Always make sure the profiling is turned OFF while swinging that coil, or else it will constantly sound off on every metallic target in the ground. To turn it off or on? Just push the pinpoint button and release. look at the screen and it will say PROFILING when it is on and the word PROFILING will not be there when it it turned off. (look at the right part of the screen below search aids)

This should solve your problem...

What John said and bump your sensitivity down to about 6 or 6.5. The 1350 is a sensitive puppy. Make sure also that your cable is wrapped properly ( first wind over the top of the shaft ) and wound snugly thereafter. Everytime that cable moves close to the coil ever so slightly the coil picks it up as a target.

"got the long awaited 1350 today; not a moment too soon. Put it to work straight away and got one Australian 5 cent coin, which looks like it was hit by the lawn mower in my front yard. Got 2 rat shot bullets and two brass buckles off a bridle or saddle and a brass top off a bicycle bell, all this at home - not much really."

Please allow me to disagree! These things tell me your 1350 is working as advertised. That it will pick up an Aussie 5 center and that small, conductive targets are scoming through in your soil.
I'd say you learned a lot!

"...am very confused as signals everywhere."

That is typical in a yard. Lots of junk mixed in with a few keepers. The 1350 is sensitive and as Willy said, turn down the SENS and strap that cable down. You really have a helluva a machine as a beginner, so take your time and let IT teach you.

SEveral of the guys on here have a multitude of methods so I hope they post one. How bad is the coin? If it's just heavily tarnished a bottle of TARN-X will fix it. If it's really corroded you can soak it in olive oil, diesel fuel, kerosene.

thanx uncle Willy will try these methods & David id say you are probably spot on as i feel like i have learned a lot with so much to learn but that it part of the ride a bit like any marriage the only difference this one is certain to last. here is a pic of me bits and pieces

 

[DavHut]

Looks good man. You have plenty of good things there - let each one tell you its story and what it said to your detector.

I gotta say, you seem to have some harsh soil!
