Greetings everyone. Brand new to the forum and brand new to metal detecting. It is a hobby I've always wanted to take part in and now that I am retired I can finally do it.
My wife and I go to Cape cod every year for 2 weeks and I was so excited last year to take my new detector and comb the beaches only to fail miserably lol. Seemed no matter what I did to balance it out on the beach, I got a constant signal and failed miserably. We will be heading there again in July as we do each year for 2 weeks and I am dying to try it again and I am looking for some help to try to figure out what I am doing wrong. I have read the manual again and again and I just can't figure out why I can't balance it out on the beach.
I wish there was a way I could test it here at home without actually going to a beach but I understand that the salt in the sand is what I have to overcome. Could anyone please give me some advice or instruction of what I need to do to balance it properly so that I could do some detecting on the beach. I have no problem on land and have found several coins, nothing of note, but still I understand the basic operation of it.
Any help, advice, instruction would be very greatly appreciated and would make this old man's day. Thank you all in advance and hope to become a regular part of this forum.
