I almost always (99%) use 6 bars (factory default setting) sens to hunt. If you get into a trashy area or have a shallow target then back off to 2 or 3 bars to pinpoint the target. On my 250 I get aluminum cans hitting as dollar/quarter and show 2". If you lift the coil off the ground and swing about 4 inches above the target and still get a signal, it's most likely a can. Look for signals that DO NOT jump from coin to coin, these will be worth digging.

I'm new to MDing, this is good to know, I've ran into the oneway signals but I've been passing them up because I couldnt repeat it from other directions.I'll have to go back & dig them,thanks.
The best test you can do is bury a thin gold ring on its end and swing over it from different directions.

One way signals are almost always trash. If you have plenty of time and patience then dig em all , just around 99% of the time you wont find much.
Its also rare for a coin to be on its edge in the ground , as it sinks the soil usually flattens it out much the same way that air opens a parachute. Not that it dont happen at all , just rare.
