UK member Sovereign XS/WOT been doing beaches for a couple of years.

My way of setting up each trip is just to turn on to full volume with sensitivity at minimum (all the way anticlockwise) adjust to a barely audible threshold with the coil on the deck (no metal underneath as far as I can tell!) and ease the sensitivity up until the threshold starts nulling/becoming unsteady (around two o'clock usually with the WOT) and off I go!

I get a few what I call iffy signals, repeatable but scratchy sounding, not iron but not great signals and they often are hard/impossible to get a good "DIG ME" noise out of no matter how long you check them out even if they don't move around.

Are they ever WORTH digging to check them out. I usually only dig definite BOOMS and I'm kinda wondering if I should be digging a little more. Also sweep speed, I do about 4ft a second. I know a lot of experienced (more experienced than me) users say that's too fast, but if I go slower the signals are received just the same and I'm not hitting anything I don't hit with the faster sweep.

I only do wet sand hunting, don't do water or top of the beach (too much trash there for the WOT)
 
Minimum sens on a sovereign is fully clockwise, fully anticlockwise is autosens if you pass the click, just clockwise of the click is maximum sens

other than iron i dig all on the beach, even the trash, leave the pulltabs and foil and you leave the gold too

If your working the sens the wrong way this could be why your getting the iffys, 2 o'clock sounds low to me, can run at 10 - 11 with the wot on my beaches and all the way to the click to auto with the SEF

My mistake, I meant all the way to the right on minimum rather than to the left and into auto :)

Sometimes I get muddled. Most times usually!
