Got out and just used it on basic mode. Didn't find much beside a brass sprinker arm, 2 shotgun headstamps also neither deep, a top of a can about 4 inches down, and some tin roofing way down.
I know I've hunted here to death.
Ok I read both posts of what you stated and there you go you found something you didn't find before.
If you got 3 non-ferrous targets in an area that you have hunted to death=well it's doing what the AT Pro didn't do.
Turning to a different machine totally is a challenge the sounds and the numbers. But listen to the sounds that's what will make it a wonderful machine in short order.
Numbers lie-period. Sounds will give you more details overall.
I switched from using Minelabs to a Deus-and now back to a Etrac while the Deus is in for repair.
Now from not using a machine for 4 yrs it's a learning curve but it's coming back quickly. But it's no match from what the Deus can do in the iron.
For every hour you get on the machine it will be easier.
I remember when I bought a Explorer SE, played with it for a week inside listening to sounds.
Went down to the beach, went onto the lawns between the parking lots on the south end of Anna Marie Island Fl.
Well it was crazy crazy! Sounds were coming through the headphones every inch I moved the coil.
I seriously thought there was something taped to the bottom of the coil.
I was overwhelmed totally, I was thinking the maybe the machine was screwed up some how.
I finally walked out onto the beach and all things went quiet.
It was beautiful silence to my ears-then my first high tone-a coin...
Basically the moral of that story is get out of the iron patch-go to the little quieter edge-get use to the random targets.
It is over whelming to listening to morris code beeping when trying to figure it out.
You'll be ok
