A buddy of mine is digging a lot of nails

Lower sens to 18-20. Some Iron Bias may help but not too much, 2-3. Increase response speed to 7. Check targets from two different directions... If good one way and bad the other it is most likely junk. If the VDI bounces more than a few numbers be suspect. Switch in to "all metal" and evaluate the target as well.
If he hasn't already, suggest he listen to known good targets and really focus on what they sound like. A good target has good tonal quality. I prefer 50 tones as I feel it gives more information about the target. All that being said, he (we) will get fooled now and then by a deep rusty nail... especially the bent ones. He will also improve with more time on the machine...learning it's language. Good luck!

Its impossible to diagnose a 3rd person's problems over the internet. It could any number of things. We dont know what his settings are, so we have no starting point

It doesn't sound like he's doing anything wrong to me. Detecting in a field with relatively few targets; I (and probably many others) would be digging up any target that might sound good and old square nails often do. Otherwise, dbado1 suggestions seem spot on.
