I dont know your detector.

So found this video for it on line to help explain a air test. Air air test is helpful as it shows what to listen for and that the machine is working correctly. It is a false sense of depth as that changes withe items in the ground.

Just a guess but the manual says it good for locating nails in wood somewhere. This a Very Low Frequency detector. It has a Discrimination and all metal modes. It has ear plug jacks and a good set of head phones and practice may allow you to identify targets better.

There is no settings on your detector for gold and silver. Just ferrous and non-ferrous metal. You also have several knobs to learn to set, any combination could be wrong. Read the manual.

Start with a basic setting and learn what it is telling you. You will find all sorts of things. Over time you will get better in finding keepers.
