New to The Tiger Shark - Need Your Help

Im new to water hunting and i am curious to how you people hunt with it. Do most of you use fast all metal or discrmination? Also, how high do you normally run your discrimination. I was out the other night and i was getting nails using all metal fast so i switched to discrimination and set it around 5 and it seemed to work ok, It could still pick up my gold Wedding band and i got no more nail. Im just starting out water hunting and am looking for any advise i can get.
Thanks
 
It sounds like you figure it out pretty good without going inside detector for fine tuning. Run in disc. and set it to just knock nails and other small objects made of steel. It will also pickup small gold chains if disc.not set to high. Happy Hunting
 
With your Disc set at 5 you probably will not get any chains. I usually hunt with disc at about 3.5 unless I am in a really clean area then I turn down to 2 or 2.5. Big iron will fool you but it does have a distinctive "snap" to it. In time you may be able to tell when its iron. This machine is great a picking gold rings out of nail infested sand.
 
You will like the tiger shark. I envy you if you are still getting nails, etc. Here in the inland sand lakes I use discrimination set anywhere from 0 to 2 1/2 which will still get some nails but you can usually tell them, but I dig anyway as toe rings and stainless steel such as watch bands will give the same signal and you could miss a small chain or earring - have got 2 14k post earrings this year and if the stones hadnt been cz's????????????? - here if there are any nails or bobby pins left in the water they were probably lost yesterday - too many hunters and too few beaches
 
I have a few beach that i know havent been hunted yet and i cant wait to get to them adn find some nice rings.
