Auto or manual sensitivity in high trash?

[james1969]

Well after a month with the GT I can say it is far better than the Quattro I ran for two years,depth is fantatstic,I constantly dig coins in the 10-12+ inch range,pinpointing is spot on and that's a big change from the Quattro!,the Gt also finds smaller targets and seems a lot hotter on low conductive items.The biggest change is in recovery speed,the GT has really impressed me with it's ability to find coins in iorn and trash,yesterday I hunted my parents garden,I had pounded this before with the Quattro and a Compass Coinscanner pro 2,I was only looking for old silver coins so I turned the Disc to max and worked very very slowly in silent search and auto sensitivity,I came away with 8 old copper coins and a lot of respect for the GT!

Anyway my question is is it better to hunt in high trash or iorn in auto or a low manual sensitivity?,does one provide faster recovery than the other?

If you put the coil to the soil, and leave it stationary, and it starts to make noise, then the sensitivety level is right on the brink of un-stable. Prolly as close to perfect as you can get. When you swing the coil, the noise is gone. I wonder why. That is where I like to set mine.

Anyway, there is only one place where I know I gotta use the auto setting, and that is on a small section of beach. I don't know why that is as well. hmm.


Other sections of beach, where the machine seems a little noisy, at first causes me to slow down more, but then, none of targets are at all repeatable, so then I know I gotta lower the sensitivety to about 1 o'clock at the lowest.

Don't forget you have Band 1, and Band 2 to shoose from as well.
