I am a CXIII user, but I think the same questions apply to all Garrett users.
Is there any advantage at all to COIN mode? I have tried to find a reason to use this mode, but when I weigh the two, ALL METAL seems to be the only way to hunt. The only time I ever use COIN mode is when there is an extremely large amount of trash. I use the detector mostly for coin shooting, but I dig many relics as well. I would never want to give up the depth that I get in ALL METAL mode. I also dug an 1859 Indian Head last week that read slightly above a nickel. Had I been in COIN mode, I most definitely would have missed this.
Other than the reason above, why use coin mode?
