I use a knife to probe the ground were i get a hit. Just poke it in the ground and if you fill a hit then dig in that spot. If you are in a rocky area it wont work as well. But it has helped a lot. Got the idea out of metal detecting magazine.
thanks for the advice on digging up treasures. I keep digging up stuff but can never find it. I'll try the grass clump technique. I have the same metal detector =)
I use BH detector----Pioneer 202 and have 2 coils 8&4 inch--4 inch=good in trashy ground----8" a bit deeper. Here's a battery tip=I am still using a pair of Sunbeam 9V batteries after several hunts of at least 3 hours or so each hunt---can't believe those dollar apiece bats are lasting so well----so folks go to Dollar Tree and buy a couple Sunbeam 9v bats for your BH detector---
i use kinda the same detector! it works very well! one thing i dont like tho, the arm rest mount, that screws onto the main BODY of the detector! it breaks very easy! i had to mod mine so the arm rest is seperate of the main chassis!
This is an entry level detector. Inexpensive so if you don't like metal detecting you are not out much money. But good enough to actually find stuff.

Always use a hand trowel in grassy parks or lawns--you can dig a smaller hole to retrieve finds
