I went out for a few minutes in my backyard. I came across a signal that was high. It was in the upper right corner and in the upper portion. So I switched to digital. It told me 04 27, 05 28, 19 28, 04 28, 01 28, 00 28, 00 29, 20 28 etc. So I didn't know whether to dig or not but did anyway to satisfy my curiousity. It turned out to be Guess?

Looks like you are learning when to dig. You are getting that instinct that tells you that might be a good target. A lot of surface coins will give you those readings... especially a penny. You might also get those readings with FAST on, the digital readings arent as accurate with it on. At least you are 50 cents richer. As far as hot rocks all of my hot minerals hit at 00-31.

Lori - why are you looking at digital readings at all? First of all it's a PITA to remember what falls where....I would hunt by sound and then look at where the cursor falls on the Smart Screen -- they never should have added a separate digital screen....it probably should have been superimposed on the Smart screen, but I don't see any reason to really look at those values as targets in the ground are always gonna be +/- a few clicks on eaither axis.

I agree with Erik. Throw a bunch of different targets (clad, silver coins, nails, bottle caps, etc.) on a CLEAN patch of ground, and listen carefully to the different sounds each makes. The more you practice this the better. Silver objects have a very distinctive tone, and once you imprint the sound in your mind, you will almost always know when you've swept over a silver coin (unless its a very deep one, well masked, etc.). Therefore, sounds/tones first, then depth meter, THEN SmartFind screen, in that order. Have fun learning your Minelab. Johnny
