Threshold drives me nuts so I run it 1 notch below the lowest setting. Just curious what other people are doing
Thanks
 
the same on the XSII unless Im real bored and then may turn it up for some tunes <IMG SRC="/forums/images/biggrin.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":D"> the XSII is really adjustable tho......can make it very faint if you like....HH
 
I have 4 detectors and run them all with the threshhold as low as possible but able to be heard. I like to know if something is nulling out.

What advantage do you feel you get by hearing the nulls?
 
I believe you are missing alot if you are running without a threshold. Like jim says you want to hear whats going on in the ground. If you hunt fields like myself I can guarantee you will miss little pockets of stuff becouse you can't sense the difference in the ground. When hunting with other people at new sites I am usually the one that finds the spot becouse I can just feel it coming. What I compare it to is an equalizer slowly starting to receive sound. Once at the site I believe the sounds while running a threshold gauge your speed and almost your timing in a sense. I used a gti which I felt better about running no threshold but wouldn't consider it with the explorer.
 
You get into a null and it means slow down, you tend to swing way to fast without a threshold to tell you your getting into iron.. Even important in semi clean areas as sometimes a very deep target will null the first time over it with a fast sweep, so even in clean ground it pays to sweep a null slowly a few times before moving on.. no threshold and you walk right over it
