 tips n tricks ive read & practised (& seems to work).

there are only really 2 main things to get right (& tune on the run), on the little Monster.

Sensitivity & Ground Balance.

as a side note, if you are using 'All Metal' & having big problems then switch to 'Gold Mode'. This mostly discriminates out ferrous targets & helps quieten it down, but will also lose depth & possibly some targets.

Use Manual Sensitivity, & on noisy ground start low, & then adjust upwards until it gets noisy then back off a notch, but run it as high as you can. You may need to adjust this as you move around over different ground.

If you haven't already seen them, there are a couple of good Youtube videos on Ground Balance, by Nugget Shooter (& a couple of others). The important thing to keep in mind is that the GM needs to 'average' the ground. To do this you need to move the coil around over the area whilst pumping up & down for ground balance. Don't just balance in the one spot, & every 30-50m or so its good to give it a quick wandering pump to keep the ground balance up.

 Its a tricky unit in noisy ground & Im still learning it too, but, practise practise practise

hope this helps a bit

 ps this is a handy clip on GB & sensitivity
