hay their, good choice on the per-chase the secret to that detector it the all metal non-motion and when you find a target pull the trigger and the single will shrink keep k-liking and it mite disappear on you but the single will get smaller witch is great for close targets.
put a penny a quarter and a nickle on the ground a bout 3 inches apart in a try-angle. ground balance G.E.B. norm preset is easiest to balance out...know the fun starts inch your way towards the big three in g.e.b norm get over them and click the trigger so the single shrinks some times click two too three times it depends,
know you should find all three and it should tell you what one your over, but if there's iron near by, it won't I.D them at all still beep separately on them but won't i.d. them correctly they will read as iron. found that out with the 15 inch loop, and when it won't stay balance your batteries are low or toast, and it should go bee-bleep when you turn it on out side. and if the ground is hot you will have to supper tune it.
and that is when you turn down the thresh hold so you only hear the tuner on the high side of the spike because it's not smooth like at pre set or if you cranked out to the max hold the loop up until it's smooth out but you have to keep at that height to much in flux and it will drive you buggy...
and some time you mite think you found some then, but it went out of balance all ways rise and lower the loop too see if it is still balance, and when in a real liter-y spot shrink the single and find all the targets. some times your sweep will read a near by target along side of the one you found and it's reading them both that why you have to turn in your sweep that's when you will read only the one target and the needle will probably stay at all metal.
I started out with an mxt and learned on that what an easy detector to run compared to the 5900 di pro but that 5900 will find deeper targets but over head wires are not fun. mxt not a sound under over head wires. and ground moisture change will can efect it all so. hope that helps enjoy a great detector and you will know when you find some then big and deep it will keep ringing hard you think you broke it, even shrinking the single it will go rite back to a hard ring with some movement.....
