Have a few questions here.

I have owned my detector for about a year now, I don't get out much but when I do I never find anything extravigant. I find mostly junk still fun but I would love to be finding some silver. When using my whites prism IV would you leave the sensitivity at a low setting or a high setting? How do I know when to change the setting of the sensitivity? Also when I detect I leave the nail setting marked not to go off should I be detecting all metals? Could I be missing good items by not digging the items that would go off under the nail setting? Thanks for any help and heres wishing you all the best of luck and happy hunting.

I can't help you with your machine, perhaps you should also post this under the brands forum and you may get some assistance. I have an Ace 250, not the best machine in the world, but I still find things. They are not the best discoveries for sure, but I am having fun and getting fresh air.

You might try getting some "targets" of various metals and plant them in the ground to see how your detector reacts with different settings. Bottom line though is practice, practice, practice. Good luck!!

You should run sensitivity as high as you can without chatter/chirping.

In open fields you only want to avoid iron signals.
City parks are more of a challange ie pulltabs,bottle caps, can slaw, dig them all if you want gold rings.

For silver the VDI is much higher and the bigger factor will be getting depth, max out sensitivity.
