I got my first detector at Christmas time. My sis and bro in law(known here as bearbqed) came for the holidays and he brought his 2 detectors. We hit the beach and everywhere we could. I had a great time and found some cool stuff including a silver ring, a .50cal shell and coins. My bro, being the cool guy he is said "ya know what, I'm going to give you that detector" He has a Minelab and is planning on getting the new Whites so this was just his backup. So now I have a new hobby and I am addicted! All I want to do is go hunt! Darn him! Ayway, I have been finding some coins but nothing major yet. I just downloaded the manual so I am learning new things about it.
My questions are, Will notching out pull tabs and foil prevent me from finding gold or silver? How come sometimes I get a strong signal in I.D. mode but nothing when I switch to pinpoint? I have other questions but mainly I am looking for pointers and advice from those who have used this detector for a while now. How high should I set the sensitivity for best results? How often do you ground balance while searching? I have the 8" spider coil, is it worth getting the 10.5" coil and why?
Any tips, tricks or advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated. I hope to have a banner find soon!
