I'm still going to turn the tone volume up to be able to hear those deeper chirps easierThis may sound odd, but I think shorter folks (like me) may do better initially detecting. Here is the reason. If you are 6' tall versus say 5'4", like me, before I started shrinking due to age, you cover more ground per stride. That being said, if you walk at a "normal" pace, the coil will operate in a "Z" pattern. All that white space in the "Z" will not be detected. So...the fix is to take baby steps and do a pattern like this - _________. No space between the coil. Miss it by an inch, miss it by a mile. Walk with small steps and move the coil slowly. Listen for deep chirps that if you stop, will repeat themselves. I found a 17th century inch and a half long buckle down almost 11" in a pounded site doing that. And silver quarters down 10" or more, no biggie doing this.
