I just got my SE and x-1 probe, wondering what you expert users are using for settings such as sensitivity, anyone try a zero threshold, deep/fast, smooth/long pitch hold, ferrous or cond, gain? I am mainly trying to find old coins in medium trashy areas. I've never owned a mine lab. I also would like to find some jewelry as well. I made the mistake already of setting the sensitivity on 28-32 and putting it in semi-auto, talk about frustrating. But I'm afraid to go with a manual sensitivity because I'm not very sure where to start and I'm afraid if it's to low I won't find much in these well hunted areas I am searching. I thought maybe I'd try smooth to lessing the many sounds I don't quite comprehend yet. I don't mind this machine being more sophisticated than my ability to use it, that just means I'm got lots of room to grow and get better, I just need to start some where, hopefully in a less frustrating, more rewarding place. Any help would be much appreciated.
