Set up a detector test garden and practice . Bury different coins , pull tabs , iron , jewelry and aluminium foil at about 4 - 5 inch depths . Scan them to see how your detector reacts to the different metals . Now you know what to expect when out in the parks & fields when it beeps . Good luck & welcome to the site .
