  1. Give Prospecting Audio a good try for a couple hours. I tried it 15 months ago when I bought the machine and just left it there ever since. Learn how foil sounds vs. a good hit sound. Not much you can do about round shaped foil, round can slaw, or pull tabs...they sound like good targets.
  2. The only time I crank it up beyond 21 in the dry sand is when I think it may help me identify a deep weak signal. I just don't like a bunch of continuous chatter. I run 21 in the sand....beach low conductors and 19 in the water.... surf and seawater mode. There's some chatter, but not too bad. I think if you run it too hot, the chatter could possibly mask some target sounds. Also, a lot of people say higher sens make's ID #'s less reliable/jumpy.
  3. Yes....that's the Dankowski settings we discussed on the 3rd page of this thread a couple posts ago.
  4. Thanks Ray, but I am strictly a beach hunter. Aluminum is my problem metal! Dirt diggers will appreciate you sharing these settings to try.
  5. Yep...upper 4, lower 0, recovery 4, all metal, prospecting audio. (for a clean salt beach)
  6. There is no way I could watch the whole 1/2 hour of that! I could have given those settings in 4-5 minutes. Ha! Thanks for finding it. 👍 I'm sticking with Dankowski's.
  7. Awesome find! The date makes it. I know I won't find anything like that at my beaches!
  8. I would have guessed nickel or twisted/partial pull tab. So....I guess you made out good even though it fooled you initially!
  9. What you posted is for within state parks only. I came across that also but it doesn't pertain to the rest of Maryland. Our state parks are mostly "No detecting" here in Fl.
  10. Evidently mine still hasn't turned on???? I have no idea. 🤔
  11. I'm NOT biting if they do! At least I don't think I will. Maybe not....🤔 😆
  12. Ha! Cool story. I'll take an H button over a pull tab any day. Ten acres? You're gonna be there a while! 😄
  13. I googled it up and couldn't find anything that says you can't detect the 31 miles of Maryland's Atlantic ocean beach. I bet it's a great place to detect since it's so crowded in the summer. Go at night with a headlamp to avoid the crowds.
  14. Say it ain't so, Simon! NO...NO...NO! 😢
