A lot depends on how much trash and iron is on the beach you are hunting. Also i dont know how long you been using the Exp. I open up the sensitivity to 29 manual, anything beyond that just doesnt seem to make a depth difference. Gain at 10, you want to hear every weak signal. I hunt with the Threshold tone, varib and limits all at 10. I normally hunt in conductive. Sometimes when im looking for smaller jewelry i will turn the threshold tone down to 1... it really makes the targets in that range sound off like iron would in Ferr. Really makes you stop. If you are looking for recent drops.... start at the towel line.... somewhere close to where it starts down at high tide. Always hunt at LOW tide. At the towel liine expect to dig somewhere around 400 trash to 1 piece of jewelry.... the closer you are to the water the less trash you will dig. start with a zig zag back and forth to and from the water. After a couple of passes you should be able to find a troff just by looking at where you dug. If you are finding low density targets in the troff move closer to the water..... because gold is 100 times heaver than sand and most trash. Plus rings have no surface and sink deep. You have an advantage on the wet sand over VLF machines you can expect to dig 50 to 1 there to the water edge... not my math NASA Toms. You coil is water proof... but not the box. I recommend putting a sticker over your speaker if you dont have a cover just to be safe. Dont hunt where people are fishing because they fish where most people dont swim and you get a ton of sinkers and hooks.
