Does DISC affect depth??

I've read a few posts that suggest that your DISC settings affect depth. I don't understand that cause I thought it only affected what the machine "reports", audibly masking out unwanted condutivity readings.
The other question is pinpointing. If you have several targets(in this case it was a busted up pipe with shards of it strew in an area about 3ft circular)that are very close together, how do you pinpoint the target you want....in this case, I didn't have enough room to wiggle the coil back to me without picking up a new target. The trash was highly conductive, therefore misleading. My technique in other situations was to cut a path into the "good" target by digging other "unwanted targets". Any suggestions for a better approach, or is it even worth the trouble????
Let me add that I have been VERY pleased with the responses to other question and DEEPLY(no pun)appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions.
Oh,,, and all you "NEWBIES LIKE ME" should put your "CENTS"(pun <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> ) into postings .... remember...."From the mouths of Babes..."
 
The problem is that in perfect soil there is no affect in the depth with using high discrimination. Soil isn't perfect therefore less discrimination is better. The more targets I get when using iron mask helps me to realize this fact.

I think Tim is saying with more disc you have a better chance of masking targets. I don't thing disc out targets is going to affect the depth.
I'm anxious to try Charles last program he set up. Black out the bottom half. Learn nickels in and some gold rings and leave the top half open. Run Ferrous and hear the low iron tones and the good targets are high.

I went to Iron Mask to try and see if a High target I had was really Iron...It shocked me to hear all these other targets suddenly...but I figured a good target would punch through the null...am I wrong????
 
Rick,
That is how I have been running mine, but in conductivity. I get a lot of rusty nails so the last couple of times i use Ferrious and it helped alot. I still go back and fourth in iron mask too at a -10 when I want to realy do a good job.

With realy thick trash in an open to wide open iron mask program the screen is worthless since you get a target hit every 2 inches and there are so many sounds going off nearly at once and mixed together its very tough to pick out the coins.
The silver is down deep next to the nails which is why I want the iron inlcuded so they don't mask them and blacking out the bottom half knocks out 80% of the shallow junk at least.
I used this near a baseball diamond that is carpeted in trash to root out quite a few silvers. The last score was double barber dimes in a single plug.
