Thanks REVIER, do you mean to just slow my sweep speed way down, go really slow. There must be tons of trash or something where I detect, the 75 never stops making VDI's.
These units actually can be used with a fast sweep, they ID better that way on deeper targets...sometimes.
Still, when you are new with one if these you really need a bit of time to get used to the speed and find that speed where you actually can notice the better targets.
When yours swings over good targets it will notice and tell you but if is in an area with a ton of other trash the indicators might be real quick and get lost in the shuffle.
Going slow, really slow, helps at first and as you get more experience you can pick up the speed a bit.
Practice always makes perfect.
If you happen to have gotten a smaller sniper coil in that package put that on and forget about any bigger ones for awhile, it is much easier to learn all this with a coil that has a smaller footprint.
Sometimes, if you mostly hunt areas like I do with bad mineralized dirt, extreme trash and massive amounts of extra iron, going slow can find you more than faster speeds.
I have tons of experience using mine in all metal, disc on 1 and disc set at 0.
Over the years I have trained my brain, ears and eyes to process all info and signals south on the screen and audio extremely fast, I have hunted with others that can't figure out how I can make sense of anything in the huge amount of data hitting me at all times.
Despite that I still need to move that coil at a crawl in areas that are dense with target both good and bad...mostly bad.
Here are a couple of vids showing me hunting a typical area with the 11"DD coil.
Forget what I am digging, just watch how I am moving around this site.
The disc is at 0, this is not a setting a newbie should use until they get a handle on how fast those VDI's come and go.
Notice how many iron numbers I get and how fast they come and go, how many trash and false signals and how jumpy everything is and how fast I am moving that coil.
Most of those signals you see are not false, there is just that much junk in my dirt around here.
As slow as I am moving I still can pass by better signals if I am not careful, if I do notice one I stop and examine it better with short, quick side to side sweeps to try to zero in on the most stable numbers possible.
Again, learning to hunt in sites like this at low or no disc took time and practice...but learning to hunt with this tool in much better, cleaner sites did too, at first.
You just need a bit more than you have now.

I have read post from those that complain how trashy the sites they hunt are, how it is such a drag to hunt areas where they get trash signals all the time...like every foot or so.
I just laugh and laugh when I read them.
