new to the site and to hunting...............

figured I would start off with an ace 150 and try that and see if I liked how it works. I have found a quarter and 5 pennies and a dime and a nickel........... my only problem is pinpointing ......... by the time I get done I have a hole in my yard about the size of a basketball........ I turn down the sensitivity and try and narrow up the field but it just does not seem to be working for me that great yet............... can anyone give me some pointers??

Welcome to Treasure Quest Goldwing...After you get used to your machine, you will dig a lot better..It takes time to learn, but will get better..When I started out, my wife used to laugh at my crater holes that I dug..after all these years I can now just pop a coin out and leave hardly a trace of where I have been...You got a lot of coins for your first hunt...Congrats....Buster...
