M6 help loaded with iron in NJ

[bootybay]

I used the stock coil that came with it...( bad move to begin with) I played with the dials... up down in the middle all over false signals..tin, tabs all comming up as coins.... and iron rocks... what the hell am I doing wrong?

Nothing, they sound that way sometimes! I replied in depth to you original post about coils. In particular, locking the toggle, and the difference in the tone are CRITICAL in an area like that!

If you can spare the $$$, get a copy of this DVD. http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/videoindex.htm

It's not done using a whites, but it helped me a TON!

BootyBay, I had a M6 for about a year and took me some time to learn it even thou there aren't that many buttons. Some areas I could run that stock coil wide open. Others I had a heck of a time running the 5.3 coil 1/3. It seems so chattery some times it will drive you nuts, but good targets always seem to come threw.

If I hadn't had the bug to get a new XLT to try I would still be using the M6. Infact, if a spot one at a great price I plan on grabbing another one. Its great coin and jewelry machine. Put that 5.3 coil on it and its a great trash area machine to. I found a ton of clad with it and over 10 real nice rings along with other jewelry.

If it seems to get to chattery you might try pulling out the battery while the machine is still on for a few minutes. I tried this a few times and it really seemed to quiet it down. Guess it does a reset on the board when you do this. Also, if you try Discing out to high in some areas it will get noisey on you. Better off just discing out iron and sorting the rest out by sound, ID and repeatable signals.

Good luck with it and will be watching for more post by you in the find section.
