The video is a bit random in places, as they admit, because they don't always go in a straight line, but there certainly are some solid tips and researched advice on how to use your detector properly, whether it's a VLF or a Pulse machine. So, it takes patience to get through the whole video because it is in no way designed to be a scripted, slick video, but I look at getting the useful information from their video as being kind of like panning. When you pan, you have to float off the lighter materials, get rid of things in the pan that are in the way, know what to throw out, what to keep to look at closer later, remember not go too fast while you're at it, etc., and just keep at it until you've concentrated the worthwhile stuff so you get to the gold. Well, this video is like that. You've got to stick with it until you've concentrated the good stuff to get to the golden advice, and it certainly is there in their presentation.

All the best,

Lanny

P.S. I like the nuggets and flakes of gold in that video so much, I'm going to post it in my main thread.
