Just going to make one comment, after going to many forums and reading posts after posts about recently purchased detectors not functioning right. Complaining they have a bad unit or it has issues. Many of these issues would not be an issue if the owner would have just read the owners manual and understood what they have read.
Most will just just open the manual, skim thru read what buttons to push to do this or that, then go hunt. Read the manual once, twice three times or more, bench test the detector to see what does what and the outcome are. Each detector has a learning curve, you won't be an expert in 2 hours, might take 40 hours of actual hunting and digging different targets to get a grasp of what a detector can and cannot do.
Its still winter time for me so I have had plenty of bench testing time to get to know the M-Kruzer and not go hunting blindly and be overwhelmed with control settings. Lets take a Minelab Explorer, steep learning curve, could take months. How about a Pi? Most will give up within a week and never see its potential.
The most intensive, extensive learning curve I had using any modern day digital processor controlled metal detector was the AKA Berkut. Fantastic detector, once you became one with it, most will not put in the time.
If you don't understand something in any brand, model detector's operating manual, your not alone in this situation, best thing to do is ask for clarification. Some things won't make sense until you actually use the detector. Eventually it all comes together.
Many detector problems encountered by the first time user, might not be a detector with a problem, its the detectorist who is the problem not using, adjusting the detector properly. I have been there myself. Reading the manual and asking for help, can clear up any issues you may encounter. If not and you think that you actually have a defective unit should contact the factory, they know more about the detector than we do. Makro/Notka provide some of the best customer service in the industry.
The Makro Kruzer series are still brand new, everyone is learning how to properly use and get max. performance from these detectors. There will be many forum, group posters contributing valuable info to help use our detectors to a higher potential.
Happy Hunting.
