[stefs]

I found 3 bullets.

This is my second hunting, 1-1:30h.
Ground balance is be about 80.
I am a little confused, i am almost constanly get signals like 30-35, should i dig this?
So i put iron on 34, and reduce it. What do ou think about this?

I just read through some of your posts, I see you are in Montenegro. I am very excited for your future Greek and Roman finds. If you are having trouble understanding all of the instructions in English the best thing that you can do is lay out good targets like coins and trash targets like nails bottle caps and pull tabs out on your driveway or yard and see how your detector reacts to them. Unfortunately teaching yourself might be what you have to do. On the bright side your area is loaded with way older stuff than I could ever dream of finding where I am and I wish you the best of luck.

Go For it Stefs, do everything you can think of to learn your machine, I'm going to lay out a garden of silver, Gold, Nuggets, Iron around targets, over, under and side ways, then, Under water the same sets of targets, Never quit.
I too will be watching to see the finds you make, you sure live in a great area, all the Best.

Watch all 3 parts. Part 1, 2 and 3. It will help you a lot. Do not get discouraged and keep swinging I have a good feeling you’re going to be a great detectorist. I see you’re from Montenegro the closest I’ve been to you is Macedonia in Ohrid.

Today hunting:about 2 hours. I find a lot of iron, bullet(50 signal), and something what give me 80 constance signal.

Last night the rain dropped, and the detector was not as stable as before in this ground, which options do you recommend?
I have a couple of holes, where detectorgives me signal about 50, but when i dig i dont find anything.
Also, when i use pinpoint on this detector, i dig where is center, but second time he gives me to dig next to this hole, and next time to next hole.
And finally i get the think when you see in image here.
i try to change ground balance, but, i dont find good this time.
Here you see my land after rain.

Today reporting.
I hunt in the saltwater beach, in this beach we have a rocks usually 5 or 6 cm.

First, automatic ground balanceis be about 70, i put this to 28, threshold -2. And, now is work better. I forgive to put sensitivity down.
I see , when i about 2 inch from target, he tell me the coin depth is 8 or 10. Can anyone tell me why? Is it coin depth the distance from detector to target?
I get a good signal, 80 with clear sound, i dig a big hole, and i have 6,8 coin depth, i get 80,79.70 signal, tone is be still great, but a little less clear.
But i lose nerve and give up. What do you think, what is this can be?

 

[stefs]

Today i try on this beach:, about 45m-1h
I get a lot of signals, but where i dig, this show me place close that, i dig this, nothing there and signal is lost, help?
Threshold-3, g. balance 0-12, sensitivity 2 from maximum.

but if i in coin mode, do i get rings and other jewerly?

Set your discrimination to 35, and run in pro zero. Then you will be able to get coins,ring, and jewelry. If you want to go for just coins, put it on pro coin. The problem with pro coin, is you may miss nickels.

If you have been following Truth1253, he is killing nickels with the mid-tones. I would suggest sending him a PM. He seems to be doing pretty good. Maybe he could give you some tips. Good Luck!

Me again I just got to thinking of the pro coin and missing nickels. First I'm using the AT pro, and you have the Max, which is doing good on the nickels. So I decided to lay out all the coins that I found at a park that I've been hitting the last several weeks. I wanted to see how many nickels I found. There's 10 nickels there, so it doesn't miss them all, and they all rang a solid 53, but it's a lot less then the quarter's, dimes and nickels. Maybe people don't carry nickels as much, or I missed some I ran the AT in pro coin the whole time because I knew nobody had been there before me. Wanted to clean up the easy coinage first. Sometime's it's good just to concentrate on coins, then gold, then whatever.

If the AT pro is somewhat close to the Max, maybe this will help.

WOW, thank you my friends!
Today i be in beach called Sutomore. Results: horrible, terrible,...
My biggest problem is, to locate where exacly i need to dig. Often times i dig a hole, and see later i should dig next to my hole. Help?
Also, i find, often, i dig a lot of holes, i get stron 75 signal, but i dont get nothing. After i dig, i dont have signal, why is it happen?
I be 2 meters from water, g. balance is be 20-50. When i put lower of 20, he is contantly buzzing. Sensitivity 2 from max, and threshold -3.

What I do is when I get a signal I use my pinpoint and go side to side. Once I get where it is I slide the coil down where it is, when is start to get one bar weak that means it’s at the center tip of your coil. I think you’re having a ground balancing issue. Are you lowering your sense of 70 all the way down and finding a spot where you don’t hear anything and pumping ( going up and down ) the machine when you ground balance?

Before ringers is be 50, this ringer is 70. Sound is similar.
But, how can can be more frequency than ringer and coin? And sound more clear?

 

[stefs]

I get signal:15,60,75,95 (number is similar, not 100% exacly this), depth 8,10.
Should i dig this hole?
1m from this i find a coin, after upload picture.

 

[stefs]

Today i find a 3 coins, i hhave 3 questions. I put image later.
How to clean something what i find? I use brush teeth and water, is this good method?
Can i check battery on headphones?
Battery indicator on my AT MAX put to 1 level, do i need to change it now, or i can hunt for a some of time?

 

[stefs]

today i go to sand beach.
AT MAX report me 80-92 vdi, 10depth.
And i start to dig, i dig a hole on my knee size, and i get 6 inch depth, i get frustrated and go off. Should i try again to this hole?
Sound is this, without headphones.

Sounds like a good target. I noticed mine being off by 3 to 4 inches on the sand beach or not zeroing in on it to well. I would often find mine a few inches off to the side. And again it may just be the lack of use I have had with the max
