[QUOTE="Joshwasere, post: 44954, member: 1861"] Yeah I'm sure I have missed targets too as the machine is quite chattery but I do use full sensitivity and zero threshhold in disc1 mode with iron descrim set to 25(so the iron descrim sets those tones to silent).Like a false sensitivity setting! The wet sand will always send a 38 or so number and tone (so you need to get used to that) and in disc1 the noise is about half of that in all metal mode. Once you come over a target you get a disturbance from the continual 38 then I do many small swings over the target to get an average of the signal number amongst the chatter numbers. And in disc 1 you will get a high tone and that helps heaps. Sometimes if the sand is a little dryer I can use the iron check to see if Im wasting my time but I will usually dig regardless and more times than not the machine has been confused with the target and I dig up nice finds expecting trash! Using this technique requires alot more patience and getting over the continual noise. I have used it in a couple of local harbour beaches and have always found the goods. Hope you find this helpful!
