strength tone as well, not sure if that has to do with size but then again it gives strong signals for coins and they are small. It gives a loud low tone for pennies so not sure why I'm not getting the same thing for gold. I'm very confused
I have my settings set as: sensitivity at 3 o'clock, disc. at 12 and I'm on tone setting. Any help would be great because I don't want to go over what sounds like a broken tone and not dig it thinking it's a pull tab or something.
