Title: Bit of very basic help. Post by: Jamesflood on September 10, 2010, 07:55:32 AM Ok, im pretty new to this, ive found a few coins on a bech so far (just our money and an american coin) but i really dont think im doing it correctly.
I have this metal detector: TS-150 Metal Detector. http://www.e-sun.cn/en/d.aspx?pht=389 (http://www.e-sun.cn/en/d.aspx?pht=389) Im not sure if im setting it up correctly. Can someone just put it in basic simple terms of how to get this up and running so its running effectivley? Everytime i seem to go to a lower part of the surface, the noise comes on. Like travelling down a slope to lower ground. I just need to some easy to understand insttructions on how to get this working :) Thankyou Title: Re: Bit of very basic help.

I'm new to the hobby too and don't know much. Some of the Guys will probably tell you book and verse what to do with your detector. All I know is that some don't work at all well on wet sand but are fine on the dry. Does yours have a beach setting. If so select it and turn down the disc to cut out the rubbish. I find a litttle less sens. works better as well. Don't dispair. Know how you feel. Went out myself yesterday and came home with another load of lead weights and one coin, Goerge V1. That surprised me. It was near the top of beach, on wet sand, by some rocks at 1in All the best Val Title: Re: Bit of very basic help. Post by: Jamesflood on September 10, 2010, 08:46:22 AM I went down Caswell and Langland and was getting stressed because I didnt know if it was working or not. As one point i buried a few coppers down about half a foot to see if it was working :P
I need to do some field work I think but need a buddy to do it with. Title: Re: Bit of very basic help. Post by: Chef Geoff on September 10, 2010, 08:56:08 AM Hi James, I have downloaded the instructions and given them a read, but unfortunately they are the usual Chinese translation and don't really make much sense unless you are looking at the machine.
I presume from what you are describing that the ground balance is drifting as you change location, this should be easily rectified by pressing the retune button, and as Val has suggested turn down your sense to about half way which may help stop it drifting in the first place. I can't be any more help from a distance but as you are going to the rally on the 26th, I'll be able to give you more help then. Title: Re: Bit of very basic help. Post by: Jamesflood on September 10, 2010, 09:15:28 AM I think that the more I play with it the easier things will become for me to understand. I have the manual, but its not the type of manual which is as easy as 1...2...3
Yes I will definatley be attending the rally, and am looking forward to seeing everyones gear. I need to show the misses im more intersted than she thinks so she can upgrade me for xmas :) Title: Re: Bit of very basic help. Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on September 10, 2010, 02:58:37 PM Hi James
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of metal detecting ;0) Ive just had a quick read of the manual and i see what you mean is not very instructional. Making a test bed in the garden or the beach is a very good idea and i think we've all done that at one time or another. Its a good way of understanding what the detector is trying to tell you and you can make adjustments to the GB and sens to be able to make very weak signals Clearer . I liked the stated Maximun depth for your Detector it says 1.5 metres :o :o where do i get one lol you might get that sort of depth if you was detecting for Cars or tanks lol Your finding with it already so i think you only need a fine tune it you maximise your find rate. I dont normally advise Air testing, but i think it could be usefull to you to get to know the machine and hopfuly get to understand it a bit better All the best Phil |
