Default Sensitivity?

I have a Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter Ultra Mag. Don't know if its a good detector or not, but i guess its ok to start out with. Ok i need to know about sensitivity when looking for coins, relics, cache, and jewelry.

Coin Shooting-Press Disc/All Metal touchpad. 2-Turn the disc/notch knob to the 3:00 position. Sensitivity?

Relic hunting-Press Disc/All Metal touchpad. 2-Turn the disc/notch knob 100% counterclockwise. Sensitivity?

Cache Hunting-Press Disc/all metal touchpad. 2. turn the disc/notch know 100% counterclockwise. or use No-Motion All Metal Mode. Sensitivity?

Jewelry-Press the Auto Notch touchpad. 2-Set disc/notch knob at 2:00. Sensitivity?

Ok another question-When it says hit Disc/All metal touchpad do i ht disc then all metal touchpad or just just use one or the other?

And always tune detector outdoors?

Hi, Your Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter Ultra Mag Is A Good Machine If Your Having Fun And Finding Stuff With It. Like Your Machine And Mine There Is Always Something Out There That Is Better (personal preference). I Could Buy Any Machine I Want But I Choose To Run My Hunk Of Junk. The Main Reason I Do Is Because I Know How To Run It. Run Your Sensitivity As High As Possible Just As Long As Your Machine Stays Stable And Does Not Run Erratic Or You Dig Alot Of False Signals. There Is Exceptions To This Rule Where You Would Run Less Sensitivity. Like When Your Working In Heavy Trash Areas Etc. This Applies To All Forms Of Hunting. Yes Tune The Detector Outside & Use The Other One. I Also Highly Recommend You Read Your Manual. Sorry But I Type With My Pinky And It's Getting Tired So That's It For Now..Thanks JJ

Hi, Don't Concentrate About What To Find. Focus And Concentrate On How Successful Your Going To Be. You Can't Control The Good Or Bad Targets In The Ground But You Can Control How Successful You Will Be By Reading Your Manual And Learning How To Use Your Machine. In A Nutshell If You Don't Know How To Run Your Machine Then Mother Earth Will Not Reward You. It's A Fact There's More Money Lost Than There Is In Circulation Today..Always Hunt With A Positive Attitude. Hey Gotta Go Pinkys Tired ....Thanks JJ
