[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 224123, member: 3111"] Gdmay Mark and welcome. They are a great detector, forget ground balancing on them as its not needed and confusing. Set it to TR DISC, SENS up to 8, DISCRIM Set to about 5-8. ( you may not have sens ) Hold the coil half a foot off the ground and press the red button. Lay a rusty nail, foil and multiple coins on the ground and choose the discrimination amount you want set by turning the disc knob. Sometimes it won't pickup 1c and 2c and 20c. But get it setup for dollars and silvers / pennies Sat mode is like a little bloke in the machine pressing the button for you..don't need it. When on the beach, put sens right up...or hold the coil a foot off the ground and press the button Play with both disc and TR to figure out what suits you best. In dirt expect to get only 6" depth..if your lucky you will get more depth. I used to use GEB DISC but found that TR DISC kept me much happier. A photo of your control box would be useful as there are a few models that differ if you can show [/QUOTE]
