Thank you to everyone who responded.
I have been busy reading and printing all the messages. I already tried a few of the things out and I see how they may work. Sometimes it is easier to make one change at a time and then adjust to that. So I am trying to change somewhat slowly so I do not get frustrated with my detector and lose confidence in it. I find I need to dig a couple of coins or something every time I go out or else I lose interest.
The sounds the detector gives out are most accurate and also most important to listen to. They are faster and better than the screen.
Several things can increase depth, deep on and fast off, sensitivity up, discrimination down, iron mask = -16 or all metal. These can also create more false positives and make the detector unstable.
Changing gain can make weaker targets louder. 7 instead of 5.
Some things improve the detectors performance, making as few passes across targets as you can, keeping the coil parallel and very close to the ground at all times, searching in clear ground, resting the detector on clear ground, using noise cancel every time.
The advice from minelab to increase depth was use deep on fast off and sensitivity up.
