Run in disc 1 with a small amount of threshold and iron disc up to 35. Sense as far up as possible and still stable. Leave ground balance window at 2 unless your in some hot ground. Swing slow and listen it has a little bit diff language than the pro and it's a fun detector. I've found a lot of firsts with it. I love mine. Don't get me wrong I love the pro too but the gold is my go to detector. All metal in open fields. Good luck.

Clive Clynick has some good books. You want to learn about All Metal Mode. Of course you don't want it in heavy trash but as soon as it starts to thin out, switch over to the AMM.

Good advice here. I generally run mine about the same but have been putting the iron disc at 44 to avoid all the foil and nails in the ground these days. Wear the headphones to hear the faint signals, ground balance often and go slow. The display numbers can fool you so learn to hunt by the tones the AT Gold makes. This method got me 2 silver rings on Sunday plus a few bucks in clad coins on a 4 hour hunt. Good luck! :thumbsup:
