Hey all.
Iām brand new to all of this, so Iām going to claim āhoneymoonā status for the first few posts.
(I got off on the wrong foot and originally posted where I didnāt mean to. Sorry for the duplication!)
On the suggestion from a detector itās on another unrelated forum, I recently purchased a Vanquish 540.
I took it out today and scored on just a little bit of valueless crap, but itās my crap after all, and Iām darned proud of it! I did notice a thing or two as I swung this thing back and forth, and I need a little schooling.
As I search around on my rural acreage, my friend did explain that farmsteads can overwhelm a machine sometimes with all of the trash. But sometimes, itās as if it just stops or goes on pause. The numbers donāt change, the noises stop. Itās as if itās temporarily stuck.
Do I keep slowly making passes as I walk, or do I stop and wait for it to āclearā? Or do I turn it off to reset?
Silly, beginner questions, Iām sure. I wonāt need much patience or time from you all, I promise. Iām a pretty quick study, and Iāll keep reading on this forum to learn.
