Congratulation.
Keep it simple for the first few hours.
Auto sensitivity, stock coin program and listen.
Did a lot at first, but don't be discouraged.
Time with the machine will pay off.

I agree.. grab you some coins you normally find, and scan them. Listen to the tone each coin makes.. after some practice you will be able to tell what you are going over without even looking at the screen. For me the money is in the the sounds/tones. but screen will help with the questionable tones... Good luck..
