I just received my ATMax yesterday. I've had a Radio Shack "toy" for 20 years, but this is my first time swinging a "real" detector. I'm sooo confused about the numbers and noise coming from the machine. I've watched hours of videos and read the instruction book. I'm used to beep-dig, beep-dig. Now, I've got beep, crackle, swing, 70, beep, 99, crackle, 70, beep, swing, crackle, 99, 85, beep, 70, 99-I'm in coin mode with ground balanced, and in a place already detected years ago. What do I dig? the beeps? the numbers? Is my machine faulty? As soon as I turn it on and pointing it in the air, it is showing 75,80,35,90,77, the numbers don't stop nor does the beeping and crackling. I am so confused. I'm used to no cheater screen- If it beeps-I dig type of machine.
