RADIO SHACK DISCOVERY 3300 PROBLEMS

[suzyqdogs]

Hi all! I'm looking for some help for my sister. She purchased a 3300 Discovery Detector and is having a real problem presetting it I have an Ace 150 so I'm not familiar with setting up hers. She says when she swings the coil over a silver dime (for instance) it jumps from nickel to pull tab to penny. What does she need to do?

Thanks everyone

I have been using mine for about 2 weeks now and it will bounce ALL around on shallow targets. I have had a silver quarter at 3 inches bounce on the target ID from wheatie to $1 coin. It will also read big deep iron items as quarters and 50 cent pieces on higher sensitivity and fast swings. I get great target ID at a slow to moderate swing and sensitivity 2-3 and notch out iron. It reads pretty good to about 5-6 inches in my soil, after that the target id is very iffy. The deepest I have dug a quarter was 8 inches and a 7 inch silver dime at sensitivity 6 in all metal mode with no trash around.
