I was able to get out about 1-1/2 hours before it started raining hard enough to chase me back inside, and I was ready to quit, too.
I'll just say up front that my fustration is partly my fault and partly the site I chose to take it to.
Before I left the house, I put the settings that I wanted to use in each of the memory locations. Or at least I thought I did. <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry"> Come to find out I didn't.
I had found a new park I wanted to hunt and what I was wanting to do was find good targets and try different threshold settings on them. So I started putting my settings in memory. Location 1 with 0 disc, 2 sens, -95 threshold, nothing notched.
Location 2 was to be the same but with a -50 threshold.
Location 3 was to be the same but with a -25 threshold.
Well...I get out there, walk out onto the grass aways and turn it on and look for a place to ground balance, only thing is, factory preset was the last setting I had on, so when I turned it on, FP was what I got up, so I went to bring up mem location 1 and guess what, it wasn't there, an in fooling with it then, I loaded the FP settings inadvertangly in to location 1, and location 2, and location 3. Don't ask me how <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> Only I didn't find out about memory locations 2 and 3 until later.
So anyway, by now there is this mist blowing in the wind, and I'm out there reprograming the setting I wanted to use. I get them in and start sweeping and seem to be doing ok, listening to the tones, and checking Id's and such, and then I'm looking at the meter and see these these numbers flashing without any tones, and low and behold I had somehow turned on some notches <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
"> , so I stop and fix those so I can hear everything. Ok so now here I go and dig a couple of peices of foil, getting kinda comfortable and take off working a grid, so I can come back over with differet settings. By now the rain is coming down in a steady sprinkle. I find some interesting tone responses and sweep both ways and ignored the ones that gave a - reading, until I found a nice 28 number that stayed positive, then I hit the pinpoint button.
After hitting that pinpoint button, I now beleive that whole park is built ontop of one big sheet of metal <img src="/metal/html/oh.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":O"> I got this very large signal response. In fact, I started sweeping around and every where I looked there was something. In some places, it worked ok, as long as I was 6 inches about the ground, but whenever I put the coil on the ground it sounded off. <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?"> <img src="/metal/html/angry.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":mad"> What the...?
So I'm walking around kind of befuddled, trying to figure out what is going on and saying "Man...whats this park built ontop of??? and decide not to use the pinpoint mode here until I understand it better. By now, its really starting to rain and I decide to sweep back toward the truck. So I bring up Mem location 2, and thereby loading the FP settings that I had unknowingly loaded earlier and take off and once again notice that the settings don't look right, the the tones don't match the numbers, and in disgust notice that the notches are turned on again. <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry"> <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry"> <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry">
So...I leave it and head to the truck. At about 5 to 6 feet from the truck, the ground changes so , I sweep it and it gives me #51 and #73 readings....#51 with the coil a foot above the ground and #73 with the coil on the ground....
So there I was...standing in the rain...waving this machine in the air and on the ground...thinking now would be a good time to find that tree.... <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin"> <img src="/metal/html/help.gif" border=0 width=23 height=15 alt=":help">

I am also going to make sure my coil wire is properly wound around my lower pole and not flopping in above my coil for the non-motion pinpoint mode to pick up and make me think the whole planet is on one big sheet of tin <img src="/metal/html/indifferent.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":|"> <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
