1.) If your detecting on a beach , can the rocks , pebbles and other minerals throw of your single ?

2.) When I use my PP -pin point button is it telling me just the accurate spot or just the depth ?

3.) I have the Bounty Hunter Ranger Pro , which would be the best setting for beaches ? Compared to soil "ground "?

4.) when I dig a high signal , I dig the hole and check again with the detector to see if the signal is still strong . But sometimes it's gone , then I check the dirt and its there but can't find what it is . Then move the dirt away and I get another signal as if I didn't dig in the right spot . But I double checked ..

First off if you're detecting a salt water beach with the machine you have odds are it can't handle the salt.

So stick to the dry sand areas only.....also suggest back off on the sensitivity which might be causing false or ghost signals.

Think of sensitivity as like driving in fog with your brights on. You'll find more with lower sens. As for targets that seem to move on you, it's just that you missed them or they were to small.
