Just started using my e-trac and I am detecting in an old amusement park that is in a rather wet flood plain. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should set up my machine. The first day I used the coin program that came with the detector and found one buffalo nickel. The 2nd day I used Andy Sabisch's pattern, that I found on Youtube, and got skunked...I am sure it was my inexperience rather than the program. When I dig more than a few inches the hole fills with water.

Don't be shy about asking questions guys. We all had to learn at some point, but there is no sense in going at it alone when others have already gained experience they won't mind sharing. :yes: As a start, consider the information posted HERE. Then build on it as you gain experience while working your particular sites. thumbsup01

Set up with Andy's pattern, use multi-conduct, fast off, deep off. Dig EVERYTHING that gives a repeatable signal, not just the high tones.

I agree with Jason's advice. Keep it simple and good luck with your new machine.

I suggest using High Trash right off the bat. It's great for picking up good targets right next to bad targets and this can occur even where it's not so trashy.
