If it jumps from low tone to high tone and the depth jumps from shallow to
deep it's most likely junk.what you want is a repeatable tone & depth.it will tell you that in the manual.once you learn what it's telling you you will dig less junk and more coins

All concentric coils that I've checked for this effect have two distinct zones where the ID is weak. They are ring- or donut-shaped to help give you a mental picture. One is just outside of the coil's circumference near the surface. The other zone is deep and again around the outer perimeter of detection. When the coil is centered over the target, you'll get the best ID. If an off-center swing catches something on the fringes of detection, it'll often have a variable ID. If that's the case, once you get the coil more directly over it, ID will improve.
You might also have several things under the coil at once. One near the center "sweet Spot" and maybe others in the fringe zones and in between. Dig the best signal and check the spot again. Move the coil around a wider area and see if you can get centered over any of the secondary targets.
Some things just vary a lot in ID due to oddball shapes, like crumpled foil, or spent 22 slugs. Nails scanned lengthwise will have a different signal than scanning across one. Put a nail, coin and pulltab in a 12" circle and you can have instant confusion!
Try different sweep speeds. Some machines like a slow crawl and will signal when the item is close to centered. Other machines like ID better with a faster swing. Some react differently when the coil is bounced up and down instead of side-to-side. Don't be afraid to just experiment and try whatever comes to mind.
