Hi everyone,
I just got my first detector today and gave it a shot at the beach before sundown but I was really unsure of the settings I should be using.
I had the sensitivity around 15 and the threshold around 12 and just left it on the preset 1 and it seemed fine for finding lots of bottlecaps, beer cans and the top of a bong which looked like a bullet tip at first .
I did the ground levelling on the dry sand and it seemed fine at about 9-10 or so but then when I went onto the soft sand and tried it again it was going wild and I found nothing at all when I was close to the water but I got a few quick signals from the unit but presume they were just false signals?
Should I just be going on the dry sand with this unit or is it ok to go closer to the water/wet sand?
