Boss, my best advice to you is to understand that Kellyco like some other places I've seen out there are selling these Titan detectors which are pretty much identical to the Radio Shack machines that can be had on Ebay for 1/4 of the price. The Titan 1000 is no more than a Radio Shacks Bounty Hunter Discovery 1100. You can get a BH 1100 on Ebay for $50. That's how I got my first detector. But Kellyco sells a 1000 for close to $200. Moving on, these detectors have the same exact coil and it signals on the inner circle. What has been said above is the way to go. Sweep and take immediate not of where you get the beep. Take a mental note. Turn your body so you can sweep at another angle and repeat. Take note of where you get the beep. This becomes like battleship. You will eventually grid the target and have an X worked out. At first you should or can "X" from a whole bunch of different angles, once you get better, you'll be more fluent and get away with less angles......as few as two. Try simply laying a coin on the grass where you can see it and practice over it. This is all about practice Boss.......if you have the drive, trust me, you will get this all packed in a few outtings. Further advice......call Kellyco and see if you can exchange the titan for an ace 250. It'll be a good move, I think many here will endorse this advice. Let us know how it all goes.
