Hello,
New guy here. Been studying the forum, taking notes and copying and pasting all the tips and tricks I can find. (Thanks everyone). Bought a whites M6 and have been reading and reading the manual. Took it out last week, first day 3 quarters 3 dimes 2 nickels 7 pennies. Two days later went back to same spot and found 9 nickels! etc. I'm keeping that discrimination low. Someone else hunted there before I got back the second time, so I spent about 40 minutes filling their holes (bringing dirt from the surrounding woods). They must have carried off some of their plugs, because that's all they left was a hole, big enough to twist an ankle. Anyway had fun. Being pretty pooped out, I got sloppy on my last dig and somehow stepped on my headphone cord and ripped the plug right off. Guess I better learn when to fold em and when to hold em.

The one thing I concentrated on was, that whenever I decided to dig, I listened to the sound, looked at the display, and asked myself what I thought I might have. I think this a good approach for me. I called about 5 out of 9 nickels. Well I hope to learn a thing or two in order to give back, for those who have freely shared for my benefit.

You have to be carefull about guessing what it sounds like. I got to where i thought i knew the sounds of different metals so well, that i stopped digging a lot of the signals. Lost a lot of coins that way, if the ground is full of trash i discriminate, if not i run with no discriminate. As long as i can pick up a nickle i know i'll find the gold.

Same here 62dold, I look for the nickel sound. I figure, a hundred nickels, one thousand pull tabs, and finally gold. It pretty much averages out that way for me. Pull tabs go to Rondald Mc Donald house. I'm tired tonight, I doug about 200 targets today.
