getting a golden umax

[Andy/Memphis]

any pointers on setup for coin hunting in trashy parks

I envy you. I love tones and it being a Tesoro only makes it better. On my Royal Sabre, which is close to a Golden, I use tones ONLY with disc to just eliminate SMALL foil. By doing this you will not have to hear the low tone for iron-which will eliminate one of the tones you will have to hear. If very trashy, you can use NARROW notch to barely reject most tabs and leave the lower discriminate as is-small foil. I would start out with tones only and LEARN what they are telling you-a maybe tedious task at first but the dividends are worth it. Then, later, when you get ready to lower your discriminate even lower you will be fairly accustomed to what the detector tells you.

well the way i use to hunt with one is i listened to everything go slow and listen to solid mid to high tones if coin shooting now on the nickel it will run on the tone just above the iron or low tone and you might get a little crackle to it thinking its junk but if this tone is the only one your getting prviding you know how to size your target i would dig! rolling tones would be like a bolt or something mishaped or deformed and sometimes iron washers will fool you once you start experimenting you will love it and i 've tried bigger coils as well and this actually changed my toning and threw way off kilter it's the solid tones that you want now i don't know for sure but if you come across indian head pennies there going to come in on the zinc style i beleive but i will say i've found more coins with this detector than any othe that i have.

Congrats, Andy.

Coinshooting:
Set your disc half way between foil and nickel, then set it half way again.
Set your Notch Width dial at 12:00

Go hunting. High tones will speak for themselves. The two mid tones will tend to run together on certain targets. When that happens, use your Notch Switch to figure out which tone is predominate. Flick to Narrow and then to Wide for those mixed tones. Pretty easy to figure it out once you've done it a couple of times.

You'll enjoy it.
