    If you keep at it, it will happen!

    What kind of a site were you hunting?

    once i got used to the DD coil instead of my other coil on the seahunter Bamm everything seemed to fall into place. plus you

    think it may be falsing but it aint it's showing all the different targets the coil is over. it will false sometimes but i think it is cause

    of conditions not the machine, also if you bump it on the seafloor (bottom), that will cause it to false, just raise the coil alittle so

    it doesnt touch the bottom pass a few times over it and if their is something their its gonna let you know.

    Do STD mode at first until used to the machine, i suggest staying in STD mode even if your used to it for at least the first

    month.Here's what i do i Auto ground balance then Only if it is chatty i drop the sensitivity, if still chatty i manually drop a couple

    clicks on the Ground Balance, i Do Zero Mode then raise Iron Discriminate to 35 and go,

    I Auto Ground when im on the dry, then Auto Ground when im on the wet sand , then Auto Ground in the water.

    Once in awhile i re Auto Ground. If still havin problems then drop the Sensitivity to 3 or 4 bars If that dont work change

    frequency, that dont work check batterys, i use rechargeable and after an hour they start to go down so i bring extra now thats

    cause i could use new set of rechargeable batterys but mine usually last 4 hours then i noticed some eartic behavior so i changed

    them one time. Once i got used to the machine all the problems i thought i was having all went away. Its like they say its a

    learning curve. now im doing PRO mode and just having a BLAST with this machine. be patient if it takes a little longer to get

    used to tell her dont give up once she's got it down it's alot of fun. The other day i found two good signals next to each other

    surrounded by trash, i scooped the first one didnt take my scoop out of the water went right for the other target got it , when i

    shook sand out their was the two PULLTABS none of the trash. i was like mann im gettin good with this thing.
