Ok, so I went out to a local park I've already hit with an old vlf where I gained $70 and I know two other people have detected there since. Taking Roscoes advice I set slow tracking, threshold to 2oclock and got it sounding smooth. It was harder without discriminating like my older vlfs, but I just made less signals in the area by digging up everything that made the eureka flutter even a little. I was very very impressed when it was finding bits of 1.5mm dia. wire only about 3-4mm long and also very tiny bits of alloy.
The previous detector should have found some of the targets I got today but the eureka certainly found what it missed or couldn't pick up. Only got to detect a 1/4 of the park as I found my self surrounded by a crowd which I hadnt realised, and a semi circle of mothers, fathers, grandmothers and children stood and watch me dig a few useless targets but luckily I got a 10c coin which gave some excitement to proove that detectors actually work.. they were very happy for me to be there as i showed them the dangerous metal spikes, nails and filings I was keeping in my bag for trash from the grounds.
Even though I gave away roughly $2 to interested children who eagerly watched me dig the finds from below, I scored $4.75 I think it was and still 3/4 of the park to detect.
It played up very strangly under a 30cm square section under the tambark and I'm guessing it was a couple of big poles from previous equipment close to each other as it sounded like it bounced left and right
Also I do realise I havnt fixed the cable yet
Seemed to run well though. Forgot to swap to fast tracking to see the diffrrence so ill do it tomorrow unless its raining.
