ok folks, my 505 wont knock out a zinc. the manual says it will. i just figured out it wont disc them out. i was not able to hunt since acquired machine, was laid up with surgery. just started short soft sand digs so not to mess myself up. i went to sand pits under playgound and had a pocket full of pennies, a dime a measured 6+ inch down, my gator has a ruler, a key ring loop that double beeped. nice to know it will hit both sides of loop, and a broken piece of avon jewelry. quick hunts, pleased so far. then realized what was going on. . yea the zinc they spend but a concrete hard playground loaded in eat up pennies from soil and fertilizer aint worth it. i was geting hits on hard ground i could not dig with gator, too much damage to lot to get them out., and strain on me yet. we are in drought. the meter, if it says a zinc, it is one so far. it says you can disc it out. i turned mine all the way to max, and all the way low on sensitivity, and i still find the zinc. is it me or am i doing something wrong? i was going to trade machine, its my first ID machine, but i am more beep and dig. i wont trade off till i know its right! help! its a penny monster!
