discrimination mean depth loss?

None of processor modes will lose depth with higher disc settings, some gain and are the same from low to high.
DE = Gain at higher disc settings
BP = No change from high to low
JE = No change from high to low
BC = No change from high to low
PF = Gain at higher disc settings
CL = No change from high to low
Just a note that slow sweep speed in the DE mode will cost you a couple of inches. When you run BP or CL sweep speed doesn't seem to make much difference. I haven't tested the JE, BC or the PF processor modes.
Hope this helps,

"Just a note that slow sweep speed in the DE mode will cost you a couple of inches."
so, if I'm sweeping quickly for depth in DE and get a deep, subtle 'tick'. I then go back to investigate but naturally, without thinking, I slow down the sweep trying to see it again, but it's no longer there? Looks like I'd have to do short quick sweeps to try and find it again to investigate. Does this scenario happen with success on these kinds of signals?

The manual touches on the sweep speed and ID of target. Here is what the manual has to say.
SWEEP SPEED
The F75 is noted for its quick response. This gives it unsurpassed ability to locate and identify
good targets surrounded by trash. It also permits the user to sweep the searchcoil quickly in
order to cover more ground with very little risk of losing targets. In general, if you are
searching an area where the desirable targets are more than 8 to 10 inches deep, a faster
sweep speed will detect to a greater depth and yield more accurate target IDs.
CHECKING A TARGET
In order to most accurately verify a detected target with most other metal detectors, users will
narrow their sweep and loiter over the top of the target. The F75 is different. The F75's quick
response and advanced signal sampling system produces the most accurate target IDs with
deliberate (shoulder width) sweeps all the way across the target, even if there are other
targets nearby. If you check targets using sweep techniques learned on some other detectors,
you run the risk of getting less accurate target IDs. You can use the confidence level indicator
to improve your technique.
Now being an old man I kind like running in the boost processor and slow things down a little bit. When I hunt the DE mode I don't seem to have a lot of trouble but you got to keep in mind what the detector will do. Sometimes I don't understand how to locate a good target with a shoulder to shoulder swing and the detector hit on several other targets in the same swing.
You can use the DE mode kind of like 3 processors in one.
1 = slow sweep speed could be used run surface or shallow items.
2 = fast sweep speed will get you more depth
3 = max out for this mode would be fast sweep speed, max disc and use the notch to notch items back in like nickels.
Next time you hit a kind of weak signal using DE mark the spot and switch to BP and see what that processor will do for you. You may like it, I do.

thanks Ron, I'm an old retired guy also...
good info...appreciate it.
