[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 321951, member: 3149"] Goldpick is on the money. There are many reasons why a target ID can be jumpy (this applies to a lot of detectors): 1. Coin is at the limit of it's detection range 2. High mineralisation 3. Your ground balance isn't set correctly 4. Sensitivity is set too high (in mild soils/dry sand this can actually help) 5. The target is in close proximity to another target 6. Your detector is picking up some EMI (even if it isn't audible), this EMI can blend with the target response 7. You aren't sweeping across the sweep spot of the target As Jaros said, this all comes with experience, and learning the nuances of the detector (and every detector has it's own unique differences). If the ground you are in is mineralised, then activating the Coins Plus mode can help to stabilize ID's. cheers, Nenad [/QUOTE]
