[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 56047, member: 487"] To be honest, to start with I'd have a go with just the presets, search mode General or Deep and Special Fine/Gold or Enhance depending on the soil, if Fine is too noisy try Enhance. Have a go with presets and see if anything bugs you or are having trouble, that's what tweaking is for, getting extra sensitivity or sorting out issues such as EMI, ground noise or just personal preference. If you have trouble describe the issue and I'm sure someone can help. Factory reset is your friend too after fiddling with settings. These settings are quite sensitive as presets, if there is metal in the ground in coil range it will find it. Getting a solid ground balance is probably the most important thing. Once you get it running smooth then I'm sure people will help with getting the most out of the unit. Read the manual, read it again and again until you understand each function in the menu. [/QUOTE]
