Hello Need some advice on My M6

[olekyground]

So I have recently moved into anew house. It is built in the 40's so I know there has to be some keepers inside the ground. However the people who lived here before me drunk a LOT and theres bottle caps and coke tops littering the whole area. my question is what is the best setting that may helpe me the most in this situation?

Remove the trash, it is your property, you have all the time in the world.. The good stuff could very well be masked by the junk.. good target 4" under a bottle cap is not going to be seen till the bottle cap is gone..

Set the discrimination knob to the second triangle if all you want are coins and silver. Are you using the stock 950 coil? If so try getting the smaller dd shooter coil to get in between. I have no idea how big the property is so really can't tell you to dig everything. If they drank a lot then maybe they dropped some rings and other goodies. You can also set it at the first triangle and not dig the bottle caps, the vdi is spot on and the stock 950 coil will 99% of the times give you a rough, broken sound on bottle caps. Just remember, there might be a good target just underneath.

Mr. MJ nailed it. You can also flip the switch on the Handle forward for sound mode. Coins give smooth kind of higher pitch in both directions. But alas, if the target is under trash you may have some digging to do.
Also pay attention to the VID #'s. if you keep getting the same number and it's bottle caps, then it's probable another one.
If the signal bounces around in the coin range dig it, it's usually something good.

One last thing, you are using what I feel IMO is the best metal detector whites ever made. Everything you need, nothing you don't. If I have only one piece of advise for you it's this, if you get a signal in the coin range, no matter how much it bounces around dig it.

MSbeepx2 and MrMJ are obviously the ones for your needs.
Good luck
