Get ready to have fun. My favorite setting for coins is autonotch mode and both knobs at 3 o'clock position. You'll have to learn your tones, but that is part of the fun. Let us know how you do. Happy Hunting. Matt

Howdy Hoze,
Congrats on getting the B.H.505.
It is a Darn Good machine. I am sure youve read recent posts of peoples finds with the same model.
I have one too, and I havent used it a whole lot. But, when I do ,it does great.
I started M.D.'in last year, myself. I started in my yard, with the 505, and found door knobs ,junk etc
I hunted around some friends places , and fishin holes. I had alot of dry runs, and came close to being disgruntled with the whole idea.
Then one day ,I found 11 ,or so wheat pennies from the 40's, like someone spilled a pocket of em.
Then, I found a 1901 Barber dime in a campground, at about 3 inches.
Thats all it took
So, no matter what ,dont give up while you are in the learning curve.
You'll be having a Great time
Congrats , and Welcome to the club.
