What I would suggest is read the directions that come with the detector and study the depth settings and then practice , practice thats one way you will get to know the machine........Seeker

Make a mental note of each find. 1. sound, 2. meter reading, 3. depth, and 4. result. That's the simplified verson. That way you will pick up tendencies. Burdie

There is no need to practice trail and error. Check out the web site for the brand of detector you have for the manual. Let us know what brand your using and the people here will be glad to help.

One tip is to find a clean piece of grund and lay some targets down about a foot away from each other and slowly swing the coil over each and then faster to see how the detector acts. Play this way with the knobs too an learn how it responses.

Good Luck,
