I have a new Nokta Simplex detector but no experience using it. I previously had a White's Silver Eagle but it stopped working years ago so you can say that I'm essentially new to detecting. I do recall that my White's detector took a lot of practice and patience to get reasonable results but I'm hoping that this new detector will be a lot easier to learn.
I do have a bit of a dilemma as my 8 year old neighbor just lost a ring of religious significance given to him in a ceremony by his religious leader and he is quite upset about it. He came to me and asked for assistance in searching for it.
As this detector is new to me and I would like to use it for this request but have not yet had time to learn its operation I was wondering if some suggestions could be offered in setup and operation that would give me some chance of success in finding the ring. I have of course explored the operations manual however I know that manuals are not a substitute for the knowledge of experienced operators so I'm requesting information.
We are in Utah and it is still winter here so the grass and foliage is still in a dormant state therefore I would like to search immediately before that changes. The ring is reported to be small (fits an 8 year old's finger) and is supposedly made of alloy silver. It was lost in either the child's yard or a nearby neighborhood park while playing and therefore should be on/near the surface.
I'll be using the Simplex detector with wireless headphones and a Pulse Dive pointer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
