Thanks guys. Been using it for coin shooting to help me learn the ropes. Will hit some bedrock on Thursday in a known good bearing stream and see if she can help me find some yellow.

Thank you for your reply :-) I've done the above process 3 times with no luck in them pairing. Contacted the distributor and they told me to contact the manufacturer.....

Anyone else have trouble pairing the wireless headphones? Did I maybe get a defective pair?

Ahhhh, California dreamin

Why does California have so much gold that is seemingly just laying not far below the surface of the topsoil?

Yes it sure did! Now if I can find out what it sounds like on a nice little gold picker :-)

Took her out to a local freshwater beach today to learn the ropes a bit. Came home 52 cents closer to paying for the detector :-) I think I'll keep it, would like to make it out west one day to hunt some real gold.

Thank you Steve! Perhaps the AT Gold woild have been a better choice for me?

What is frequency shift?

Thanks for the encouragement!

And yes I've been reading Steve's posts for a few weeks now trying to learn.

Thanks for the welcome. I've have the sensitivity set anywhere between 70-90 trying different things out. Threshold between 20-30. Other than that ive not messes with much else besides switching to discriminate mode to test out. Numbers I'm seeing are all over the board. Bounces all around on a "possible target". I'm thinking this might be mineralization but not confident in that statement.

Good call on the YouTube videos. I've read the manual s few times but being a new detectorist i don't totally understand some of what my machine does. I'll definitely be watching some videos. Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably should have started with a less complicated detector but I'm all in now.

I've pushes the trigger forward and pumped to try ground like the manual says. It beeps as per the manual as well.

Hi friends. Greg here in Maine. So I've been gold panning and dredging here in maine for a few years now and decided to get a detector for use and fun when I'm not in the mountains and to use up there as well. Ended up buying a Makro gold racer as most of the gold here in maine is small and supposed the GR can hint other stuff as well. In all metal mode the IVD numbers seem to bounce around a lot. Is this normal? I'm having a hard time telling if there is a target or if it's mineralization.....
