You should move the coins away from the coil when you start the machine. The detection field goes up as far as it goes down. This can screw up you test results. Great video and even better info...
the factory program for coins notches out large silver (don't know why) go to menu> discrimination> edit & open up the top right hand corner of your discrimination.
Wow...this is excellent information for ETrac owners. I was having a heck of a time getting even 90% silver halves to chirp (FE=5/6) and got almost nothing on silver dollars with my air tests (FE=1). I was indeed in Normal ground. I will remember this tip when seeking silver.
I have a chinese cheapo that will not detect bullion oz. silver coin even if you touched coil with it. Even Tesoro topline will pick small 800 Ag coin further from coil then a large pure bullion coin. Silver is a tricky metal;).
Easy answer: Keep it on the "Difficult" setting then :-) Oh and take it out of "Auto" for a start - What other settings you have, can you list them?

if you crreate a pattern or combine with minelab coins it will come up like fish and sticks at every corner.....remember coins are not pure.

Odd that it doesn't detect the silver coin in the Neutral setting. Great test!
