Various Vaquero questions

[seanboy]

I have a couple of questions about my Vaquero, after being able to use it for the first time.

First, it seems a bit chattery which I dont mind. Are you looking for only very strong signals with the V? What about the double beeps, the beebs that break up etc ... I decided to dig a signal that wasnt extremely strong and thought it possibly to be a nail and pulled up a '55 dime.

Question two, any tips on the iron rejection? I seem to have to set it pretty high at first glance to reject out the iron but I still get broken up, sometimes full beebs when waving the coil over test nails.

Im going back out today for more practice but these are just a couple of things I noticed yesterday.

And BTW, the V is really looking like a great machine so far.

Make sure you have the machine ground balanced properly. If you don't you will get a lot of false signals and chatter. Nails should reject at the iron setting or just slightly above. I don't run my V "super-tuned" and it runs quiet most of the time unless I am in a really trashy area.
I love my V

I ran mine at very low sensitivity rates and it was very well behaved and deep seeking. I know what you mean about the iron. Try a little negative gb, it can help a lot and you will not loose any depth.

The dime may have not been laying flat in the ground, or there is a piece of junk very near by, congrats on the dime.
