Turn the sensitivity to about 2 bars and put it in a/m mode. Take ordinary objects at home-paper clips, nails, coins, jewelry, etc and wave it in front of the coil (without jewelry on your hand) and get an idea of what each object sounds like. Take particular notice, as you move the object further away from the coil where it "centers" under the coil-where sound begins at the exact instance the object enters the center of the coil- as you will be using this info for "X" ing or pinpointig. When you have this down, start searching in "jewelry" mode and have fun!

Nothing much. It's pretty simple to learn and operate. I would have gone with the 250 with the pinpoint feature but you'll get the hang of pinpointing with the 150. Just takes a bit of practice to learn how to X the target.

I second Bill's motion on the 250. It really is an ace!!

Now just pair it up with a Pro-Pointer (use it before you dig), and you've got a dynamite combo of hunting tools.
