First outing with the C$ with pics

Hey all,
Took her out for the first spin today and pulled up a 1946S Wheatie! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> Was the only find of the day worth mentioning but it was cool because the very first target I dug with the C$ was a wheatie haha.
I was using 5/25 but it seemed to false quite often on iron. The coins are all relatively deep here (5" at the minimum) I got alot of signals that hit the high tone and with good numbers but were not repeatable. The place I was hunting had a good bit of iron trash but almost zero newer trash. Can anyone help with good settings for any area like this?

I think you are on the right setting. But play with it a bit. You will get the hang of it. Just be patient. If theres silver there, the C$ will lock on HARD on it. I would dig anything positive that repeats. Good luck!
 
for the first 15-25 hours until you start understanding what its telling you. The 525 settings are some of the best for learning the machine.

Went out again today and nabbed another wheatie (1920S). Then we moved to a nice park and the detector just seemed to go crazy insane with falsing and goin crazy. I tried a few different settings but couldn't get it to calm down. I ended up sticking with 525 there but didn't come up with anything at all. I think if I actually understood the whole threshold thing and what it actually did I may get better at this stuff lol.
 
Also, where I found the wheaties I was using the small 8" coil but at the park where it went kinda crazy I had the 10.5" coil on. Could changing coils be the sourse of it's weird behavior?
 
RF interference. Are there any power lines close by? There may also be underground lines. Sometimes they will drive the C$ nuts. But there is hope! You can back the sens all the way down to "0" and the C$ will still find coins and hunt well. I have some places that I have to hunt with the sens at "0". I pulled a silver dime out at 4.5". Try backing it off a bit and it may stabilize.
 
There are several power lines around and over this park. I've never had them effect my other detectors when I was at this place. My buddy with a minelab didn't seem to have a problem either. I'll try the zero sens. thing next time I'm there <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
