Bury some different coins in the ground and find out how they read or sound on your detector. Lay a gold ring down an find out what you have to have your machine set on to find it. I personally use a screwdriver instead of a knife when I detect in parks or places where you don't what to leave a big brown circle. In a field or in the woods would be a different story. Be patient finds will come your way.

You better wear an orange vest and not make any noise!

Well, you got your detector... now the fun begins... learning the settings, learning the sounds, sweep speed etc. What kind of detector did you get?? HH Cheers, RickO
