Had my vision out this evening...

Question, I live in low Mineral soil...I got super readings, =73 and up, all my digs were alum, foil, iron? I used factory settings, coin and C&J mode. I also got alot of scatter in the red range with some good readings. Could my sensativity bee too high? Got alum even on pennys??? Thank You

That is not sounding right at all. Check to see if you are at factory defaults manually. A little red scatter can be there (if there is surrounding clutter) but sounds like something else.

I did notice I was getting the overload signal??? Whats that..Thanks Claudia

Too Hot ...turn your gain down

 

[nw1886]

Typically, an overload is when an object is large or something almost touching the coil and results in a default overload that saturates reception to the circuit. Make sure your gains are set to factory default and , if you can, move to an area that is clean to troubleshoot. An easy way to check for a clean area is to pull the trigger to put it into all metal/pinpoint and find an area. (This machine is a little different in that this is not a true shortcut to all metal but it'll work for your purposes.) Put some change and some of the junk down and see what you get.

I would try Live Sensitivity ZOOM and see what the recommended gain should be and adjust . It will also tell you your return % signal. Ground balance again in clean ground.

Thank You, will work on the RX gain, going out tomorrow...Thank You Again...Great advice for a novice, Jamie

I turned the sensativity from 7 to 5, Disc from 80 to 77...Seems to work alot better, I found a 1980 Jefferson Nickel! Than the rains came. Thank You all for the wonderful advice...Jamie
