The best advice to the new user I have read is to go by the Owner Manual and do just as it suggests. It takes a long time for some users to get around to this but do just as the Manual suggests. The next best suggestion is to keep in contact on the forums for pointers then give them a try but don't get side tracked from the Manaul. The problem seems to me to be that a new user thinks unless they go to advanced then targets are missed. That is not at all true but it is difficult to convence the new user that the advanced mode is to customize the machine and not to get coins at great depth. The advanced mode lets us set the detector to our individual preferences and as Todd has said over and over for about a year now some still cannot get more than 7" even with a backhoe.
