Hi,
Thought I would introduce myself and basically admit that I am a noob and no nothing about metal detecting at all. Like most noobs, I have been facnotated with metal detecting since i was a kid but always would look at the price tag and see three small numbers on there and would just sigh and move on down the isle.
Anyway, I got a wild hair and purchased a garrett metal detector that is underwater as well as land. I popped some popcorn and watched the 30 minute video that came with the detector as I tried to figure out how to put it together.
an eager noob, I quickly went out and started in my grandfathers yard. i soon learned that this is is hard work. The detector made noises high and low all of the time. I could not tell what was metal or not. i tried to turn it down and it still produced high and low tones EVERYWHERE.
very confusing.
I watched the video again. maybe there is just nails everywhere but i got all beeps, no "quite" time like I saw on the video. on the vid, there was a low murmur everywhere and then all of a sudden a beep. In my world, its all beeps. On the video people were finding things on a low beep, and on a high beep. How can you tell which beep?
