Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there would be different settings for hunting gold and silver and of course relics. I have learned to keep your disc at #2 setting and not to pass 6 on your sens when your hunting.

Been rule of thumb hits its max at 4.8 but I always try to run even higher 5-6 as long as my unit is stable. As far as disc. goes all depends at what items your after..
As far as the high tones falses and grunts can always run higher for coins and if you get a high tone hit you are not sure of can always drop it to zero. Sort of up to individual but if after silver like to run high disc....whatever works is the name of the game....

I have always set mine up at 4.8-6.0 Sens. as long as stable. Disc. at 0 as I want to hear everything and let the Tones tell me what to dig. And last volume at 4 as to get the rite modulated audio for my hearing as at this setting anything past 6'' is softer sounding and hopefully older. And ground balance at neutral maybe a hair positive for good measure.
dl,
Everyone is giving you great advice.
Note that they all say to run disc at "0". That's a hard earned lesson to be able to hear iron trying to 'sneak up' on you.
Since the iron sounds have a unique/different (lower) frequency to all the rest, you can easily tell when you're dealing with big iron that way.
Otherwise you'll get good hits off of the edge of iron signals and waste a lot of time digging rusty nails and the like.
Another trick for 'qualifying' signals is to spend a little more time in pinpoint mode (a true non-motion all-metal mode). It doesn't just help you locate the target.
It also tell you the relative size and shape of the target. Use it right away to help eliminate obvious junk...like a coke can...or to hear that nice tight, small sound of a ring calling out to you.
Silver coins, of course hits the highest tone.
Gold, unfortunately, can hit anywhere on your meter (on any detector, for that matter). The big gold coins are higher conductors, but most gold jewelry tends to hit as 'foil' on the 3D. (Kind of annoying really...but it's just the way it is.)
If you can keep from going crazy while digging foil, you'll start getting gold rings and other jewelry.
Good luck, and HH,
mike
