My First Finds With The Quattro.

[garydl63]

Hi Everyone,
Went out at the weekend to a mates place, he has an old paddock (Aussie term for field) next door. I was out for 45 minutes and came up with an assortment of trash and treasure. This is my first time with this detector. I still am trying to get used to the unusual sounds and reading them. The hardest part was getting a solid sound, digging the target and bam! the target i'm digging completely dissapears. This is frustrating the heck out of me! Any Helpful suggestions?. The items i managed to dig were an old window winder handle from a 1962 EK Holden, two bottle caps,a lid from a tin, an aussie 10c piece and an aussie 5c piece. Well i was pretty stoked at finding these items. Will keep practicing and post some more pictures of my finds.
Cheers!

Hi Gary163,
I don't know what sort of setup you have on your computer, but this is what I do to download photos. (Don't forget to shrink them, or it will take longer to download.) I'll explain as I go: Firstly, go into Paint. Click on File at top left hand corner, go into the folder that you have your photo inside. Click open on the folder and your photo comes up. Then go into top Image, move your cursa onto stretch-skew and click. You will come up with a small box which gives you the option to shrink your photo. In the Horizontal box change the 100% to 20%, then tab onto the Verticle box and change again from 100% to 20%. When you've done this click on File at the top left of the box, click onto "save as" and give your pic a name or you can keep the JPG number with an extra digit next to it. Then click save. Your photo has been shrunk and is ready to download. Come back onto this forum, and at the bottom of the email box you'll see upload photo. Click onto this, and go into your folder as normal to retreive the pic you want to download. Click onto this photo, minimise, and click upload photo on your email. Wait for it to do this, then attach. Your email with the photo is ready to post. You can click the preview button before you send it, to check everything's okay. I hope I've explained this okay to you. I'm so used to doing it, I just do it automatically. It might pay to create a folder just for shrunken photos, if case you might ever want to post these on the forum. That way you don't have to go through all the rigmoral!
Cheers Angela
