...and respond. When running in disc mode you may experience a low tone with a yellow or fluctuating LED display (red/yellow) which may turn out to be a junk jewelry item (large earring for example) or a large iron item (something other than a coin shape or wire) but small iron such as a hair pin nulls out. This tells me that when you get a low tone with fluctuating LED you should dig it but when the threshold nulls out its usually iron. Does anyone else concur? Thanks.

It has been a few years since I had a BHID, but I think you are right on the money Bill. I went a bit further and if it showed ANY red, I did not dig, even on the beaches of Mexico where some foreign coins come in pretty low on the VDI scale, were still in the yellow section on the BHID. Any flash of red meant a worthless dig to me. I'm sure there may be exceptions though.
 
would you believe that I have never run in the discrim. mode; when my lights go red then blue and jump around its normally the new Canadian coinage here in Canada due to the iron content so red is not always a bad thing for us in the north. I never dig a solid red hit unless it is a real faint & deep sounding, then I do, just like a faint signal and no light indicated. H.H.
