I studied - not just read - but truly studied Andy Sabisch's book. Since I had no previous experience with Minelab detectors, his book was all I had. Long before my detector arrived I understood it as well as I could. I also visited this forum often and asked questions about anything I didn't understand. When my E-trac finally arrived I put it into the Coin mode, used 4 tones, upped the threshold pitch for a high silver tone, latched in silver dollars and off I went. Since then I've tweaked a few settings, like the discrimination pattern, and hunt with multi tones. So I must highly recommend Andy's Explorer/E-trac handbook. And as Nick mentioned, don't get lost in everyones advice.
