[QUOTE="JoseyPark62, post: 581632, member: 8131"] Bought the Vanquish 540 pro pack back in July and took it out to Georgetown to check out 2 areas where old timers had camps. Running in all metal mode was the only option. The other modes all gave false readings (all between 0 to 19 ) on very old rusty pieces of tobacco or matchbox tins ,where as all metal gave readings below 0. This learning curve took several hours from digging every signal which were no deeper than 50mm - thankful for that. From then on (running in all metal mode ) I only dug readings above 0. The machine was 100% correct every time - brass buttons , stainless tweasers , pieces of lead 150mm long. My deduction is that the mineralised ground must cause these false readings in coin , jewellery or relic mode. Has anyone got thoughts on this ? [/QUOTE]
