Hi, I'm new to the boards and have a question. My husband bought a Pioneer 202 by BH for me on Dec. 13th. I read the manual several times and watched the instructional video twice before going out to use the detector.
So far I have used the detector in 2 yards and 3 parks. My problem is that whatever location I'm in, all I get is an iron reading, always with a depth of between 6-8 inches. I have only found 6 cents so far, by accident since my machine consistently gives the same reading.
I am using All Metals mode since I am primarily interested in finding jewelry. I set the sensitivity knob to appr. the 2 o'clock position.
What am I doing wrong? I thought the machine would automatically ground-balance for the soil iron content. I would be grateful for any advice or tips. Thank you!
