You can take your time and listen to each response before you dig, move/adjust the disc and recheck each reponse listening to the differences before you dig, practice pinpointing and learn how to recover and replace the sod properly. Starting in your yard is a great/perfect idea. and 5' once in a while.I'd use the stock 8' for a while until you get really familiar with your machine. Solid coils and open designed spider coils made for the 1200X series. There is a 3', 5', 8', 10&1/2', and some bigger/older (12') Hot-Head brand coils for Fishers also. I would suggest buying a 'used' one though if your considering!?.New ones are getting 'pricey'. Your 35 will go VERY deep! Headphones are a must for the deepie's and a 10' coil will get you down there even more. Now, If it has a clipping/broken chattery signal as you approach/pass over the target? The signal is being affected by the disc and it is up to you wether or not you want to investigate those 'iffy' signals at first!? Hope this helps you get started? Kinda hard to explain but I tried.Good-Luck!.Īnd, Listen carefully for those very soft,faint signals. The *good* target sound that *smoothly* increases as you approach/swing over the target, as you pass over the/a *good* target, the sound will *smoothly* decrease.(staying *whole*).

Now, it takes a bit to get to know the sounds(practice) but listen for the nice smooth, full-*whole*-round sound. Great unit you got there! First, figure out where/what you'd like to disc out and set accordingly.If you want to jump right in and start finding coins mostly, and dig less trash at first? Keep it(disc) pretty high(6/7 or above?)
