General Advice

[MrKeen92]

Just looking for some general advice on the legend please. Picked up secondhand, have updated software to latest versions (was still on 01.10!), having read the manuals etc, I'm looking at the following.

Type - Field (will be mainly pasture)
Tone - 4
Multi frequency - M3 (today due to yday rain, still wet) otherwise I'm likely to set to M2.

Other than that, for now as a newbie to the machine I wasn't looking to really mess with any other settings, unless needing to adjust sensitivities etc for any ground noise.

The settings you stated should work just fine for starting out. Get familiar, then learn how the various settings effect the unit in the field and in the test garden.

Cheers, I've been well away with it the past month and much more confident with the machine now. Learning more as I go on of course

Don't forget to Noise Cancel regularly and GB carefully. For me this works well on pasture and ploughed land. Start with Sens at 25 and go up or down to keep chattering to a level that you find acceptable. If you go on to use M2 (as things dry out) don't bother with a manual GB as (for me) it increases chattering. I set IF to 3 to start with as my land has a lot of iron in it. Go low and slow and don't trust Ferrocheck until you're sure you know what it's telling you.

Yeah I've been using M1 and M2 depending on the ground, M3 if it's damp/wet. Always noise cancel, haven't had to GB much if at all.
Ferrocheck is wild tbh because I swept over someone's Henry 7 penny and it was showing full ferrous
