Yup yup , sounds like you just need more time with the detector getting to know each other.......Remember , don't expect too much until the third date  ! 😄

Keep your coil under control and on target.

 

 

2 dates to go 🤔😂

It is a common error for beginners to try a detector in a yard .  But such areas near houses are the worst locations for learning MD because they contain a lot of trash : big and small irons , aluminium bits/foils etc ...  The good thing to do is to find a "quiet" area , away from houses , buildings and powerlines  . Open fields or woods/forests are good places where to start.

As said above the Vanquish series are very reliable machines and I am quite sure that it will go much better for you and your 540 in a quieter area  🙂...

HH ..

Sounds like that was the problem thanks for the advice!

the plan is to go tomorrow to an old property to have a play. Will bury some coins and try learn a bit from there.

excited for my first hunt 

Haha I like that! I was just watching YouTube and they all tested in their yards, obviously not as urban as mine 😆

2 more dates to go 😂

Yeah I didn’t manage to get out but I will tomorrow thanks for the advice all taken in and can’t wait to try it out 

Thank you guys, I was just in my yard when I turned it on I’ll take it out for a hunt today to a park and see if that makes some difference. I was getting 31-34 in my yard which I couldn’t seem to find but I was near my verandah posts, sounds like that could have been interfering?.

Thanks again for the detailed advice I will Try it today and will keep you posted!

cheers 

Hey guys and gals.

I just bought my first detector, I went with the 540 just as a newbie never detected before reviews and recommendations pointed me in that direction.

I turned it on and there’s constant noise no matter where I point it, it doesn’t seem to stop, to the point I turn it off while I’m digging is this normal?

any other tips or tricks with the V540 for a green horn?

I have been on YouTube galore but still be nice to hear first hand.

Cheers!
